The only medical man who has ever
originated anything of value in regard
to the cause, prevention and cure of
CANCER, is DR.. Melville G. Keith, of
Ohio. He uses no knife, plaster or
poison drugs, but we are willing to
satisfy any interested party that
cancer can be cured without any cut
ing and will stay cured s3tf.
II. 0. Orvold, merchant tailor, ad-
vertises his fine stock of cloths in the
PLAIN DEALER to-day. He is master
of the art of giving fits to his
patrons and whatever your form he
can tit the garment to suit it. He has
lately had his shop fitted up and re-
furnished in fine style and is better
prepared than ever to attend your
wants.
Leonard e. Snow received tele-
gram Saturday, from his father, S. r.
Snow, that he had been burned out
that morning 2 O'Clock, meeting
with total loss. He was still locat-
ed at Little Falls, Mimi. but had rent
ed and taken possession Of a new ho-
tel the Wednesday previous, buying
the furniture, on which the previous
owner carried no insurance, and which
he himself had neglected to have in
Sured.
Everybody who has an ak to grind
invites the press to turn for them, in
the interest of the press of course, the
party laying the scheme not expecting
any reward. About this time of the
year the newspapers are flooded with
these propositions. With forty ole
years experience behind US we find
the only certain boom for paper is
to make it better than its contempo-
raries. The public can discern such
quality and will pay for it.
The board of supervisors after two
weeks session adjourned Saturday af-
ternoon having in the meantime
transacted a large amount of business
in thorough and careful manner.
That body acts for the county precise
| ly as if the business being transacted
was their own personal matter. OF
course much of the matter that comes
before them for settlement is outside
OF. their regular lines Of business, and
the caution and care in its adjustment
is not as rapid as with business more
in their lines of business dealing. But
1T is honest and safe for the county.

Hon. Wallace Bruce will deliver one
OF his popular lectures in the Metho-
dist church Saturday evening, Jan. 26.
John Farnsworth heard him last win
ter and speaks very highly of his
pleasant manner and of his oratory
and eloquence. Besides this the lead
ing newspapers of the country are un-
bounded in their praise, one saying:
'It was more than an entertainment,
it was an hour Of inspiration" JUS
tice Brewer OF the Supreme Court of
the U. S, says, "Wallace Bruce is one
of the orators of the country. +" Chaun-
cey Depew, eX-Goy. Woodford, both
orators, speak of him as an orator of
rare eloquence. The admission to this
rare feast OF wit, oratory and elo-
quencc is only IS cents.
