Disease Reached a Fearful State
Pain and Itching were Terrible.
CURED AFTER OTHER
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED
" When I was small I was troubled
With eczema for ahout three months. It
was all over my face and covered nearly
all of my head. It reached such a stats
that It was just a large scab all owr,
and the pain and itching were terrible.
1 doctored with an able physician for
eome time and was then advised by him
to use the Cutioura Remedies which I
did and I waa entirely cured. I have
not been bothered with it since. I used
Cutioura Soap and Cutioura Ointment
but do not know exactly how much waa
used to complete the cure. I can safely
ay that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss

Three Days After Six
Months of Suffering.
I suffered fully ai. months. The

red pimples and it waa not long before
it waa all over my body, limbs, face,
and hands. It was so bad that I could
not rest night or day and during the

Dog-a Run Down Burglavrs.
HEBRON. Neb., Jan. 7. (Special.) By
the aid of the Beatrice bloodhounds the
merchants of Belvldere have succeeded In
tracing down the burglars who entered the
hardware store of O. W. Avard and the
office of the Belvidere Lumber company
last Thursday night. About tt worth of
cutlery and jewelry was taken from the
hardware store, but the thieves were not
so successful In the lumber office, where
they found the cash register empty, and
turning their attention to the safe opened
the outer door and whittled away the wood
casement of the cash drawer, then left
before they opened tho cash hox Inside,
which contained about HQ.' The crude work
on this Job plainly allowed the earmarks
of amateur crooks, and the merchants' sus
picions were confirmed when the hounds
followed the scent directly to the homes
of Will Loveland and Will Bailey In the
ede of town. The former was arrested
and a warrnrt Issued for Bailey, who had
gon to Kansas. I.oveland has since turned
slate's evidence, naming Will Bailey and
George Overmeier as his accomplices, also
directing the sheriff to the place where the
goods were concealed. Overmeier fled to
Kun.ns the day after the robber)-. Two dr
goods stores were robbed of several hundred
dollars worth of silk during December h
persons using skeleton keys and It Is
thought these losses may be traced to the
same source.

(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. 7 (Special. ) The warm
est meeting ever held by the State Rail
way commission was held this afternoon
when the resolution by Commissioner Wil
liams tame tip to he acted upon. This
resolution was In effect to call upon the
express companies to show cause January
IS why the express rates should not he
reduced 25 pr cent, the commissioner hold
ing that the Sibley a per cent reduction
law referred only to money and 40 per cent
of the merchandise shipped In the stHte.
The matter was finally referred to the at
torney general for an opinion as to whether
this Interpretation of the law is correct.
Commissioner Clarke and Chairman Win.
nett holding It la not. During the heated
discussion Commissioner Clarke accused
Commissioner Williams of misstating facts
and wrongfully Interpreting the statutes
and deceiving the public and throwing;
odium on the other commissioners. Com
mlssloner Williams retaliated by accusing
Clarke of holding a brief for the express
companies and In a lengthy stump speech
offered to be Judged by the people If his
position was not correct. Chairman Wlnnetl
chimed In at the last minute that If Com
mlssloner Williams so desired he could
himself file a complaint against the ex
press companies, Instead of pursuing the
course he had taken. To have adopted hli
motion he said would be to put the com
mission and the attorney general In a very
embarrassing as well as Inconsistent atti
tude. Inasmuch as In the cases now pending
In which the validity of the Sibley law la
the stake, the attorney general and the
commission Is holding that the law cover
merchandise as Interpreted by the com
mission and not by the express companies.
To sdopt the Williams motion would be to
set aside that contention and admit thai
the petition of the atorney general and
commission Is wrong.
What the Difference Is.
Shorn of the personalities the discussion
was whether the commission was to take
the merchandise classification aa made by
the express companies or to use the word
In Its general sense as Interpreted by the
commission. Commissioner Williams con
tended that the classification of merchan
dise as fixed by the express companies
had to be used, while Commissioner Clarke
contended that the commission Itself could
Interpret the law and that the legislature
In passing the bill had not considered the
classification of the express companies,
but that the members In voting for the
bill did so with the thought that the rates
were being reduced 25 per cent on all mer
chandise not expressly exempted, such as
poultry, cream and butter. Mr. Clarke also
said the Williams motion has misstated
the law when he said money was Included
In the reductions made by the Sibley law.
The storm began when Commissioner
Williams' motion to hold open meetings
was taken up. All three commissioner's
had different Ideas on how to formulate
this rule and nothing was done. ' Then
came the fireworks. During the discussion
of the Sibley InW Williams 'walked the
floor during the Clarke speech and when
Williams was speaking Clarke finally be
gan the same stunt. After It was all over
and the stenographer had 'taken all the
speeches the commission settled down to
routine work as though nothing had hap
pened. Ilnrtlnarlon F.vsries Order.
What Is declared by members of the
State Railway commission to be a viola
tion, at least, of the spirit of the Injunc
tion granted several weeks ago by Judge
Munfc-er against the Burlington and other
railroads to prevent their raising- their
reconsignment churges appears in the
schedule of the Burlington Just filed with
the state commission.
The Injunction is referred to In the
schedule and the statement is further made
that the Burlington refers only to the coal
dealers from Omaha and other Nebraska
cities who were complainants In the case.
The railroad holds that It Is permitted to
make the Increased charges against all
other shippers, except those who appeared
In the case. This Is declared by the com
missioners to be an evasion of the spirit
of the law arid if carried out will make It
necessary for every shipper who objects
to paying the Increased charge, to go Into
court and secure an injunction.
The schedule refers to an injunction Is
sued by Judge Hanford of the federal
court for the state of Washington en
joining the Increase In rates on lumber.
After the Injunction was Issued the rail
roads refused to Issue receipts In full on
freight bills affected by the Injunction, but
each receipt was endorsed "on payment of
account."
Kipress Companies Lose First Round.
In county court here today Ralph Breck
enrldge of Omaha, appearing for the Adams
Express company In the suit brought by
County Attorney Tyrrell to collect penalties
for failure to give certain Information to
the Hallway commission, made an attack
on the validity of the summons. He con
tended the case was not in the nature of a
criminal proceeding, but was a civil pro
ceeding and the summons as Issued was not
sufficient. County Judge Cosgrove over
ruled the motion to quash the summons
and gave the company until February 1 to
file a demurrer. '
Offer to Nettle Boyd County Cases.
Alexander Blair, one of the original Boyd
county settlers, whose litigation with the
state over educational lands has been on
for several years appeared before the
State Board of Educational Ijinds this
morning and received an offer from the
board that if he would pay the value of
the land according to the appraisement
made two years ago, the state would give
him title to It. The same proposition will
be made to the other settlers and If It Is
accepted It will wind up the case.
Following the price of the land sold

