ANOTHER WONDERFUL GURE BY CUTICURA “1 was afflicted with psoriasis for 1“ was in patches all thirty-five years. over my body. used three cakes of Soap, six boxes Cuticura Oint~ ment, and two bottles of Cuti- cura Resolvent. I bathed with the Soap, applied the Ointment once a day, and took the Resolvent as di- rected. In Lhirti' I was completely cured, and think permanently, as it was about five years ago. ““The psoriasis first made its ance in red spots, generally forming a cirele, leaving in the center aspot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would ually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the fiesh would be ectly raw, and & light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly erust would form again in twenty-four hours. It wes worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too lopg without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching. worse at nights after etting warm in bed, or ‘warm ¥y exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. “To sum it all up, I would not go through such another ordesl of affliction for thirty-five years for the State of Kansas.

As a result the total loss to the frame building will not exceed $3000, fully covered by insurance, none of the valua- ble apparatus of the college was de- stroyed and not one student or professor received injury. The fire was confined to the very cen- {ter of the building until it was extin- | gutsheq. The students marched out | quickly, carrying with them much of the valuable papers and apparatus of the ‘cnllagr. At 11 o'clock classes were re- sumed, and but for the charred stairway nd casements there was little trace of the flames’ ravages. The water did con- siderable damage to the floors. There were, however, several moments of excitement ghortly after the fire broke | out. Dr. John 8. Knowlton, aged §1 years, one of the oldest professors connected with the college, was in the junior fresh- man laboratory in the basement and be- came confused when he heard the cry of fire.

He startéd to rescue the supposedly sleeping man, over which was a sheet, but dropped the cadaver with a shiver when its clamminess told him there was no life. FIRE STARTS IN BASEMENT. The fire started about 8 o'clock yester- 4 morning. There is some little mys- tery about its origin, but the falling of a furnace flue in the basement probably gave it a start. The buflding 1s wooden and in the cellar much trash had been allowed to accumulate. This trash quick- ly caught fire and the flames began to eat their way along the hot air pipes running through the center of the bufld- ing. They had made considerable head- | way when Dr. B. M. Dow, who was lec- turing in the auditorium on the second fioor, saw the smoke coming through the Lregister. At the same time Miss Jessie G. Inglls, an assistant in President An- w a ladder | derson’s office, ran up the stairway crying | sai@ that it would be time enough for a | the entir, | the alarm. F. H. Blynn, a student who is also serving on the police force, turned | in the call from the box at the corner of | Valencia and Fourteenth streets, Before the students had time to leave | the building Engine Company 7 was on the ground and pouring water into the flames.

The commendation won by the students for their presence of mind Auring the fire was greatly lessened by the foolish actions of a few of them after all had passed. They seemed overanxious to get their names into print and circv'ated many fake stories of rescues. They did | ot hesitate to use the names of the women of the college in these attempts to hoax the public.

N A DEADLOCK Commissioners Are Diyided on Ruef’s Plan to Eleet Drinkhouse as President POHEIM WOULD HOLD ON Present Head Combines With 0’Grady to Defeat Scheme of Mayor Schmitz’s Adviser There {s much interest in the story of the failure of the Police Commission to elect a president for the ensuing term last Wednesday night. The deadlock was inevitable. The, story concerns the desire of Abe Ruef to make Commissioner Drinkhouse president and a similar desire on the part of Commissioner Poheim to retain the presiderfcy, which he has held for nearly a year. ‘When the Schmitz administration as- sumed entire command of the municipal government on January 8 last Abe Ruefl informed The Call that Drinkhouse would be elected president of the Police Com- mission, but up to the present time his announcement has failed to come true. When President Pohelm read the news that he was to be deposed he immediately set about to lay his wires for the reten- tion of his post of honor. Poheim suc- ceeded in enlisting the support of Com- missioner O'Grady in the furtherance of his ambition, but only after Ruef had flatly told him that he (Poheim) must step down*to make room for Drinkhouse. Po- heim has even appealed to the Mayor, but the latter Las troubles of his own. Now, Commissioners Reagan and Drinkhouse have been on friendly terms for some time, and Reagan is only too anxious to see Drinkhouse become presi- dent of the commission, as it means that he (Reagan) will be let in on the secrets of that body as generally possessed by | the president of the board. The deadlock therefore consists of O'Grady and Poheim on the one side and Reagan and Drink- house on the other. If the deadlock is not broken Poheim will continue as presi- dent. $ £ The fact that Reagan has been granted a leave of absence by the Mayor to float some scheme In Denver will complicate taining the presidency, despite the decree . of Ruef that Drinkhouse must be elected. Reagan was not present at Wednesday's meeting of the commission, as he had gone to Denver. It now becomes posSible for Poheim to thwart the will of Ruef by having himself re-elected to the presi- dency of the Police Board with the vote of O'Grady in addition to his own, as Drinkhouse will now find himseif in the minority. kt is not thought that Poheim will avail hiniself of the opportunity, pre- ferring to take advantage of the deadlock Altogether the controversy is an inter- | esting one and may result in causing ad- ditional differences on the commission, be- sides the trouble over the mere election or a president. Poheim has all along been Ruef's friend, and he is deeply nettled at the. desire of his chief to displace him. It is well known that Reagan is persona | non grata with both Schmitz and Ruef, who would like to see Reagan resign, but he will not see with their eyes. Schmiiz has already ,stated that he could have Reagan's resignation if he wanted it, but the fact remains that Reagan has not as yet resignéd. In fact, Reagan got his leavé of absence, which was at first re- TWO YOUNG WOMEN AT THE COLL.

