Eczema.
IN ITS WORST FORM
Grew Worse Under Treatment of Best
Physicians. Tried
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Great Chance in Five Days. To-day
Entirely Cared, With Mice Bead

I had a baby that had Eczema in its worst
form. I bad one of the best physicians in
the city attending her, but she continued to
fet worse all the time under his treatment,
le finally admitted that he was at his wits"
end. I then got Cutioitba Remedies, and in
a few day noticed great change in her con
dition. She continued to improve after that,
and to-day i entirely cured, has nice head of
hair, and is lively and hearty. I can fully
recommend them as being the best medicines
for the cure of this disease. I spent, con
siderable money for drugs and doctor's Dills,
which was nseless in this case, for I think
if your remedies don't cure, nothing will. I
am telling every one that I see suffering,
about CuTicrjBA Remedies, and can cheer
fully recommend them to those in need ox
them.

CANADA COMPETITION
A Bulletin From the Agricul
tural Department.
THE WORLD'S MARKET SERIES
Total Trade of the Dominion Has In
creased Twenty-One Per Cent
In Ten Years.
Washington, August 13. The ex
tent of the competition of Canada with
the United States in foreign markets is
pointed out in a bulletin, to be issued
by the secretary of agriculture in a
few days. The bulletin is the fourth
of the world's market series in course
of publication by the department, and
embodies the reports of thirty of our
consuls in the Dominion. It shows
that the total export of Canada in
creased from $89,000,000 in 1885 to.
1118,000,000 in 1894, or 33 per cent;
the imports from $119,000,000 to
$123,000,000, or 13 per cent; and the
total trade from $198,000,000 to $241,-
000,000, or 21 per cent during the same
period. The largest proportional in
crease was in 1892, when the value of
the t&U." trade exceeded that of the
preceding year about 11 per cent.
From 1888 to 1891, inclusive, the trade
of Canada with the United States ex
ceeded that of any other country, but
since then the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland has taken
the first rank, with the United States
second.
An important fact is that a large
share of the agricultural products go
ing abroad from Canadian seaports
are cereals and flour in transit from
the United States. Of $27,000,000 of
such products shipped last year, $9,
000,000 was American merchandise.
Of late years increased attention has
been given by the government of Can
ada to dairy interests, enconrging the
dairy associations throughout the coun
try, and passing strict sanitary laws
regulating the manufacture of cheese
and butter. No adulterations can be
used, and the importation, manufac
ture and sale of oleomargarine and
other similar substances is prohibited.
Through the quantity of butter export
ed decreased from 10,500,000 pounds
in 1888 to 5,500,000 in 1894, nearly 50
per cent, the value declined only from
$1,700,000 to $1,100,000. This indi
cates improvement in the quality of
butter exported.
The statistics of the fishing industry
and the forest products show that the
value of the former in 1894 was $30,-
000,000, and the latter over $80,000,-
000. In wood pulp, m 1894, the
United States alone imported from the
Dominion $369,010.
WERE ALL TOO DRUNK.
No One Able to Unlock the Doors of
the Cells. ,
Lebanon, Ind., August 13. A mob
of forty men went to the Springfield
jail about 1 o'clock this morning and
demanded the keys of the cells of Mat
thew Lewis and James Ray, who as
saulted Mrs. Shields recently. The
jailer, seeing resistance was useless,
handed over the keys, and the mob
proceeded to business. Everybody in
the mob was drunk, and none of them
seemed to be able to unlock the jail
door. After working about the locks
and bolts without result, they secured
sledghammers and tried to break down
the doors. They proved too strong for
them, however, and after two hours'
hard work they abandoned the job.
They then emptied their revolvers into
the cells of the jail, but no one was
hit. Returning the keys to the jailer,
they said they would be back tonight
and left. The mob was made up of
men from Washington and Marion
counties. The two negroes will be
confined at Louisville until the excite
ment is over.

