RushTille, And, Nov. 25. One of the most disastrous country fires in this county in many years destroyed the barn on the Ellison farm six miles from here Monday night. Eleven head of horses perished. Among them was the finest brood mare In the county. The cause is attributed to spontaneous combustion in fodder. If It Disappears, It's Eczema. How to Tell Whether a Skin . Affection is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to W. H. Sudhoff's or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents' worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days it may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections. Those who will write to the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty- fifth Street, New York, can secure, by mail free of charge, a supply sufficient to cure a small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in twentyfour hours. - A MEDF0RD STORY. Legend of th Phantom Ship and Iti Mad Pirate Captain. The town of Medford, Mass., has a legend of a phantom ship beside which the Flying Dutchman is only a peaceful merchantman. The Medford story runs that a ship laden with rum and gold and silver bars put out from that place in the days when the Spanish main was infested with pirates. II was headed for a West Indian port, but got Into the doldrums and was sc long becalmed that water and provisions gave out, and all hands perished cf thirst and starvation. When the wind came up again the ship sailed way with her ghastly crew, was seen by a buccaneer, chased and .overhauled. The pirate captain made fast to hit prize without firing a single shot, and, attributing the vessel's nonresistanc to fear or lack of arms, he was th first man to leap on board. But the rope with which the captured ship had been carelessly lashed to his own parted under the strain of the seaway, . and be found himself rapidly borne away from his comrades on what he soon discovered to be a floating coffin. stiff breeze filled the sails of the derelict, and before his own vessel could overtake it night descended on the ocean, and the pursuing ship lost sight of It altogether. Left alone In pitch darkness on the grewsome craft, the pirate went mad with terror and, eiiing the wheel, raced away before the wind and, according to the legend, , was condemned to range the seas forever thus in command of his horrible prize. Woe to the ship that encountered It i scudding along by moonlight or in the lightning's glare, manned by skeletons and steered by a shouting, gesticulating madman, and when on several occasions it was sighted in the fog off Medford it was considered as the herald of storm and disaster and the loss of raajiT ships. New York Press. Recent balloon observations have, jeaya the "University Correspondent, ahcrvm that bacteria are not absent from the upper air, as has often been supposed. At three miles exposed gelatins plates caught abundant germs, mostly pigmented, the pigment pro bably forming a protection against ultra-violet rays and cold. Up to about 1,600 feet there was little fall ;ing off in the number of bacteria about 400 per cubic foot of air. MCA THE PALACE S CENTS

This was commented upon by the critic for the San Francisco Call, who said in his first review of the play "That a play, or an allegory, as frank ly religious as a sermon and twice as effective, should suffice in these days of musical comedy, show girls and hi larious vaudeville to crowd the the ater with fashionables; that it should hold them breathless for times, and interested always; that it could be, in fact, a huge theatrical success, seems a miracle as great, almost, as those

