CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
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 APP
pearance-or a swollen gland In the
breast, or some other part OF the body
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perusas
rently all the poisonous virus must b
eliminated from the blood--every vestago
of it driven out This S. S. S. does. and
is 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

AN ASSURING STATEMENT.

The letter of former President Per-
kins of the Burlington, addressed to the
editor of the Burlington Hawkeye, with
reference to the impending change of
ownership of the Burlington system, is
an assuring statement for people of Ne
braska, and other states served by that
railroad. The interest of these states is,
that the road be operated as a distinct
line and managed with view to the
development and upbuilding of the re-
sources of the territory it traverses.
Mr.. Perkins insists that the proposed
sale Of stock by no means constitutes
"the passing away of the Burlington
SYSTEM" but on the contrary that there
will be no change in name or manage
ment, nor in the method of doing bust
ness.
What has made the Burlington
strong, has been it's policy of expansion
and it's Identification with the country
from which it draws it's traffic. The
growth of the Burlington, and the set
Element of these states has been stimuli

PENSIONERS DISABILITIES.

The discovery made by Secretary
Morton, during the last Cleveland ad-
ministration, that some of his clerks
were drawing pensions for incurable
ailments, although the life insurance
companies had taken them as first-rate
risks, after most searching investiga-
ton, is recalled by conversation which
Representative Loudenslager of New
Jersey, Chairman of the House Com
mittee OIL Pensions, had with an old
acquaintance in a street-car in Phila-
delphia the other day.

missioner of Pensions, as has been sug-
gested in the newspapers" began the
acquaintance. "I have always wanted
them to turn Evans out. He won't give
me pension. I know that if you were
Commissioner you would decide favor
ably in all such cases as mine"
"On what ground do you expect a
pension % asked Mr.. Loudenslager.
"For disability"
"What is it?'
"Bad eyesight.'

BURLINGTON'S COMBINATION.
BosToN, April "a, 1901.

BosToN, April "a, 1901.
Ny Dear Mr.. Waite:
Will you let me try to correct a mis-
apprehension about the proposed sale of
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy stock to
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railway companies? 1t is not by
any means the passing away of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy" as
described in some of the newspapers.
On the contrary, there will be no change
in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
name or management, and the alliance
of the properties will greatly benefit all
of them, and all of the people they serve.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
company will continue to do business
precisely as heretofore, with Mr.. Harris
as president and the organization un-
changed. But it will be assured of,
what it does not now possess, perma-
nent connection by the shortest line

taneous. The future Of Nebraska, as
the past, depends largely upon the ex-
tent to which the railroads cooperate
in building up it's industries, and it is
gratifying to know that the Burlington
management, no matter what the
change in ownership may be, realizes
that its prosperity is inseparably bound
up with that of the people along it's
lines.
Mr.. Perkins expresses the belief that
the union of the Burlington with the
Great Northern and the Northern Paci-
fic, will greatly benefit all of them, and
all of the people they serve, by giving
the Burlington permanent connection
with the great northwest and opening
to it the commerce of the Pacific Ocean,
by way of Puget sound and the Colum-
bia river, while the northern routes
secure permanent connection by the
shortest line with the agricultural and
manufacturing communities of the
west. He draws an apt comparison of
the combined railroads, with the line
of march of the famous Lewis and
Clark expedition, which took possession
Of the Louisiana purchase for the
United States, 100 years ago. If this is
the natural traffic route, the union can
not fail to be strong one.
It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr.
Perkins expectations, SO far as the ben
eficial results to the territory, girdled by
these roads are concerned, will not be
disappointed. His assurances, coming,
as they do, with the highest authority,
can certainly be relied on, as indicating
the real views of the men behind the

with the great northwest, rich in
minerals and lumber, with it's markets
for agricultural and other products, and
with the commerce of the Pacific Ocean
by way of Puget sound and the Colum-
bia river On the other hand the
northern roads will be assured of per-
manent connection by the shortest line
with the agriculture and manufactures
of the middle west, and the markets to
be found there for the products of the
north and the commerce of the Pacific.
No argument is necessary to show that
this assured permanency is Of the great
est Importance to all of the interests
concerned, the people as well as the
railroads.
AS to the management, there is not
only no intention to make changes in
the official staff and organization, but
the strongest desire on the part of those
who are proposing to buy the stock, to
hold onto Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
men and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
methods.
The whole effect of the combination
will be beneficial. Please look at a map
and see for yourself how the lines of
these corporations fit into and supple
ment each other. And when doing so, it
will interest you to trace, and compare
with these railroads of today, the line of
march of Lewis and Clark, who took
possession of the Louisiana purchase for
the government of the United States
hundred years ago.
I expect to return to Burlington in
the course of two or three weeks, and
hope for many years to occupy my
Office in the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy building and continue my
interest in the affairs of the company
with it's enlarged opportunities and
possibilities. Yours very truly,
G. E. PERKINS.

to all of us and respected by all who had
the felicity of his friendship. His was
an active and useful life and he earned
