Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hopel

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
-sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are abb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer ,andis
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and al not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut

Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at

HEIRESS GOES TO KLONDIKE.
Young Woman Worth Half a Million
Dollars Starts From
Tacoma

CHICAGO. Feb. 4.-The Tribune's
special from Tacoma, Wash, says Mrs.
William Smith, an heiress to half a
million dollars Of property and having
large income from rents, has pur-
chased the most elaborate outfit sold
here this season and starts this week
for Dawson City to buy claims and
mine gold. Her income, beautiful home
and husband will be left behind, though
the latter will join her later. Her
brother, Floyd Steel, will accompany
her. These two young people inherit
the gold fever from their father, Hugh
Steel, who made his fortune at gold
mining in the Cariboo and Yukon
countries. In the SOS he went to Carl
boo, where. as "Cariboo" Steel, he was
known as owner of three of the richest
claims. In 1868 he built the first house
in what has since become che city Of
Tacoma. afterwards acquiring extern
sive property interests. In the sos he
went down the Yukon with two others
and began mining on Forty Mile creek.
fifty miles beyond KIondike He
brought back sacks of gold on his re-
turn from four or five trips. While re-
turning in 1892 he was paralyzed and
died before he could reveal to his chill
dren the location Of his rich mines.

Immunity of the Trusts.

It IS but a short time since Kansas
association for dealing in live stock
was declared illegal by the courts as
being contrary to the provisions Of the
Sherman antitrust law. The same
statute has been invoked with success
against some other enterprises, not
withstanding the light esteem In which
it has been held by the judicial de-
pertinent of the administration at
Washington. Mr.. Olney and Mr.. Har-
mon seemed to think that legislation
in restraint Of trusts must lie along
other lines, and we have not observed
any painful anxiety on the part of
Mr.. McKinley's advisers to change the
anti trust law from a mere bit of YER
biage into a living force.
Current events declare that the au-
thorities should do one thing or the
other. Either they should announce
the impotence Of the law or they
should make an attempt to enforce 1t.
The debauching effect of laws that are
imperative has gone too far already.
There appears to be no secrecy or ap-
prehensiOn on the part of the modern
trust makers. We chronicled a short
time ago the list of these combinations
formed during the closing month Of
last year. February starts with an
important announcement The Ma
tiOna1 Picouit Copopop1o hoe haap or
ganiZed under the laws Of New Jersey,
with a total capitalization of $50 900, 900
in stock. 1t has purchased all the as
sets and plants of all the companies
in the country engaged in the manu-
facture of crackers. 1t is now in abso-
Lutte charge of this business. and the
property under it's direction is said to
contain 139 different plants, or 80 per
cent of all the considerable concerns in
the United States.
If this is to be the direction of the
development of industry in this coun-
try for the future, it is as we'll to
know it. If it is not then the National
Biscuit company becomes a subject for
prayerful consideration by the govern
ment. The proceedings Of the cracker
trust in the past have been open, and
the progress of the combination a mat
ter Of general nOtoriety Either the
trust should be brought under the law
or declared an alien and offender I'M
der the law. The present pretense of
prohibiting acts that are committed
daily with ostentation weakens respect
for all government. The trust should
have the approval of the law and Sc
cure proper place under it, or the
illumination Of the law against it
should be made something else than
the mere beating of tom-t toms.

been the choice of plurality of the
voters at the primary.
Briefly sketched this Is the Cal
ifornia method. It may be open
to the criticism that it compels
the voter at the primary to dis
close his party utilization, an objec-
ton OF moment only to the Independent
voter. There Is no reason why the
primary ballot should not contain the
names Of all the candidates of all the
parties, as does the general ballot,
leaving the voter as free to make his
selections as he is at the following
election. But, whatever plan Is adopt
ed. it is significant that the interest in
this needed reform is being awakened
so widely, and it's force is best shown
In the fact that the politicians are CIV
ing 1t their attention, not so much, we
can readily surmise, for the purpose Of
producing the method that will give the
voter the greatest freedom, as to see
that their opportunities for manage
ment are curtailed as little as possible.
The primary is the citadel of the party
manager, and he may be expected to
defend it with all his ingenuity.

AID FOR CUBA.
1t Is Relieved St. Paul VIII Do It's
Share.


To the ST. Paul Globe:
The following item from the New York
Tribune evidences the fact that the East is
alive to the fearful conditions that exist in
Cuba:
"One hundred hospital beds for children are
to be shipped to Havana next Wednesday, In
answer to request by Consul General Lee
The first steamer sailing for Havana will also
take $1,000 worth of ehiIdrens clothing and
condensed milk and 500 900 grains of uuinine
and other medicines. n The steamer Concho
yesterday took $4,000 pounds of supplies. The
Metropolitan Steamship company has prom
lsed to forward relief articles free from Bos-
ton and the Atlantic Coast line also offers
to transport articles for that purpose free"
Now. let st. Paul set the pace for the West
and turn out en- massei to the benefit enter
tainment which is, to take place at Mozart hall
on Sunday afternoon. The programme in
itself. aside from the cause for which it is
given, should be sufficient to insure a packed
house. In justice to those who have so willing.
ly volunteered their services, | trust the citi-
zens Of st. Paul will turn out in force and
show their appreciation of this unselfish de-
votion to the cause of humanity on the part
of the participants. If our representatives at
Washington allow. politics to bias their actions
in regard to Cuba, we can at least place
ourselves on record and leave the legislators
to pass Judgment upon our actions at later
day.
In the meantime thousands Of our fellow
men, their wives and little ones are suffering
for the want of those very necessaries OF
which we have abundance.
May st. Paul's generous people register
their opinion on Sunday afternoon at the
benefit entertainment is the earnest wish of
Louis Nash.

Eastern states on their way to Alaska.
The traffic was about evenly divided
between the three transcontinental
lines, and consisted of several little
groups banded together in search Of
the golden fleece.
The Great Northern took out a well
equipped party under the leadership Of
James P. Light, vice president Of the
Seattle & Yukon Steamship company.
Mr.. Light came out Of Dawson last
fall, bringing with him Simon Kick,
q Catholic missionary, a number of
Esquimau dogs and considerable gold
from his claim on Sulphur creek, on
the Indian river.
In his party yesterday were Mrs.
Light and their small daughter, who
will go as far as Seattle; the mission

Frank Nicholson, William r. Duncan

On sixty days. Mr.. Light is taking with
him to the coast the two Sullivan

to start out for st. Michaels, the whole

go in the interest of the steamship
company.
