CATHEDRAL FALLING.
Cologne. Cologne cathedral, the
glory o! tko faraous Rheniffh city, la
in a really dangerous ctato. Recent
ly several pieces of carved stone fell
to the street and passersby lmd many
narrow escapes. The central portal
of the cathedral was immediately
closed. Since then great blocks of
masonry have fallen away and more
serious damage is feared. A commit
tee of architects was summoned and
scaffolding erected. From this the
architects made an exhaustive ex
amination and discovered that the
masonry of both the chief entrance
and the south entrance is loose and
has crumbled to such an extent that

the two portals were in danger of
falling. Should this have occurred
the damage might have been enor
mous. The facades have been shored
up and the work of restoration will be
at once begun. Rain is believc-d to
have hastened the crun'ibling, but the
architects blame the German Roman
esque builders of the Thirteenth cen
tury, for the columns are found not
to be solid pillars, but pilasters or
piers. Of these at least 400 blocks
are found to be loose.
Cologne cathedral is almost as well
Itnown in the United States as in
Europe. It took over 600 years to

Miltcn Gowdy • Frequently Carried
Lincoln as a Passenger.
Bloomington. 111.—Milton W. Gow
dy, of Rock Island county, is the last
survivor of the group of men who
drove the stage coaches in Illinois
before the advent of the railroads.
He was born in Tennessee in 1533.
At. the age of 19 years lie secured em
ployment as driver with Frinfc 112;
Walker, the firm which controlled
nearly all the stage lines of Illinois
and adjoining states and had the con
tract for carrying the United States
mails.
Mr. Gowdy drove the stage for
many years between Peoria and
Springfield and frequently carried
Abraham Lincoln as a box-seat pas
senger. Mr. Gowdy was never mo
lested by robbers, although on one
occasion he hauled 5200,000 in gold
from Pekin to Peoria.
It is doubtful if even among the
railroad officials of to-day there can
be found any who possess greater
energy and executive ability than did
Prink & Walker, whose stage lines

tiers, rival stage lines were organ

business.
The old-time coach has passed

the old-time drivers, has four chil

complete, largely because of the neg
lect and apathy of the church authori
ties in the three centuries preceding
the nineteenth.. The cathedral is ac
knowledged to bo the finest piece of
Gothic architecture in the world.
There have been modern critics, who,
while conceding its beauty and term
ing it a noble and impressive example,
still declare it disappoints because the
compass had been too much for the
creative genius. The cathedral stands
on the site of a previous structure
built in 814, but burned down In the
twelfth century. In 1248 the present
cathedral was begun. The choir was
finished in 1322, the-nave in 1390 and
the south tower in 1447. Then came
centuries of neglect. In 1796 the
French army used the cathedral to
store hay in and also stripped the
leaden roofs in order to make bullets.
In 1823 an attempt was made to
renovate and complete the structure,
but little work was done until 1842,
when the work was seriously taken
in hand. The final touches were giv
en in 1880 and on October 15 of that
year the completion was celebrated
by a service at which the kaiser,
William I, was present. The building
has cost over $10,000,000. The cathe
dral is 440 feet long and the famous
spires, the highest in the world, are
528 feet. The central portal is 93 feet
high a'nd 3l feet wide and the south
portt.l 38 feet high and 18 feet wide.
These are the two portions r.t present
in imminent danger. In shape tlio cv
lli.'i'i >1 is a cruclf' rm basilica. There
are two choirs, the eastern dedicated
to St. Peter, the western to St. Mary.
Surrounding the choirs are eight
chapels. A feature of great beauty is
an external gallery around the apse.
The reputed bones of the legendary
three kings of the east are preserved
in a golden shrine in one of the chap
els, which are used as the cathedral's
treasure vaults. The chapels also con
tain the tombs of several of the arch
bishops.
The narrow, crooked streets, con
taining houses of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, have been oblit
erated from the neighborhood of the
cathedral, which now stands, reveal
ing all its beauty, in the center of a
fine, open space.
Soipe year or two ago it was hu
morously stated in the German press
that Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was ne
gotiating for the purchase of Cologne
cathedral, desiring to remove it bod
ily to the United States to take tjie
place of the Anglican cathedral of St.
John the Divine, now slowly build
ing in New York city.

BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
—Hands Pinned Down—Miracu
lous Cure by Cuticura.
"When my little toy wn six months
old, he had eczema. Mhc 3oren extenu
|el so quickly over the whole body
that wo at or.ee called in t!io doctor.
We thep went to another doctor,
but he Ojjtild not help him, and in our
despair *e went to a third one. Mat- I
ters be;amo so bad that he had regu
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be siveu with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body w«s covered over and
over. We had ho rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. I think his face must
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 Eu
rope, hoping that the sea air might ;
cure him, otherwise he was to be put I
under good medical care there. But, j
Lord be blessed, matters came differ- |
ently, 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 j
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as tho sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well, 1
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath. Presi

Your bonds will be paid .(I by the Gov
ernment at par on July i, 1907, or less than
one year from now.

bonds, due to the appointment at the present

depositaries, we are in position to pay you
for your bonds almost as much as you will
receive from the Government in principal
and interest, even though you should hold
them to maturity.
We can pay 103#, or at the rate of
5i,032.50, for a SI,OOO bond. To retain
your bonds when you can sell them at this
