Deaf and Dumb Investigation,

The committee appointed to %invcsti'
gate the Deaf and Dumb Institute re.
ported MS follows: That said institution
has been wisely, economically and eff.
GENTLY administered, and that the eyi.
dcnce proves co~nclusively that the su.
perintendent and board OF trustees have
been remarkably efficient and painstak-
ing in the discharge OF their respective
7r1rtifs: We, therefore, commend him
and them, and characterize as utterly
frivolous and unfounded the charges OF
extravaganza and mismanagemcnt which
this committee was called upon to in

The Old Capitol Again.

The old capitol building is a perplex.
ing problem to the law makers of the
state. The Burkitt bill to repair it and
use it as a state historical hall was
killed earlier in the session by one vote.
The proposition bobbed up again and it
is proposed to move several of the state
departments to the old capitol building,
agriculture, war and insurance, as well
as the historical department. Senator
Burkitt brought the bill up on a motion
to reconsider and it was passed With

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed. the
skin would scale of, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore. there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully. 1t just seemed as
though could tear the skin all off. I
would scratch them and the skin would
peel of, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor.
ried ME very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
I was 30 afraid I would have to give
up my employment.
my doctor said he didn't think It
would amount to anything. But 1t kept
getting worse. One day l saw a piece
in n of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
she had used Cuticura Soap and Oint.
ment and was cured. / decided to try
them. and my hands were all healed
before I had used one cake Of Cuti-
cura Ointment. I am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
I was cured, and did not have to lose
a day from work. I have had no re-

BRYAN MENACE STILL WITH us

Newspaper readers are discovering
that William Jennings Bryan is Meth
err dead nor sleeping, that he is still
with us and that the menace of his
harebrained theories is as as great as
ever, says the Herald Republican. His
influence with his own party is as
potent as it has been at anv time since
1896; he has again raised his banner
Of discomfort, and his battle cry of
"Down with the successful and the
prosperous, up with the failures is
as potent Of evil as it ever was. Bryan
and Organism is the deadly virus in
the veins of the Democracy that has
brought it near unto death before and
is doing SO again. 1t removes the. con
fidence a great mass of the people
might be willing to repose in a healthy
minority whose function as a deterrent
on the majority is legitimate and often
necessary.
Bryan is the apostle of the discon-
tented and Senator LaE'ollette is EN-
deavoring to force the cherries Ne
braskan to make it a partnership af-
fair with the Wisconsin senator as jun
Tor partner. Neither ever framed a con

ing "wolf, wolf,' turning out the

the street car income and the automo-
bile appetite, the business or political
failure, the discontented in every
branch of life form the raw material
which both Bryan and LaFollette hope
to work over into loyal followers OF
themselves.
Bryan is more dangerous than La
Toilette because he is more intelligent
because he has high rank in his own
party and because the latter as the
party of negation offers better oppor
