SpeedyCureTreahnentSI .25
Rathe the affected parts with Hot Water and Cuticura Soap (25c.), to
cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened
cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment
(50c.) freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation and soothe
and heal, and, lastly, take Cutioura Resolvent (50c.) to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set (price, $I.ag) is often sufficient to
cure the most torturing, disfiguring and humilating skin, scalp and
blood humors, with loss of hair, when all else fails.
This sweet and wholesome treatment affords instant relief, per
mits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itch
ing. burning, and scaly humors of the skin, scnlp, and blood, and points
to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure when other remedies
fail.
The agonizing Itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema: the
frightful scaling, as in psoriasis: the loss of hnir and crusting of the
scalp, as in scald head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and
ringworm: the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn
out parents, ns in milk crust, teller^ and salt rheum—all demand a
remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with
them. That Cuticura remedies are such stands proven beyond all
doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by
The strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to af
ford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure.
The absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard
•kin cures and humor remedies of the civilized world.

ON THE RACE TRACK
At New Orleans.
New Orleans. February 26.—After a
thorough investigation of all of the in
cidents of the steeple chase of February
20, the stewards today announced their
decision. All evidence tended to estab
lish the fact that the mare, Lizzie Kelly,
was Intended to win. The stewards there
fore. declared the race off. the associa
tion not responsible for the purse or the
♦owners for jockey fees and ruled William
Foreman, owmer. M. Cady, trainer, the
mare, Lizzie Kelly, and Jockeys V. Por
ter. A. Eggersen and W. Williams off the
turf. In addition they recommend that
Jockeys M. Clancey and F. Lawless be
denied the privileges of the track.
The other owners, trainers and horses
implicated were exonerated. The action
of the stewards gives general satisfaction
and will tend to make future cross-coun
try events more clean and straight. Bo
ihul in the last race today was the only
winning favorite. Track heavy. Sum

BURNED TO DEATH.
Awful Result of a Fire in a Celluloid
Factory.
Waukegon, Ills., February 26.—Two em
ployes were probably burned to death
and two others badly injured in a fire
today which totally destroyed the plant
of the Alden, Oregon Steep Company.
Annie and Jennie Wells have not been
seen since the lire, and are believed to
have perished in the building. The fire
was caused by a. match dropped in cellu
loid scraps, and spread with such rapid
ity that the employes had to run for
their lives. The loss is small.

Betsy as a Cusser.
Betsy Peace and John Alexander are !
charged with abusive language," said
Judge Login, in the Police Court yes
terday. "Are you guilty or not, John?"
• "I'm scared ter say whether I'm guilty
or not," said John. "I may be guilty of
a few things."
"What do you say, Betsy?" asked the
judge. Betys in effect said nay, nay, no.
not to say nothing of nit, nit.
"Let one of the witnesses take the
chair," said the judge. The witness be
ing short of furniture and long on tes
timony took the chair with a bad grace,
or rather a lack of gmce.
"Did you have these parties arrest
ed?" asked the judge.
"Yes, sah."
"What were they doing?"
"Cussln’ an’ fightin’."
"You don't call that anything, do you?"
"No sah; it was for what day called
each udder dat I called de perlice."
"Give me a sample of what they said
—just as small sample," said the judge.
The witness had a large idea of small
and proceeded to give a verbatim re
port of the conversation, but was sto
ped by the judge.
"1 was livin’ next do’, judge, an’ could
hear de cussln’ fru de walls ob de
house."
"Did the walls act as a filter?” asked
the judge.
"I dunno bout dat, judge, but mama
went ter see de lan lord an’ he come an’
said de cussin’ war Injurin’ de property,
so I reckon de walls was filtered—dcy
neber was strong.’’
“Not as strong as the language which
went through them, I suppose,’’ said the
judge.
“No, sah. Dat language sure was
strong, judge. 1 don’t see how a meas
ley man like Jim could handle it.”
The next witness was asked if she
heard the cursing.
What, me! Jedge?” she exclaimed.
“Yes, you."
“Yessir, I heard de language. John
didn’t cuss, but Betsy’s words war pow
erfula stimulatin', judge. She fairly
made de air sizzle wid cuss words. Dat
was on Mardi Gras night."
“I suppose she was getting up a py
rotechnic display of fanatlstic. words to
suit the event,” said the judge.
“I dunnon bout dat, Jedge; but she was
gettin’ up de neighbors to see what de
racket was about.”
“And Betsy got up the neighbors, who
got up the evidence—is that the Idea?”
asked the judge.
“Yes, sah.”
Anoter witness said he was going home
from work about 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. That he heard words in passing
by, bu<t that he passed them by on the
other side and did not know what kind
of words they were.
“Do you know anything?” asked the
judge.
“No, sah; nuffin’.”
The defendant, John, took the stand
and said he did not use any bad lan
guage. There was none left to use when
Betsy was around. That he had been
arrested ou>t of spite. That as a moral
man he was out of sight, was sorry he
was not out of sight on Friday night,
when arrested, but Friday was always
an unlucky day for him.
Betsy said that a lady came to her
house that night and asked her not to
cuss so loud as she disturbed the neigh
borhood. “I said ’Excuse me, an’ I will
cuss in a different key. I did not know
I was on such a high plane.’ 1 am
always willin’ ter be accommodating,
Judge, an’ I can cuss In one key as well
as another.'*
"How would the turnkey suit you?"
asked the Judge.
Defendant’s lawyer said that the ques
tion the Judge had to decide was one of
veracity.
"I thought it w'as a .question of guilt,"
said the Judge.
"No sir, it is a question of spleen," said
the attorney, "and if your Honor finds
the defendant guilty it will establish a
bad precedent in allowing a neighbor to
run here and have people arrested out
of spite."
"The precedent of having people ar
rested and brought here has already been
established," said the Judge. "People
have been arrested out of spite from time
out of mnid. I ought to find these de
fendants guilty of malicious mischief as
well as disorderly conduct. Tenants
should not batter a weak wall with strong
words. J w'ill fine each $6 and costs.
Pay the cashier, please."
What Hit Mollie McGuire.
"H. Garnet," said the Judge, f see
you are charged with assault and bat
tery on Mattie McGuire. What do you
say?"
"I was justified in the assault, Judge,
for she cussed me too much. She overdid
it. I can stand my share of cussin’ but
I draw the line somewhere."
' You seem to have drawn the line
across Mattie’s forehead," said the Judge,
"judging from her appearance. Who put
that mark on you, Mattie?" asked the
Judge.
"eH di’ d.shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqj eem
"He u.~, said Mattie, pointing to the
defendant. "He said I w’ould be more
valuable with it as it looked like a dollar
mark.”
"It looks like more money than that,"
said the Judge, "but proceed with the
evidence.’"
Mattie then took the stand and stated
that she and a few friends were having
a little sociable and that the defendant
tried to come to the entertainment. She
did not know’ him—merely had a long
distance telephone speaking acquaintance
with him. That he called at the house
but she begged to be excused and would
not let him In. "He called me up, Judge,
but I called him down. He then pushed
in through the door and hit me in the
eye. He afterward made an effort to keep
me out of court, but the effect was not
as heroic as the blow."
"Wasn’t that eye black before the de
fendant hit it?" asked the defendant’s
attorney.
"No sir, it was the other eye."
A physician here testified that he was
sent for to treat the eye and that when
he examined it he found all the symp
toms necessary to show that some one
had hit - er in the eye.
The defendant's attorney here intimated
that the defense would be that the prose
cutor had had too much ;■< • and had
fallen and hit her eye on an umbrella
stand. j
“Was the prosecutor sober when you
fixed her eye?” he asked of the phy
sician.
The doctor scratched his head and
thought awhile and finally said that as
far as he could see he thought she
was.
“How far could you see? Did you
have on your glasses?”
“Yes sir, 1 had on glasses. I could sec
through them. They are about an eighth
of an inch thick.”
“You say she was sober? Is it not pos
sible that the lick she received may have
knocked her sober?”
“No, sir.” said the doctor, emphatically.

