He says: Tt gave me a great deal of pain-thOse sharp, darting pains so characteristic of cancer. I took many so-cal1ed blood medicines, without the slightest effect, and sought the help of the best physicians, but they did me no good; one told me, however, that I was incurable and had better make my arrangements accordingly. l was on the verge of despair. when Dr. J. L. Miller, one of the leading druggists of
 my town, recommended s. s. $. The first bottle seemed to make me worse, but Dr. Miller told me this was a fav- orable symptom, and by the time I had taken the second bottle, the cancer be- gan to discharge, and as I continued this became quite PrOfuse, and kept up for some time. Then it gradually grew less, and after awhile ceased all together, and to my delight the place dried up and is cured entirely, so that nothing remains but a scar.
 ''I consider $. s. S. boon to suffer ing humanity, aud feel that owe my life to 1t, as the cancer had made such progress when I began s. s. s. that my death was declared to be only matter of very short time. The cure eff feCted ill nay case is considered by every one most remarkable, and clearly dC1hOIASI1 dlCS LIlS 1dCL ludJ .. .. .. does cure hereditary cancer. No one who is afflicted with this dreadful dis ease can afford to fail to give s. S. s. a trial, for that is all that is necessary to convince them of it's virtues.''
 The above is but one of many re markab1e cures being daily made by s. s. s. Cancer is becoming alarm ing1y prevalent, and manifests itself in such variety of forms, that any sore or scab, it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and. disappear, may well be regarded with 
 The fact that s. s. s. cures heredi- Iary cancer, which is considered in- places it without an equal as q sure cure for all manner of real blood diseases, such as Scroft11a, Ec- zema, Contagious Blood Poison, or any other form of bad blood. .-AtlaatG

4 Small Spot May
 Be Cancer!

It is very often that the most insig- nificant symptoms are forerunners of the most violent disease. There is not q more destructive disease than Cancer, and i'll majority of cases it is first indicated by a very small scab or sore, to which no attention is at tracted, until it before long develops into most alarming conditions.
 Here is such d case, where the first symptoms were too small to benOticed for quite time. MT. J. B. Arnold be- longs to one of the oldest and best families of Carolina; he is well and favorably known throughout South Carolina, and has resided at Green wood for years. Cancer is hereditary in the family, an amt on each side having died from it. Several years ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer about the size of bird-shot, appeared just under his left eye, above the cheek bone. He thought nothing of it for some time, until if began to grow rap idly, spreading all the time, and de- stroying the flesh as it went.

One day his master took bim to a tavern and after all had drank freely. about half glass was left, and Jack not knowing what iq was, took it and drank it and was made drunk. It as his last dram. His master tried him. No. Jack ran up to the Iidge pole of the house. His master took gun and pointed it at him. He was afraid of a gun; so h. went over the other side of the roof. The master got two guns and then he was in fix. What d'd he do? He crawled up to the top If Il e chimney and got down into ne of the fl les. Thus he beat the master.

THE RECENT HEAVY STORMS.


 Saturday, the 18th, was noted for it's thunder storms. The first between and 4 in the morning was heavy and the lightning almost incessant. The second came between and 8. The clouds pre- sented a most terrific aspect. As it mov- ed up from the west the light of day fled before it and in some eases lamps were lighted. One thought of hurricanes and tornadoes but we were mercifully spared such terrors. The storm, about 5 in the afternoon, proved more severe but pass ed off in the south. The lightning WAS vivid beyond description. Another an hour later consisted mainly or as it seem- ed to some,a ball of fire followed instant ly by singular and most tremendous re- port. It was appalling. People inside rushed to their doors while those outside were glad to come in. It was accom- panied by slight rain and ended the series.

