JOHNSON AFTER GREAT STRIKE
 OUT RECORD.

WHERE are a number of remarkable
 things which may happen during this summers baseball season, but one which is sure to come off is that Walter Johnson will pass the 1 800 mark in strikeouts unless he abandons the game or breaks that $100.00o arm.
 The man who. won the automobile for being the most valuable player in the American league last season has. since he entered fast company, claimed jor league hurler has in the seven con secutive seasons from 1907 to 1913 a1nassed this total. In fact. only three other men have famed over 1000 ball players in this length of time. They are Ed Walsh. Nap Rucker and Christy Mathewson.
 ssBig Ed' Walsh. the spitball star of the White Sox, has been Johnson's closest rival for the title of strikeout king. The Chicagoan has sent 1s4o5 batters back to the bench since he has beenSa contemporary of the Senatorial star. Welsh twirled in only sixteen games last season, but from 1907 to 1913, inclusive. he took part in forty eight more battles than the renowned Kansan.

 Never Kicks
 Over Salary

NAPOLEON I.AJOIE never has been ~ known to complain regarding the salary paid him by Charles w. Somers, but 1t is quite likely that he wishes that during all the time he has worked for the Maps their liberal owner had offered him bonus. such as Joe Jack son has been proffered this season. The Carelina. c1outer. according to a rumor. is to get so much if he hits above 400. so much if he hits above
 375, and so much if he hits above -S50. Never having hit below the last named mark since he has been in the AIneri- will earn at least one of them.
 Look what Larry would have had, however. in the way of extra renun- eration had his contract called for more money in the event of his hitting above 1850, -375 or 400. In 1901 work ing for Connie Mack. the king piled up an average of .422, still the highWater mark for the American league and only approached by Fy Cobb in 1911, the year he was accounted the most val1- able player in the younger organiza- ton by the Chalmers jury Of newspa- per experts. The Georgian hit APO son having an average Of .4o8 in 1911. and Charley (Duxe) Farrell an aver age of .404 in 1903.
 During the two years of his employ ment by Somers. Larry has hit better than .375 and In five years better than
 $50. Cobb has been above the last named mark six times Hans Wagner five times, oe Jackson four times. Iris Speaker twice, Ed De1ehanty twice, Olaf Henricksen twice and Mike Don lin twice.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
1--WE used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura ONT
ment. washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone IN two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. K Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

RUBBER is GRATED ON MEN
Partisan Surgeon Reports Two Sue

Paris, March 1a-Professor Pierre
Delbet of the surgical clinic of the
University of Paris has communicate
ed to the academy of medicine a re-
port on his discovery Of the feast
bility of grating India rubber on liv-

ed two cases in which he said expert
ments he had made had proved sue
cessful.
In one of these cases, where the
flesh of finger had adhered to the
bone, making the finger useless, the
professor said he had interposed
thin sheet of rubber and that the
patient is now able to use the finger
freely. The other case was an ex.
tensive hernia of the large intestine.
A thick sheet of rubber grated into
the abdominal cavity, Professor Del
bet said, gave absolutely permanent
relief.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
CoNFEssEs HE FIRED MILL
TURTLE RIVER, MIMI, Ex.cON.
vIcT WRITES CONFESSION.
Frank Warner, Traced by Split Heel,
Makes No Defense When Charged
With Evidence.

Bemidji.-Confessing that he start
ed the fire which Friday morning de-
stroyed the $4,000 sawmill of the
Bemidji Lumber company, Frank
Warner, who is a former Justice
of the peace at Turtle River and an
ex-convict, was given an indetermi-
nate sentence in the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary.
A split heel was Warmers undoing.
The authorities are now tracing out
the theory that Warner fired the saw
mill, throwing 800 men out of employ
ment, in order that accomplices might
take advantage of the rush of people
out of town and blow the safe in some
business house. Warmers plans were
delayed by the mill Waterman and
the plans of accomplices thus did not
materialize
Warner confessed his guilt in writ
ing and made plea to the same eff
feet before Judge Stanton, waving
the usual legal rights of defense, but
split heel and a keen game warder
first ferreted the truth.
After the prisoner had started the
fire, he ran in the direction of the
woods near Lake Bemidji in a cir.
cuitous route to the city. He left
footprints in the snow and the heel
of one foot was split
Warner, after reaching Bemidji, tel
ephoned S. c. Bailey, the game war
den and his captor, and Bailey had
suspicious Immediately He induced
Warner to visit the scene of the fire
and then led him off to the woods,
where the footprints were unmarried
The footprints compared identically
with those of the culprit who fled
after his commission of arson and
Warner, on the first accusation of
guilt, made no pretenses of limo.
cence.
The signed confession of Warner
was received in Minneapolis by A. A.
D. Rain of the Shevlin-Carpenter
Lumber company, which controls the
Bemidji Lumber company.
Warner is So years old He served
time in the penitentiary before, once
for burglary and another time for
having shot man, and was released
in 1911.
