The present great boycott and strike
fight started ut Galveston against the
Mallory line of steamers. the next step
being the discharge of Hall, at Mar
shall. Texas. The first trouble was
because the steamship company in
sisted in using their own judgment as
TO whom they should employ. The
merchants of Galveston were ordered
not 10 ship by the Mallory line, and as
they continued 10 do so, the railroads
running into Galveston were ordered
not 10 haul freight for merchants
patronizing the Mallory line; aud the
railroads declining TO submit, they
were boycottcd. Now, after months
of unaviling effort against the line the
boycott is lifted.

The possession of the wealth re-
vealed by the Globe-Democrat's list
suggests less dependence on foreign
capital for aid in local enterprises and
the more liberal investment of Kansas
money in Kansas enterprises. A great
deal of the wealth of Kansas seems to
be invested in banking. Perhaps this
is because Kansas has, in the past,
needed money more than anything
else; but it will be fortunate day for
the development of the state when
Kansas money seeks investment at

houses and the like.-Atchison Cham

An Ineurable Cured.

Feelings otthe deepest gratitude prompt me

mothers case and the consciousness that it
will do others good by bringing relief to some
poor creature tortured as she was. consent
for its publication. My mother, Mrs. Feathers
has had cancer Of the womb for many
months. Last winter the dOctsr told US il WAS
cancer and could not be cured. Five different
physicians In private practice have said the
same thing. We took her To the Wumru'S
Hospital of this city, and they Their repeated
the same story. The doctor there told Us IL
was cancer, and she must die We then took
her 10 the New York College Hospital. and
they told US the same thi x there. that she had
cancer aud could live but a short time. she
vas then carried 10 my house. where she
waited patiently the coming Of death As her
rnly relief. We saw the advertisement of the
wifi specific Co, and aS a drowning man
yrasps at a straw" We went 10 the office OF the
the physician told me 10 try II, that il would
TO no possible harm. and that il would cure
her. she had lost a great deal Of flesh and
strength, and IL seemed folly 10 give her medi-
cine in the face Of what We had been told.
However, we commenced the Use of :. :. and
Kept IL up for a month before We began 10
any improvement. From that time on her
raised from her bed. The discharge increased
so much that IL frightened Us. but W. kept on
and the cancer came away In great SiuuEhs and
Jumps. For two months now there has been
no hemOrrhage. no sign Of r discharge. Thank
tiOd. my mother is well. II anyone wishes TO
call Us or write TO US. We will b. glad To tell
them all about this miraculous cure. Wy
mother is still at my house and will be glad 10

4 Few Remarks to the Public.

We do not think there is another prepa.
ration which can bring forth such endorse
ments. We do not claim our remedy to be
q specific for all diseases. but We do know
It TO be remedy for diseases of the blood.
1t has been established beyond all doubt
that scarcely any disease can find lOdgment
with the blood in good condition. To all
these We say: II broken down in health. OF
your malady can be traced TO bad cOndi-
ton Of your blood, take our SPECIFIC an3
you will not be disappointed. Our prepss-
ton removes the accumulated poison Ut
ages from the blood, and we boldly assert
that 30 per cent. of all diseases spring from
some corrupting influence Of this, "the
fountain of all life, and We further assert
that the proper vegetable remedies are cures
for blood diseases.
We would again call your attention to the
fact that in almost every instance where
Swift's Specific was resOrteG TO. il was after
all remedies of the scientist had failed.
How much more potent the Specific would
be could man be induced to avail himself of
its powers before every other treatment
had been tried in vain" and the system I'M
pregpated with mineral posOns.