Approaching Trial of the Owners of the Carmencita Bt A et Fearing.that the Government would not be able to obtaln an unblased jury out of the present panel to try the Carmencita conspiracy cases in the United States Dis trict Court, United States District Attol ney Devlin, through his assistant, A. P. Bldck, filed a petition yesterday morning for a special venire of seventy-five name: The petition recited that all but 36 of th present panel had been excused by the court; that R. J. Tyson, one of the de- fendants, Is engaged in the insurance and shipping business at 16 California stree! ‘W. J. Woodstde, another defendant, is in the shipping and commission business at 18 California street, and W. J. Wood in the sailmaking business at 16 California | street. The petition says that the major- ity of the jurors above mentioned do busi- ness in the immedigte locality of the busi- ness carried on by the defendants. ‘“That, as your petitioner is informed and be- lieves, the majority of said jurors are so intimately acquainted in a business, social and personal sense with the defendants above named; that, while they may not be legally .disqualified from jury duty In the opinion of your petitioner it will greatly embarrass many of them to bring in a verdict of guilty against the said de- RDERS BONDS PUT ON SALE Supreme Court Directs the tate Treasurer to Get Funds to Build Seawall State Treasurer Truman Reeves must Immediately. proceed with the sale of the San Francisco seawall bonds, ac- cording to a decision rendered by the Supreme Court yesterday. The suit was brought simply ‘to make sure that the law had®been obeyed in every particu- lar, in order that no one need fear loss by investing his money in the bonds. The sale will provide ‘the necessary funds to begin- work forthwith. The proposition of rafsing $2,600,000 to extend the seawall for the purpose of facilitating business on the water front was submitted to the voters at the November election in 1904. The measure was carried by an enormous majority. In order to test the legality of the entire procedure, Treasurer Reeves declined to offer the bonds for sale. . The Harbor Commission brought suit to compel him to do so0. . The mat- ter was passed up to the Supreme Court 4s soon as possible. The objections pre- sented by the Treasurer are overruled, and a peremptory writ was issued, as asked. The $2,000,000 will suffice, according to expert calculation, to construct a fendants should the facts justify the ver- dlet.”” Judge de Haven denied the petition. He special venire should the present panel become exhausted. k& The defendants are indicted with Cap- tain Alexander McLean, the master of the notorious Carmencita, for conspiracy in fitting up the vessel for a seal fur poach- ing cruise in northern waters. The vessel obtained Mexican registry by false pre- tenses, changed her name and was seized at Victoria by the authorities with her cargo of skins and sold several months ago. McLean is belleved to be in British Columbia and thus far he has evaded ar- rest upon the indictment. The ftrial of the case has been set in the United States District Court for January 26.

G. Davis and his wife, Minnie, who were arrested at the Melrose House, on Valencia street, early yesterday morn- ing, were booked at the City Prison yesterday on a charge of felony ém- bezzlement. The complaint was sworn | to by Hugh P. Robson yesterday morn- f ing before Police Judge Conlan. The Judge fixed the bonds in each case at $25,000, or $10,000 cash bail. Prior to swearing to the complaint Robson went to the prison with his at- torney, J. J. Greeley, and made a de- mand upon Davis and his wife for the $11,000 he accuses them of embezzling. Mrs. Davis scornfully replied that she had no money belonging to Robson, whom she sneeringly referred to as “that squaw.man.” Detective Wren, who was present, retorted that shei seemed willing to go to Lake County | with the “squaw man.” She bitterly | upbraided her husband for making a statement to Captain Burnett on Wed- nesday. Davis' mother called at the prison yesterday and had a long conversation with her son and daughter-in-law. She took her grandson with her when she left. The police are using every effort to find the place where the $11,000 is deposited. — e Inside Information Is what you get in Town Talk, the breeziest and most newsy of all period- icals, Bastern or Western.
