Complete tranquility prevails in the city at the present moment, but anxious looks are cast in the direction of the Yildiz because of the refusal of part of its garrison to submit. General! Schefket is concentrating large forces near this point. Troops have been pouring in since noon and several bat teries have been planted on the neigh boring heights.

This Question Is Important In Painting a House or Other Building. A proper color scheme is extremely Important in painting a . house.

Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did Not Heal Suffered 3 Years. Tortures Yield to Cuticura. As to Physical Valuation. The railway commission will soon receive visits from engineers who are willing to manage the work of valuing the physical property of the railroads of Nebraska. One applicant has ex pressed a willingness to accept $50 a day, but he desires to limit his ser vices to a short period and to give half of his time to the work after he gets his force organized. This week M. E. Cooley, dean of the engineering department of the University of Michi gan, will call to confer with the rail way commission. He will be accom panied by T. H. Hinchman and Harry E. Riggs. the latter at Tolsdo, O. Henry Rohrer of St Louis will arrive Wednesday, J. W. Rinehardt of New- York will come Tuesday and Dwight C. Morgan, who is still at work on the same kind of work in Minnesota, will visit the commission later. Some engineers believe the work can be done in Nebraska for $9 or $10 a mile. The cost in other states has been as high at $13 a mile. The com mission has $40,000 to expend for this purpose. Chairman Clarke said that the commission has seen a dispatch in the newspapers saying the interstate commerce commission intended to value railroad property in the Spokane rate case. As this case involves the Union Pacific, Great Northern, North ern Pacific and the Burlington, the Nebraska commission has written the Interstate commission that it desires to co-operate with that body. If this can be done the state commission may save some of the appropriation made by the last legislature. "Little black swellings , were scat tered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so pain ful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well. I continued until I had used three sets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8, 1908." I Potter Drag a Cbem. Corp, Solo Props.. Boaton.

Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public."
