Mr.. KELLY RETURNS.

Mr. Isaac Kelly whose unusual story
was related last Friday paid The En-
quirer visit yesterday, on his arrival
from Texas by way of Blacksburg
where his brother John Kelly had gone
to meet him.
The story as printed, told how while
being brought from Texas in an emf.
grant wagon along with his mothers
family thirty-two years ago, he got his
leg broken near Cedar Hill, Dallas
county, and how he had to be left
there in charge Of man named Shi.
nal, who subsequently declined to give
the family any information about the
boys whereabouts.
The long lost man turns out to be q
farmer about 46 years of age, who has
a wife and three children as well as
one grand child. He has had to make
his way in the world the best he could
handicapped by many disadvantages
and seems to have done very well TAX
ing everything into consideration.
Mr.. Kelly says that some weeks after
he was left by his mother there came
a letter from her to Shinal; but he
could not read himself then and Shinal
misrepresented the contents. Shinal
told him that Mrs. Kelly had writ
ten that her team had been stolen; but
not to be alarmed as she would soon
make other arrangements and send
for him. Another letter from his moth
er to Shinal was made to say that the
team had been recovered and that
money would be sent shortly. Shinal
turned out to be a rough, heartless fell
low, and as soon as he was able Kelly
left him to. shift for himself, and said
he had a hard time Of It..
Notwithstanding the long separation
Mr.. Kelly had no trouble In identifying
himself to his brother. Both remem-
bered numerous incidents Of their
childhood and then the scar where the
piece of bone had come out Of the
broken leg and twisted arm gotten as
a result of a previous fall from tree
were certificates that needed no furth-
er attestation.
After a day with his brothers in
Yorkville, Mr.. Kelly will go up to visit
his aged mother, who lives at Mr.. Bar
nett's in Bethel township, about two
miles south Of Riddles mill.

with sores on my arms like boils. AT
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, and some going

quit, but my arms, neck and body

rash. 1t would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains Of

flesh were raw, and l could scarcely
bear my clothes on. could not lie
In bed in any position and rest. In
about year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then l suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. L
could hardly walk and for a long time
I could not put on socks.

thing could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was

given up in despair of ever being cured
when I was advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. 1 purchased Cuti-

the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
four months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cured. 1t is now year, and

Tn nv recent message to the congress
T urged consideration of the necessity of
placinsy in the classified service all of the
local officers under the departments of
the treasury, the interior postoftice and

The next step which must be taken is
TO REQUIRE of heads of bureaus in the de-
partments at Washington, and of most of
the local officers under the departments,
qualifications of capacity similar to those
now required of certain heads of bureaus
and of local officers. The extension OF
the merit system to these officers and
needed readiustTnent Of salaries will have
important effects in securing greater
economy and efficiency.
In the first place. the possession by the
inc,Imbents of these positions OF requisite
Qualifications must in itself promote efh-

col officers from the realm of political