which Scripture tells us of. Yet; the fact is the big Van Ness theater was nearly filled last night it will be filled tonight by a throng made up of all classes and conditions of society, and the throng felt the measure and force of the truths and yielded to the spell the truths which spell and have been at work ever since Bethelhem's star shone above the Babe." "The First Violin" Gennett. The Novel: "The sweetest story ever told" really expresses the sentiment one feels when closing the book upon the last chapter of "The First Violin." For twenty years, this delightful story has charmed many thousands of readers and holds the worlds record as having the-largest sale of any book ever written. The Play: The same delightful story is now set forth as a music drama and all the same . sympathetic, amusing and interesting characters drawn, by Jessie; Fothergill become moving and speaking individuals. The company enacting this play have'been carefully selected that each might fulfill the ideal drawn by the author. Miss Ella May Fitch heads the cast, lending to the role of the heroine her talent as a singer. The play is -amusing, full of good music, good singing and tells a dramatic story. The appearance of this attraction. isaet for November 28 matinee and night. "A Bunch of Keys" Gennett. Hoyfs "A Bunch of Keys" Is regarded among the most important bookings of the season and it is needless to say that its appearance here at the Gennett theater next Monday November 30, is being looked forward to with no small degree of delight, inasmuch as this funniest of all farces set to music has always proved a welcome visitor. In pursuance with, an established policy "A Bunch of Keys" has been subjected to all manner of revision so as to fit the very latest ideas of what constitutes a real musical comedy, and besides special care has been exercised in order that the company presenting it shall be In every particular more than equal to the smallest requirements. ' Russells are Good. The act of Nick and Lida Russell, at the New Phillips this week is an especially attractive one for two reasons. One is the, skill of Nick as a vaudeville pianist. He draws the shades on any thing in his line seen or heard here for a long time. The other is the attractiveness of Lida. She is a woman who is blessed with good looks, and can beside that demain herself with activity and grace. She is also a good singer. The act is one of the best at the house this season. American lake shipyards launched fifty-six vessels in 1907, of which forty were bulk freighters, three package freighters, one passenger steamer, one salvage steamer, one lighter, one mail boat, five tugs and four scows. Only one vessel, a tug. was built In Chicago, says the Ssientific American, but eight freighters and two package freighters were built In Detroit. There are on the stocks, for 1908 de livery, twenty-four freighters, against forty-five at the beglning of 1907. Mr. Roy Lacey Sings 'The Sweetest Story Ever, Told A New Feature THE PALACE 5 CENTS

COUNTY LOCAL OPTION FIGHT (Continued From Page One.) tive policy of the league for the com ing year was carried. So it will seem from this that the saloon keepers and the brewers are to have the time of their lives in the next couple of months. The position taken by the Anti-Saloon leaders is that if elections are held before the legislature convenes the results will so popularize the county local option law that the legislature will not dare to repeal it. Of course, they may be off in their calculations, for there la an unmistakable demand from both republicans and democrats for the re peal of the county option law. This of course, has for its object a rebuke to Governor Hanly and Hanlyism a3 anything else, but just the same the demand exists. Timothy Nicholson, of Richmond, was re-elected president of the AntiSaloon league for the next year. The Prohibition State committee met yesterday also, but there was no bond of love noticed between it and the Anti-Saloon league meeting. In fact, the Prohibitionists said things about the other crowd. They charged that the Anti-Saloon league is now purely a political organization, an adjunct to one of the old parties, and that its daw of usefulness is at an end. The Prohibitionists decided to assist in the holding of county local option elections, the idea being that local option is a step toward absolute prohibition. This is a new stand for the prohibitionists. Heretofore they have always opposed local option as a compromise with the rum demon a mere subterfuge but they seem to have changed their notion. Argue AgaTlnst Kern. After all, the United States senatorship fight may develope into a scrap between the city of Indianapolis and the rest of the state. If it does it will mean a fight between John W. Kern on the one side and all the outside influences on the other side. Some of the up-state and down-stat candidates are using the argument against Kern that be is from Marion county, and that Marion county al ways wants to hog everything. They point out that not only does Kern want to be senator, but that there are Indianapolis candidates for nearly ev ery other job that Governor-elect Mar shall will have to fill. Just how ef fectlve this line of argument will be, cannot be told now, but it is going on There is a belief among the wise heads, however, that Kern will have all the way from twenty-five to thir ty-five votes in the democratic caucus when it comes time to line up and vote for United States senator. Slack, they say, will have from fifteen to number. The other votes will be dl vided among the other candidates, but no one seems able to figure out how they will stand. It was learned last night that the Third congressional district will oi vide Its vote almost enevly between Slack and Shiveley. Shiveley will al so get some votes In other parts of the southern end of the state. But the senatorial fight is almost at a standstill, and will probably remain that way for another week. At the national suffrage convention recently held In Buffalo one woman contributed ?10,000 to the cause. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
