ONE OF MANY.

THE friends in Monroe and elsewhere
of MI. Walter S. Adair, who has been
under medical treatment for several
months in Richmond, will be sincerely
glad to know that he has been entirely
cured of the dreadful sore upon his
face, from which he has suffered since
last year. He had been treated by a
number of skilled physicians, and after
a month under such care in Richmond
returned last October to Red Sulphur
Springs, with the promise that he would
soon be restored. But, instead of get
ting well, he returned to Richmond last
January much worse. An esteemed cor
respondent wrote as follows: Mr.
Adair was treated by the same emil
nent physicians six weeks longer, but
the place on his face grew worse all
the time. Finally he was induced to go
to the Kellam Cancer Hospital There
he found relief. In less than three
weeks the dreadful place came off, and
his face healed most rapidly. Mr.. KEEL
lam has a wonderful secret, and one
that seems a God-send to suffering hui
manity. 1t is a rare thing that a case
comes to the Hospital too far gone for
this man to cure. He has big heart,
too You do not have to possess for
tune to get relief in this institution.
You have. also. while in the Hospital,
the kindest treatment from every one. y
Monroe Watchman, of Union w. Va,
of June 27, 1901.
This case came under our observation
and we noticed with interest the rapid
improvement and final cure of the pa
tient.

In the Colombian Uprising Traffic Across the
Isthmus 10 n ,rrupted.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press')
Washington, August 6.-Consul Gunger'
at Panama, today cabled the State De-
partment as follows:
"RebeIs detained for one hour passeh-
ger at Matachin this morning. captured
some government vessels; no looting' no
damage"
The dispatch OF Consul Gudger may
prove Of some Importance in determining
the course of the United States toward
the Columbian uprising, as Matachin,
the point mentioned where the revolu-
tonists stopped a train, is directly on
the line of the Panama Railroad Com
pany and the proposed route of the canal.
1t is the first official indication that there
is interruption of the traffic across the
Isthmus The United States is bound by
treaty to keep this traffic open to the
world. Whether any positive steps Will
be taken depends largely upon the extent
TO which the revolutionists are able to
interfere with free transit across the
Isthmus.
The dispatch was not communicated to
the Navy Department and there appears
no need for the dispatching of warshp
TO those waters.
