SORES AND
ULCERS.
Sores aud Ulcers never become chronic
unlets the blood b in joor condition is
sluggish, weale and unable to throw off
the poisons that accumulate in it The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood hoa been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem.' S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health atid removing from
JlSl A CONSTANT DRAIN
effetematter. UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grovr worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble, b. S. S. does, and no matter
ihow apparently hopeless your condition,
(evcn though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
inecessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.

mandlng officers that In case the Spanish
ships camo out he wished to concentrate
the batteries of all our ships on a portion
of those of tho enemy. This wan not ex
plained as a tactical concentration of our
whole force on a part of the enemy, but as
a division of our whole fire on several of
tho enemy's ships, During the tlmo tho
commanding olTlcers were on board the flag
ship Captain Evans asked Commodore
Schley If it were his Intention to steam at
tho enemy's ships In case they should start
to come out. Commodore Schley answered:
'Certainly,' nnd added words Indicative of
his Intention to attack them ns they came
out of the narrow defile."
"I recollect It perfectly."
"Is that a correct statement?"
"That Is correct."
"So there was a plan of battle arranged
by Coramodoro Schley, was there not?"
"There Is nothing there to Indicate It
from what you have read."
"Was not that the same order that was
given by the commandcr-ln-chlcf, substan
tially: 'Close In toward harbor entrance
and attack them?" "
"You have not read anything about In
dicating any plan of battle"
Mr. Rayner And added the words (read
ing) "Indicative of his Intention to attack
them as tboy camo out."
lllnTerenee HeRnrdlnar Time.
"I want to read you two reports your re
port of tho engagement of the Spanish
squadron and I would llko you to tell me
whether there Is any conflict botwoen them,
and if there Is which one of these state
ments In your Judgment now Is correct.
(Reading) 'After having passed at 10:33
Oquendo and Maria Teresa, on fire and
ashore, this vessel continued to chase and
fire upon tho Vlscaya until 10:36. when sig
nal to cease firing wns sounded on board,
It having been discovered that Vlscnya
hnd struck Its colors. That was at 10:30
In your report. Now I want to rend from
tho report of tho commander-ln-chlof
(rending): 'The Vlscaya was still under tho,
flro of tho leading vessels, tho Cristobal
Colon hnd drawn ahead, lending the chase,'
and soon passed beyond tho rango of the
guns of the leading American ships.
Vlscaya wus soon set on flro and nt ll:l
It turned In shore and wns beached at Aser
raderos, Pfteon miles from Santiago, burn
ing fiercely, etc' "
"I hnvo no doubt you read It correctly."
"Which Is correct? Is thoro a conflict be
tween the commander-in-chief nt the time
Vlscaya went ashore nnd your report,
yours nt 10:36 and bis at 11:15, It becomes
n material point to us which ono of these
specifications Is correct."
"The tlmo given In that report of mine
was furnished by the nnvlgator and oxecu
tlvo ofllcer of tho ships. I, of course, did
not take tho time."
Admiral Evans was then excused nnd Mr.
Thomas M. Dlenalde, a newspaper corre
spondent, who wns on bonrd Texas during
the Santiago campaign, was called.
.evrnpaper Man Called,
Mr. Dlenatdo said that when tho battle
off Santiago began ho had been In the room
of the Junior officers of the ship and had
Immediately gone on the bridge with Cap
tain Philip, remaining thero until the cap
tain had gone to the lower bridge with him.
Thore he had remained until the chase of
Colon began. He had at tho time made
notes of the battle and these he read.
"I havo a note made at 9:50 In quotation
marks: 'Stop both engines, helm bard star
board,' "
"Who gave that order?"
"Captain Thlllp."
"Whcro was Drooklyn when that order
was given?"
"I presume Brooklyn was In front of
Texas. I snw It n moment later."
Mr. Hanna: "Did you make any entry at
the time with respect to the passing of
Brooklyn hsfore Texas?"
"Yes, the next line hero (reads), 'It was
Brooklyn, close shave' "
"Could It havo been half a mile away?"
"I should think not, not anything like It.
I would not suppose It was a quarter of a
mile when I saw It. I was standing Just
aft of the conning tower by the entrance
It was In that way I heard these orders
given nnd I wrote them down as Captain
Philip gave them. I went around to the
Ice sldo of tho conning tower to find out
why we stopped. He (Captain Philip) waved
his hand toward Brooklyn nnd I saw It. He
eald: 'Look at that fellow going out to
sea.' "
Admiral Dowey "Did you hear Captain
Philip give any orders to back the engines?"
"No, sir, I don't remember If I did. I
turned away almost Immediately.
Mr. Dlenatdo said In response to ques
tions, that ho had an the day of the battle
written a report of the battle, but that
thesa facts had not been given because
Captain Philip had asked him to "make It
nice for everybody" and this had been nls
own Inclination. He was then excused
for the day and asked to bring his nows
paper report of the engagement into court
tomorrow.
Captain Sluslire Called.
Captain Charles D. Slgsbee, who com
manded the scout ship St. Paul during the
Spanish war, was next called.
He was asked If he had expressed
his belief to Commodore Schley that Ce
vcra's fleet was not in the harbor as re
ported later by Commodore Scbloy. A con
trovers arose over tho admlsslbllty of the
question anil the court took a recess for
luncheon before receiving the reply of the
witness.
Quote Schley's llepnrt.
When the Schley court reconvened after
luncheon, Captain Slgsbee returned to the
stand,
Mr. Hanna repeated his question, asked
before recess, quoting from Admiral Schley's
report of February 18, 1899. the sentence
reading: "After having been assured bv
Slgsbee that ho did not believe the Spanish
fleet was In Santiago."
Witness replied: "I stated that we had
seen nothing of tho Spanish fleet. I mav
have stated that I knew nothing positively
or absolutely about Its movements, but I
recited certain events to show that thero
was a probability of the fleet bolng In San
tiago nt that time.
Mr. Hanna The portion of the qucttlon
to which I should like to have you give
an explicit nnswer Is whetbor you assured
Commodoro Schley that you believed the
Spanish fleet was not In Santiago.
"I did not say that I 'believed It was not
there;' I sold I had not seen It."
Wan DoIiik IIIkIiI.
Mr, Hnnna I wish to ask your attention
to tl!o clause: "Do as you nro doing and
you will do rlglfi." What was the flying
tquadron doing at the time you wrote that
letter?
"That was based on the tenor of the cl
ner telegrams i found at The Mole from
tho commandcr-ln-chlcf and from the Navv
department, urging that the SpauUh squad
ron be held and that every effort be made
to coal ships. At that time the flying
squadron was off Santiago, with tho Inten
tion, "so far as I know, of staying and I
also believed It was the Intention of Com
modore Schley to coal his ships off that
port, I left Santiago on the morning of the
day on which that letter was written. At
that time tho weather was very flno and
I had twice urged on Commodoro Schley the
Importance of taking advantage of that par
ticular kind of weather, stating that It was
better than anything we had had during
my stay off tho port."
Captain Slgsbee also said that when he
had boarded Brooklyn on May 26 Com
modore Schley had told him that ho was
bound for Key West for coal.
Mr. Rayner then questioned the witness,
bringing out the statement that the purpose
of his ships being sent to the vicinity of
Santlngo wns to locate the Spanish fleet.
Ho said that he had first seen the Spanish
vessels In the harbor nt Santiago, but that
when he reported tho fact ho found tho
squadron had already made the discovery.
Snnipson'M A'aine llnrreit,
Mr. Rayner attempted to quote a state
ment from Admiral Sampson to the effect
that Captain Slgsbee had said that on May
19 tho flying squadron was blockndlng
Santiago twentv-flvn miles nut nt .n
objection was made to bringing Admiral
srampson in sna air. liayncr naked Captain
Slgsbee whether he had made that
to anyone at that date. Tho witness replied
in me negative.
In reply to a nuestlon ns tn th xnnftuinn
or tne wcatner nt tne tlmo he was at San
tiago. Captain Slgsbee said: "Dnrlnfr n.
2ith. 25th and 28th of May the weather was
unsettled; tho movements had been hin
dered. There wne more or less rain and
heavy sea on thoso days."
tub court asked Captain Slgsbeo:
"Did Cantnln Wise cnmmiintrnto tn .-.,.

