Cured by CTJTICURA. My child's disease, which was the worst kind of Eczema, started on one cheek like a ringworm, it spread ana ltcneu so toe poor little fellow had no peace night or day. Then it started on the other cheek and chin, nntil all were raw as a piece of beef steak, like a burn where you would rub off the skin, and bloody water oozed out con stantly. His sufferings were terrible. I tied bis hands that he would not scratch, then he would rub his poor little cheeks on his shoulders to relieve the intense itching. I bad as good a doctor as was in Philadelphia, but be failed to relieve him. I read of the Cuticdba Remedies, and at once purchased them. Strange to say, that very night he retted without scratching his face, and from that on he improved and toon mat tntirelycvrerl. I would like anyone suffering from this terrible disease to see my boy now; his complexion is as clear and smooth as can be. This is an unso licited testimonial, and every word is true.

Chicago, June 4. Several months ago Attorney-General Maloney began quo warranto proceedings against the Pullman Palace Car Company, lor the purpose of taking away the company's charter and terminating its corporate existence. In his information the attorney-general set up that the company "had violated its charter by buying real estate and building the town of Pullman, by erecting and operating the Pullman building in this city, by man ufacturmg brick, and in other ways. Judge Baker handed down a decision today favorable to the company and all its interests, but one. The opinion is a long and exhaustive one, fully considering each of the usur pations charged and discussing the law applicable to them. He lays down that under its implied powers, the company had full authority to do all that it was claimed that it had done, except as to the stock in a small subsidy company, As to the fundamental question of the right of the company to build and own the town of Pullman, for the purpose for which it was built and owned, the position of the company was fully sus tained in every particular. The decision is regarded by the Pull man officials as a very important vic tory for the company, and a complete justification of its action in the estab lishment and ownership of the well- known town which bears the name of its founder. Incidentally, Judge Baker has in structed that the company exceeded the power granted by its charter in buy ing twenty-three acres of land which it has not used in its business. The com pany, however, had and has the right, Judge Baker decided, to construct the big office building at Adams street and Michigan avenue; to sell liquor to its patrons in dining-cars; to supply water and gas to its tenants in the towns of Pullman; to build houses and rent them to its employes; to erect churches and sohool- buildings in Pullman and to own land for switching and car pur poses. The ruling of the court does not affect the company to any material ex tent. The interests touched are said to be worth no more than $50,000, which is an insignificant sum to a cor poration with $36,000,000 capital and $25,555,000 surplus. The decision is, in effect, a declara tion that a corporation may engage in any business which may be considered an advantageous or necessary adjunct to the business specifically set out in its charter, without violating the law or exceeding its corporate powers. Thus the court holds that the company had the right to erect an office build ing which would be large enough to accommodate its business for years to come, no matter how considerably the increase, and had the right to rent in the meantime such portions of the building as were not required for the oompany's own use. The sale of liq uor in the dining-cars was declared to be a desirable and necessary accommo dation for the comfort and convenience of persons traveling in the cars. The construction of the town of Pullman is said to be a part of a general plan of operations implied in the company charter, and therefore falls within the power and province of the corporation. The case will be taken to the Illinois supreme court. If that tribunal sus tains Judge Baker the company ' will go on with its business undisturbed, and with its methods of business prao tioally unchanged by the suit of the attorney-general. - New Behring Sea Bill. Washington, June 4. It is stated at the British embassy that the new Behr- ing sea bill, whioh Sir Edward Gray announced in the house of commons yesterday, is on perfecting the phrase ology of the present act Without al tering or extending the substantial fea tures of the present act, it will not, it is said, enlarge the zone or extend the olosed season, as they are fixed by the Paris award, and are not subject to va riety until a new award is made. Of this, both governments seem to agree, however, that the protected zone should be extended from sixty to 2,000 miles, as expert testimony establishes it as a fact that the female seal goes far outside the sixty -mile limit, and oan be slaughtered without regard to the government patroL A change in this particular cannot be effected, however, until the govern ments have a further conference. Sir Julian Paunoef ote, the British ambas sador, sails Tuesday next for his sum mer vacation in Great Britain. He will probably be in London when the Behring sea bill is introduced and de bated, but he does not anticipate that the debate will be of any significance on the general subject. The Cattlemen Are Determined. Denver, June 4. The cattle-growers of Eagle, Routt and