Gen. Charles p. Eagan, of en-
balmed beef notoriety, is in Wash
ington seeking pardon and restor-
alton to duty. He wants vindica
ton, which is a little cheeky, in
view of the general opinion of the
public that his sentence TO suspen-
sion for six years with full pay ST.
500 year-and allowances, was
more than lenient. Some time ago
an offer was made to restore Eagan
to duty if he would Immediately
apply for retirement, but he decln-
ed because his pay on the retired
list would be only S5,625 a year.
Under the law he will not reach the
age of compulsory retirement until
January 10, 1905, but there is talk
of getting bill through Congress
authorizing the President to place
upon the retired list any officer in
the army, navy, or marine corps
under suspension for longer per-
iod than one year. 1t is said that
Mr.. Mckinley has promised to
restore Eagan to duty.

Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents. but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life. then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance -or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the biood--every vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does. and
S the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows
a small pimpie came on my jaw about an inch
below the he left side of m face. vay~

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man, Of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this STANDARD arti
Gle know that it Is many hundred per cent
better than other cements, for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason Is that Mr.,
Major uses the best materials ever discov-
cred and other manufacturers 90 not use
them, because they are too expensive and dc
not allow large profits, Mr. Major tells us
one OF the elements Of his cement costs san
q pound, and another costs $2.65 a gallon.
and fluid glue upon the market are nothing
more than sixteen-ceUt glue, dissolved In
mortar or citric acid, and, In some cases, al.
tered slightly 10 color and odor by the addi-
tion of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retalls at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries 10 sell substitute you can depend upon
that his only object Is TO make larger profit,
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement
AnGthis is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share Of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts TO over 5000 month, throughout
the country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
offhand advice from a druggist.
Always have supply Of Majors Clements
on hand.
II you are at all handy land you will be
sure to find that you are good deal more
so than you imaginel you can repair your
rubber boots and family shoes, and any other
rubber and leather articles, with Majors
Rubber Cement and Majors Leather Cement,
And you will be surprised at how many
dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, | will be

"You have saved my life, snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost,
and l wish to thank you. About eigh-
teen'months ago was total wreck,

leucorrhea for some time, but had given
hardly any attention to the trouble.

fession musician and piano player,
was confined to my bed and life became
terrible cross. My husband sum-
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best. 1

morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not interviewed.

vertisement Of your remedies and i'm
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. lam

John Haughey, while at Joplin,
INQUIRED into the cost OF the decor
ations in the flower parade. The
majority of the buggies and carriages
cost from SO to So so to decorate, and
the Que that took the prize-the most
lavishly decorated carriage in the
parade, cost approximately So. The
idea that vehicle decorations are ex-
pensive is a mistake. A few dollars
will buy enough flowers to decorate a
buggy handsomely, and a few pennies
will buy sufficient paper to make
flowers for decorating almost any kind
of vehicle. The work Of making
flowers IS easy, and not single Vel.
lington person who owns buggy or
can hire one, should fail to be in the
parade. The people from the county
will be here in great numbers for the
Jubilee, and Wellington should make
a creditabe showing. In order to
make a creditable showing, every
person should make it point to be in
the flower parade. Remember that
the county is looking tn Wellington
for creditable flower plrade. WEI

genius at their command has enlisted
the amphiblOuS services Of educated
sea lions ard seals, in amazing and
amusing the public, and this, too, for
the first and only time in show annals.
To Captain Woodward belongs the
credit Of having, with iDeXhaustible
skill, patience, and kindness, brought
these strange, timid and terrestrially
most clumsy Arctic amphibia to per-
fectiOn of novel, performances, ap-
parently impossible to creatures with
nothing but clumsy, slippery fiippers

The result proved a continuous and
lucrative triumph in New York City
and has been generally exploited by
the press as, in every way, a most
original and interesting success. Cap
tain WoOdward's singular and sag
acious pupils will be found incredibly
proficient as soldiers, musicians, ball

Mrs. f. +. DemOrest OF Winfield,
reports the miraculous escape Of a
two year old child in a runaway at
Norwich Wednesday. The two year
old grandson Of Peter Brady, with its
mother were riding together in a
buggy, the mother driving the team,
when her bonnet blew of. She stop
ped and got out to get the bonnet,
handing the lines to the child. Before
she got the bonnet theGorses became
scared and started to run. The speed
kept increasing and when people ran
out to stop the team the little fellow
was in great glee, evidently thinking
they were trying to make fun for him.
One managed to get a twitch on the
lines, which jerked them out OF the
child'S hands. The team now became
wild with fright, and everybody was
horror stricken at the impending dis
aster. As the team turned a corner
the buggy tOppled onto one side and
the child slid into the buggy top, still
seated on the cushion. AS the buggy
tCppled over it struck the curbing,
the buggy top was broken of and the
buggy was thrown back to al upright
position. The little boy rolled from
the buggy top over and over onto the
ground, but not even scratch could
be found to give evidence OF his ad-
venture. The child was thus saved in
a seemingly miraculous manner. The
team ran FIVE miles before 1t was
STONED.