'I remember no dlsnatch

able throughout the central valleys, lake
region, middle Atlantic states and New
England nnd no damaging frosts occurred
In these districts. Heavy rains In the up
per Missouri valley nnd Minnesota Inter
fered with farm work and caused somo
damago to hay nnd stacked grain In
South Dakota nnd Nebraska. Uxcesslvo
rains also Interfered with farm work In
portions of tho south Atlnntlc nnd Kast
Oulf states. Rnln Is generally needed In
Illinois, Indiana and southern Michigan, to
put tho soil In condition for plowing nnd
fall seeding and also over tbo greater part
of Texas for pastures nml truck farms. On
tho north Pacific coast the week has been
cool and wet, with damaging frosts In
Oregon nnd Washington. Injurious frosts
occurred over tho middle Rocky mountain
districts.
The week has been favorable for maturing
and gathering corn and reports from the
principal corn states Indicate that a much
larger ncreago than usual at this date has
been cut. The crop Is now practically safo
from frost lu all districts.
In the Cotton nelt.
The weather conditions In tho cotton belt
havo been very favorable for picking, ex
cept over portions of Ocorgla, Florida and
North Carolina, where this work hns been
retarded to somo extent by rains of tho
Inttcr pnrt of the week. Picking has
progressed rapidly lu the central nnd west
ern districts, where cotton has opened rap
Idly, tho bulk of the crop being gathered
In somo districts. Over tho eastern por
tion of tho cotton belt tho low tempera
tures of the week were not favorable for
tho development of the top crop nnd heavy
rains havo damaged tho staple In portions
of North Carolina, Georgia nnd Florida,
whllo tho sea Island crop of South Carolina
Buffered from drouth. In TcxnB Into cot
ton Is bclug damaged by Insects nnd the
outlook for top crop Is poor.
Only n smnll part of tho tobacco crop,
and thnt In Kentucky nnd Tennessee, re
mains unhoused. Tho reports generally In
dicate thnt this crop hns been secured In
satisfactory condition. In Kansas and por
tions of Missouri. Ark.msns, Illinois and
West Virginia, more particularly lu the
first named state, tho reports respecting
npples are cncouraglns. but no Improve
ment Is reported from other districts.
Plowing nnd needing havo progressed
favorably In nearly nil districts nnd tho
early-sown wheat In tho states of tho lower
Missouri valley hns como up In excellent
condition. In southern Michigan nnd por
tions of tho Oho and Mississippi valleys,
however, plowing nnd seeding have been
delayed on nccnunt of the dry condition
of the soil nnd In Ohio seeding has been
purposely delayed on account of tho Hes
sian fly.

.Why shouldn't a woman ?
The best household tool
known is Fels-Naptha soap.
With it the drudgery of
clothes-washing and house
cleaning is not half as much
as usual, because there's no

If upon thorough trial of