CULL|NG SAN JOSE VOTES
Recount of Ballots Cast in the
Recent Election Is
Begun.
P. J. Fay Contests Homer Prindle's
Right to Seat in the City
Council.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 5.-The contest
inaugurated by J. P. Fay against Honor
Prindle for q seat in the City Council from
the Second Ward was heard before Judges
Lorigan and Reynolds, sitting in bank,
this afternoon. The petition for a recount
was granted.
AT the city election held in April Prindle
Ind.) was declared elected over Fay (R.)
by thirteen votes. The latter at once COM
menced a contest, alleging that in the
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
precincts of the Second Ward some six
teen votes that were improperly marked
had been counted for Prindle.
In his answer Prindle alleges upon his
information and belief that on 1.-THE 18th
day of April, 1896, all the ballots cast at
the city election for the said Office of Coun-
Gilman of the Second Ward of said city,
and the returns of the respective boards of
election of all the election precincts of
said Second Ward of the city of San
Jose, were removed from the Office OF the
City Clerk and placed in a common
unsealed trunk and deposited IN the
Office of the City Treasurer, and remained
and continued in said unsealed trunk un-
til after the filing OF the contest on May
15.'' The defendant alleges that other
persons than the City Clerk or the City
Treasurer had opportunities to the actual
possession of the ballots and returns since
the same were removed from TIE City
CT lerk's office and objects to the recount
ing of the ballots until it is shown they
have been lawfully preserved.
City Clerk Cook, Deputy Simonds and
Deputy Treasurer Cottle went on the
witness-stand. Clerk Cook testified that
the ballots had been deposited in the
upper vault ef the Treasurer's, but t. ms
belief the ballots had not been touched
and were in the same condition now as
when deposited there.
After the petition for recount was
granted Precinct in the Second Ward
was counted. In this precinct II votes
were objected to- 10 of which were for
Prindle and for Fay. The vote, not
counting the ballots objected to, was:
Prindle 18, Fay 30.
The official returns in this precinct give
Prlndle 18, Fay So Whether there will be
change in the vote in this precinct de-
pends upon the decision of the court on
the ballots TO which objection was made.
The recount will be resumed tomorrow
morning.

The Consideration Believed to
Have Been at Least
$Io,ooo,ooo.
WORK FOR MANY LABoRERs.
All Claims on the Rich Tract Will
Be Operated to Their Full
Capacity.

COULTERVILLE, CAL, June Sit Is
reported here that the Mariposa Grant
has been sold TO an English syndicate.
The consideration is not known, but is be-
lieved to have been $40, 100000. The mines
on the grant are to be operated to their
full capacity, giving employment to hun
dreds of men.
E. B. Dorsey, well known as an expert
in Colorado, South Africa and other min
ing countries, has been quietly investi-
eating matters for some time past. He
has been accompanied by a shorthand re-
porter, and they have been interviewing
old residents who worked in the mines
from the time when Colonel John G.
Fremont opened them in 1857 to 1872,
when they passed into the hands of the
Donohoe- Kelly Banking Company for an
Indebtedness incurred in a Wall-street
gamble.
Later the Mariposa grant was sold to
John W. Mackay, AIvinza Hayward, w. s.
Hobart, J. G. Flood and Senator John P.
Jones, the price paid being understood to
have been the indebtedness of the owners
to the Donohoe- Kelly Bank. The million
aires who took over the bad debt of the
then owners to the bank have contented
themselves hitherto with contesting the
demand made upon them by the county
authorities for taxes.
When Senator Jones went to the Brus-
sells silver conference in 1892 he endeav-
ored to sell the Mariposa grant in london
for $4,000, 600, while its taxable valuation
in Mariposa was proportionately less than
Assessor Siebe's estimate of the Market
street Railway to current value.
The mines which have been operated
in the Mariposa grant are the Mariposa,
Josephine. Pine Tree, Oso, Mexican,
Princeton. Mount Ophir and others, while
there are many large quartz veins still in
their virgin state which, while known to
be enormously rich, have never been sys.
tematlcally prospected.
In its northern boundry the grant has
the great water power OF the Merced River
from the Ward ranch down to the Broad
head old dam. This structure in the Mer-
ced is capable OF generating fall in its
fifteen miles of a power. second only to that
of Niagara.
