GANGER

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 ap-
pearance or a swollen gland IN the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the hrst warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blOod-every vestage

COLLATERAL IN SIGHT
For the $1oO,OOO,OOo Union Pacific
Bonds to Be Listed.

New York, May 22.-The Tribune
says: Bankers affiliated with the Har-
riman syndicate say that collateral for
the entire 800, 600, 900 Union Pacific first
lien convertible 4 per cent. gold bonds
of 1901, recently authorized, application
for listing which has been posted at the
stock exchange, has already been de-
posted by the Union Pacific, but the
exact nature of this collateral cannot
be learned. It is understood that the
$75, 900 900 of Southern Pacific stock pur-
chased in February with the proceeds
of $40, 900 900 Of the bonds represents
part of 1t, and it is assumed that the
Northern Pacific stock recently bought,
aggregating at least SIS, 600 900 par
value. according to the statements of
Union Pacific interests, also will be de-
posted as collateral security. No eSti-
paid by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for their
Northern Pacific holdings, although it
is believed on good authority that they
secured most of their preferred stock at
well under par.
A provision exists, it is said, by which
a substitution of collateral may be
effected; so that if the whole amount
of Northern Pacific stock bought shall
be turned in as collateral part of the
company's property originally covered
by the mortgage may be withdrawn
from that obligation. 1t is the opinion
in the street that the $50 000.00 bonds,
If sold at par, as were the SIC, 0000, 900,
which were disposed of at the tine of
the Southern Pacific purchase, would
not meet the cost of the Northern Pa
cific shares boz ght by Kuhn, Loeb &
Co The suggestion is therefore heard
that possibly some arrangement may
have been made for the sale of part of
those stock holdings in the St. Paul
and the northwestern. the safeguarding
of the interests of which was declared
to be partly the object of Mr.. Hartman

Eastern Road Said to Be in Con-

New York. May 22--The Tribune says:
The conference just held between A J.
Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad; William K. Vanderbilt, H.
Mex. Twombley and other directors of
the New York Central at the Grand
Central station, led to the report that a
successor to Samuel r. Galloway was
the subject under discussion. This was
denied last night. It is now said that
the western situation-that is the control
of Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
was under discussion. It is understood
that the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central will act in harmony in pro-
tecting their interests in the western
territory, Just as they act in harmony
in the east. The Pennsylvania is prac-
tically in control of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad now and will,
it is said. operate it in harmonious re-
lations with the Union Pacific and Chi
cago & Northwestern both of which are
practically Vanderbilt roads. It is also
said that the Morgan-Hill scheme in the
northwestern territory is viewed by
these interests with disfavor

MONSTER BATTLESHIP.
q. S. Plans to Build Worlds
Largest War Vessel.

New York, May 22.-If the report
heard at the navy department prove
correct, saws a Times special from
Washington and congress approves the
recommendation of Rear Admiral
Bowles and the construction board, the
United States may have a battleship of
$4,000 tons displacement with CORES
ponding armament. thus providing a
warship of formidable proportions. The
largest battleshiD now owned by any
naval power is of a little more than H.
600 tons displacement. It is related that
the largest one present at the funeral
demonstration in honor of Queen Vic
toria, was a Japanese battleship recent
" completed and displacing $1,000 tons
Great Britain has several battleships Of
equal tonnage on the way and Italy's
Lepanto is of 10 900 tons
The British and japanese battleships
of $1,000 tons draw 27 feet of water or
more. That would prevent their entry
into many of our harbors and the fact
that many American harbors cannot af-
ford water for vessels of such draught
has led to the construction of battle
ships drawing the least possible water
consistent with stability The mean
draught of the Maine class will be less
than "a feet. The idea is to produce a
vessel that will not draw much more
with the displacement of $1,000 tons.
Some members of the construction.
board hope to secure designs promising
a speed of p knots. which if obtained
would make the new battleship equal
in speed and superior in power to most
of the armored cruisers now af1oat and
make her a formidable antagonist of the
most powerful battleship yet built

Sore throat has many names. Some
call it catarrh of the pharynx- It is also
called chronic tOnsilitis- Follicular
pharyngitiS is the name that doctors de-
light to call it, as they generally prefer
the longer words. Public speakers and
preachers are so prone to have sore
throat, thar it is sometimes called
preachers sore throat
1t makes little difference what name
we call it-just plain sore throat is hard
enough to bear without indulging in
long names. Chronic sore throat gener-
ally begins by a scratching sensation IN
the throat. and there may be a little
dryness or constant desire to keep swal-
lowing. Painful swallowing and hawk
ing is sure to come later if nothing is
done for it.
Sore throat is almost certain, after it
has become chronic, to gradually extend
downward to the lungs, When this hap
pens consumption is often the result.
The time to cure sore throat is in Its
early stages. A bottle or two of Peruna
is sure to put a stop to the whole thing.
If Mr.. Charles D. Smyth, whose testi-
mOniaI appears here had used Peruna
at the beginning of his trouble. he

leader. now in this city, issued a state
ment last night regarding the treat
nent of political and military prisoners
bv the present Colombian government
He said:
1.-The penitentiary at Bogota is a
small one, and in it have been crowded
more than 1000 political prisoners be-
sides 500 ordinary criminals. In order
to get sleep the prisoners have to take
turns at lying down, as there IS not
enough room for all to lie down at once
Their beds are the damp, cold and filthy
Movement of the prison. There being
neither water nor sanitary faclntles'
the wretches breathe only poisoned air,
and smallpox, dysentery and typnuS
fever have been playing havoc among
the unfortunate creatures
.sThese statements are confirmed in
the records published by the official
hoard of health. Well known and
prominent men have been loaded with
heavy chains Among the prisoners is
a large number of boys from 10 to IA
wears old The methods followed for
sending people to the dungeons have
been copied after those of the inquisi-
ton: that is, the anonymous denuncia-
tions.
Gen. Marceliano velez the comman-
der-in-chief, on being appealed to by
the prisoners, and finding himself
powerless to put a stop to the horrors,
resigned.

lease the prisoners if I would issue a

fighting. In spite of the fact that the
government has not kept its word, the

dismissal on Saturday night. Anderson
was there for work and worked all day

ever, that Schick had sent for men to
take their places and would let out the

laid down their implements at o'clock

he was afraid he would lose his turn.
We work piece-work, getting our work
by turns. When one of the boys assured
him he would not lose his turn. he got
mad and called him name. There was
some contention going on between us
all the time Last Saturday night we
told Schick he would have to go Schick
promised to send him out, but didn't say
when.
On Monday we all worked as usual,
Anderson included Yesterday he was
not working. We found out that Schick
had sent away for mattress makers and
was going to let us out one or two at a
time. He has two men coming from
Lincoln and some more from Kansas
City. We concluded not to wait for
them to come and take our places 50 we
quit at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
"Schick, his manager and Anderson
were working last night to get out some
rush orders. We understand that he
was going to put Anderson back 70
work and the new men would be here to
go to work Monday. We quit ahead of
being discharged.
The strikers are doing picket duty
now to induce the new men not to go
to work when they come in They do
not have a labor organization.
Mr.. Schick did not deny the state
ments made by the men when asked
about the walkout. I'VE have got to