Vancouver, B. C, August 10. Colo

Mexico Does Not Like an Alleged In
terview With Minister Ransom.
City of Mexico, August 13. Much
interest is felt here regarding the truth
of the alleged interview with United
States Minister Ransom telegraphed
from Washington to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, in which Ransom is
quoted as saying that the new extradi
tion treaty will be required in order to
prevent embezzlers from the United
States escaping extradition by using
money among Mexican authorities. If
Ransom is correctly reported, he will
probably be regarded here as "persona
non grata," the alleged utterance be
ing a direct attack on the highest func
tionaries, for whom, while here, Ran
som expressed highest esteem. It is
believed here that the minister was
misrepresented. Mr. Gray, just be
fore his death, was reported by all
American journals as declaring that
Guatemala was right in her contention
with Mexico, an utterance that natur
ally gave offense here, but Gray died
before there was opportunity for an ex
planation. Great apprehension is felt in all the
west coast ports regarding the contin
ued ravages of yellow fever in Central
American seaports. All vessels recently
arriving from Central America have
been treated as suspicious, principally
those from Acajutla and Ocos.
The American Security Company, of
New York, has opened a branch here,
according to the terms of a liberal
charter recently granted. The com
pany will insure government employes
and government bonds for contractors,
besides doing private business.
Due cause has been found for hold
ing Landsbort, the alleged lover of
Emma Thorn, the manner of whose
death is in dispute.
Two persons of the twenty-two in
jured in the Tehauntepec railway acci
dent have died. The road is new, and
the track not altogether in good condi
tion.
OMAHA'S POLITICAL ROW.
Talk of Settlement in the Local Courts,
and Also of Force.
Omaha, August 13. There now ap
pears to be a fair prospect that the fire
and police board muddle will be ami
cably settled in this city, as suggested
by Governor Holcombe at the very in
ception of the trouble.
The injunction case decided yester
day settled none of the issues involved,
and in passing upon the petition for
an injunction the judge intimated that
the proper procedure would be for the
claimants under the Churchill-Russell
appointment to bring quo warranto
proceedings against the old board. The
present incumbents have always claim
ed that they were ready and anxious to
join issues on the right to the office in
a legal proceeding. While no agree
ment to this effect has yet been arrived
at, one possibly may be reached within
twenty -four hours.
Another story which is given ere-
dence in many quarters is that the A.
P. A. board will meet tomorrow, ap
point a police force and demand pos
session of the office and books, and, if
refused, to attempt to take possession
by force. The present police force is
prepared to resist any attempt of this
kind. In case the newly appointed
police force cannot obtain possession
of the city jail, it counts upon securing
recognition from the police judge and
setting up a little jail of its own. It is
more likely, however, that the pro
posal for a settlement will be adopted.
Battle With Tramps.
Ashtabula, O., August 13. Six men
had a desperate battle in a box car be
tween Erie, Pa., and this place, last
night. Three stonecutters, H. G.
Eastly, James Smith and John Mem
hart, boarded the train at Erie to come
to Ashtabula. At a water tank three
tramps entered the car. When the
train had got under way again, two of
the tramps drew revolvers and asked
them to hand over what money they
had. Smith had a revolver and showed
fight. In an instant a battle between
him- and the two tramps was in prog
ress. Eastly was shot through the
groin, Smith receieved a wound in the
neck and one of the tramps had a bul
let through his neck. On arrival of
the train here the wounded men were
cared for. ' The tramp, who gave his
name as John Cuddy, of Waterbury,
Conn., ia in a critical condition.
A Lost Art Discovered. ,
Pittsburg, August 13. George
Crowley, Cornelius Shay and John
Ryan, iron wokers have found the
lost art of welding copper to iron or
steel. They show several samples of
the metals perfectly welded. The last
record history gives of these metals
having been welded was in 500 B. C.
The value of the discovery comes in the
fact that copper offers greater resist
ance to the action of salt water - than
any other metaL
The Carnegie Company has offered
the men a fixed price for the secret. A
shop has been fitted up for the men at
the Homestead plant, where tomorrow
the men propose to weld a plate of
copper to an ingot of nickel steel armor
plate. The Carnegie company hopes
to be able to cover all armor plates lor
the big battleships.
The Prohibition Removed.
Colon, August 13. The govern
merits of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
have notified steamship agents that
the prohibition against the landing of
priests and nuns has been removed, and
free entry has been accorded to ail ex
cept Chinamen.
Will of Mrs. TalmaKe.

some $166,000, of which $30,000 is
real and $186,000 personal property.
Her husband ia the sole legatee.

