Sufferers from this horrible rnalady|
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily 4
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-

HE DIED 4 CONVICT.
Death Robs Thomas Kelly of His Legal
Pardon.

Des Moines, Feb. 17.-s' Number 2069
died at o'clock this morning" was
the brief telegram that came to Major
Warren S. DUNCAN yesterday from War
den Hunter, of the Anamosa peniten-
tiary. ss
Number 2069 was Thomas Kelly OF
Charlton, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary for the murder of Charles
Archibald, an old miser, and whose
pardon would have been granted by
the legislature today. The death OF
Kelly ends the history of one of the
foulest murders ever committed in
Iowa. Attic Kelly paid the penalty OF
the crime, his wife, Margaret Kelly,who
escaped punishment, was always sup
posed to have been more guilty than
her husband.
An interesting phase Of the affair is
that Kelly would have been free man
il he had lived few days longer. An
effort was made to obtain his pardon
at the last session of the legislature,
but it was unsuccessful. The matter
came up. again Thursday, and both
house and senate passed a resolution
for his pardon. After the action was
taken, however, it was found that they
had passed concurrent resolution,
whereas joint one was necessary to
free him. The matter was then LAID
over to next week when it would have
been attended to had Kelly lived.

valldi,y Of Marriage Of slaves.

Camden, N. j., Feb. 17.--Judge ARM
strong, Of the Camden's Orphans
court, has knotty argument to solve,
the argument of which he heard to-
day. The question is, Could slaves
enter into lawful marriage? The fight
in the courts is over the distribution of
81, 900, left by John White, colored. A
son of William Dobbins, born in we'd
lock, is the petitioner. His father, now
dead, was a slave, and was a brother
of the woman known as Mary, slave.
The latter was the mother OF John
White, the decedent, and she is declared
by the petitioner to have been the law
full wife of John Whites father. This
established the relationship of cousin
between the petitioner and the dece-
dent, and in this relationship Dobbins
lays claim to the $1,000. When it was
proposed to establish the marriage OF
's'Uncle Bick," Whites father, and
Mary" counsel objected on the ques-
ton Of slaves having any possible right
to enter into contract of marriage.

The Division of Forestry will con-
Tinue the investigation of Paclflc coast !,
timber begun last summer and several
parties will start in June or earlier
for the redwood belt of California and
the red fir forest of Washington. Toe
nbject is to compare the reproduction
with the present depletion and to in
vestigate the possibility of reforesting |
logged-off lands. There will be from
fifteen to twenty-five men in each
state. Most of the work will be done
by young college men under the direc-
ton of government forest experts.
The research will be carried on in
pursuance of system which UNDER
takes by ascertaining the rate, of
growth and general life history of an
existing forest to foretell the behavior
of future one growing under like
conditions. Measurements will be
made and the age found OF several
thousand trees in the logging districts,
and large tracts will be cruised and sur
yeyed to find the stand of timber in
varying situations. By measuring and
counting the annual rings of tree at
several sections, an expert can deter
mine not only it's age but at what
stage it grew fastest, when it reached
maturity. and the exact amount of
wood added during any period. By
obtaining these figures for large areas
twill be possible to compute the time
necessary to raise successive crops III
the Pacific timber region.
This work will be especially valuable
to DIVERS of timber lands who are in
doubt as to the profit of paying taxes
on their property after it has been log
ged.
Among the applicants for government
assistance in the management of wood
lands is William Rockefeller. This gen
| tleman owns a tract of 10000 acres at
Bav Pond, Franklin county, New York,
ON which he has built hunting and
| fishing lodge. Much of the land has
been logged over, but there is large
tract of virgin timber which has passed
the stage of greatest production in a
natural state and is lying idle. Mr..
Rockefeller has asked for working
plan by which the mature timber can
| be turned into revenue without injury
to the forest as game preserve.
/ The section of working plans of the
division of forestry, which gives assist
ance to owners of timber lands desir-
| GUS of applying conservative methods
of outline. began the new year with
| applications representing nearly two
million acres. This innovation was in
PRODUCED in October, 1898, and has been
exceedingly popular, not only with
farmers owning small wood lots but
with large timber proprietors. The
purpose of the government in furnish
ing this assistance is chiefly to afford
object lessons to wasteful timber own.

