extra levy for tho Stato Agricultural col
lege. In tho county levy no changes were made
from last year for the county general, poor,

MicrllT'A Feci. Full Short.
Tho ruport of tho commlttco on officers'
accounts does not look very protnlslug for
Sheriff Cousin's four deputies and the
prospects for receiving anywhero near
their full salaries are far from bright.
Tho four deputies, J, C. Haker, W. A.
(Ironoweg, 12. Canning nnd John Long, thn
latter tho deputy nt Avoca, wero to re
ceive $100 a month each provided tho fees
of tho olllco wero sulllclunt. According
to tho report of tho committee mado yes
terday to tho board tho fees uro entirely
lusufllctent to pay theso salaries and more
than this tho report shows that tho dep
uties have drann more salary In four
months than tho fees show they are en
titled to In six months. For tho first ulx
mouths of this year tho total tees, as
shown by tho sheriff's books, amounted to
(2,401.34. Out of this Sheriff Cousins ro
talncd $1,230 as his salary for that pe
riod, leaving $1,151.34 to be divided among
his four deputies. This would glvo each
deputy $287.83 for tho six months. Ths
books of tho county auditor, show, how
over, thut during tho first four months of
tho year each deputy received $333.33, or
$45.13 moro than nccordlng to tho nmount
of fees ho would have been entitled to re
ceive for tho six months. Action on tho
report was postponed until the session
today.
Two of tho deputies were appointed court
bailiffs by Judge Macy for this term of
district court and as such they will bo
entitled to draw $2 a day while court lasto.
This will be paid by tho county nnd not
from tho fees of tho sheriff's ofllco. This,
It Is expected, will rultevo tho situation
somewhat nnd enablo tho other deputies
to securo their full pay from tho receipts
of tho ofllce.

Supervlror Matthews reported that tho city
council had mado a proposition regarding tho
expendlturo of tho portion of tho county
road fund raised from tuo lovy of tho tax
within tho city limits. Ho said tho city
would bo willing to take CO per ccut of tho
fund to expend as It desired, leaving 40
per cent for the county board to spend under
Its direction. Mayor Jennings nnd City So
Ilcltor Wndsworth appeared beforo tho board
on behalf of thef proposition, but nftcr some
discussion It was decided to postpono action
until today. This division of tho road fund,
ns rnlscil from taxation within the city
limits, Is tho samo ns wns ngrecd upon last
year between the city council und tho
county supervisors. Tlu law gives tho city
tho right to direct where this money shall
bo spent, but provides that tho work shall
bo dnno by tho county. In order to secure
complete control of a portion of tho monoy
tho city Is willing to forego tho balance.
Tho umount nf tho road fund raised by taxa
tion In tho city Is about $3,300.