NO one need be barred from owning an Edison
Phonograph because he has not the entire
purchase money in hand at once. Nearly every dealer
in every town can make an arrangement whereby,
after paying a small amount of money, you can have
the Phonograph delivered at once-and the proper
number of records, and so r
begin to enjoy it at once
paying the rest in easy instalments. It requires almost
no self-denial on your part to own a Phonograph,
and it will more than make up its cost to you. The
amount of the instalments will be less than you
pay for an evening's entertainment at the theatre.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
Catalogue and
the railroad last week the train was held
on a siding to wait for an overdue passen
ger going west. Falling Into conversation
with three fellow passengers who were
stretching their legs, I found the older man
was a former lowan, and the other two,
young fellows, were Iowa boys seeking lo
cations In Nebraska. The older man opined
he used to like lows, but couldn't live
there now, as this state agreed with him
evr so much better. Then one of the
young chaps spoke up, 'Well, we're from
Iowa, too; but In the last two weeks we
have been looking around we've kind o'
fell In love with Nebraska." And tho hoy
suld It so modestly and sincerely, as If lis
weie speaking of falling In love with some
nice girl.
"Now, In the line of that kind of adver
tising, I fcnow a German newcomer who
farms extensively, puts In sll the work he
thinks will bring results, and is getting
rich steadily. Ho writes, 'I find tills to
be a fine stock country; worlds of hay
and pastuies for the stock,' which Is a
side linu with him largely. He Is going
Into the cultivation of trees, too, and is
studying the subject so he will know what
ho Is doing. He will he rich and 'happy
much more surely than the man In the
mosipiiio bed down In Mexico or Texas,
and in tho meantime will not be marooned,
but enjoying the society of the finest
neighbors in the west. Then I know an
Irishman, from the west coast of Ireland,
where Cromwell sent untamables and where
the principal crop Is opposition to English
rule. He was a common laborer, but a
strong and willing man. He hss a home
In the broadest sense In Custer county,
where his family will thrive for genera
tions. He has a bank account, too, and
wherever he goes he boosts for Nebraska
with the enthusiasm characteristic of the
true Milesian. He'll fight for Nebraska,
If need lie, and he's worth a ton of litera
ture wherever he takes his 180 pounds of
sturdy manhood. These two sre repre
sentative of thousands of thriving and sat
isfied men who have come here within the
last decade with not much else than two
good hands and a desire to be somebody.
