Depressed and dishcartCncd, 1 retarned to WIlmington, thought to die. One morning while reading the Daily Star of this city my eye caught the sentence, "I was cured of can. cer by S. s. S." This gave me hope, and 1 sent at once to the drug store and procured a bottle. I began to feel better from the start. and by the time had taken three bottles the cancer began to heal. and now .ny nose is well, and has been for two years, and l attend to business every day. am tronb- led little sometime with catarrh, otherwise my health is good.

wRECKED In THE ARCTIC.
"A Dung salt Laker Leaves Home
and Has a Thrilling Ex-
perience.r .r5-. AZ, %,

Peter Robinson, young man between
% and so years OF age, left his home in
this city about eighteen months ago with.
out saying where or why he was going.
From that day to this the distracted fam
lily here have never received a line from
him, nor heard a word as to his where
abouts. For some time past he had been
looked upon as dead, although his rela-
tives have chung strangely to hope that
he would some day turn up, without
knowing why they harbored such an
apparently inconsistent feeling,
Yesterday their hearts were made glad
by the receipt of 4 long letter from the
long lost son, in which he recites his ex-
periences of the past year and half.
The letter is dated San Francisco, where
he had just been put off by a whaling
vessel from the Arctic Ocean. He gives
a thrilling account of his being wrecked
in that body of water on the 24th day of
last May, when twenty-five of the crew
were drowned. He with two others
drifted about on fragments of the wreck
for thirty-siX; hours, when they were
picked up by another whaling vessel
the one on which he came to port. He
was of course detained out at sea during
the cruise of the vessel, and will reach
home in about two weeks after, getting
his business settled up. His family are
delighted and look forward to the meet
ing with much pleasures. /

The Penalty Fit the Crime.

George Q. Cannon, ex-Delegate to Con
gress, and one of the leaders of the Nor
mon church, is booked for martyrdom in
spite of his heroic efforts to escape the
honor of suffering ior the faith. About
a year ago he was indicted under the Ed
munds act for polygamous practices, and
went into hiding. He hid SO we'll that
the officers have sought him vainlv, in
| Utah. whore he rnmainad until a reward
OF $500 was offered for his capture. Then
he started for Mexico. But he only got
as Tar as Humboldt House, an isolated
station In Nevada. A bride of So, 600 was
refused by the Sheriff who caught him.
and the eminent Saint is now in Jail at
Winnemucca, whence he. will be
taken to Salt Lake. The Mormons
cannot stand this sort of warfare for
ever. When the chief men of the
church, for fear of a six months
term OF imprisonment, flee from their
families and business, it is pretty appar-
ent that the most effective weapon that
could be placed in the hands of the law
would be an increase of the penalty for
polygamy. District Attorney Dickson,
OF Utah, In an interview published in the
!'ost some time ago, gave it as his opin-
ION that if the punishment OF three wears
IN the penltentiary were provided, instead
OF malt year, the polygamists would
speedily capitulate; and we think with
MN. This amendment would be far
SIMPLER, and in every way less objection
able, than the new scheme proposed by
senator Edmunds of turning the financial
affairs OF the Mormon Church over to a
board OF non Mormon trustees, appoint
ed by the Government.-S. r. Post. 18Th

THE POLYGAMY COUNT QUAsHED.
HHt for Unlawful COhaDitati"
r. Due Will Go Through the
Usual Course.

OF. Due, the florist, was arragned in
court this morning on dual charge OF
polygamy and unlawful cohabitatlon' IL
had been discovered by the prosecuting
attorney that the charge OF polygamy
could not be made to stick, because OF
the first wife having been married in
Europe, and the unforeseen absence OF
some very material facts necessary
to establish case. In view OF this it
had been agreed between the Prosecuting
Attorney and the defendant, through his
lawyer, that if it suited the court to with
draw the first charge, or preferably in
struct the jury to render verdict of n! not
guilty on it, defendant would plead guilty
to the second Indictment, which was one
of unlawful cohabitation. These points
were all accepted and agreed upon, and
the court disposed OF the case accord
ingly, and March 1st was appointed for
passing sentence.

ANOTHER PROMISE TO OBEY.
Joseph Sfsam Explains to the Judge
and Gets Off With n $500 Fine.

= . e
Josesh H. Sisanl, the individual fount
guilty of unlawful cohabitation last week
was arraigned in court this morning fol
sentence. On motion of Mr.. Dickson, the
other case against the accused was con
tinued for the term.
The Judge called Sisam up and asked
him if he we're aware that he had been
found guilty OF unlawful cohabitation,
and that to-day was set for passing his
sentence.
II don't see how they could, for Pye
only got one wife, mutteringly inter-
rupted Sisanl..
GLOW long have YOU been living with
only one wife ?" asked the Judge.
"For eight and a half months, ,, was
the answer.
'Then how long had you been living
with two wives, prior to this?"
About eight years, off and on. -
What has become OF your other wife ?"
''Oh, she has married another man.
Are your intentions for the future to
obey and live according to the law ?''
Eyes, sir"
What is your condition with respect
to being able to pay a fine; have you any
mo, sir; | haven't got anything"
"Well, in consideration of your inten-
tons and your circumstances, the court
will impose fine Of 5000 and costs, and
you will stand committed until the
is paid"
Sisam walked out in company with
Deputy Hurd, and was taken care of in
the Marshal's office until later in the day,
when he was taken out to augment the
force at Warden BOWS hospitable ranch.

friends of George @. Cannon regarding
what they term "the exorbitant balls

OF these remarks made reference
to "a law and precedent, and a
DEMOCRAT reporter was led to call
on Prosecuting Attorney Dickson to
learn what that gentlemans grounds
were Tor having the bail placed SO high.
vi course the subject was pretty thor
oughly discussed at the time of fixing the
ponds, but it was thought probable that
Mr.. Dickson might have something fur
ther to say on the matter. He assured
the reporter that the bonds in this case
mad been placed at the figure named in
perfect. confidence that Mr.. Cannon was
aoie TO furnish the amount. and that
