New York, June 25.-The Mississippi
river commission resumed its SESSION in
this city today. There was not as large
an attendance as there was yesterday.
The first delegate to address the body
was J. NJ. Whi.ehill. who merely pointed
out the merits of the levee system and
asked for a fair appropriation for his
district.
General ]. II. Reynolds Of Chico, Ark.
denied that there was any acrimony or
jealousy among the various districts as
to appropriations. He declared that most
Of the levees were nakeshift affairs.
Murray Smith Of Vicksburg stated that
eighteen miles from Vicksburg north
toward Greenville. there was stretch
of riparian land unprotected by levees.
when high water came, this country was
inundated and the water backed up I'M
til it reached the ieveee locality and
thereswept behind the levees and under
mined them. The same state Of affairs
exisred south of Vicksburg, near the
mouth of the Black river.

districts in condition to defend the
levees. The people Of his district had
raised $4,000 to preserve the levees.
much Of winch was wasted on account
Of the foundations of the lands without
levees.
w. P. Halliday. delegate from Arkan-
sas. said: II venture to say that the re-
cent floods have clearly proven the sue
tenn. 1t Is only where our levees were
imperfectly constructed that they failed
to afford protection"
Mr.. Halliday declared, however, that
the great obstacle to the complete sue
cess of levees is infiltration and said
that the cause of 1t was imperfect foun-
dations. He urged the necessity for
more attention being paid to the stabil-
i;y Of foundation.
Under the constitution OF the United
States" continued Mr.. Halliday, I'VE

property. Our great government has
never been mean and niggardly under
any treaty and period Of its history, and
no expenditures, therefore, however
great. should be spared II our fertile
lands can be protected against any
threatened peril.
This measure OF protection to the
residents along the river. and to their
lands. Is demanded not alone by con-
siderations' Of humanity but of the pub
lie interest as well. II these fertile val
ieys are protected or reclaimed they be-
come richly productive and when made
richly productive. they raise in value.
and just as they raise N value, the
value OF the country is increased and
the revenue OF the government is aug
mented.
If the work of your committee Is per-

years more and ample means are placed
at your disposal. the tale of woe which
was carried on the wires during the re-
cent floods, will have been heard for the
last time"

Too
Much Knife !!

N The use Of the surgeons knife Is be
coming 80 general, resulting fatally
81 such q 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 10 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 il such state OF
affairs continues, there will before long
be general uprising against such meas
ures. It is bit 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 a
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite OF the operation, and who IS
ever the wiserf
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases Of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula-
tion. 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. SIS.

and Is the only cure for cancer.

TO submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpo1e, 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 threeyears 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 good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
il must be cut out. This would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though l
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., l
determined to give that medicine trial,
and after had taken it a few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhileceased, leaving
q small scab, which finally dropped of,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyerha held full sway Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S., and 1
write this hoping that itmay bethe means
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. S.S.S. never fails to do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re.
lied upon. It 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 alarm,
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 a grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and real blood
remedy is the only cure.
An operation never did cure blood
disease. Beware of the knifel

Prentioe,y Ready Wit.

Once when coming out OF. q
public building in Louisville,
George d. Prentice, was about
to pass through a double door
which opened both ways. Like
the sensible man hewas he start.
ed to push at the door half on
his right. A young man coming
from the opposite direction was
pushing at the same door, being
his own left. Prentice lost patti
ence, and throwing himself with
all his might against the door it
few open and the young man
went sprawling on the mosaic
floor. Assisting the youth to
arise, Prentice remarked: Take
my advice, my son. Keep to the
right in your way through life,
and you will never run against
anybody but a blamed fool, and
you needn't apologize to him.
Will S. Hays, the famous Ken
lucky song writer, was in the
latter days Of the old Journal
river reporter for the Democrat.
Hays was a very sudden young
man, good hearted, jolly, witty,
but lacking somewhat in rever-
ence, and he had a habit of call
ing persons, even old enough to
be his grandfather, by their given
names. Visiting Prentice one
day as a fellow poet. after some
desultory talk, Hays said:
Il suppose George, you have
seen my last song
Prentice looked up at Hays,
who was seated cross-legged on
Prentice's table. and with a
twinkle in his expressive eyes

In one of Jane Barlow's stories
an old Icishwoman said that she
could remember the name of
the plant "quacktus" because she
always thought of ducks. A
lady, who owns a fine cactus,
once had an Italian workman in
the house making some repairs
for her Noticing her flower, he
asked if she had ever heard of
the medicinal quality ofits leaves.
She was further told that in Italy
it was commonly understood that
the leaf of cactus, split and
spread, the open side down, upon
a bruise or wound, would quickly
heal it. Not long after one of
the lady's children fell prey to a
usual juvenile accident and was
badly bruised. His mother
thought of and tried the split
cactus leaf, and found itas effica,
cious as the Italian had said. 1t
