Eczema, Psoriasis and other skin
troubles are caused by myriads OF
germs at work in the skin. Unless
these germs are promptly destroyed
they rapidly multiply, gnawing their
way deep into the sensitive tissue.
This is what causes that awful itch,
and what seemed a mere rash
may grow worse and develop into a
lOathsome and torturing skin disease
with it's years Of misery.

FINDS THE MISSING MANS
BODY AT BOTTOM OF WELL

Sturgis, S. D., Sept. 13.-A second at
tempt was made yesterday to reach
the bottom of the well here in which
the explosion occurred when four men
were badly burned and others injured
while searching for the remains Of
Hanford Beals. Of Cottonwood, who
had been missing since last Tuesday.
The search was successful. After
taking out q lot Of old timber and dirt,
apparently saturated with gasoline, the
body of Beals was found and taken
out with a rope. Coroner Brandt took
possession of the remains.
1t is still q mystery as to where
the gasoline came from and how Beals
met his death. Thirty-one dollars and
sixteen cents was found in his clothes,
also q watch, knife and some papers.
The we'll has not been used for years.
Beals was so years old. He leaves sew
eral children. He was a member Of
h d Fellow and Workmen lodges.
In the first search a lantern was
lowered and a heavy explosion fol-
lowed, caused by gas. Robert Cruick-
shank was terribly burned on the head
and face. while Sheriff Collins had both
arms and hands badly cooked. Charles
Hunt, J.. +. Henry and others were
badly burned.
Nothing had been heard from Beals
since he came TO town with some
money, and foul play was suspected.

bv Sheriff Ouien, Of Lincoln county,
having entered q plea Of guilty IN n a
county to the charge Of robblng the
Farmers State bank at Tea, a town
on the Great Northern railroad, south
OF Sioux Falls. .
Riley was sentenced TO a term OF
eight years. while Mack and Co1llnS
will serve terms Of seven years each.
The three men are supposed to belong
to the Daily gang Of robbers, u as
they entered pelas Of guilty and did
not stand trial the prosecution had no
opportunity TO strive TO prove TINS.
The robbery was committed during the
closing days OF last May.
Following the robbery the three men
came to Sioux Falls and had not been
here long until Chief Of Police John
ston heard Of the robbery at Tea. He
had previously had his eye on the
three suspicious strangers, who had
made their headquarters in Sioux Falls
for several days prior to the robbery.
Chief of Police Johnston went direct

by prompt action, backed up by a huge
revolver, he arrested the three men
who now nave been placed in the PEN
itentiary.
When arrested they had in their pos
session $642.10 of the stolen money. of
which amount all but $2.10 was in
gold. The money taken from the
bank was $1,000 in silver and gold.
What became of the greater amount of
the silver has never been discovered.
The explosion of nitroglycerin when
the safe was blown open dislodged
some heavy irons, which fell on a
chest containing $4,000 in currency,
preventing the robbers securing 1t
without great delay, which would
nave been dangerous, as residents of
Tea were aroused by the explosion and
were soon on the scene, exchanging
shots with the robbers, who fled in
stantly upon snatching up the silver
and gold. =

MASONIC WINDOW IN THE
YANkTON CHURCH UNIQUE

Yankton, S. D., Sept. 13.-In Christ.
Episcopal church, this city, is a beau
tiful window, filed with Masonic en-
blems, and presented to the church on
Ascension day, 1888.
Rev. w. j. Harris, D. D., a former,
rector here, and who designed this win
dow, and in fact most of the others and
the church itself, writes to say that
after some inquiry he believes this win
dow TO be the only one in q church on
the western hemisphere that has for
it's subject the order of the knights
Templar, or any other Masonic body, so,
far as that goes.
The communication has aroused
much interest in a window that hith-
erto has received but a passing thought.
Further inquiry has failed to show that
any place of Christian worship in Eu-
rope has such a window, and it looks
as if the window in question stood
unique, the only Masonic. window in
any Christian church in the world, as 1t
certainly is in this country.

PROPOSE TO ORGANIZE
THE MERIDIAN HIGHWAY

Pierre, Sept. Estate Engineer Lea
is receiving a number Of inquiries
from people interested in the construc-
ton of the Meridian road. The latest
proposition advanced by those having
the project in hand is to enter the.
state at Yankton, cross over into h
Sioux valley, striking Sioux Falls, Ar
lington, Watertown, passing west Of
Big Stone and Traverse, and north
following the Red closely. through
Fargo, Grand Forks, Pembina. etc, to.
Winnipeg.
1t is suggested in some Of the letters
that those interested meet with Mr..
Lea at some convenient point to per-
feet a state organization. AL states
south of South Dakota have already
organized. The Lincoln highway, pro-
posed by Senator Cullom Of Illinois at
the last congress, extending from
washington, u. G., to Seattle, will
cross the Meridian road in the vicinity
Of Sioux Falls.