CUMMINS NOT A CANDIDATE
Withdraws from tho Rn.ro in Trivor of

GIVES THREE REASONS FOR HIS ACTION

llini' .shITim-ciI Disruption,
DISS MOINKS, Sept. C (Special Tele
gram.) Hon. A. H. Cummins will not bo
a candidate for I'nlted Slates senator
ngalnst Senator Jonathan P. Dolllver wheu
tho lnlter's short term expires nud ho
comes up beforo tho legislature for elec
tion. Mr. Cummins has todny withdraw u
fiom tho raro In favor of Senator DoIlltr
In order that the Cummins supporters of
tho Tenth district, who nro nlso the Dolll
ver men of tho Tenth, may bo frco to sup
port their homo candidate.
Tho action Is considered one of the moot
honorable and sclf-sacrlflcIng movoj ever
mndo In lown politics. Men well Informed
ns regards tho senatorial situation in the.
Tenth district stato that If Cummins had
remained a candldato nnd tho Tenth 0ls
trlct had been called upon to dec Ida be
tween Cummins nnd Dolllver that n larger
number would havo said "stand by Cum
mins." Tho result would havo been a teirlblo
disruption In tho republican ranks, espe
cially In the Tenth district, and might havo
(.erlously Injured tho party nt tho polls this
fall. It was because of this primarily that
Cummins withdrew. Mr. Cummins gives
threo reasons for hl3 withdrawal. Tho first
Is that referred to nbove. The second is
that If Mr. Cummins stayed In tho rnco
his opponents would undoubtedly havo nt
tempted to defeat tho Titus amendment,
which comes up nt the polls this fnll. and
tho pnssago of which will bring tho Twenty
eighth genornl assembly together again for
tho election of a I'nlted States senator. As
tho present leglslaturo Is friendly to Mr.
Cummins his opponents would natutnlly
wish that another body of men should dc
tido tho contest. Mr. Cummins' third rea
son 13 that ho may havo added tlmo to
attend to nn Increnslng Icgnl practice. Mr.
Cummins mado tho following statement.
A nnoiiiirrinrnl to I'nbllr.
To My Republican Friends: Imme
diately after the appointment ()f Mr Dol
llver to llll the vae.iuey c.iu-ed hv "ie
dentil of Senator Gear, I wni besieged by
reporters wanting to know whether 1
would be n cnndldnto for the otllce be
foro th republican cuucui ,f tbo tenrr.il
assembly. Thinking It was po.lhle for
mo to defer a decNInn upon the question
until near the tlmo of meeting of the leg
islature I replied In substance that 1 mlclit
be n randldato nnd It l now generally be
lieved that L will contest Mr. Dolllvr's
election.
My experience In the short period slnee
the nppntiitnu tit has ronvlnred me that It
I not prartlenblo to pustpone mv mucin
slon. I nrn warned by events that hne
already occurred that if there Is t.i bo 11
contest between Mr. Dolllver nnd mvself
It must begin now: Indeed, thnt It has al
ready begun. I'nder the condition my
decision Is easily mado and I desire to s:iy
to tho men who hnvu so loyally and tin
selllshly supported me tint I nm not a
candidate. I cannot say this to nil of you
by a personal communication and therc
foro ndopt the only other means that can
bo used for the purpose.
Many things havo combined to Impel me
to tho conclusion Just announced. I had
hoped that following the uppnintment there
would bo a period of absolute penco and
nulet upon thn oubject and that wo might
forget, for a time, nt least, that there had
been n controversy between Senator Gear
nnu myseit. 1110 nnpo was not well
founded and T 11m not wilting that my am
bition shall db'turb tho party lu the slight
est degreo during the Important campaign
now In progress. I am told that If It is
understood that I nm 11 candidate It will
nffert tho vote upon the constitutional
amendment, to be toibmltted nt the comb g
election, and I cannot permit my senato
rial aspirations lo In come nn nbstnrle In
the way of a measure ho wise and salutary.
A limit reason. Influential In my determina
tion, Is that my business Imperatively de
mands my tlmo nnd strength and I rannot
carry on a controversy that will ron.sutne
both during tho long Interval that must
elapie. between the present time und the
meeting of tho general assembly Willi
unbounded gratitude for vour unwavering,
unequaled devotion In the long, thou It
unsuccessful light, I am, yours, f.iithfully,

Cases In Dlstrlet I mil t.
JI5FFKRSON, In.. Sept. (Speelnl )
Tho present term of tho district court for
Greeno county Is practically without legal
business of Importauce. The large crop of
real estate men, the direct result of ad
vancing prices of farm lands, has produced
quite a portion of tho lltlgnllon nt this
term. The real estate men list every piece
of property upon which the owner will set
nny price, the current rato for making n
snlo being $1 per acre. Tho litigation grows
out of tho participation of the owners In
deals nnd tho claim, when the ngent de
mands his $1 per ncre, that tho owner
himself negotiated tho transaction. The
contract Is plain and clear, yet In a ma
jority of cases the Jury has found for the
defendant nnd ngalnst the agent. The
case of Arndt ngalnst McKeon Is assigned
for tomorrow. McKeon rented his farm to
Arndt for n number of years. At tho end
of the first year It Is nlleged that McKeon
wns dissatisfied with Arndt nnd tho rela
tions between the men beennio strnlncd
Finally, upon nn occasion when McKeon
was visiting tho place nnd warm words
had been uttered, diplomatic relations
wero broken off. McKeon says Arndt
started nfter him with a pitchfork nnd
threatened him. Arndt says ho merely
told McKeon thnt ho would go nfter him
with tho pitchfork, which he held In his
hand, If McKeon did not get off tho place
McKeon brought suit In the Justice court,
charging Arndt with assault with Intent
to do great bodily harm, and Arndt turned
around nnd sued McKeon In the district
court for mnlprosecutlon.

Eczema is caused by nn acid humor in
thu blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great ledness and in
Humiliation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry und fissured. Kczema in nny
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
nlmost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do nny real good, for as
long ns the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated,
