ANOTHER WONDERFUL ' CURE BY CUTICURA " No tongue Caa tell how I suffered for five years with Itching and bleed ing- eczema, until I was cured by the. Cuticnra Remedies, and I am so grate ful I want the world to know, for what helped me will help others. My body and face were covered with sore. One day" it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been aick aeveral times, but never in my life did I experience anch awful suffering aa with thia eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hana, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medicine without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that i try them. I began to feel better, after the first bath with Cuticnra Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment. I continued with the Soap and Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv ent, and conaider myself well..

MUSICAL "Parsifal" at tha Boyd. Tha matinee performance of ''Parsifal" but deepened the Impression made the even Ing before. The Savage production Is on of amazing excellence; full of dignity and beauty and with surprising care given to details. No little thing Is allowed to mar the symmetcry of the whole. The afternoon cast Included Florence Wlckham as Kundry. Both her voice and her manner of using it were a decided im provement upon Madame Mara. She has a sinuous, graceful body, which added to the picture, especially In the second act. In the first act her make-up, though wild and unkempt, was attractive, and during the third act, in her penitent's garb, she was most lovely; still beautiful, but with the light of an awakened soul In her face. Mr. Pennarlnl as Parsifal did some splen did singing; particularly at the end of the third act. Just before he elevates the grail He has an immensely powerful Voice, which lends Itself readily to dramatic work. He was a more Impetuous Parsifal than Mr. Maclennan, but not on the whole a better one. The role of Am for tea was taken by Mr, Blschoff. He, too, possesses a powerful voice, and he uses it well. His conception of the part I not as poetic as Mr. Keen- left's. It was more robust, and at times he seemed to forget that he was a wounded and suffering king. His singing In the tem ple scene was particularly fine. The Gurnemans of Mr. Cranston was thoroughly satisfying. He made consider able of a cut In the first act. . Mr. Parker Coombs made the most of the small part of Kllngsor. Titurel, the father of Amfortas, was sung by Mr. Robert Par ker; a difficult role, and very well done. with no departure from the pitch. Enough cannot be said In praise of th Flower Maidens and their singing. The chorus work all , through the . opera was exquisite. ' ...... Inquiry as to the whereabouts of Madame Klrby-Lume brought small response. It is said that she did not come to Omaha. Eh is the greatest' Kundry, whom Mr. Savage engaged. The disappointment in not hear Ing her is great. The cast on Wednesday evening was tha same as Tuesday, with Mr. Qrlm as conductor Instead of Mr. Roth well. At the matinee performance Mr. Stlx directed the orchestra. OUTPUT. OF," PACKING HOUSES Redaction la ; Offerings of Ho a a as Compared vrlfh th Pre vious Week. CINCINNATI.

CONFIDENT OF HEARING BEFORE SENATE Kasahrr of Telegraeaa Regard la Meaaara ReelTed hs- Rlaa frasa Cltlseas la Tarlaas Parts f tha Stat. LINCOLN, March . The exposure of the rallrond-lumber duelers-elevator com bination as the power behind the bridge bill, made by Robert Z. Drake during th last few day through the public press, seems to have struck a responsive chord out In the state among the people who have had to do with one or th other of th sssoclatlons which mad up-th on big combination. "I felt sure that very few people really knew what was behind 11. R. 265, the bridge bill." said Mr. Drake, "but I hardly ex pected such a lot of endorsements as I have received. Telegrams have been com ing in all day giving me encouragement and offers of assistance in th fight, which la now on and which will be carried on to a finish. "These people who have telegraphed ma realize that I am fighting for my very business existence Insofar ss Nebraska is concerned, ana they know the result also to the taxpayers of the various counties should such a vicious measure be enacted Into a law. "I want to extend to these men my grateful thanks for their messages and for their proffers of help. They speak sympathy and confidence and I do cer tainly appreciate the treatment the peo ple of the state, who know what would be the result should the Mil pass th senate, are giving me. Denied a Hearing. "I felt certain had the members of the house thoroughly understood what powers were behind the bill It would never have passed that branch of the legislature. We were denied a hearing before the house committee and of course we had no op portunity to explain the bill. Aa a last resort I have appealed to the press to show up the measure to the end that every member of the legislature who Is not Informed of Its intent will be Informed. . These telegrams which are printed below should open the eyes of the members. They are from men who are well In formed and tand well In their respective communities. "The signers of these telegrams ar not all of the people out In the state who are opposed to this bill by any means. If any member of the legislature desires to Inform himself of the sentiment I hope he will take occasion to write to some of his constituents who have seen the bill and secure his own information as to the feeling. Those fanners who have attempted to secure fair treatment from the elevator trust will furnish information aa to the character of this combination. AH I ask Is that members of the legislature who have not yet had an opportunity to voto on this measure will study It carefully. I believe when we go before the senate com mittee to discuss the bill It will be shown up in a different light from that in whloh It was looked upon In the house. "I was Informed today that the state engineer has said it would be Impossible for him to furnish the plans for all th bridges In the state for the appropriation made by the house and that he will go before the senate committee and ask not only for an Increased appropriation, but that he will also point out several other inconsistencies in the ,blll. ,..,. ' Telesrraroa from Over State. "For the benefit of the legislators who have had no time In which to see what Is the real public sentiment on this matter, i attach here a number of telegrams received by me today. I hope they will be read carefully: STANTON, Neb., March 16. R. Z. Drake, Lincoln, Neb. : The people of Btanton county are with you In your fight for your Individual rights. Keep it up. R. Y.
