Cancer Cured!!

Mr.. w. w. Prickett, Smith
field, Ills, writes, Sept. 10, 1901
1 had been suffering several
years with a cancer on my face,
which gave me great annoyance
and unbearable itching. [ was
using Ballard 5 Snow Liniment
for a sore leg, and through an
accident, [ rubbed some of the
liniment on the cancer, and as it
gave me almost instant relief, 1
decided to continue to use the
llnlment on the cancer. In a
short time the cancer came out,
my face healed up and there is
not the slightest scar left. l

Company B., First Battalion,

February LIST, to participate in a
competitive drill with New Iberia
and other towns. The day will

ross in that good town, and there
will of course be other attractions
besides The competitive drill.
The Iberia boys are Spanish war
veterans, but Capt. Stewart says
we can do 'cm' and he knows
what he's talking about. Wea
going there, anyway, and, as the
street gaman would say, 'They'H
sure think they've been to a drill'

The Street Fair.

The street fair has been going
on during the week and has been
vel: attended. It is under the
active management of DR.. f.. r.
Girard, and given under the aus
pices of the merchants and bust
ness men of the town for the
benefit of the Sontag Military
Band. The gentlemen belonging
to the band and DR.. Girard have
endeavOred to eliminate all at
fractions which might prove OBJ
jectionable, and to maintain or
DERBY conduct within the enclo-
SureS of the fair and as a whole
they have succeeded in doing so.
Many ladies' and children have
consequently attended the daily
performances.
To-day and tomorrow the
management have made special
efforts to give interesting pro
grams. Tomorrow excursions
will run from Washington on the
Alexandria branch, and from
Franklin and intervening points.
The militia companies from
New Iberia and OpelOusas will
take part in Sundays program,
and will give a competitive drill.
Both are newly organized com
panies and sharp rivalry ma
turally exists between them,
with fact assures a pretty con-
test to lovers of the military.
The Gazette again wishes to call
public attention to the common
dable cause for which the fair is
held. The Sontag band is one of
the most public spirited organi-
zaGiOns of this town, and it be-
hOoves every citizen to promote
this undertaking if only to assist
the band boys.

THE BENNETT CUP RACE.
Thought That Authorities in Ireland
Will Not Interfere.

London, May 26.-Whether the inter
national automobile races for the
James Gordon Bennett cup which was
to be run in Ireland, July 2, will b"
held now in view of the disastrous end
to the Paris Madrid contest is anxious
ly discussed on all sides. The com
mittee of the British Automobile Club
has issued a statement explaining the
different conditions and pointing out
that there will be only II competitors
in the Irish contest while 1000 coz
;stabulary assisted by troops and the
race officials, will keep the course. n
man being stationed every hundred
yards Then all the II cars will be of
approximately the same speed thus to
a great extent avoiding the constant
passing and repassng which was a
characteristic of the Paris Madrid race.
II is not considered likely that the
Parliamentary sanction given to the
I1ish contest will be revoked now, but
fn"rc is no doubt that in the future
such sanction for motor races Will be
more difficult to obtain.

preparations. Japanese correspondents
at Pekin tell of large guns arriving over

Chow, who has been investigating on
behalf of the Hong Kong charities, says
that owing to three successive failures

by hundreds. During March and April
it is computed that 10000 people We're
sold, men selling themselves for en-
ployment in the Straits Settlement and
the women and children being sold into
slavery on the coast.
Story after story of distress was told
by the missionary. He told of famish-
ed people dying in the act of eating
when food was brought to them: of
people reduced to skeletons being
abandoned and of mothers selling
daughters into lives of slavery for a
mere bit of rice. 1t was said by the

THE PRESIDENT
Visiting Growing Towns and
Cities Of Washington.
Much Pleased with Endorsement Just
Given Him by Ohio Republicans.
Now That the Question Has Arisen, He
Is Candidate.

