WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Last year at this time I suffered
with a tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse and worse, un-
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered the
torments of the damned, and I had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
I was as sore as could be, and until I
suffered excruciating pains. I did not
know what it was, and resorted to a
number of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that I would also use Cuticura Oint-
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and very
soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now I am
ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem-
edies to any one who Buffers as did your
obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger,

Decision of Attorney General's
Department on Question of Ex
piration of Poll Tax Receipt.
"BEFORE FEBRUARY 1
PRECEDING ELECTION"
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 28.—Assistant At-
torney General W. K. Hawkins today
rendered an opinion on the question of
when a poll tax receipt expires. In an-
swer to the question; "In order to be
entitled to vote In the primary election
of Jan. 6, must a voter who Is otherwise
qualified have then already paid his poll
tax for the year 1900, or will payment by
him of his poll tax for the year 1905,
prior to Feb, 1, 1906, bo sufficient?" Mr.
Hawkins replies;
"If the voter be otherwise qualified,
payment by him prior to Feb. 1, 1906 of
his poll tax for the year 1905 will entitle
him to vote in said primary election."
Sections 1 and 2, chapter 11, of the gen-
eral laws passed by the special session
of _ the Twenty-ninth Legislature (acts
190;>, page 520), commonly known as the
Terrell election law are quoted, and Mr.
Hawkins continues;
"Under the laws of this State either
ad valorem taxes or poll taxes may bo
paid during the current calendar year
from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1, or, if tne tax-
payer so elects, they may be paid dur-
ing the month of January next follow-
ing; but In no instance does the law re-
quire payment of either ad valorem or
I»<'il taxes in advance. The requirement
ol the election law is that the voter who
is subject to payment of a poll tax 'shall
have paid said tax before he offers to
vote at any election In this State,' and
that he shall 'hold a receipt showing
the payment of his poll tax before the
first day of February next preceding
such election.' Payment of such poll
tax before the first day of February
entitles the voter, who is otherwise dis-
qualified, to vote in any election which
may be held prior to Feb. 1 of the next
following year.
"Consequently a voter who is otherwise
qualified to vote in the primary election
to be held in Travis County on Jan. 5,
1907, will not, under the law, be required
to have or to present any poll tax re-
ceipt save and except the poll tax re-
ceipt which he received upon payment
by him prior to Feb. 1, 1906, of his poll
tax for the year 1906."

