Doctors Useless.
CURED BY CUTICURA
.Blessed Relief After First Application and First
Real Sleep in Weeks Facts of This Won
derful Cure by Cuticura Vouched for by
Mrs. Hunt's Neighbors.
"Words cannot describe the terrible Kczema I suffered with
It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my
whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot
I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The
pain and agony I endured seemed
more than I could bear.
"Blood and pus oozed from the
great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails, and nearly all over
my body. Jly ears were so crusted
and swollen I was afraid they would
break off. Every hair in my head
fell out. I could not sit down, tor
my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry
out from the pain.
"My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse.
My condition was awful. 1 did not
think I could live, and wanted
death to come and end my frightful
sufferings. ,
"In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the
Cuticura Kemedies. I said I would, but had no hope of recovery
Hut oh, what blessed relief I experienced after applying Cuticura
Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought
me the first real sleep I had had in weeks. It was as grateful as
ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and
Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took the
I'esolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped runing,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then
the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was com
pletely cured. Hut I kept on taking the Cuticura Hemedies, as
they did me so much good I did not want to stop them.
"Mv cure was so wonderful I thought I would write you about
it. I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I Avish I could tell everybody
who has Kczema to use Cuticura. My condition was so terrible that
what cured me cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful disease.
If any one doubts the truth of this letter, tell them to write to me.

J. W. McGinnlss of Boise City, Idaho,
ho left his home to go to Chicago to get
money to exploit an irrigation ditch gate,
met at North Platte an Englishman named
George D. Simpson, who boarded the train
there to go to Pittsburg, Pa., to get mar
ried, and thereby hangs a talo that reached
s climax in the Omaha police station one
fternoon during last week, when Simpson,
ith excitement agitating every muscle of
his six-feet-two body, glared at little Mc-
Ulnnlss and said to Captain Mostyn:
"Here, sir, is a dangerous man, a mur-
erer, a self-confessed murderer, and you
ad better lock him up before he murders
me for bringing hint to the police."
Do you mean me, you blathering ijit?"
snorted McGinnlss, glaring up at Simpson
with an ominous glitter in his eyes as he
realized that he was in the police station
and was being charged with murder.
"Yes, I mean you, and I guess I got you
to give yourself away In fine style, my
hearty. You didn't know that you were
talking to an expert In crime. I have made
a study of the subject," answered Simp
son, and he glared back at the 111 tie man.
Well, for a blooming tenderfoot" be
gan McGinnlss, but Captain Mostyn cut the
controversy and interchange of compli
ments short by taking Simpson into his
piivate office and there asked him to un
bosom himself of the whole affair.
Ktory Told by Simpson.
"It was this way," began Simpson.
When I got on the car at North Platte I
had the luck to sit down along with this
man. My friends, knowing that I was
starting for Pittsburg, Pa., to get married,
gave me a cordial sendoff; in fact, several
and repeated sendoffs. Then they filled my
pockets Willi samples of North Platte's
best. While I was sampling one of these
offerings of good nature this man McGin
nlss said that he did not like to butt In
on a stranger, but the sight of that there
good liquor Just couldn't be resisted. I
gave him a look and saw that he had a
wild look In his eye and I had my sus
picions. I ought to say that I have made
criminals a study and I read crime In
that man's eye. Then an Idea struck me.
Thinks I, you are a bad man, meaning Mc
Ginnlss, and I am going to get at what's
troubling you.
"So I gave him a drink and. of course,
I took one myself to throw him off his
guard. It worked Hne. He still looked
thirsty and I pulled the bottle and told
Mm not to be afraid of the liquor, as It
was North Platte's best, and that I ought
to know, as I had been drinking a lot of
It talking over old times. Then you ought
to have seen him hold thnt bottle over
ills mouth. 'So. so,' I said to myself, 'I
will have you in a minute or my name's
not Simpson.' Then for fear he might get
suspicious I took another drink myself. He
wanted to tell ma about himself then, he
was feeling so good, hut I wanted him not
to think that I was pumping him, so I
Insisted that I wanted to tell him some
of my own experiences first. Then I told
him that I had had some mighty hard luck
In Canada a good many years ago, before
I made up my mind that it was not good
for me to drink so much. '
ew Line of Work.
"I told him that during a drinking spell
I had done something that sent me to
the penitentiary, tfhere I had served a
term and that, although I always consid
ered myself an ex-convict, I had come
west to again build up my fortunes, and
that after years of hard work I had made
a wad of money and was going hack east
to marry the sweetheart of my young
days. Then we took another drink, for he
seemed to be Just bursting to tell me
something about himself. Then I knew I
had him, Plr, and I gave him another
drink and told him any man could do as
I had done. That was to start him, you
see. Well, sir, he leaned close to me and
told mo that he had Just killed two peo
ple. His wife had gone wrong and he had
found a chnnce to deal out true western
Justice and he simply 'wiped them both
off the plains," he said. He said he was
going to Chicago until the affair blew over.
Then I began to scheme how I could land
him. I told him that I supposed he had
to start In a hurry and he admitted It. I
Ingeniously got him to admit that he was
hard up, and In need of money, and then
he saw that I felt for him and he tried
to borrow $3 from me. We were near
Omaha by this time and I saw how the
thing could be done. I told him that I
knew a man In Omaha who would let him
have the money on my say bo, and we
would get off there and find him. He Just
Jumped at this, and we took nnother drink
together. We left the train and he never
suspected my trick until I landed him here
and told you to arrest him. Oh, he is a
slick one. I suppose there will be a big
reward offered for him."
Captain Mostyn then said he would talk
with McGinnlss. He snw by this time how
the land lay, hut lie thought McGinnlss
had a right to be heard.
McGlnnl Gives Ills Version.
"Now what do you think of thnt tender
foot," began McGinnlss. "Ho got on the
train at North Platte all light and ho
was a very drunk man then, and I did
want a drink awful bad. You see, I left
Boise with a fair supply of liquor, but
the mistake I made was that I carried
most of It inside of me. When the train
reached North Platte, and this Idiot got
on with a big supply of what I wanted,
you Just bet I began to do some scheming
to tap his barrel. He acted fair with his
liquor all right, and between drinks he
told me some of the biggest stories I bad
heard for some time, and thinks I, my
boy, I have a few wild tales of my own
that are craving for an audience. So I
let loose, and maybe they were not stiff
ones, I noticed he was watching me nml
when he asked me If I had any guns with
me he seemed relieved when I told him I
had left them at home. He kept shoving
his bottles at me and I felt I was earning
all I got. We sampled them frequently
and wanting to see Just what kind of a
plug he was, I asked , him in an offhand
way to lend me J5 until we got to Chi
cago, where I am going to raise money
for a patent ditch gate. He told me ho
would get It from a friend of his In
Omaha, and when wo' got off. he steered
me Into the hnnds of the police and gave
you one of my stories as a fact."
Mostyn lleuls the llreaeh.
Captain Mostyn then brought the men
together and In a few minutes he con
vinced them that probably they could come
to an understanding by having a heart to
heart talk.
"You fellows were each trying to tell
the biggest story." said Captain Mostyn.
"and it seems to be a standoff. Both of