Portland banker, but then a surveyor,
to lay it out in town lots. It being at
that period in the history of our coun
try in which those questions which led
up to the civil war were being warmly
disoussed, Mr. Chapman, in deference
to his patriotism and loyalty to his
country, named his new town ' union.
NO SIGN OF REACTION.
Business Continues to Be Very Active
for Midsummer.
New York, August 12. R. G. Dun
& Co. say in the Weekly Review of
Trade:
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer, and though there is a
perceptible relaxation, there are no
signs of reaction. The one change of
great importance which' the past week
has brought is the amicable settlement
between coal miners and employers in
Pennsylvania; Ohio and Indiana. It
is said about 100,000 men will have
their wages increased after October 1
by this adjustment, and while the en
largement of purchasing power is of
consequence it seems even more im
portant that a chronic case of contro
versy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores. There
is no important change in crop pros
pects and at this time no news is emi
nently good news.
Wheat has declined a fraction with
very scanty transactions, the extremely
small Western receipts influencing the
market for the present more than the
restricted exports. The concerted
withholding of wheat by Western
farmers, if continued, would doubtless
affect the price in the end, but it has
already stopped Atlantio exports al
most entirely. The Western farmers
may find reason to regret that they did
not ship their wheat at the proper
time. It tends to lower prices with
more encouraging prospects, and the
expectation of a heavy corn crop affects
prices of provisions as might be ex
pected.
The industries continue to make
progress and higher prices for iron and
steel products prove that the supply
has not yet outrun the demand. Bes
semer iron is a shade weaker, but grey
forge has advanced about 60 cents, and
finished products are remarkably firm.
Lake copper has advanced to 12o. Tin
has declined about a quarter of a cent
and is quoted at $14.20. Lead is a
trifle stronger at $3. 55. The anthra
cite coal market is completely demor
alized, and prices have again yielded a
little to about the lowest ever known.
Sales of wool are not as much in
flated by speculation as they were dur
ing the first half of Jnly, bnt they still
exceed the usual consumption in the
manufacture, amounting at the three
chief markets to 6,259,300 pounds.
Prices are very firm. Some staple cot
ton goods have again advanced in
price and the market is unusually
strong for the season.
Failures for the week were 225 in
the United States against 264 last year,
and 43 in Canada against 54 last year.
THE OREGON PENITENTIARY.
Improvements That Superintendent Gil
bert Thinks Should Be Made.
Salem, Or., August 12. Superin
tendent A. N. Gilbert, of the state peni
tentiary, has been credited with saying
that the prison was in a very bad con
dition. Today he was seen and showed
your correspondent over the peniten
tiary. In making the rounds of the
institution he called attention to the
repairs and changes he considered nec
essary; to wooden window panes; to
worn and rickety steps and stairways;
to old and unsightly walks; to the
newly-built flume that was contrasted
with the old, which, Mr. Gilbert said,
had rotted from allowing dirt to bank
up against the timbers; to an old
tumble-down shed that covered the
pump engine; to the unkempt condi
tion of the engine; to the neglected
appearance of everything in the me
chanical departement. In the kitchen,
Mr. Gilbert said: "This is. sirrply
terrible. It is the most rotten, dirty
arrangement I ever saw for a state in
stitution. This kitchen is in the base
ment, under the chapel, the center of
the building, and steam and odors find
their way to every cell."
" What changes would you suggest in
the arrangement of the kitchen?" was
asked the superintendent.
"There should be another ell to the
building for a kitchen and dining
room for the convicts. This would do
away with feeding convicts in the cell,
and the nausea of a kitchen under the
ohapeL"
.In the hospital the superintendent
pointed out leaks in the walls and roof.
And this window frame corresponds
with the general dilapidation," he
said, as he pulled off a piece of timber
from the frame, exposing a deserted
bumble-bee's nest. The superintend
en thinks a new heating system is
needed, and that the grounds should
be properly drained.
In answer to what course he would
pursue in the management of the in
stitutiion, Superintendent Gilbert said
he would either have to make a deficit,
or curtail other expenses. The latter,
he explained, was being done by sup
plying about half the discharged con
victs with the suits they bring, instead
of purchasing new ones at $15 each,
and by saving tbe $5 heretofore given
released convicts.

(JUSTICE JACKSON DEAD
Died Yesterday at His Home
Near Nashville.
HIS DEATH NOT UNEXPECTED
The First Man Appointed to the Su
preme Bench by a President Elect
ed by the Opposite Party.
Nashville, August 10. The Hon.
Howell Edmunds Jackson, associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States, died at his residence at
West Meade, six miles west of this
city, this afternoon in the 64th year of
his age, of consumption.
Justice Jackson has been in failing
health for the past four years, but it
has been only in the past eight or nine
months that the progress of the disease
began to cause his family and friends
uneasiness. Last year he went on a
lengthy trip to the Far West, in search
of health. Later he went to Thomas
ville, Tenn., where it was hoped that
the mild and bracing climate would
restore his once vigorous constitution.
The trip did him little good, and after
a time he was brought home.
At his home Judge Jackson seemed
to improve slightly, until he went to
Washington to sit in the second hear
ing of the income tax case. He stood
the trip fairly well, but after his re
turn home appeared to lose strength
rapidly. Nevertheless, Judge Jackson
never took to his bed until last
Wednesday week. Since that time his
family and friends feared that the end.
was near, and his death today was not
unexpected.
Judge Jackson was twice married,
the first time to Miss Sophia Mallory,
daughter of David B. Mallory, a
banker of Memphis, who died in 1873.
To this union were born three child
ren, Henry, William R. and Howell
E. Jackson. Henry Jackson is at pres
ent soliciting freight agent of tbe
Southern railway, with headquarters
at Atlanta. William R. Jackson is dis
trict attorney of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, at Cincinnati. Howell E. Jack
son is manager of . the Jackson cotton
mills, at Jackson, Tenn.
In 1876 Judge Jackson married Miss
Mary E. Harding, daughter of General
William G. Harding. Of this union
three children survive, Misses Eliza
beth and Louise Jackson, and Harding
A. Jackson. With the exception of
Miss Elizabeth Jackson and Williim
R. Jackson, jr., who are in Europe,
the children were at his bedside when
he died.
Howell Edmunds Jackson enjoyed
the distinction of being the first man
appointed to the supreme bench of the
United States by a president elected by
the opposition party and apparently
without regard to political considera
tions as such. It is true that prece
dents for such action are cited, but
they are apparent rather than real.
President Washington's administration
was meant to be nonpartisan, and his
experience with Chief Justice John Jay
and other judges was in keeping with
the general design. President Jack
son's administration was confessedly a
time when parties were reforming on -new
lines, and similarly all other al
leged exceptions are found to be more
apparent than real.
The selection of Judge Jackson
stands out boldly as- a real exception.
It clearly indicates that President Har
rison fully appreciated that new issues
were hereafter to divide the parties,
and the appointment, therefore, mark
ed a great epoch in American political
history.
Judge Jackson had been a lawyer
ever since he was old enough for ad
mission to the bar, and a judge during
most of his adult life. Even in the
heat and fury of the civil war, he was
a judge rather than a partisan. He
served with rare ability in the civil
service of the Confederate government,
and when the Democratic party of
Tennessee divided on the question of
the state debt, he took high ground in
favor of paying dollar for dollar ac
cording to the original contract.
Killed His Partner.
San Miguel, CaL, August 13. Dep
uty. Sheriff Nesbitt has taken Tom
Coughlin to San Luis Obispo. Cough
lin acknowledged that he killed his
partner, Charles Milan, whose body
was found partially cremated near
Cholame. ' Coughlin refuses to make
any further statement or give any par
ticulars of the killing. The coroner
found that Milan had been shot
through the head and the skull had
been smashed. Tbe face was charred
beyond recognition, both legs entirely
burned, and the heart and entrails ex
posed. Coughlin is quiet and gentle
manly in his demeanor, and does not
look like a man who would commit
such a crime. The murdered man
was known as "English Charley," and
he and Coughlin were partners in a
chicken ranch near Cholame.
The War Eagle Mining Company
has declared another dividend of $50,
000. This is the company's third div
idend. The first was for $32,000, and
paid for the mine and all development
work; the second was for $50,000, and
was paid June 14.
