day found that q black bear had been
trapped. The skin was no good. how
ever, as grizzly had attacked and killed
the captive, literally tearing him to
pieces. The ranchman reset the trap,
and the next day found that the grizzly

To submit to an operation, is to volun.
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Wa1shtown, South
Dakota, and is well known all over the
state. Under date of January goth, 1896,
he writes; "About three years ago, there
came under my left eye little blotch
about the size of small pea. It grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, aud said that
it must be cut out. This 1 would not
consent to, having little faith in the in

was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., l
determined to give that medicinea trial,
and after had taken ii few DAYS, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving
small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words

the great blood purifier, S. S. s., and /

of leading other sufferers to cure"
Cancer is not incurable, but the only
means of curing it is to rid the blood Of
the disease. SIS. never fails to do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re.
lied upon. 1t is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarms
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary. Scrofula, for in
stance, often diseases the glands of the
neck to such an extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief. This is also grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and a real blood
remedy is the only cure.
An operation never did cure blood
disease. Beware Of the knifei

Too
Much Knife /!

The use of the surgeons knife is be.
coming so general, resulting fatally
IN such a large number Of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death OF some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, in some instances an
operation Is necessary, and is the
only means of saving ilfe, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning TO realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such a state Of
affairs continues, there will before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures. 1t is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser?
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases OF cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The diseae is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S.
is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and is the only cure for cancer.

WANTED FREE LIQUOR.

In a discussion on the liquor traffic
in Dublin, Ireland, some time ago, a
speaker made much of the fact that it
was mainly from the whisky tax that
the British Government derived the
funds wherewith it paid soldiers, po-
lice, spies, jailers and so forth, to re-
press and punish Irish patriotism and
keep the country in subsection. But, -
said he, 'the fault is your own. You
cannot blame the Government. 1t leaves
you free to drink or not to drink, just
as you please. There is no compulsion.
The British Government does not bring
you into the public houses and pour the
whisky down your thrOats." Where
upon there arose from some one in the

ton: ''Ah, l wish they would"

HILO HOTEL.
George c. Beckley Steps in AMI AS
sumes Control Over it.


During several months last past there
has been considerable trouble in the
management of the Hilo hoteL and this
found it's climax in an order from the
Spreckels Bros. to close the hotel on
Saturday, August 18th, this day.
If such an order were to be carried
into effect at time such as this, when
tourists from abroad are all anxious to
get view of the wonderful fires of
Kilauea, it would simply result in the
worst kind of inconvenience to them.
In recognition of this fact, when the
Kinau was at Hilo, Director George c..
Beckley of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany stepped in and took the RESPONSE
bility of running the hotel into his own
hands until the trouble now pending
has become a thing of the past. Mr..
Vierra, the present manager, will re-
main in his place and will administer
to the wants of his guests in first rate
style.
The action of Mr.. Beckley in looking
out for the interests of the tourists
is to be highly commended.
