sending out notices to some hundred de
positors who have not added Co or taken
from their deposit in the institution for
the last four years, saying to them that
if they are not heard from vith'.n an
other year their accounts will be trans
ferred to the borne bank, of which this
at Skagway is a branch.
In this conneotioo Mr. White, man
ager of the bann, makes the very inter
esting statement that these accounts
run all the way froin 50 cents to $2,800.
The last named account Is in the name
of a party whose whereabout# has benn
unknown for a long time, and only by
making extensive inquiry has the party,
a former resident, been traced. The
?coouota draw no Interest and Manager
White doe* not uniertake to account
for the circumstance of these consider
able sums of money being left so long
unemployed. There are thirty or forty
accounts in this list that run above the
hundred dollar mark. It is a law with ?
the bank, when trace of the persons
holding them is lost, or no instructions
concerning them received, to transfer
these account* at tbe end of five years
and to send notice if tbe address is
known, to the holder at the end of four
years. The sending of the notices is.
therefore, an annual event, aa the neg
lect of deposits is a continuing one
hard as it is to explain.

ing?Three Doctors' Best Efforts
Failed to Give Relief.
BUT CUTICURA WORKS
A MIRACULOUS CURE
"When my little bov was six months
old he had ezcema. The sores extended
?o quickly over the whole body that
wo at onco called in the doctor. We
then went to another doctor, but ho <
could not help him, and in our despair i
we went to n third one. Matters be
came so bad that he had regular holes in
his chceks, large enough to put a finger
into. The food had to be given with
a spoon, for his mouth was covered i
?with crusts as thick as a finger, ar.d when
ever ho opened the mouth they began
to bleed and suppurate, as did also his
?vea. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in
short the wholo body was covered over
and over. Wo had no rest by day or
night. Whenever ho was laid in his
bed, we had to pin his hands down
otherwise he would scratch his fnco and
make an open sore. I think his face
mast have itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could
help, and I had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Europe,
hoping that the sea air might cure him.
otherwise he was to bo put under good
medical care there. Hut, Lord be
blessed, matters came differently, and
we soon saw a miracle. A friend of
ours spoke about Cuticura. We made
a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment,
and Resolvent, and within ten davs or
two weeks we noticed a dccidea im
provement. Just as quickly as the
sickness had appeared it also bpgan to
disappear, and within ten weeks the
child was absolutely well, and his skin
was smooth and white as never before.
