cures cancer of a certain stage" de-
clared DR.. Robert Able, the distin-
guished physician of this city to the
International Dermatological con-
gress. He told his learned associates
specialists on diseases of the skin,
that he believes ''radium solves
many problems presented by cancer
Gus LESSONS of various kinds"
'I know it is said that caustic or
electricity will often have the same
effect as radium in cancers said
DR.. Able. But this is not true. Ra-
dunn is unique in it's action and in
many cases has produced results
which no other remedial agent could
achieve, in my hands at least"

A UNION IN nETHODISn
Three Branches OF Original WeAsysa
bodv l'nIie at London.

London, Sept. 1S.~-At the center
of Methodism, Wesley's Chapel. in
the city road. took place yesterday
afternoon a union OF the three bran
ches Of the original Wesleyan body.
the Methodist new connection, the
United Methodist free churches, and
the Bible Christian connection. en-
bracing nearly 100000 members,
with 1000 preachers. These three
branches separated during the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth centuries
over doctrinal questions They have
now come together again, anticipat-
ing the time when all the followers
of Wesley will form one great
church. The keynote of the address,
es at the ceremonies of the union
was the need OF modern Methodlsts
TO emulate the virtues and practice
of the small group of men who
founded Methodism at oxford in
1873, Under the powerful inspira-
tion of Wesley it was pointed that
those men kept all pacts scrupulous-
ly expended upon themselves only
sufficient money for bare subsis
tence, exercised the severest self-de-
nial, gave away all they could to
charity, visited the poor and sick in
their own homes and prisoners and
poor debtors in Jail, and paid for
the education of poor children, edu-
eating some of themselves.
British leaders of Methodism de-
clare that they will make the re-
union the starting point of closer
relation and aggressive religious
and moral work among the millions
of Methodists throughout the world.

WI~T TEXAS LAND FRAU Us.

Gives Results Of Investigation.

Austin. Texas. Sept tS.--Assist-
ant Attorney General Hawkins gave
out statement yesterday regarding
the investigation recently made by
him and Land Commission Terrell
as to the free school land claims In
Brewster and Presidio county.
He charges eollusion between for
mer ranch owners and lessees OF
school land. in that they have de-
frauded the state In securing tenn
porary possession of large tracts OF
valuable land. They found very little
actual settlement as required by law,
and in many cases ignorant negroes
and Mexicans are posing as the ac-
tual settlers for former lease holders.
said lease holders making annual
payments for them In order to hold
the land for pasture, and depriving
the real settlers from getting land.
Reports from out there are to the
effect that many lease holders and
so-called actual settlers have become
frightened and have surrendered
claims to prevent being prosecuted.
