WAS WILLING TO TELL.
Iowa Man Buried 100000 to Avoid Paying
AlimOny to His Divorced Wife.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept ll.-Conrad May,
defendant in divorce suit, confessed
to the referee appointed by the court
to discover the whereabouts of his
property, that he had buried two pots
of gold valued at $3.50, 900 on a farm in
Wisconsin to escape an execution for
the temporary alimony which the
court had allowed his wife. May was
arrested some days ago on warrant
charging that he was about to
leave this jurisdiction to escape pay
ment of the alimony. He was brought
before Judge 0'Donnell yesterday, and
rather than remain in Jail for contempt
or reveal the exact hiding spot of his
treasure, proposed to dig up enough
to pay the alimony. The proposition
was accepted.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept II. The steam
ship Cleveland, II days from st.
Michaeps, arrived in the straits yester-
day. She brings s. passengers and
perhaps $500, 900 in gold dust. Thirty
eight OF the passengers are from the
gold fields and ~ are carpenters re-
turning from st. Michaels where they
went to construct boats. The story Of
the fabulous wealth Of Klondike,
Bonanza, Eldorado and other streams
tributary to the Yukon is reiterated
by the returning miners, but the warn
ing which has already been given-to
stay away from the gold fields this
winter-is emphasized by every one on
board. They say that hundreds Of
people must go hungry this winter,
and that many will certainly starve to
death, as the food supply in the
country is far below what will be re-
quired to keep alive those already in
Dawson City.

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
Of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a ctrong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi.
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
Of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and Of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even If
successful.
It Is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that
majority Of them are absolutely under.
taken without the slightest chance Of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six.year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. N. Murdoch,
the father Of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. II
gave him great deal Of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but l thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem.
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specifc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign Of the dreadful disease to re.
turn"
S.S.S. Is far ahead Of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed
