The
Cruel Knife!

1t is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-

blood, and hence can not be cut out.

The Stephensville , Tex Empire
perpetrates this: ''The horrible
news comes from Capt. Wrights
farm, near Hog Springs, that
a young man climbed a corn
stalk last Monday to see how
it was getting along, and now the
corn is growing up faster than he
can climb down. Three men have
undertaken to cut down the stalk,
but owning to its rapid growth it is
feared they will not succeed in time
to prevent the young mans death
by starvation. He is subslsting on
raw corn, and has already thrown
down four bushels of cobs, and it is
now thought that his supply is al
most exhausted.

no North, no South, That result
alone will be worth all the sacrifice
we have made.

hope that pleasure may be in store
for me.
In the meanwhile, with many
thanks for your congratulations

The Osceola Times says: "At the
time of the declaration of war with
Spain, Uncle Sam, bless his old in
nocent soul, was, srictly speaking,
on a peace footing. Without eth
er an army or navy to speak of, in
in less than three months he
brought proud old Spain to her
knees at his feet. Such feat of
arms was so much of surprise to
the foreign powers, who are bur
dened to the verge OF destruction
with national armaments and stand
ing armies, that at last civilization
is asking the question, "does all this
tom foolery and pageantry really
tend to preserve the peace, and Sc
cure happiness and prosperity to
humanity" The Car of Russia,
who like his predecessors, has al

Who Will be our Next Presiden!

Politicians are now planning for
the presidential campaign of 1900,
but the war has so overshadowed all
other matters that politics is almost
unnoticed. Many people are of the
opinion that the candidates will be
the same as in 1896, but there may
be a clark horse" who will win the
race. Popularity has much to do
with candidates. This is also true
with medicine, The most popular
remedy to-day is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and it has retained this
for many years. Science never dis
covered the equal OF this medicine
for stomach, liver and kidney dis
eases. Itbuilds up solid flesh tissue,