Garfield counties, in Northwest Colorado, at a joint meeting have adopted resolutions posi tively forbidding sheep-owners from driving through the counties. The cattlemen are well organized and de termined, and there will be serious trouble if Jack Edwards, of Wyoming, persists in his purpose of driving his flock of 40,000 sheep south to the Bio Grande railway, instead of north to the Union Pacific DENVER'S BIG EXPOSITION. The Mines and Industries of the Trans Mississippi Country. Denver, June 4. The managers of the proposed mining and industrial ex position have issued a statement to the public setting forth what has already been accomplished and what it is pro posed to do. They say: "The results to date of the canvass for subscriptions justifies the statement that ample financial aid will be ob tained, and the selection of the site ends the important work of the com mittee and warrants the announcement that the success of the exposition is now practically assured. Active work will begin at once. "Since the national mining and in dustrial exposition, held in Denver in 1882, which proved a great factor in the subsequent development of Colo rado and Denver, there has been no exposition of the resources: and indus trial progress of the trans-Mississippi country. Since that time the country west of the Mississippi has increased in populaltion 50 per cent; it lias added five new states to the Union; it has built 25,000 additional miles of rail road, and has given to the world un told millions in the produots of the mines, farms, fields and factories. This great region is the producing belt of the world. It constitutes two-thirds of the area of the United States, and is the home of 117,000,000 of the nation's most progressive people." Among the reasons urged for holding an exposition at this time are: "First to commemorate the close of the centennial of the purchase of the territory of Louisiana; second to cele brate the progress of the trans-Mississippi country in its mining, agricultur al, educational, manufacturing, histor ical and industrial advancement in all their departments; third, to celebrate Colorado's twentieth anniversary as a state." FISCAL YEAR'S DEFICIT. Treasury Officials Confident of a Good Showing This Month. Washington, June 4. Treasury of- oials are now confident that the fiscal year, which ends one month hence, will show a deficiency of not more than $44,000,000, and possibly not more than $43,000,000, whioh is at least, $5,000,000 less than was expected only a few weeks ago, and $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 less than the present fig ures. It is shown that the pension payments during June will be at least $25,000,000 less than for May, and that the payments on account of inter est will also be reduced $1,500,000. With an increase in the internal reve nue of $3,000,000 on account of special liquor, tobacco and oleomargarine li censes, which must be paid before July 1," and very material reductions in pensions and interest payments, it is confidently expected that next month will show a small surplus, with the deficit further reduced to at least $44, 000,000. July, however, is likely to see the deficit increased by at least $10,000,000, for that month's interest payments will aggregate about $7,000,- 000. Disbursements in every branch of the government are usually much heavier in July than in any other month, so that unless they are increas ed, the deficit August 1, next, will not be likely to fall much short of $55, 000,000 for the thirteen months. OUR METAL PRODUCTION. The Great Decrease Last Tear Compared With the Year Before. New York, June 4. According to the Engineering and Mining Journal, the total value of the mineral and metal productions of the United States in 1893 and 1894 was: 1893, $615,- 846,806; 1894, $553,272,902, a decline of about $62,573,904, or 9 per cent. This great falling off was however, due far more to lower prices than a les sened quantity of the product Thus the value of the coal production de clined last year $138,783,-828, or 7 per ent, while in quantity it fell off only 6,220,970 short tons, or 3 1-2 per cent. This small decline in the volume of the coal product is substantially the , measure of the whole mineral output of the country. The copper output increased 8 per cent, from 322,255,788 pounds in 1893, to 853,504,314 pounds in 1894, though in value it declined no less than $1,639,600 or 4 1-2 per cent The production of gold increased from $35,955, 000 in 1893 to $39,761,200 in 1894, but the commercial value of silver produced declined' from $47,- 311,400 in 1893, to $31,405,531 in 1894, a fall of $15,907,929, or 84 per cent This was partly due to the reduced pro duction, but the price also declined j from 7.02 per ounce in 1893, to 63 in 1894. Other mineral industries made a highly satisfactory record in 1894. With reviving prosperity and prices the product will reap the harvest which was planted in hard times. Spokane Has Another Sensation. Spokane, Wash., June 4. A sensa tion was developed today when it be came known that the trustees of the Scottish Rite in Free Masonry had sued William Ziegler and Louis Zieg lar, his father, for nearly $1,500. William Ziegler was treasurer. It is claimed he refuses to make a settle ment with the order. Louis Ziegler is one of the most prominent Masons in the Northwest, the owner of the Zieg ler block and a pioneer of Spokane. He refuses to discuss the matter, but says there will be a defense and a strong one. . -- - 1 - No Coal Strike. Johnstown, Pa., June 3.

HER EXPORT TRADE IS RUINED It Was Seduced From Bullions to Al most Nothing by Her Failure to Enter Reciprocal Belations. Washington, June 8. General Reg nifo, the representative here of the re public of Colombia, expects to be au thorized by this government to present a claim against the United States for damages sustained by Colombia by rea son of President Harrison's prolcama tion of tariff retaliation. Secretary Blaine effected reciprocity treaties with most of the South and Central Ameri can republics, but Colombia and a few others refused to make such treaties. They were warned that if they held out against reciprocity they would be re taliated against This failed to effect any arrangement Thereupon, at the suggestion of Secretary of State John W. Foster, who had succeeded Blaine, President Harrison proclaimed dis criminating tariff rates against the coffee, hides, sugar and molasses of Colombia. This practically ruined the trade of Colombia, as her coffee and hides. could not be sent here against the competition of Brazil, Mexico and other countries which enjoyed freedom from duties under the reciprocity- treaties. These exports to the United States reached about 5,000,000 pesos, a peso being worth about 45 cents, but im mediately after the proclamation they fell to nothing. Colombia protested against the retaliation, claiming that the most favored nation clause of the treaty with the United States protected against the tariff discrimination. Sec retary Foster and the Colombian minis ter, Senor Hurtado, carried on a sharp and very personal correspondence, and the minister finally left Washington with the statement that he would not return until a settlement was effected. No settlement was ever made, and the submission of Colombia's claim for loss and damage sustained will be the re sult, i ,- WHOLESALE LYNCHING. Three Negroes Killed and a Fourth Terribly Beaten. Burlow, Fla. , June 8. Tuesday night Mrs. Timberlake, a young widow who lives with her father in the west ern portion of this county, was assault ed by a negro while in bed with her little daughter. Four negroes were arrested for the crime. Last night they were taken from the guards while en route to this place to be jailed, by fifty men who wore black masks and carried Winchesters. The masked men disap peared with the four negroes into a swamp, where three of them were kill ed and the fourth almost beaten to death and odered to leave the country. The crime for whioh the negroes were lynched was a peculiarly brutal one. About 1 o'clock Tuesday Mrs. Timberlake was awakened by a noise in her room. She reached for the matches, which were on a table near the bed, and as she arose a negro grasped her by the throat In the struggle her night clothing was torn to shreds, and her lower limbs and breasts Mghtfully bruised. The negro kept his hand tightly clasped on the woman's throat, and she soon lost con sciousness. About this time Mrs. Timberlake' s little daughter, who was sleeping with her awoke and began to cry out, "Mamma, mamma," as if she had an inkling that something was wrong. Mr. Pipkin, the father of Mrs. Timber- lake, whose room adjoined his daugh ter's was aroused by the crying of the child. He called to his daughter, but received no reply. Alarmed by the silence he rushed to the door to find it locked. He burst it in, and as he en tered the room he saw the negro crawl ing out of the window from which he had entered. Mr. Pipkin struck a light and saw Mrs. Timberlake in a frightful condi tion. She was nude and lying in blood which had flowed from wounds inflicted by her assailant The little girl, who had crawled upon the uncon scious form of her mother, was crying and was smeared with blood. Soon Mrs. Timberlake revived and told the story of the assault Officers were notified and the search for the negro was begun. A rain had just fallen, and it was easy to track the brute. All day a trail was followed, and late in the afternoon it led to a cabin in which were found four ne groes. They were arrested, and the guards started to this place with them. When the guards reached a lonely por tion of the road, masked men surround ed them, and at the muzzles of Win chesters ordered the negroes turned over to them. The guards were out numbered ten to one and complied. The masked men then disappeared with them into the woods, where three of them were killed and the fourth beaten nearly to death. Not a