DIVISION OF FORESTRY WORK
What 10 Being Done Toward Pre-.
serving American Forests. re

s Washing o. GU Feb. 3, 1902
The department OF the interior has
recently applied ito the department of
agriculture for complete working
plans, to be prepared by. the division of
forestry, for all OF the national forest
reservations in the west. This is one
Of the most important steps taken in
the administration of these reserves
since their creation by the president
and will, eventually, transform them
into a revenue producing part of the
national economy.
Several years will be required to exc
cute the project. 1t will be necessary
to determine the present condition of
the forest, what merchantable timber
occurs, and how. it can be, marketed to
meet continuously the requirements OF
the people without injury to the pro-
ductive power of the forest.
The Division Forestry will begin
work in few weeks in the Black Hills
reserve in South Dakota. This requires
the earliest attention becausesits tim
Der supply is needed by large num-
Der of settlers, miners and mill men.
The extent of this demand will be in
vestigated and plans devised for meet
ing it without exhaustion of the sup
ply. An estimate of standing timber
| will be made and the rste of growth
| will be studied in order to provide a
satisfactory basis for predicting the flu
| sure weld of the forest

Thirty-eight years ago yesterday
Capt. Charles C. Cloutman, with others
of this city, was killed in the memora-
Bile charge of the Second Iowa infan-
try at Fr. Donelson, on the Cumber-
land river, sixty miles below Nashville,
Tenn, while three persons, at least,
residents of Ottumwa, are now, living
after having participated in the battle.
On the 18th OF February 1862, Cen
eral Buckner, commanding the Confed-
crate forces, numbering 10000 men,
was intrenched behind Notifications
tnat were regarded by many as being
almost impregnable. The invading
army under Grant was superior in
numbers, necessarily SO because they
were the attacking party. For ten
days repeated and unsuccessful at
teinpts had been made by the boys in
blue to dislodge the enemy. The Sec
ond Iowa infantry occupied a position
on rhe extreme left of the Union army
and for ten days, without food or shell
i ter, had listened to the clash of arms
on the right, in the day time, while at
night the time was spent in suspense
and anxiety for what the morrow
might bring forth. On rhe Afternoon
ofsthe 18th of February, General Smith
rode up to Colonel futile in command
of the regiment and said: Colonel, dc

western Campaign In 1862.

1862 in the west opened with the Con-
4 federates,a defensive line running from
the Mississippi river eastward to the
Cumberland mountains. The left was
at Columbus, on the Mississippi river.
Forts Henry and Donelson guarded the
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. "A
considerable army at Bowling Green
covered the great railroad lines south
ward to- Nashville. The right flank
sswas held by a force posted at Mill
a Spring, Kentucky. General Albert
Sydney Johnston was in command of
the southern forces of the west.
On the Union side there was an army
at Cairo and vicinity under General
Grant Bowling Green was threaten
ed by an army under General Buell..
sld9he force az Mill Spring was threat
lened by body Of troops under Gener-
al Thomas. General Hallack was gen.
.eral-in-chief Of these forces.
Mill Spring was attacked in January,
s1862. General Thomas was successful
and the southern general, Zollicoffer,
was killed.
The second action of the campaign
was mixed land and naval expedition
4 made against Forts Henry and Donel-
son. A hotilla of western-built gun
Sboats was under command of Commo-
dore Foote; the land force was under
General Grant. The feet sailed up the
Tennessee river to Fort Henry, where
q after brief fight on February 6, the
fertilization surrendered, not however,
until large part of the Confederate
garrison escaped to Fort Donelson.
& Grant now advanced upon the latter
place, and appeared before it February
~. After several severe engagements
the garrison, consisting OF about 5000
men, capitufated on the morning of
February 16.
The capture of these forts was con-
sidered a very severe blow to the
south. This was so, not only on ac-
count Of the actual loss of men, but
because the opening of the Cumber-
land and Tennessee rivers to the Union
gunboats destroyed the whole defen.
sive line taken up by the Confederates.
General Albert Sydney tombstone was
compelled to abandon Kentucky and a
large part of Tennessee. He retired
to Murfreesboro. The Union army
under Buell., followed up closely and
on the 23d Of this month, 1862, took
possession of Nashville.
While the capture of Donelson shook
the center of the Confederate defensive
line, it also endangered its left, thattis
the stronghold, of Columbus. This
place the Confederates immediately
abandoned and moved down ito Island
No. 10 and New Madrid. Columbus
was subsequently occupied by thu
