REV. 7. w. HILL
Pastor Methodist Church, Accord, n.
r., says cancerous diseases
cnn he s.ured

AcC0RD. n; Y:-under the old school method it
was believed that any diseases Of cancerous growth
could never be cured. The surgeons knife was
resorted to- but the old trouble was sure to break
out again.
:, Since the discovery of DR.: Kennedys Favorite
Kemedy all this has been ohanged-the action of
Favorite Remedy upon the system leaves no trace
OF poison In the blood, the seeds of disease are
expelled and lost health restored.
A notable case of the efficacy of DR.. David Ken
Eedys Favorite Remedy is that Of the Rev. l. W
Hill OF this town Some years ago he was suffer
ing with cancer of long standing his lip, and
finally concluded to have 1t removed. In speaking
OF his case, Pastor Hill said: About three weeks
previous to having the operation performed pur-
chased Dr. David Kennedys Favorite Remedy, and
continued taking 1t for time after the cancer
was removed Ten long years have passed since
Then and no trace Of the ugly thing has returned.

DR.. Kennedys Favorte Remedy as being able to

One Of our local PHYSICIANS said, in explaining
the demand for DR.. kennedy's Favorite Remedy:

The ground taken ia that the vote for gov.
ernor in New York city at the recent cleo
ton was an index of the number Of new
votes that had CINE into the republican
party at that time on both state and loca
issues
The deduction made by the signers is
that If the republican party of the state
lives up to the spirit as well as the letter
of the promises made by the party In New
York city. the people will continue to &C,
with 1t on state issues The republican
party in the legislature. to make good the
promise made by the party of New York

BROUGHT TO AN ISSUE.


I'm Venexuela.
A dispatch from Faribault, MIMI, says
that Donald Grant, a wealthy contractor
of that city, W. n. Fisher, late manager
Of the Duluth and Winnipeg railroad, and
]. A. Bowman, = Grand Rapids, Mimi,
banker, have obtained from Venezuela
concession of land at the mouth Of the
Orinoco, running los miles south, rich in
minerals. mahogany, rosewood and dye
woods. They also have the right to mine
asphalt on a small island near Trinidad.
There is a great deal more in the news
from Faribault than is indicated in the
dispatch. The concession Is in the heart
OF the territory long in dispute between
Venezuela and Great Britain, and AM
bassador Bayard for some time has vainly
strived, In accordance with resolution
recently adopted by Congress, to persuade
Great Britain to submit the whole dispute
to arbitration, Great Britain being willing
to arbitrate only beyond what Is known
as the Schomberg line. There have been
limitations that the administration, in the
event of a physical conflict over the dis
puted lands. might deem it necessary, in
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, to
follow up the moral aid it has rendered
Venezuela with more substantial and po-
tent assistance. The fact that citizens of
the United States now. by this concession,
are thrust, so to speak, between Great
Britain and the United States. considerably
increases the measure of this country's
response bility.
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minister,
when seen concerning the Faribault para
graph. said that he had no official con-
firmation oil the grant of the concession, but
added that he does not doubt its correct
ness. as it is in line with reports that
such concessions would be made.
The land included in the concession, he
said. is the vital point of conflict between
Great Britain and Venezuela. The Orinoco
is the great commercial artery of South
America, running far inland, through Vene-
zuela, Brazil and other countries.
Whoever controls the mouth of the river,
Minister Andrade said, will control this
great commerce. Great Britain has taken
possession of Punta Barina, which is to
the Orinoco what the Island Of Gibraltar
is to the Mediterranean. She has also
equipped a naval station on Trinidad ISL
and, just off the mouth. Her claims en-
brace both banks of the stream at the
mouth. It is part Of this important STRAIT
egic territory that Venezuela now grants to
United States citizens. The concession
near Trinidad Island is believed to be the
Island of Patos.
The interesting questions arise 'What
steps will Great Britain now take to as
sert her claims" and "WiH it endeavor to
prevent the United States syndicate oper-
ating its concession?"
