CANCER
This Most Deadly and Danger
Gus AffIiction Can Be Cured
by the Physicians of a Well.
Known Los Angeles Institu-
ton

Many physicians who have not kept
abreast with the many scientific and sur
gical improvements of modern times
claim that cancer cannot be cured. The
contrary, however, has been proved in
numerous instances by the English and
German Expert Specialists Of 21S S.
Broadway.
These eminent doctors do not claim
that all cases of cancer can be perma-
nently cured, but they can easily es-
tablish the fact that they have cured
more than so per cent of the many
cases treated during the past few years
leaving the patients perfectly sound
and healthy.
Anyone who is afflicted with cancer
or a symptom of this deplorable all
ment should consult the English and
German Expert Specialists. Their ad-
vice can be had for the asking. People
who are interested can also obtain the
names of persons who have been cured
These doctors, five in number, are alb
solute masters Of consumption, chronic
diseases and deformities. Each is a
regular graduate from American
schools of medicine, while four of them
hold diplomas from the best medical
colleges In Europe.
The financial responsibility Of the
English and German Expert Specialists
is unquestioned. The institute is incor-
porated under the laws of California
for Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars.
Sufferers who cannot make it conven-
lent to see the doctors in Los Angeles
or call when part of the staff makes
their regular monthly visits to the prin-
cipal Southern California towns, should
write for symptom blanks and an opin-
ion in regard to their ailment. This
will cost absolutely nothing, and would
no doubt result in great deal of good

Local Real Estate.

In the amount of recorded transfers for
the past week there is some falling off
shown. as compared with prior weeks, al
though not to such an extent as might be
expected. Agents complain of existing
dullness which will be accentuated If war
should be declared, which now seems in
evitable. 1t Is not to be expected that
any lively trade In real estate will be car
ried on while the disturbing effect of hos
tilities, even at distance is felt. Some
contraction in prices may therefore be ex-
pected. The volume of building is we'll

will probably be undisturbed, although

methods the oddities are pursuing to
change public sentiment in North Caro-
lima. They are even now spending thous-
ands of dollars in circulating literature

Mr.. Cleveland's letter and the wide
open bureau of literature run by Mr.,
Fries ought TO show TO true Democrats
that the men who bolted last year are

quito quietly at work to further the
plan to elect gold Congress. To do
this they will sacrifice any and every
thing, and while they have no power
worth speaking of when their campaign
is open and they have to stand up and
be counted, they may do harm by indi-
rect methods that are now known gen

The money question is party cues

submit to the 'arbitrament of the ma

are working for the gold standard and

year, and last year more than the year
before, just as next year will probably
show an increase over this year-but
the time will never come when the Pier
pont Morgans will willingly reduce by
one cent the tribute levied on North
Carolina.
Lastly. the United States Supreme
Court. the Federal District and Circuit
court, sundry State Supreme courts have
held time and time again that rates
which will allow railroads to secure 4
per cent net on the true value of their
property can not be interfered with by
the courts. How stands the case in
bined on which rates have been cut to ,
and 212 cents were valued for taxes last
year at SCI, 100000 They came here
with all the big officers and big lawyers,
in palace cars, and swore that this was
more than all their property was worth.
-Four per cent on that sum is SS4O,OOo
and that is every cent of net revenue the
law says they are entitled to. but while
the courts would not interfere ii they
earned no more than 4 per cent the rates
in fairness ought to be high enough to
justify six per cent earnings. Yet the
reports of these same roads show that
they earned net $3,140.000 last year,
an excess of $2,3OO,O0O above the
$4,000 they would earn on a four per
cent dividend basis, if the roads are
worth only the sums on which they are
taxed. AS they are worth much more
the rates should be fixed SO that they can
earn dividend on the real value of the
property.
The Commission, instead of relieving
the people by taking off the whole of
the illegal excess only cut rates which
railroads claim will reduce their revenues
100000. If that were true, there would
be still large profits in excess on the
principal roads which should be further
cut by reducing freight rates.
Besides, as above shown, the 100000
will be fully made MP by stopping free
passes. 1t could also easily be made up
by cutting down Spencer's $4,000 salary
and other salaries to reasonable and
just figures. 1t will be largely made
MP by the increased travel induced by
moderate rates.
As the old rates stood:
i. The influential, the very rich and
ofiice-h0lders ride free. There is said 20
have been 100000 passes issued to them
in North Carolina last year.
. Drummers of wealthy firms ana
men with ready means pay . cents per
mile by getting 1000 mile tickets.
3. The masses pay 81 cents, thus pay
ing for the free-pass-toters as well as
themselves. When this is proposed to
be rightcd by making nm equal rate. of
= and 2la cent alike to everybody there
is a howl.
This howl does not come from the
rank and file of the people. They do not
wish rates that will not leave n fair
margin of profits to the railroads, but
they do wish the rates to be reduced
as much as possible without injury to
the owners of the roads.
