SCALY ECZEMA ALL OVER BODY Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out Scales and Crusts Formed Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skin Diseases. ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limits an fur an the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician, I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in wliich I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti cura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the lust attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as I always keep them with me; probably one half doien of each. " I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies a trial after I had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them. When they began using Cuticura Rem edies her face was terribly disfigured with fres, but she was entirely cured, for I saw the same child at the age of five years, and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. I am, respectfully yours, Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905."

United States Should Fortify One of Its Defenses. "Pearl harbor, near Honolulu, one of the finest harbors In the Pacific ocean, should be dredged and fortl. fled by the United Rtutes government If It Intends to retain Its prestige In the Pacific," said John L. McCan dless, of Pittsburg, a guest of the Oxford hotel, who Is one his way to his home after an extended tour of fur eastern countries, says the Den ver Post. "The harbor Is midway between the western coast of America and the Philippine possessions of this country and could easily be put In such shape that It would accommodate a fleet twice as large as the entire naval strength of the United States. Ha waii should be a powerful factor In the system of national defense and as Penrl harbor Is adapted by nature for the needs of a great naval base It would become one of the strategic outposts In the Pacific. "The future of America In both the naval and commercial sense, will he centered largely In the Pacific ocean. When the Panama canal Is finished a great Impetus will be given to Pacific shipping and the American govern ment will have to meet many ques tions that will arise In that part of the globe. "I do not think there Is much dan ger of Philippine sugar being import ed Into this country tariff or no tar iff, In quantities to destroy the sugar beet Industry. There Is a good field In the far east for all the sugar that can be manufactured there. In Ha waii alt the sugar manufactured at home Is used In the Islands, and In addition to this a considerable quan tity Ib Imported from America." Mr. McCandless is engaged In the hanking business In Pittsburg, and took the trip to Uncle Sam's far east ern possessions on the advice of his physicians. His health Is now great ly Improved. He Intends to settle up his affairs in Pennsylvania and return to Honolulu, which he declared "the most Ideal spot In the world to live in." SECOND GAME OF BASKET-BALL. High School anil Commercial Club Play Tonight. This evening the second game of basket-ball between the high school and Commercial association teams will be played in the club gymnasium, In stead of at the high school as was the first game. A slight admission will be charged. Since the high school boys won In the former contest, they are now anxious to maintain their record. Consequently they will put up the best game possible. Their line-up will be as follows: Strlcklln and Penland, forwards; Storle, center; Thompson and Turner, guards; Strand and Dickson, subs. There seems to be some doubt as to the make-up of the club team owing to the failure of some of the players to appear at practice. How ever, a strong teanr will doubtless be on the floor. Praise the JitaiicMO. I have never seen a more quiet, orderly or self-restrained people than the Japanese. I have visited all of the larger cities and several of the smaller ones, in all parts of the Is lands; have mingled In the crowds that assembled at Toklo and at Yoko hama at the time of the reception to Togo, and during the naval review; have ridden through the streets In daytime and at night, and have walked when the entire street was a mass of humanity. I have not seen one drunken native or witnessed a fight or altercation of any kind. This Is the more remarkable when It Is re membered that these have been gala days, when the entire population turned out to display Its patriotism and to enjoy a vacation. William Jennings Bryan.

