of Wistonsin, has resigned the senator
thip from his state, a position to which
he was elected by the legislature last
winter. The legislature of Wiseonsin
is now in session. At the beginning of
the session the governor announced
that he would accept the senatorship
and resign as governor. He desired
tome reform legislation, howevt r, at
the hands of the legislature before he
acted. Things are not going as

TOTAL LOSS
Portland Will Prob.bly Not
Be Sire 1
The steamship Portland, ashore on
Spire rock, about five miles below
Ketchikan, will probably be a. total
loss. That is the word b-ought to
Skagway by the Amur, which arrived
last night. The passengers, most of
the crew and the mail of the Portland
were to leave for the south on the Al
Ki, which wai at Ketchikan Sunday
morning when the Amur was there.
The captain and two or three of the
crew are standing by the ship, which is
said to be breaki-.g up.
The Portland has 700 tons of ore on
board and is badly riddled from her con
tact with the rocks. Her hold is awash
with water. It is not believed by ma
riners that she can be saved.
The Portland went ashore on Spire
rock in a thick snow storm. She aras
only slightly oil her course.

RAW BLEEDING
SCALY ECZEMA

Beef Than Human Being ? Doc
tors Useless? Blessed Relief and
First Real Sleep in Weeks After
First Application, and
SPEEDY CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Words cannot describe the terri
ble eczema I suffered with. I was
almost a solid mass of sores from head
to foot, and looked
more like a piece
of raw beef than a
human being.
Blood and pus
oozed from a great
Bore on my scalp,
from under my fin
ger nails, and near
ly all over my
body, and every
hair in my head
Icii out. i coma not su uvnu,
my clothes would stick to the taw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry
out with pain. My doctor did all he
could, but X got worse and worse. I
did not think I could live, and wanted
death to end my frightful sufferings.
"My mother-in-law begged me to
try Cnticura. I said I would, but had
no hope of recovery. But oh, what
blessed relief I experienced after ap
plying Cuticura Ointment. It cooled
the bleeding and itching flesh, and
brought me the first real sleep in
weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a
burning tongue. I would bathe with
warm water and Cuticura Soap, then
apply the Ointment freely, and took
the Resolvent for the blood. Soon the
sores stopped running, the flesh began
to heal my hair started to grow, and
i in a short time I was completely
cured. If any one doubts this, tell
them to write to me. ? Mrs.Wm. Hunt,