Pasco, Wash, May 25.-The Presi-
dents train, which left Seattle, at li.3o
last night, over the Northern Pacific
railway, glidede down the beautiful va
kima valley, today. The first speech of
the day was made at Clellum, in the
Cascade mountains, to a thousand coal
miners, who had come down from
Roslyn. AT North Yakima, the Presl-
dent spoke on irrigation to large au-
dience. He dwelt here on the import
ance of irrigating and of the approval
of the acts of the last session OF Con-
gress. AT Ellensburg, the President
spoke Is minutes on good citizenship
TO 5000 people,
The president asked that Capt. Stein
man of the LIST Washington Regiment
be presented to him at the close of the
speech. While speaking he referred to
Steinmans company as having been
the seVerest sufferers among the vol
unteers in the Philippine campaign.

THE NEGRO QUESTION
Discussed from Pulpit by Rev. DR.. Hill
lis of Brooklyn.

New York. May 25-Referring again
to the recent tedency of the discussion
on the negro question, the Rev. DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, in Plymouth
church. Brooklyn, said, yesterday:
Just now the, whole country is suf-
ferirg from a reaction on the negro
question and the colOred race have
known month of such depression and
sorrow and heart ache as they have not
known in 40 years And there is rea-
son for the depression. Consider the
PRESBYTERIAN preacher in New York,
who. last week. said that the emanici-
patton of the slave was like the release
of criminals from the penitentiary and
that the future of the niger was black
er and blacker and more hopeless.
"ConsiIer that editorial in the Rich
mond paper that. commenting on the
speech of Southerner and of the great
religious editor in New York, said that
two men might have evidently ex-
changed addresses. Think of the
Southern soldier who insists in his ar
ticle that the negro is an animal, that,
like the dog and horse. he has by aSSo-
citation borrowed some of mans charac-
teristics but that he is without soul and
that he fears like the animal and never
can have home.
In 1866 Mr.. Beecher said here that
we must insist on suffrage for the ne
gro: that races, like children, are
trained by responsibility; that the
poorest government of an ignorant man
who governs himself is better than the
best government that is imposed upon
him from without. Mr.. Beecher also
said that in view of the centuries OF
injustice and slavery it might take a
century before we would see the out
cropping of an occasional orator. an oc-
casionaI coIored educator. What if Mr..
Beecher could return today? He would
find that the greatest orator from many
points of view in the country is a ne
gro and black man, today, receives
from $50 to $500 night and there is
only one other man in the country who
receives as much.
The colored people are needlessly
alarmed. The reaction is an eddy from
the South itself. All the enemies of
liberty whether they want to or not
nave to help the forces of liberty.

NEW coALING STATION
To Be Established at Dutch Harbors
Aleutian Islands.

Washington, May 25-Admiral Dewey.
as president of the general board. has
made a report to Secretary Moody recon-
mending the immediate establishment OF a
coal station at Dutch Harbor. Alaska. and
the erection there of coal depot with an
initial capacity of 5000 tons. The esti-
mated cost of the work is about $5l, 600
The money is now available. Believing
the establishment of a coal depot at this
strategic point will strengthen the United
States on the Pacific ocean, the President
has heartily approved the plan and pre-
liminary steps in the work have been TAX
en- already.
Aleutian islands and Is on the direct conf
mercal route between the ports of Beh-
ring sea and southern Alaska and the Pa
cfic coast OF the United States Its use
as coal depot site was first recommend
ed by Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau 70 equipment His recommendation
was referred to the general board and is
plans.
Read Admiral Bradford in his report
recommending this new coaling station
said: Attention is also invited to one of
the great political questions of the day,
viz: the. settlement of the boundary be-
tween the territory of Alaska and the Do
minion Of Canada. There Is abundant evil
dence going to show that the spirit of
Canada on this manner may be considered
as threatening. Between Alaska and the
continental limits of the United States is
located the domain of a foreign country.
The territory separating Alaska has good
harbors and ample anterior waters, and
this fact alone constitutes great strateg-
ic advantage to possible opponent. 1t
certainly constitutes a strong reason why
the sinewS of war, whatever they may
be, should be stored in Alaska.

to the President Loeb. this afternoon,

I'm speaking of the sudden political de-
velopments in Ohio, the President, this

and those who do not will oppose them
The President also said he was deeply
touched by the action of President Nc
