ing at Pierce

The recent troubles between China
men in this city which has been widely
published in the press has been much
cause for comment, not so much owe,
the petty quarrels of the local mon
golians but from the fact that Lem
You, one Of the participants, is alleged
70 be one of the party OF Cinnamon
who took part in the Fraser murder
Pt Pierce City in 1885. The Wallace
correspondent of the Spokesman Re-
view has the following to say with
eierence to the matter:
While discussing the recent Chinese
roubles at Lewiston, an account OF
which appeared in The Spokesman Re-
new, several of the old timers of Sho-
none county were struck by the name
y Lem You, one of the celestials, and
ney wondered If he was not the Lem
'ou the Chinese murderer who alone
six celestials escaped from the
u'ches of the Infatuated people of
ierce City after the murder of D. NJ.
raser, in September, 1885.
Inc conversation over the name led
discussion of The murder of Fraser
the six Cinnamon, which aroused all
ne country surrounding Pierce City as
rooably has no other murder ever oc-
ufring in Northern Idaho.

CURE OF CANCER.
IL Is Said to BE Possibility--Ex-
pcriments Not Finished.

Buffalo. n. Y. Jan. 16.-Scien-
lists who have been making a spe-
cial study of cancer since 1899.
under the patronage of the state of
New York at the University OF Buff
falo, are ready to report that they
are on the verge of a solution of the
great problem.
They have proved two important
facts. One is that cancer Is a para
site disease and infections, It having
been transplanted and reproduced in
perfectly healthy animals. What Is
OF even more importance is the dis
covery of an antitoxin or serum
which, in cases not too pronounced,
will cure the disease. The disease
in animals has been cured by the ad-
lhinistration of a serum prepared in
the Buffalo laboratory.
Experimentally considered, the
questions of the cause of cancer and
It's absolute durability are settled
facts. What remains now Is the APP
plication of the results of animal ex-
perimentation to the cure of the dis
ease as II exists in the human telng.
Much work remains to be done be-
fore DR.. Roswell Park, director of
the laboratory. will be prepared to
make the final announcement of the
discovery of serum suitable for use
i'm the alienation and cure OF cancer
in human beings, but that this will
be forthcoming in due time Is almost
an assured fact, because of the dis
coveries which have been made by
Or. II. II. Gaylord, pathologist, and
Ut G.. II. A. Cloves, chemist of the
laboratory.
The success of these experiments.
extending over a considerable length
Of time. and many cases, leads TO the
hope and belief that some means is
near at hand whereby a similar Sc
rum as that used In experiments on
mice will befound which can be APP
piled TO human victims. The changes
which are brought about in the tu-
mors in the mice are similar to those
which have already been found in
man and the fact that cancer pa
tlents have occasionally been known
to recover spontaneously shows that
there is apparently no discrepancy
between the conditions found In man
and those observed In the mice,

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
PLANS MORE TRACKS
May Soon Have Four Through
Ones Out Of Chicago.
The Zig and Growing System Has
An Eye ON the Panama
Canal.
SOME RAILROAD PREDICTIONS

While no official announcement of
the fact has beerr made as yet, II is
a practical certainty that the two adj
dltional tracks which are being laid
by the Illinois Central from Chicsro
to Kankakee will probably be ex-
tended beyond the latter point in the
near future.
As already announced, the Illinois
Central will soon have four track
line from Chicago to Kankakee. The
road is now double-tracked from
Chicago to Memphis. and traffic con-
ditions are being watched closely for
the proper indications to warrant the
extension of the double-tracklng on
down to New Orleans. II is only a
matter of time. and in the opinion
of many VINO ought to be first-class
judges of conditions, very short
time, until the work of pushing the
double track south of Memphis will
be commenced.
AS soon as the press of business
dem ands the extension of the Kan
kakee stretch beyond that point this
will be done. Surveys are even now
being quietly made IL Is intimated,
with this ultimate object in view.
And in this con- oct!on those who
know best, mcltica quietly another
and more import & prediction.
1t is known that the Illinois Cen
trail has been watching closely the
influence of the Panama canal boom
upon southern traffic, and that the
chief officials of the road. in common
with others, are persuaded that the
eventual opening of that great inter
oceanic highway will multiply enor-
mously the volume of business car
ried from the upper Mississippi val
ley via New Orleans and Gulfport.
The prediction is that with the open
ing of the Isthmian canal, and the
resultant increase in railway bust
ness southwark, the Illinois Central
will have laid q through four-track
line extending fIom Lake Michigan,
in the north, to the gulf of Mexico,
in the south.
