DO Not Give Up in De.
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been though,
that Cancer is incurable, anc
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con.
sidered themselves beyond hope Of
recovery. The doctors are alb.
solutely unable to afford any re-.
lief, and the poor sufferer might
VOL consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
II 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 ont the sore or ulcer. known
as Cancer, the disease would he
gotten rid Of, and the patient re-
stored To health. BIT the crual

WANT INFoRMAT1oN.

Several letters have been written to AUS
tin today asking for information regarding
the condemnation BILL which Senator Geo.
C. Greer has succeeded in passing through
the senate. 1t Is believed here that the
bill. il it becomes law, will work a
hardship on people who own property
which a corporation might desire to con-
denim and they want light, The people OF
Beaumont and Jefferson county in recent
years have had considerable experience
with condemnation suits. They believe that
construction of railroads. canals, etc,
should be encouraged, but they are doubt
full of the business of a law which would
authorize corporation to take possession
of an individuals property before 1t oh
tanned title thereto. 1t is reported hero
that the law was framed with the especial
view Of applying TO certain conditions in
this city and section, but II such Is IL
fact it can not be learned that said con-
di13ns are designated in the bill.

"They (the English) paralyzed the
sultan by means of the Armenian
troubles which they got up, and by
means of the war with Greece, which
was likewise their handiwork. In
France, where we were on the lookout
for English tricks they actually origi
mated the whole Dreyfus affair as wei
as many of it's side issues. In
Abyssinia they first cajoled Menelik
and were now egging on Ras Mangas.

these English hypocrites have gone the
length of provoking massacres of their
own missionaries in order to acquire
thereby the right of annihilating the
whole aboriginal race, and making
themselves masters of Matabeleland

Tired of Holding the Fort.

Berlin, Feb. 23-The Cologne Gazette
today publishes extracts from private
letter dated Ioilo, January II, saying
that prior to the conclusion of peace
Lieutenant Brandeis. formerly of the
Twenty.6rst battalion dragons. with 300
Spanish troops, held the town against
10000 to 10000 FIlipinos. When peace
was concluded. the letter adds, Brandes
informed the American authorities at
Manila that he would hold Manila for
another forty-eight hours. But it ap.
pears that as no Americans arrived Bran
deis finally evacuated the place and two
days later the Filipinos formed re.
publican government.
The Americans. the writer says, sCrut-
inzed all the movements of the Germans
with great suspicion, and one morning
the commander OF the United States
cruiser Baltimore boarded the Irene, just
as the Germans were manning boat
and warned the German commander
that llolo was United States territory.
