Look Out
Tor Cancer !

Few people are born entirely free from
blood faint. This is often very slight or
remote, and sometimes may not develop
at all IN one generation, but breaks out
in a serious disease later.
Cancer, the most dreadful of all dis
eases, is often the result OF some blood
faint inherited from generations back.
It often appears as a mere mole or in
significant pimple, which later develops
into an alarming condition. No one
knows but that he may be subject TO an
inherited inpurity in the blood, nor can
he tell whether or not this may some
day crop out in the form Of destructive
cancer. 1t is, therefore, important that
any little sore or scratch, which does
not readily heal, be given prompt atten-
ton, or serious condition may result.
Mr.. Robert Smediey, of ocala, Fla,
was the victim of malignant cancer,
which first appeared in the manner
above described. He writes:
cat first I paid no attention to the
little blotches on my face, thinking they
would soon pass away. Before long,
however, they became sore, and soon
began to enlarge. l applied ordinary
local remedies, but they had no effect,

The alarming increase in the number
OF deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and strong sentiment against
such methods OF treatment is fast de-
yeloping among the most intelligent
classes. It seems that in almost every
case where the doctors treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-
eide at once that an operation must be
performed, and the keen blade of the
surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
The many caustic plasters which are
applied to remove cancers aremore pain
full than death, and the danger of sur
gical operation is as great as the disease
itself. No plaster or surgical oper-
alton can cure cancer, because it is
q blood disease: the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, ard cannot be
cut ont, or removed By local treatment
As the disease must be forced from the
blood, it is only reasonable to rely upon
a real blood remedy for cure, one
which goes direct to the cause of the
trouble and removes it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. D, 1897.
1t is neither fattering nor cred
table to say that the most
interesting thing in the senate
during this week was a runlin~
debate, occupying the morning
hour" for several days, on a reso-
luton intending to make one of
the two rival electric light com
panles of Washington stop work
it was doing on permit from the
commissioners Of the District of
Columbia to extend it's lines, but
it is strictly true all the same.
Without repeating any Of the in
t1matlons which made this debate
interesting or caring which, if
either, side was right, most sem
sible people will agree that the
u. S. senate ought to be able to
find something more important to
do than to be playing common
council for the city of Washing
ton. Not only was it waste of
time belonging to the people of
the whole country, but the tone
of the remarks was calculated to
lessen the respect felt for the
individual senators against whom
the inslnuatlons of other senators
were aimed, and consequently of
the entire senate by the country
at large. If the senate wishes to
kill time for the purpose of pre-
venting legislation it should find
a better way to do it.
The secretary of state was the
guest of state-to-be (Senator Sher-
nam at this weeks meeting of
the senate committee on foreign
relations, and the questions fired
at him about the different clauses
of that arbitration treaty kept
Secretary Olney busy for about
an hour. There are differences

INSURANCE. STATEMENT DEAL.

Sioux Falls Arg.u s-L a d er:
There is always quite difference
between the economy which is
talked in the campaign and that
which is practiced after the fight
is won. The scheme of the Pop
ulists to create the Office of insur-
ance commissioner, for the pur-
pose of throwing a little patronage
TO the Populist newspapers of the
state, is a case in point. The
Argus-Leader will state the case
plainly, so that the taxpayers
after the bill is passed, can have
the satisfaction of demanding an
explanation from the members
who vote for it.
Under the law the insurance
companies are compelled to print
statements annually of their con-
dition. The statements are given
out by the state auditor to the
newspapers of the state. For
printing these statements the
newspapers get about S14 per
statement, and lucky newspaper
can make about 500 a year out
Of the deal. The work of exam
ming the statements, sending
them out, filing the afidavits Of
publication and issuing the per-
mits its now done by an employe
Of the auditors Office who gets
d 200 year. Much of his time

is spent with the auditors work
but IN the busy season he secures
assistance from other clerks in
the auditors office. The total
cost to the state of this service is
thus ST, 200.
But in the last election a
Republican auditor was elected
and the Populists have decided
that they want that patronage for
themselves no matter what the
additional cost to the taxpayers.
And so, a bill has been prepared
to create the Office of insurance
commissioner" He is to have a
salary of ST., 200; is to employ
clerks; maintain an office: employ
stenographer; to be very busy
for two months in the year and
have nothing to do but draw his
salary for the rest of the time. 1t
is known that the cost of this
work under this deal will be
about $4,000 per year greater than
under tho present plan. The bill
provides for the appointment of a
commissioner for four years. Thus
the additional expense called for
reaches $4,000 and its known
and admitted purpose is, and is
only, to give a few thousand dol
lars worth OF business in a year
to the various Populist papers in
the state. The additional cost of
the service, is greater than the
the total amount which the in
surance companies will pay the
Popullst papers SO that it would
be cheaper for the state to pay
direct bonus to the Populist news
papers and be done with 1T. All
politics aside, the bill is a plain
plumber of the peoples treasury
for the benefit of the Populist
newspapers. 1t doesn't pretend
to be anything else. The bill will
pass, no doubt, as that is the deal
of the party of economy and
reform" and will be signed by
the governor as that is his idea of
a ''business administrations" but
what do the taxpayers vito voted
for economy think about it? 1t
is deliberate waste of S16, 600
and is in effect an enforced dona-
ton on the part of all the people
of that sum IN order to give the
Populist newspapers part of it.

acres of land, which has cost the gov
eminent $2o,000,O0G, to he opened to
homestead entry All of the votes cast
| against it We're from the democratic
side OF the chamber, except one, MIR.
Platt of Connecticut. The lands were
bought from the Indians at various
times within the past few years. with
the provision in the bills authorizing
the purchase that the persons desiring
to make homes upon them should pay
the cost price per acre, at the end of a
t1ve-years settlement thereon. 1t was
urged, however, that as the lands of
the government generally had been
given freely to those desiring to settle
on them. it is injustice to the later gen.
erations of those desiring homes to re-
quire them to pay for lands owned by
the government, especially as many Of
these tracts lie in arid or Semi-arld sec
tions, where heavy expenditures are
necessary to make them of value for
homes and farming. Upon these argu-
ments and representations the bill
which passed the house some time
since in restricted form passed the
senate, the extreme pressure in ite be-
half being brought by the western sena-
tors, who were extremely active in it's
support.
SO earnest was the pressure tor ac-
ton that several democratic senators
who were paired consented to break
their pairs to make a quorum. though
they voted against the bill in doing SO.
The original bill, as it passed the house.
related only to lands in Oklahoma.
amounting to about 100000 acres
but was extended 10y the senate to in
clude 100000 acres in the northwest.
The lands which are opened to free
entry by the bill, provided 1T passes the
house IN amended form, are us follows:
Great Sioux reservation, North and
South Dakota and Nebraska, $3.50, ,93S
acres, for which settlers were to pay
from 90 cents to 81 per acre, according
to location and value, and under the
terms OF the act authorizing its pur-
chase.