“No lick is sufficient to knock the liquor
out of her or anybody else.
Another witness said that she was at
the sociable and that the defendant was
there, too. That he and Mollie fell out
then he hit her in the eye and she fell
down. That the blow almost killed Mol
lie and shattered an umbrella stand on
the floor.
Another witness said that the defend
ant did not strike her with his hands;
that she was watching his hands because
he was rolling a cigarette; that she was
positive he did not strike her with the
cigarette.
“Was he rolling a ball as well as a
cigarette?” asked the udge.
“No, sir.”
“He was like a clock, eh? His hands
moved, but something else did the strik
ing?”
“Yes, sir.”
Another witness said her name was
Rose.
“What kind of a rose?" asked the
judge.
“I’m a white rose,” she said.
“You do look a trifle pale,” said the
judge. “Tell us what you know. The
defendant claims he struck Mollie be
cause she over-cussed him. Did you
hear any bad language?”
“No, sir. I didn’t hear any.”
“She’s deaf, Judge," said the defendant.
“Well, let us hear from you,” said the
judge. •
The defendant said that he struck Mol
lie and she fell against an umbrella stand
which cut her head; that she got too gay
with him; that he was invited to the
sociable and had as much right there
as she; that he read her a lecture by
striking her with his open hand.
“It would have been better, I think, if
you had read from an open book,” said
fhe judges.
The prosecutor’s lawyer said he did not
desire to take up time in argument.
“Time is valuable,” said the judge.
“I don’t see why you don’t want to take
it; most lawyers do.”
The defendant’s lawyer said the sym
pathies of mankind rushed toward a
woman, but he hoped the judge would
give her justice.
“I am too merciful for that,” said the
judge.
“It w'ould be folly to deny,” continued
the lawyer, “that there had been a strik
ing.”
“I think so. too,” said the judge. “I
have been struck by that part of the ev
idence.”
“These parties,” said the lawyer, “were
all full of alcohol.”
They were evidently not full of good
nature or the milk of human kindness,”
slid the judge.
“While I don’t say that the defendant
should not be fined,” said his lawyer, "I
do hope it will not be enough to founder
him.”
“It is impossible to perceive the exact
truth,” said the prosecutor’s lawyer,
“amid the fumes of alcohol and sulphur
which cling to the testimony. The de
fendant's theory of an umbrella stand
cuts no ice in this case because it did
not cut Mollie McGuire. She was struck
by the defendant without provocation.”
“I thought it happened within doors,”
said the judge. “At any rate, there is
evidence which authorizes me in fining
him $26. This batting people in the eye
when baseball is not in season, has got
