Delmas to Retain Charge.
New York, Feb. 18. —Late last night
U was stated that through the inter
cession of Mrs. William Thaw, moth
er of Harry K. Thaw, the dissension
between counsel which Saturday
threatened the disruption of theforces
c 1 the defence, the California lawyer,
Delmas, the California lawyer, will

asked to withdraw, in the case of
Harry K. Thaw, are without founda
tion and absolutely false. I will be

THOROUGHLY RELIABLE.
If ever there was a reliable and
safe remedy it is that old and famous
piaster —Alicock's. It has been
in use for sixty years, and it is as
popular today as ever,, and we doubt if
there :s a civilized community on the
face of the globe where this wonderful
pain reliever can be found. In the se
lection o ehnitfcmi'wymfwfwymfwy
loctlon of the ingredients and in their
ture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest
standard of excelenoe, and so pure and
simple are the ingredients that even
a child can use them.
Alicock's are the original and gen
uine pcrous plasters and are sold by
Druggists in every part of the civiliz
ed world.

Ministerial Association of the North-
west.- at an anti-Mormon mass meet
ing, which was held at the Metropoli
tan Memorial Methodist Episcopal

Gen devoted most of his speech to
reviewing the minority report sub
mitted to the Senate in the Smoot
case and declared the stand
:aken by Senator Knox, of Pennsyl

than a plea to'the American people
to acquiesce in the polygamous
practice in Utah.
Dr. Paden presented the Gentile
side of the Moi .n controversy.

OLD SORES
BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
■Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and
healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or sonic old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body. The place grows ted and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
uleer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can