mem ber of the mob is known, and the de tails of the killing is not obtainable. The negro who was beaten has been heard from in the western part of the country trying to make his way out He is terribly frightened, and refuses to talk about what happened to his companions, saying the lynchers swore they would kill him if they ever heard of his talking. No Transcontinental Association. . Chicago, Jane 8. The transconti nental lines have abandoned their at tempt to form a passenger association. It was annouced as there would not be a satisfactory attendance at the next meeting, whioh was scheduled for June 5, the meeting would be indefinitely adjourned. END OF THE CONTRACT. The Pullman Company Sues the Mil waukee & St. Paul. Chicago, June 3. The suit of the Pullman Palace Car Company against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railroad for $70,000 came up' before Judge Seaman in the United States court this morning. In 1882 the two companies enetered into a fifteen-year contract which the road was privileged to end at the expiration of five, eight or eleven years. The railroad fur nished $300,000 and the Pullman com pany $100,000 for the building and equipment of forty-five parlor and sleeping cars to be run on the road. The Pullman company was to take charge of the operation of the cars, and each year render an accounting and make a division of the profits accord ing to the interests of each. The con tract provided that at the end of five, eight, or eleven years the railroad could pay the Pullman company $100,000 and become sole owner of the cars and the srvice. At the expiration of eight years, in 1890, the railroad gave notice to the Pullman Company of its inten tion to buy out the latter. The Pullman company claimed $105,555 for their fourth interest, and the railroad insisted on deducting sev eral thousand dollars for damages to the oars. This was not allowed, and now the Pullman company sues for $70,000 damages, the St Paul road be ing willing to compromise for one fourteenth of that sum. In addition to the suit now on trial there is one by the railroad company against the Pullman company pending on the chancery docket, asking for an order compelling the Pullman company to render an accounting for the ex penses of operating during the eight years the contract was in force. The hearing will probably take a week or more. ROUTED BY THE REBELS. Cuban Insurgents Meet With a Succes . . slon of disasters. Havana, June 8. Colonel Zamora, at the head of 300 troops found the in surgents occupying positions between Plazuela and Rinoon de Caliente. An engagement followed, in which the troops captured the insurgents' position, the enemy leaving four dead on the field, carrying away their wounded. Lieutenant Fernandez, operating in combination with Colonel Zamora, at the head of another detachment of troops, after opening fire upon the. in surgents, charged on their position at the point of the bayonet and compelled the enemy to retire. t The insurgents lost two killed and several wounded. The regiment of Isabella, the Catho lic, came across 850 insurgents . be tween Baylou and Manzanillo. After an engagement of an hour the insur gents were routed, leaving fifteen dead and eight wounded on the field. Among the killed was the insurgent leader, Guerra. It is reported the insurgent chiefs, Reuty and Vega, were also killed. Nine Spanish soldiers were killed. An Outrage on a farmer. Toledo, O., June 3. A shocking outrage has been perpetrated upon Joel Handst, a farmer living in Richfield township, Henry county. Numerous depredations were made on his farms, but no one was punished. Becoming suspicious of his forbearance, his ene mies began to associate his name with several mysterious disappearances Of farmers during the last year, and a band of masked men finally went to his oottage in Whitecap attire. Handst was praying when the marauders made a forcible entrance. He continued in a suppliant attitude while his premises were being ransacked. Not finding their suspicions verified by anything, the maskers deliberately cut off his right ear and half of the left He made no resistance. His wounds were dressed by his wife, who takes the out rage as coolly as himself. The sheriff is investigating the case, but Handst will not prosecute it A Kentucky Battle. Louisville, Ky., June 3. A battle occurred on Straight creek, fifteen miles from here, in which Long John Helton was killed and Jim Belcher and Charles Johnson were badly wounded. Those on the othr side were George Taylor, Jim Taylor, Joe Arnett and a woman named Sarah Griffith, who oan handle a Winchester with the best of men. The Helton crowd was sur rounded and fired upon from ambush. They returned the fire, and some of the Taylor crowd were wounded and car ried to the mountains. The battle grew out of a series of lawsuits and a controversy between Johnson and Tay lor over the possession of some prop erty. Action Against a Seized Sealer. Victoria, B. C, June 3. Hon. E. C. Pooley, Q. C, a leading lawyer, has been instructed by the British govern ment to take action against the schooner Shelby, seized by the United States steamer Corwin, for being in prohibited sealing grounds with unsealed fire arms. It is not known whether this or illegal sealing will be the charge, but probably the latter, as England refused to renew the regulations regarding the sealing of firearms. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report GEAR! LA W IS UPHELD Lem Moon Sing Has Been Barred From Entry. RIGHT TO FORBID ENTRANCE The Chinese Exclusion bv Affirmed by Justice Harlan In the United States Supreme Court. Washington, June 1. The supreme court of the United States made sl most important ruling upon the admission of the Chinese exclusion laws today by affirming the refusal of the United States district court for the northern' district of California to grant ah ap plication for a writ of habeas corpus made by Lem Moon Sing, who was barred from entry by the oolleotor of the port of San Francisco. Lem Moon Sing was engaged in bus iness, a member of the wholesale drug fim of Kee San Tong & Co., of San Francisco, and in January, 1894, went to China, intending to return to his business. During his absence the ap propriation act of August 18, 1894, was passed, containing an item of $50,000 for officers to enforce the Chinnm . elusion act and expenses of exporting linmese. jtie returned in .November of the same year, and the collector at.

GOING TO THE NORTH POLE. This Time the Toyage Will Be Made ' by Balloon. Stockholm, June 1. It is announced that King Oscar will subsoribe 30,000 ; kroners to the promotion of M. Andres' project for reaching the north pole by balloon, thereby making the expedition a certainty. M. Andre, the celebrated Swedish aeronaut, who proposes to take the voyage, is chief engineer of the Stockholm patent office. He has made a number of aeronautical ascents with the assistance of the fund which is controlled by the Swedish academy of sciences. He always ascends alone in a balloon of 30,000 cubic feet, built in Paris, under the direction of M. de Fourvrelle and Count Wrangle, first ; secretary of the Swedish legation in Paris. M. Andre in 1893 crossed the Baltio sea from Stockholm and landed on a deserted island, forming a part of the French archipelago. His Arctic proposition was explained by hi in detail at a sitting of the academy of sciences at Stockholm recently. In the oourse of his lecture he expressed the belief that in view of the favorable conditions which the polar regions afforded for aerial voyaging and the great progress lately made in aeronaut ics, a balloon could make the voyage from Spitzbergen over the north pole in about thirty days. The cost of the enterprise would be about 180,000 kroners, or $36,000. Three From Seattle. Seattle, June 1. There were three instead of two Seattle men on the lost s tamer Colima. The third was Win- ' dom T. Spearin, a surveyor, who left with his wife for San Francisco, in tending to go to Central America or South America. Two years ago he wag special inspector of surveys for the United States land office, and had to wait for approval of his work, agreeing to pay his employes when he was paid. The latter assigned their claims, and Spearin was sued and judgment was obtained, with interest and costs. When Spearin received the money, about $2,500, he tendered the original amount, but declined to pay interest and costs. The tender was refused, and Spnarin kept the money and start ed for Central America with it, only to meet his death. Fifteen Killed Outright. Guayaquil, Ecuador, June 1. The boiler of the Ecuadorian gunboat Sucre exploded tonight, killing the com mander and fourteen men, and injur ing seventeen more, thirteen fatally At the time of the accident she was carrying troops to Maohala to attack the rebels.