REFORMED BUMS.
Occupy the Pulpit in a Fashionable
Fifth Avenue Church.
The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas,
the church of Helen Gould and Mrs.
Russel Sage, was filled with men and
women of wealth and social prestige last
night to listen to the story of the gospel
from the lips of the converted Bowery
bums.
It came, a curious and critical congre-
gation, prepared to be shocked rather
than thrilled. It bat in silent wonder
througu the most impressive religious
service ever held in the siiadow of Mil-
lionaires' Row and went home amazed by
the power of men's testimony to hold
spellbound this ultra-conservative church
of Fifth Avenue.
When the Rev. Donald Sage Mackay
announced that he had invited the con-
verts of the Jerry McAuley Mission, No.
31 Water Street, to aid him in conduct-
ing a revival, tne officers of his cnurch
were alarmed—to put it mildly. There
were mental pictures of panhandlers and
tramps, offensive to the eye and ear and
every sensibility of this congregation of
polite society, proclaiming religion ram-
pant amid loud aniens and hallelujahs.
Dr. Mackay had to promise that there
would be "nothing sensational" before
he received any support for his experi-
ment.
There was "nothing sensational," unless
it was the deep impression made by the
former outcasts of the Bowery and the '
enthusiasm with which Dr. Mackay's
parishioners crowded about him at the
»lose of the services and asked him that
the work go on. An offering was taken
for the benefit of the Jerry McAuley
Mission, and there were more greenbacks
on the plates than the Bowery Mission
sees in a year.
John H. Wyburn, superintendent of the
Jerry McAuley Mission, was introduced
as "a child of the mission'' and successor
of "that apostle of God, Samuel H. Har-
dey." "You wouldn't take me for an
ex-tank," said Mr. Wyburn, "but one
thing that God does is to remove the
marks of sin from our faces. This aft-
ernoon a man in the mission hesitated
to come to the altar because he had a
bottle of whiskey In his pocket. He went
out and threw away the whiskey arid
then came back and was saved. 1 didn't
have a bottle in my pocket when 1 went
Into the Jerry McAuley Mission, but I
was full clear up to the neck."
Mr. Wyburn then related the story of
his fall from a prosperous business man
to an outcast. He took to drink when
trouble came. A friend sent him to Su-
perintendent Hadley of the mission, and
Wyburn went, hoping to borrow $10 to
buy more drink Beastly drunk, his
heart was touched, and from that day
he had had no more desire to drink. He
reformed, prospered in business and de-
voted his time to Having others.
Joseph A. Rafter, prosperous appear-
ing, and as fnr from the Fifth Avenue
conception of a Bowery burn as was Su-
perintendent Wyburn, said that on Oct.
0, 1906, he was an outcast. The world
had shut the door and left him on the
outside. He had drunk for twenty-one
years, until he had lost his friends, his
wife and everything man holds dear.
That day a Bowery saloon proprietor
having got all his money, kicked him
out as a disgrace to the place.
"Then I took an Inventory of myself,"
he said, "and went down to the East
River to end it all. A watchman drove
me away. I stood all day across the
street from the Jerry McAuley Mission.
A young man. a cripple at that, said
I appeared to be in trouble and gave me
a nickel, telling me to buy something to
eat and come to the mission."
Rafter slept in a nark that night, went
to the Jerry McAuley the next evening,
and was converted. He never cared to
drink after that, and now he Is fore-
man of a big printing house, reunited
to his family, and working to save other
drunkards.
The deepest impression was made by
the story of Tom Farmer, janitor of
the mission. He confessed having served
In four State penitentiaries, the last time
eighteen months In solitary confinement.
"In the twinkling of an eye God changed
me," he snid, his voice trembling, "and
a new desire came into my life to tell
other poor men and women what God
can do for them "
Thomas C. Millerlck, now In Wall
Street, was Introduced as a man who
might be living In Fifth Avenue, instead
of visiting there, had he left drink
alone. Millerlck told of his fall through
drink in the financial district years ago.
He became an outcast and was reclaimed
by the mission.—New York World.
OUTRAGES BY
NEGRO TROOPS
STIR EL RENO
Laundryman Is Murderously At*
tacked by Black Ruffian in
Full Army Uniform.
MAJOR PENROSE WILL
NOT DISCUSS CRIMES
EL* RENO, Okla., Dec. 28.—Resisting an
attempted hold-up in his laundry at 8:30
o'clock, L.ee Sung, a Chinaman, was shot
and dangerously wounded by a negro
who wore the uniform of the United
States Army. The assailant escaped.
Soldiers from Fort Reno, the Sheriff's
posse, the police and many citizens are
searching for him.
The numerous outrages perpetrated by
negroes believed to be discharged soldiers
of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, have
aroused public sentiment to an Intense
degree.
The negro was dressed in the full uni-
form of the United States Army, but it
is not known whether he is a member of
the negro troops now stationed at Fort
Reno or one of the discharged soldiers.
Some of those dismissed for participation
in the Brownsvillo riots carried their
uniforms away with them at the time of
their discharge.
After wounding the Chinaman, the ne-
gro ran from the laundry towards the
outskirts of the town, but it is believed
by the searchers he is hiding in this vi-
cinity.
Major Penrose, commander at Fort
Reno, when asked what action he had
taken and whether the roll of the troops
at the fort had been called, refused to
discuss the case.
"I am getting sick of this business," he
said "Every time a crime is committed
it is laid to the negro soldiers. I won't
tell anything about what has been done
further than to say that wo are doing all
wo can to aid in capturing the guilty
persons."
EL RENO IS EXCITED.
Major Penrose Said to Have Clew to

Mr. Jecklyns had just received from his
youngest son, who was In his first year
at college, a telegram to this effect:
"Dear Father—I am about to take up a
new study. Please send me $25 to pay for
the outfit."
He answered it at once in this wise:
"Dear John—What is the study?"
To the query came this rejoinder:
"Dear Father—It is golf."—Youth's

ED RENO, Nev., Dec. 28.—Major Pen-
rose, commander at Fort Reno, tonight
refused to make any statement regarding
a report that he has a clew to the iden-
tity and whereabouts of the person, be-
lieved to be a discharged soldier of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry, who shot and seri-
ously wounded Capt. Edgar B. Macklin
a week ago. It is believed here, however,
that he has secured definite information
and that the accused will be in custody
800X1.
Major Penrose said that Cnptaln Mack-
lin's condition is showing much improve-
ment, though it probably will require
many weeks to re.^ore his health.
Ill-concealed excitement and intense
racial feeling still prevails here over tho
assault upon Mrs. T. S. Clifford-, wife
of a prominent physician, by a negro
yesterday. While Major Penrose declines
to discuss the affair, it is understood
that all of the regulars have been ac-
counted for and that the insult was given
either by a discharged soldier or a negro
civilian ' who might have purchased a
cast-off uniform. It lsv understood ar-
rests aro to be made soon, but that it is
porslble that the fact may be kept secret
in order to avoid probable mob violence.

"T HE UN IT E D STAT EsT HIS."
A Senator's Idea of the Presidential
Form of Expression.
From the staid Committee on Revision
of the Laws, now at work in the Capitol,
comes the first of those stories "In lighter
vein" which from time to time give
Washington excuse to smile. The faot
that tho first of the vintage of the win-
ter is "on the President" has not tended
to make the snicker less audible.
They were discussing the perennial
question of the plurality or singularity of
the phrase "United States of America. '
Division arose, as ever. There were those
who favored "the United States in its en-
tirety," and others who demanded "in
their entirety." The "its" and the "theirs"
were at it hammer and tongs, and one
diwtlnguished Representative was warmly
defending the collective singular view of
the case.
"The idea of tho United States as a
unity is the universal one," he declared,
"and I think the time has come to drop
plural pronouns and verb forms. Not
'the United States, their Interests, navy,
army, law. &c.,' but 'the United States,
its interests, navy, army, law,' and the
like.
"And," he concluded, in a nothlng-
more-to-be-sald tone, "I believe the Presi-
dent favors this view."
"H-h-m-m," broke in a Senator, "may-
be so, but I thought Mr. Roosevelt wis
committed to the United States, his,'
'the United States, him, &c.' I may be
wrong."
There was laughter ranging from Dem-
ocratic guffaws to discreet Republican
gurgles. — Washington Dispatch to the
New York Times.
-O
I'll Hang My Harp on a Willow Tree.
I'll hang my harp on a willow tree,
I'll off to the wars again,
My peaceful home has no charms for me,
The battle field no pain;
The lady I love will soon be a bride,
With a diadem on her brow,
O! why did she flatter my boyish pride?
She's going to leave me now.
She took me away from my warlike lord.
And gave me a silken suit.
I thought no more of my master's sword,
When I played on my lady's lute;
She seemed to think me a boy above,
Her pages of low degree;
O! had I but loved with boyish love.
It would have been better for me.
I'll hide In my breast every selfish care,
And flush my pale cheeks with wine;
The blessings are waiting the bridal pair;
I'll hasten to give them mine.
I'll dance and sing, though my heart will
break;
I'll join in the festive strain;
And if f survive it I'll mount my steed
And be off to the wars again.
But one golden tress of her hair I'll twine
In my helmet's sable plume,
And then on the field of Palestine
I'll seek an early doom;
And if oy the Saracen's hand I fall,
'Mid the noble and the brave,
A tear from my lady love Is all
I ask for the warrior's grave.

To Congress.
Hail, body grand,
Within whose hand
The safety of the Nation Is!
You've met once more'
To reassure
The people that you know your biz,
And they know It because
They see it in your laws.
By gosh!
You never Josh
The People, do you? Nit. ^
They're it.
You are their servants,
Their vassals, their slaves,
First at their cradles
And last at their graves.
Hay,
Ain't you the hay,
The oats, and the corn,
The mule and the cotton,
The hoof and the horn?
Well, we guess
Yes.
And Labor's friend
Without end?
Hooray
For this happy day!
Oh, you are great
To legislate,
And tho' sometimes the laws you make
Don't do much good,
By heck they would
If Capital had less at stake.
What?
Shut up on that rot?
All right, all right.
We're tight
On that,
Now, glory be to Congress,
To Solons low and high..
Who never touch a crumb of bread
When they can live on pie!
Say, pards,
Here's our regards;
You ain't on the blink,
We don't think.
—W. J. L. in New York World.

ARE FRESH EGGS POISONOUS?
French Writer Says They Sometimes
Are, and Prescribes a Remedy.
That many people are poisoned by
egKs, and not by spoiled eggs only, but
often by those that are freshly laid and
apparently good, is asserted by Dr. Andre
le Coq, a French chemist, says the Liter-
ary Digest. Numerous cases of poison-
ing due to eclairs, or cream cakes, have
occurred recently In Paris, and it was in
the course of an investigation of these
that Dr. le Coq came to the conclusion
that the toxic action was always the
fault of the eggs in the custard, never of
mineral poison introduced accidentally or
ot the other ingredients of the cream.
Fresh eggs, he asserts, often become in-
fected before they are laid. Hays the
Revue Scientifique, which derives its in-
formation from Dr. le Coq's article In the
Bulletin Commercial de la Pharraacie
(Paris, July):
"The white plays a more Important
part than the yolk and is generally at
fault when the poisoning is due to fresh
eggs, since It Is commonly beaten up raw,
while the yolk is sterilized by cooking.
Tfee microbes In it find in the sugar,
milk and gelatin of the custard an ex-
tremely favorable culture-medium.
"The yolk does Its work when the poi-
soning Is due to decomposed eggs, for
cooking cannot destroy the toxins and
ptomains of putrefaction.
'.'Chemical analysis shows the pres-
ence, In the poisonous cakeg or in the
bodies of their victims, of alkaloldal sub-
stances not identifiable with any hitherto
known, but as these analyses have been
made after a considerable lapse of time,
it cannot be positively affirmed that theso
toxins are not simply due to putrefaction.
"To guard against poisoning of this
kind it is simply necessary to cook all
parts of the egg, especially the white, in
making the cream, prolonging the pro-
cess sufficiently to insure perfect steril-
ization."—Chicago Record-Herald.

"Thackeray probably thought himself
original when he produced a novel with-
out a hero."
"Well, can you beat him?"
"Easy; a novel without a conserva-

A CONSTANT ANNOYANCE.

It is the work of the kidneys to keep

poisons, but when the kidneys are sick,
and not doing their duty, the uric acid

ache. dlzry spells; makes you languid,
unfit for work, and Inclined to worry
over trifles. Besides, there Is nothing
moro annoying than a bad back, and
