HON. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
MIR. HOWARD ROBE
Has a Few Words to Say About
 David CrocIkett's Motto.

! ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, June IS, '96. To Editor Pine Bluff Graphic:
 Dear Sir:-If space permits you will please present my compliments to the Pess Eaqle, and suggest shat there is another maxim worthy of place beside the "homely motto of the immortal Davy, .. Example is better than precept.
 If the Press Eagle cares to sustain it's reputation for veraeity as sim cerely as it seems to wish to make capital for itself and it's political ] faction in your county, out of the situation in Desha, by going to the record it will find that the lease set for yesterday was instituted by R. w. Smith.
 If it cares to go further and show the public that it's intentions are honorable, by investigation it will find that MT. Robb, whom it de- clares, wants it dissolved, nas never intimated that he did want it dissolved" has never atfronted the people by appealing to the courts, and, in fact, protested against the action of MT. Smith in filing this motion. And as the Press Eagle has shown it's eagerness to express bis ''wants" in the premises, to enable that worthy to follow its own advice, and "get right" before it ''goes ahead" again, will say that he "wants" as little from the courts as he does from the Pyess-Eogte, as both have shown an inclination to form conclusions from one sided representations, and without an in vestigation of the facts. Respect fully, HOWARD RoBB.

DESERVED HIS FATE.
A California Murderer Hanged
 for Ills Terrible Crime.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 19.-Joseph Ebanks was hanged today for the murder of Mrs. Harriet Stiles and her aged father near here in Septem- Der last. The crime was one of peculiar atrocity and according to the confession of the murderer en- tirely unprovoked. Having been taken suddenly ill while tramping along the railroad in the vicinity of Ocean Grove Ebanks applied for medicine at the tent occupied by Mrs. Stiles and her father and which stood near the tracks. While Mrs. Stiles was engaged in finding some thing for his relief, Ebanks suspected that the old man was going to attack him and fired his own revoly- CT with fatal results. Immediately afterwards the murderer realizing his predicament made Mrs. Stiles kneel and and pray, telling her that though life was sweet to both, he preferred liberty to hanging, and so she must die to insure his safety. When the woman had finished pray ing and arose Ebanks fired twice killing her instantly and before leav- ing the tent emptied the contents of his revolver into the prostrate bodS of the old man.

A Courteous Company.

The press and public generally are very much indebted to MT. F. H. Hoyler and the Western Union Telegraph Company for valuable services rendered in securing and making public the news about the St. Louis Convention. It seems that at one time it was determined to give out no bulletins except as to the ballots and so an agreement to that effect was made between the Western Union and the Postal. companies Upon the violation of this contract by the latter company the Western Union gave out detailed information of the proceedings. The rapidity with which the bulletins came and the courtesy and promptness with which they were delivered is highly com mendable and should be appreciated by the public generally. Mir. Hoyler, the efficient manager, and the company are to be thanked.

The First Pedal Action Bicycle Ever
Built.
A wooden bicycle alleged to have
been built in 1858 and to be the first
pedal action machine constructed is on
exhibition in the window of bicycle
house in New York. The wheel has
many novel features, despite Its an
tiquity. Thesowner discovered 1t in a
small town near Utica, N T., and, ap-
preciating its worth, purchased it.
While the wheel is quite old and has
no doubt suffered some rough usage,
1t is in good condition. 1t weighs 10S
pounds, nearly 84 pounds heavier than
the average bicycle in use to-day. An
ingenious and curious part is the frame,
which Is piece of iron curved to fit
the wheel The steering gear, while
not elaborate In either finish or design,
is very strong. A large iron coaster is
attached to the forks above the front

ing of heavy wood, eighteen inches
long and twelve inches wide, and is ad-
Unstable. as are also the pedals.

The immense power required to pro-
pei vessel when speed above twenty
knots an hour is required is realized,
says technical journal, by few peo-
pie. Take, for instance, the British
torpedo boat chasers, which are mere
racing machines, even from a naval
point of view. The most perfect speci-
mems of this class, which have attain
ed thirty knots speed, carry sixty tons
of coal, which is full one-quarter Of
their entire seagoing displacement.
They burn three and one-haIf tons Of
coal per hour. To attain the three knots
over twenty-seven, which is the highest
speed Of ordinary torpedo boats, 1t was
necessary to increase the fuel expendi-
ture fully per cent.

To submit to an operation, is to vo1uns

Mr.. William Walpole, is wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is we'll 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 a small pea. 1t grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. I became
alarmed and consulted good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
1t must be cut out. This I would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate nse Of the knife, though I
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., !
determined to give that medicine trial,
and after had taken it few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhileceased, 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

Too Much Knife /!

The use of the surgeons knife Is be-
coming so general, resulting fatally
IN such large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could mot
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 life, 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 state Of
affairs continues, there will before long
be 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 q
precious life is given mp, the public il
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wisers
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease Is
in the blood aud the cancer or sore Is
but the outward manifestation of q
terrible condition of the entire circula-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
docs 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 mp naturally. S.S.S.
Is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and is the only cure for cancer.