(Continued from page 1.) misled Blakeley and Taylor, or that Blakeley and Taylor were In with him and knew all about It.' CI targes Grandstand Plajr. "I made that statement last Mon day morning, and how can the attor neys for the defense say they were surprised, when we undertook to sim ply do what I had stated I would do? What they have been doing is simply 'grandstand play." " Colonel Raley then replied that the giving of the notice In the opening statement of the district attorney was unfair, as they should have known of the fact several months ago. Judge Fee then stated that he had not noticed Mr. Phelps' reference to the point In his opening statement, and that he could not now recall It. Echo of Yesterday's Fight. A somewhat heated controversy then took place between Judge Fee and the district attorney, which was In the nature of an echo of yester day's exciting scrimmage. Judge Fee declared he had been furnished with the report for the Taylor term, and understood the one for Blakeley's ad ministration was not to be brought up. He declared he should have been given both reports, and that he had been misled, though, as to whether such was by design or otherwise, was a matter between the district at torney and himself. District Attorney Phelps then de fended himself upon the charge of misleading the counsel, saying he cer tainly had not done so Intentionally, and that Judge Fee had no right to rave. In giving the defendant's attor neys the report for the Taylor term he said he merely acted out of cour tesy, and was not required to do so. Judge Fee still Insisted he had been misled, and that he understood the Blakeley report was not to come up. "Do you say I said that?" asked the district attorney with considerable anger. "I say I understood it," replied Judge Fee. "Oh, well," exclaimed Mr. Phelps. Motion for Delay Denied. Judge Ellis then stated that It was not for the court to say what had passed between the attorneys, but that it was the rule that the defend ant should come prepared to meet anything competent that was brought against him. Also, he Inferred that Davis had suffilcent knowledge of the Blakeley affairs to suffice for his attorneys. Consequently, he denied the motion for delay. Judge Fee then said he desired time In which to prepare some affi davits, and consequently an adjourn ment was taken until 2 p. m. Mr. Taylor was then called and put upon the stand to Identify the books used during the Blakeley term. The counsel for the defendant now ob jected to the entering of these books and the court overruled the objection, and the work went forward with the marking of the exhibits. State Will Finish Tomorrow. This afternoon District Attorney Phelps stated thnt the prosecution will easily finish Its case by tomorrow night, unless the cross-examinations should be unusually lengthy. As to how much time will be consumed by the defense Is problematical but It Is presumed that they will use fully as much as the state, if not more. Slurlff Taylor Recalled. After the work of marking the books of the Blakeley administration this afternoon and entering them as exhibits in the evidence. Sheriff T. D, Taylor was recalled and said that ir conversation with C. P. Davis In Nolte's saloon In this city, that Davis denied that a shortage existed In the Blakeley administration, but luter In the sheriff's office Davis admitted to Taylor that a shortage of about $3000 wan found In the Blakley books. An 3:9(i trr afternoon Expert Buch anan, was recalled and at time of go ing1 So press was upon the witness standi giving testimony as to the books ,of the E kike ley term. COtfHT ADHERES TO POSITION. Second Attempt to Surure Extension of Time Was Fruitiest. As soon as court was called to or der this afternoon at 2 o'clock Juthjc Fee came forward with three deposi tions: one from himself, one from C. P. Davis, and one from his associate. Colonel Raley. The sworn statement of Davis set up that he was the defendant named In. rfte Information, and that he had Dcen in the sheriff's office from July, .02; to July, '05, that he had had. charge of the books of the office durttig that time nnd that there weruJ also several deputies employed dur ing that time. There had been thous ands of entries made upon the bookts and It would take a large force to check up the books. That he had.nt been given a report of the experts: an. the books of the Blakeley administra tion, and had had no chance to cover the books, documents and receipts. That he had no funds with whicai to employ aid In examining the books, and would have to do it himself? with the assistance of the members f his family. It would require two. weeks to do this work, and he hur not known before that the district attor ney had Intended to use these books as evidence against him. That if he had known It, he would have- asked for a longer time within which to make an examination, concluding with the statement that he waa not asking time for the purpose of delaying the prosecution. Fee Could Not Get Report. The next deposition read was that of Judge Fee. He stated that he de sired a copy of the report, but that the district attorney refused to de liver it to him or to the defendant on the ground that It wak not a pub lic document, but that he finally ob tained from him a copy of the report for Taylor's administration. He fur ther stated that he did not know that the books of the Blakeley administra tion were to be put In evidence, and that he had had no opportunity to ex amine the report since It was not filed until January 6, 1906. There fore, he said, he could not continue until he had had an opportunity to examine the books. It was not his wish to hinder or delay the case fur ther than might be necessary. The deposition further stated that he had been misled by the action of the dis trict attorney, so that he had request ed the defendant to make an examin ation simply of the books of the Tay lor administration. Colonel Raley stated much the same matter as had Judge Fee, and that they could not go on with the defense without preparation. After reading these depositions Fee spoke In behalf of extending the time for two weeks, that they might make the desired examination. A very friendly spirit seemed to exist betwten the attorneys during the afternoon session, and the spirit of acrimony that had been present most of the time preceding was laid aside. "I exceedingly dislike to presume against my friend, the district attor ney," said Judge Fee, "and I make no reflection upon the attorney's honesty, but I do feel that under these circumstances, whether he acted wil fully or Innocently, that we should be granted time." Mr. Phelps now replied, "And I want to thank Judge Fee for his ex pressions of confidence In me and his good intentions. I wish ,to state, however, that we will only Introduce certain Items, and that It will not be necessary to make an examination of the books as an explanation can be made on cross-examination. The books have been In the clerk's of fice and the defense had the oppor tunity to examine them. I do not think we are depriving the defendant of any substantial right." Judge Ellis then denied the motion for two weeks' time, stating that both attorneys had agreed upon the day of trial, and he had afterwards granted the defense an extension of time In which to further examine the books.

REPUBLIC ABSORBED IT. Standard Oil Subsidiary Company Do ing Trust Business. Cleveland, O., Jan. 26. B. W.

He told how the Republic absorbed the company of which he was formerly a member.

RECLAIM 100,000 ACRES. Big Loft River Project Now Under Way in Idaho. Within the next few days the Big Lost River Land & Irrigation com pany will file application with the state land board for the segregation of 100,000 acres of barren land In Blaine county under the Carey act, says the Boise Statesman. The com pany has under way a project for the Irrigation of this acreage. The land Is In the east portion of Blaine county about 40 miles above Minidoka. The project. If carried out, will mean a great deal to that section of country. There is about 50,000 acres of land In the valley already under Irrigation, and with 100,000 acres more it will provide homes for thousands of people. According to T. W. Thomas, secre tary and manager of the Big Lost River Land & Irrigation company, It Is the purpose of the company to put In a 100-foot dam In the Big Lost river about four miles above Mackay, which will store enough water to Ir rigate 100,000 acres. The dam will be above all the sinks of the river and at a point where there is a good supply of water. The water that Is already being used from the river for Irrigation purposes Is being taken out at different points between the sinks. The rights of those people, said Mr. Thomas, will be readjusted In a sat isfactory manner to them. Work was commenced on the prop osition in May of last year and, said Mr. Thomas, it is expected to have all the preliminary work finished by May of this year, when the company will be ready for actual work. The en gineer for the company, A. P. Adair, Is expected in this morning from the Big Lost river country with his final surveys. The land which it is proposed to irrigate, said Mr. Thomas, is very fa vorably situated. It Is excellent soil, he said, for sugar beet raising and al so for grain. Not many kinds of fruit can be raised there although winter apples will do fine. The surrounding hills are covered with timber which may be easily reached for fuel, etc. The Salmon river branch of the Short Line railroad runs through the land and If a main line Is built from Wyo ming It will almost have to traverse the tract. Indigestion Is easily overcome by the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, be cause this remedy digests what you eat and gives the stomach a rest allows it to recuperate and grow strong again. Kodol relieves Indiges tion, belching of gas, sour -tinmen, heartburn, etc., and enables the di gestive organs to transform all foods into the kind of rich red blood that makes health and strength.
