Here Is case where the pain inflicted
on six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. MIR. J. N. Murdoch,
the father OF the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
when my son, Will, was sin years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him great deal of pain, and con-
ttnued 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
severe one, but thought 1t was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
white the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many repn-
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, Scrofu1a,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

CHEROKEE TROUBLE
Federal Aid Asked-Order Will Be
Maintained

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Trouble
has broken out afresh at Fort Gibson,
I. T., where the Cherokee freedmen pay
ment has just been resumed, and the
Washington authorities have been ap-
pealed to for assistance. News Of the
disturbance came officially in kilograms
received by department officials today.
Gen. Frank c. Armstrong of the Dawes
commission, which was just leaving
Fort Gibson when the trouble occurred,
joined with Indian Inspector McLaugh-
lin, who is supervising the payment, in
writing the following to Secretary Bliss:
considerable excitement exists on ac-
count of the arrests made by the United
States marshals. The troops here are
able to cope with the situation and pre-
serve peace. If the commander has not
authority to partol the town and to
exercise control over the excited negroes
serious trouble may occur. The presence
and action of the military this evening
alone prevented bloodshed. The pay
ment has progressed quietly. but those
disturbances are outside the lines and
are between the negroes and deputy
marshals. Prompt and decided action is
recommended with authority to remove
disorderly persons and disarm all ex-
cept United States officials"
Secretary Bliss forwarded the advices
to the secretary of war for his action
and wired the inspector that he had done
SO, and also stated that order must be
maintained at all hazards.

LORD wo1sELEY's AFFL1cT1oN
The Life Of the Commander Of the
British Army Nearing an End

Lord Wolseley is not likely to retain
for any length OF time his position of
commander-in chief of the British army,
for, although, after being confined to his
house for number of weeks, he has at
length returned to duty at the branch of
the war department known as the
Horse Guards, yet it is no longer any Sc
cret that he Is afflicted with cancer of
the stomach, which is in a very advansed
state. Nothing else is talked about at
the so-called Service" clubs in and
around Pail Mall, st. James and Picca-
dilly, and although the field marshal has
more enemies than friends, his popu-
larity being restricted to what is known
as "his gang" yet regret is expressed on
all sides.
1t is asserted that the malady has
reached point which enables the doc
tors to declare that while his life may
be prolonged until the end of the year
he must not look for much extension be-
yond that. while it is quite possible that
he may be carried off long before the
season is over. In that event it is his
only daughter Frances, who, by virtue
of the terms Of the patent Of his peerage
will become Viscountess Wolseley In her
own right.-Chicago Record.

HOFFMAN MURDERED
BY PARTIES UNKNOWN TO THE
JURY
Attorneys State That Bookkeeper
Figel Will Be Charged With
Killing His Employer

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Although
number of witnesses who had been SUBJ
penaed by Chief of Police Lees for the
purpose Of rebutting the testimony of
those who had testified within the past
few days sweled the list of those still
to be examined when the Hoffman in
quest was resumed this morning, Coro-
ner Hawkins speedily disposed of them
and, to the relief Of everybody con-
cerned, brought the inquiry to a close.
Among the most material witnesses
examined, at the instance of Chief Lees,
was j. b. Paulsen, former employe Of
the firm Of Hoffman, Rothschild & Co.,
who was intimately connected with the
family relations of the deceased. 1t
was shown by him that there was much
bitterness between Hoffman and the
Alexander brothers, and that upon a
memorable occasion one Of the young
men said in Paulsen's presence that if it
was not for his sister he would kill Hoff-
man.
P. J. Powers, the bookmaker's assist
ant, swore that Atkinson had told him
of losses upon the turf to the amount of
SIT 900, and that upon one day he knew
Of Figeps agent losing over $4,000. The
story related by Atkinson with reference
to the fire Of 1896 was confirmed by H. M.
Fortesque, to whom Atkinson told it at
the time.
Chief Lees, upon being asked whether
he had made any investigation as to the
movements Of the Alexander boys on
June 1st, stated that he telephoned to
the Chief of Police of Sam Jose and
learned rrom him that both were in
San Jose that evening. He also stated
that he had sent detective to Sacra-
mento and ascertained that Attorney
Ash's statement that Hoffman was in
that city May 18th was correct.
Harry H. Hoffman, cousin Of the de-
ceased, denied the story told by Taylor
yesterday, and stated that Figel and his
chum were angry with him because he
had informed Hoffman about their gam
bling proclivities.
Coroner Hawkins announced the in
quest closed and after instructing the
jurors as to their duties in the premises
left them to deliberate upon the ver-
dict A few minutes later they return
ed verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased was murdered by party or par
ties unknown to the jury. Attorneys
Ach and Rothschild announceda after the
inquest that Theodore Figel will be ar
rested and charged with the murder of
his employer.

INDIAN REVOLT
Indicated by the Assassination Of
Plague Commissioners

BOMBAY, India, June 25.-The sue
cessive shooting of British plague COM
missioners and other civil and military
officers by natives is regarded with grave
apprehension as an unmistakable sign
of revolt. In addition to the killing Of
Lieut.. Aycost at Ganestekind Tuesday
and the simultaneous shooting Of Com
missioner Rand, who is in a critical con-
dition, other attempts upon the lives of
officers are reported. Civil Officer Ross
was shot at Peshawar Tuesday night
as he was returning from the Jubilee
fetes, and cannot recover. An attempt
was made upon the life of Lieutenant
Williams last evening as he was entering
the messroom at Poonab. Fortunately
the bullet struck only his hand. The
authorities have offered 10000 rupees for
the arrest of natives concerned. The as
sassins track their victims and shoot
them after nightfall. Europeans are
very uneasy. The outrages are due to
the discomfort of the Brahmins.

QUEBEC, Que, June 25.-The steamer
Antwerp City has arrived with twelve
shipwrecked men, the survivors of the
crew of the Norwegian bark Magnhild,

captain refused to embark and remark
ed to five others, including the first mate,
"The boat will swamp If we go aboard
and we may as well die here as any
where"
The boat pulled away. Ten minutes
later the Magnhild gave heavy lurch
and disappeared. The first mate was
seen clinging to hatch, but could not be
reached. The men in the long boat were
picked UP twenty-four hours later by
