CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly alway3 inherit II, - not necessarily
from the parents, but may bc 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 sorc or ulcer makes its ap.
pcarancc or q swollen gland in the
breast, or come other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
ncntly all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the b,ood-cycry vestage
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
disease never returns

Did NOT TRY WATER GASES
City Attorney spencer's Trip to Leav-
enworth Was Fruitless.

City Attorney Spencer returned
Thursday from Leavenworth where he
has been attending the session of the
United States circuit court.
The city of Topeka has two cases
pending in that court, both with the To-
pela Water company.
One of the cases, which was set for
hearing at this term, and continued,
was the case of E Summerfield, receiv-
er for the water company, against the
city. J. w. O'Neil, however, is really
the plaintiff. as he has taken Mr.. Sum
merfeld's place as receiver. The claim
of the water company is that it had a
contract with the city of South Topeka,
prior to the time when South Topeka
was annexed. This contract called for
a certain water rate, and was abroga-
ted by the city when the annexation
took place This suit will likely be
tried at the November term of the cir
cult court, which will sit in Topeka
The other case in the circuit court is
the injunction suit of the Topeka Water
company. to restrain the city from en-
forcing the schedule of water rates fix
ed by the mayor and council in 1897.
The only question in this case now is
whether or not the rates are reasonable
all other points having been decided by
the courts since the suit was filed.

QUARRELED WITH CHURCH.
Herman Warszawiak, of Presbyterian
Fame. Again in Court.

New York, June Herman Warsz-
awiak has appeared before a referee on
a petition for discharge in bankruptcy
proceedings. The history of Warszawiak
in this country has been full of interest
owing to the keen partisanship aroused
by his quarrel with the Presby
authorities. WarszaWiak came to this
country as a convert to Christianity
in 1891, and instituted an American mis-
sion for the Hebrews. His name still
appears as superintendent of the in
stitution- In spite of his expulsion from
the Presbyterian church he was rein
stated in the winter of 1899. A year
earlier he had filed a. petition in bank
ruptcy, showing liabilities of 1921, ,305.
The largest creditor was a Mrs Aninka
Nicolas. who figured for $4,000, money
lent Mrs. Nicolas opposed the petit
ton for discharge. She says the money
was advanced by her to establish a hat
factory for the employment of Jewish
labor in connection with WarszaWiak's
proselytizing works. She says there is
no evidence to show that such 9. factory
was ever eSta bIiShed

GOV. CRAWFORD'S DEAL.
Files Application For Lease of $4,000
Acres of OIL Land

Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford is
an attorney, along with ex-senator
John NJ Thurston, of Nebraska, for the
Cherokee Oil and Gas company, which
has filed application in the interior de-
partment for a lease of 9S, 900 acres of
oil land in the Cherokee nation. This
application is the first of several other
requests for big concessions that are
to be made in a few days
The renewal of this fight before the
department is certain to precipitate an
other aggravated struggle between the
representatives of the Cherokee nation
on the one hand and the attorneys for
the oil companies on the other.
The Cherokee treaty ratified by con-
gress at the last session and which was
recently defeated by a majority of the
members of that tribe was rejected
solely because it contained a provision
which was construed to be favorable to
the oil people It was admitted. how
ever, that the oil provisions of the
treaty were not as satisfactory to the
companies as the provisions of the
Curtis law, which gives the oil people
the rights they are now making claim
for.

IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC.
Committee Attempts to Arrange Cali
fornia Business.

Chicago, June THE advisory COM
mittee of the immigrant bureau of the
Western Passenger association held a
meeting here and took action in regard
to a number of questions relating to
immigrant business. The most import
ant action was a Encouragement of the
distribution of immigrant business to
California. Owing to the extension of
of the Santa F'e to San Francisco it
has become necessary that the Southern
Pacific be brought into membership. A
committee consisting of John Sebastian
of the Rock Island, George T. Nicholson
of the Santa F7e, W. B. Kniskern OF the
Chicago & Northwestern, and E. L.
Lonax of the Union Pacific, has been
appointed to take up the matter.
Consideration was also given to a
proposition to appoint a European rep
resentative to keep the roads advised as
regards the immigrant situation in
Europe.

ETHELBERT,s GREAT TRlAL
BeImont's Horse Makes a Mile and
Fourth in 2.O6.

New York, June 7.-Horsemen familiar
with conditions on the Metropolitan cir
cunt are looking forward to a broken
record in the running of the Suburban
handicap next week and one of the most
recent justificatiOns for this belief is the
latest performance of one of the most
prominent candidates, Perry Belmont's
Ethelbert
over the course of the Coney Island
Jockey club at Sheepshead Bay he
worked the fastest trial ever shown for
a Suburban handicap, running the mile
and a quarter in 2:06 and his box was
pulling him up all through the last fur
long. Horsemen who witnessed the
work say it was the best private per-
Torrance seen in years and one of the
best ever seen. The only trial which ex-
celled it that they could recall was that
of Tenny when in his trial for his fam
GUS match race with Salvador, he worked
the distance in 2:055z. The record at
that time was 2:061z, made by Kingston
and which in the match race was re-
duced to 2:05. Ethelbert's work was
done in impressive style, the horse at no
time apparently being extended In the
opinion of horsemen the Sheepshead
course this year is faster by two seconds
than it ever was before. Last year
Brighton was the fastest track on the
Metropolitan circuit, but this year it will
have difficulty in holding its own with
the Coney Island course.

PATCHES.
Why Brown Ones Come on Faces.

When a woman can get rid of brown
patches on her face by changing her
diet it is worth while for other women
who care for their complexions to know
something of the method.
A lady in Michigan City, Ind. who
does not want her name mentioned,
says that coffee caused the brown patch
es on her face giving her stomach trou-
Bile, then putting her nerves out of order,
and the result was shown in her com
plexion.
She quit coffee and began using Pos
tuun Food Coffee and in less than a
month the stomach trouble disappeared
and within two months her complexion
cleared up and is now fine and rosy.
She speaks of a Mr. knight and Gid
con Hunt, Of Westfield, Ind who have
both been improved in health by leav-
ing off coffee and taking in its place Pos
tun1 Food Coffee. also a Mr.. and Mrs
Jesse Stanley, of the same place, who
were in Door health and suffered from
stomach trouble They quit coffee and
after using Postum a short time the re-
suit was natural sleep, return Of ap-
as nature will rebuild.
She gives the names of q number Of
other persons who have been helped by
leaving Off coffee and taking Postum
Food Coffee.
1t is a safe proposition that If any cof-
bic, or bad complexion, he or she can
get rid of the trouble by disseminating
coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee.
1t Is easy enough to prove the truth Of
this by making trial. Every first class
grocer sells Postum.

HELD IN SUSPENSE.
Trouble in Republican County Com
mittee Still Smouldering.


The Republican county central com
mittee met Thursday and adjourned
without any particular trouble al
though it looked for awhile as if a reg
ular political turmoil might be precipi-
tated at any minute.
IN the first place the executive com
mittee was called to canvass the re-
turns. George w. Crane, who was not
a member of the executive committee.
thought that the entire committee of 81
should help in the canvass, so he issued
a call for the entire committee Chair
man J. E. Larimer was busy with the
mayoralty recount and A d. Bauer pre-
sided as chairman of the old committee
in his absence.
Another small matter which was ex-
pected to create no little trouble was an
anonymous call issued for the new COM
mittee to meet and organize. Everyone
who wanted to be chairman was ac-
cused of issuing the call and nobody
seems to know who was responsible for
it.
Another reason why trouble was ex-
pected was because the candidates
nominated at the last primaries wished
certificates of nomination issued to
them reading that they should be the
Republican candidates at the next gem
era1 election while it was supposed that
the wishes of the candidates would be
opposed by some one and that the con-
tention would be that the certificates
should read for the election to be held
November, 1901, which would mean il
the biennial election law was held valid
that there were no nominations made
for 1902
The executive committee met and
canvassed the returns. Mr.. Crane at
tempted to be recognized but Chairman
Bauer recognized only the members of
the executive committee and the call
ing Of the enire committee together was
a fizzle. There was considerable inter-
est and the room was packed with
members Of the old committee and the
new committee
Immediately after the adjournment
of the old committee the new commit
tee met. VIII Van Ordal was elected
temporary chairman and D. T. Gregg
temporary secretary. 1t was expected
that there would be a lively time Ev-
eryone wanted to know who issued the
anonymous call and nobody seemed to
know A motion was made to adjourn
till June %. and carried with a whoop.
The following are the candidates who
will go before the committee at the
election of officers June 29: Robert
Stone, Otis Hungate and George w.
Crane Fod secretary, John w. Gardi-
ner and Phil Eastman.
