3I)c (Enterprise. OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1S77. The Railroad Strikers. The people of the East are having feerious trouble from railroad strikers, which has resulted in the loss of many livea andthe destruction of vast amounts of property, and the end is not yet. It seems that the railroad companies in the East reduced the wages of their employesto a very low rate on account of dull times, when a strike took place, which, at present writing, would indi cate that it will extend over the entire country east of Omaha. The military has been ordered out in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and other Btates, and the President has been ap pealed to for assistance, and yet the strikers seem to be masters of the situ ation. The property destroyed already amounts to Beveral millions and they are still applying the torch and pillag ing, and great suffering will bo the re sult. The rioters are thoroughly en raged and the result is hard to predict. The indications are that it will result more serious than was at first imagined, and extend through the large railroad districts to such an extent as to assume the character of a civil war. Unless it is speedily checked, it will gain such volume as to cause the loss UI IUUVU HVJCil(J UU uiauj uusv,isuv lives. We are not prepared to say that the employes are entirely to blame, but as a rule we believe strikes unjustifiable, and when they are carried to an extetit to cause death and the destruction of property, they are nothing but mobs ond murderers. "We are the friend of labor; we have always earned our bread by the sweat of our brow, but we never believed that a man had a right because Ins wages were reduced or because he wanted them increased, to destroy the property of his employer or prevent those from working who were willing to do so for what the employer could give. The employer and employed are entitled to equal protection, and there is no law which justifies murder and araon to compel a corporation or indi vidual to give bis employes more than lie sees fit or is able to pay. On the other hand we see no good reason why corporation or individual should so reduce th wages of employes to such a figure that it will be impossible for the Jaborer to earn an honest living for liimself and those dependent upon his labor. That there has been great in justice done these laborers there can bo no aouot, out mat tliey are uoing a greater wrong no one who has any re gard for law and order can question. These strikers, besides destroying mil lions oi aouars worth ol property, are bringing sorrow and desolation to the -hearts of thousands of their followers Two wrongs never make a right, and even if the railroads were now to accede to their demands, the evil they have done by their inconsiderate action will bo the result of greater suffering than if they had quietly submitted to the reduction. There can be but one final result in this matter. The government of the State must use its utmost power in putting down these mobs, and if they are not strong enough, the Gen eral Government must interfere. There can be no doubt of the termination , and it will be against the strikers. The Senatorial Committee. "The Senatorial Committee, having closed its labors, are visiting various parts of our State and Washington Ter o ritory. Last Saturday Senator Sauls bury went up the Columbia as far as tne uascaaes ana returned tne same evening. He has urgent business at home, and went thither overland on "Monday, accompanied by Mr. Stagg, the short-hand reporter, and Mr. Bur- "bank,Sergeant-at-arms. Senators Mor ton and McMillan, and Mr. Alexander, went to the Dalles on Monday, from whence Senator Morton returned, and Senator McMillan extended his visit as far as Walla Walla. They will proba bly take a trip up the valley as far as Rosebnrg before they leave, and on the 30th tbey will take the steamer for San Francisco. If the investigation has done no other good, it has given these gen tlemen, by an actual experience, an idea xf Oregon, and we have no doubt but . what it will show its fruits in future legislation in behalf of Oregon. The Indian War. The latest news indicates that our In dian war is about closed. Joseph and his followers have made tracks for the buffalo country, and will probably not make another stand until they get out of the reach of our troops. While we rejoice at the speedy termination of this outbreak, we should like to have seen the general in command follow up his Tictory and clean out the murderers, or bring them to the punishment they so richly deserve. Governor Cullom of Illinois has Adopted a very good rule on the sub ject of pardons, requiring three weeks' publication of a notice of application for Executive elemency in a newspaper as near as possible to the place where the trial took place, and, when obtain able, a statement regarding the case by the judge and prosecuting attorney acting therein. The Orcjonian goes after the State Printer with a sharp stick on account of the alleged illegal manner in which he has executed his work. Canadian Troubles. Our Canadian neighbors, says the Chicago Pot, are afflicted with hard times, and they see no immediate pros pect of relief. For a few years they sailed upon the sea of apparent pros perity, and were pleased with their po litical and commercial position. Now they find that their experiment has been expensive, and is daily growing worse. They have a debt of nearly one hundred and fifty millions of dollars for a popu lation of three millions and a half, or some forty dollars per head. This is becoming yearly a heavier burden, be cause their credit is weakening an J the rates of interest are therefore getting higher. Out of a total revenue of twenty-three millions nearly eight are now required to pay interest. All this has occurred during years of prosperity, when they had peace in all their bor ders, and when all parts of the country were united in a patriotic aesire to build up a vigorous young nation. Now that adversity has fallen upon them, the most prudent politicians and writers are inquiring what th future has in store for them. They no not see how matters are to grow in any direction except a bad one. They call attention to tho fact that since the war we have reduced our debt very greatly, and re duced our interest to the iowest point, showing a prompt recovery from the disasters of our civil commotion. With out any such national shock their con dition has been gradually growing worse. Some attribute it to their low tariff and some to their high, and others to the repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States. The real facts are that they have not the population or resources to stand the extensive superstructure of complicated govern ment and great public works they have been endeavoring to sustain and push forward. The undertakings they al ready have in hand will increase their national debt to two hundred millions, and make the burdens of the people greatly larger than at present. The real facts must then be evident to those who will be called upon to sustain the load, and they will become convinced that their troubles arise from natural causes, which their legislators cannot remedy. They are too small for what they have undertaken, and the sooner they throw open their great national highways and become the outlet for the Northwest. the sooner will they recover from tliair mi i 11 aiiemma. iney ean oniy accompnsn tins by casting their fortunes with the United States Causes of the Indian Troubles. The present Indian troubles in this Territory arcs) from many crooked transactions on the part of some of the agents, and to do justice to the Indians and protect the setHers the Government ought to institute a searching investi gation. Several tribes of the Territory tell of many transactions by which they are robbed of supplies sent them. Blan kets are cut in two; one half they get and the other half i3 Bold, the agents pocketing the money. They claim that they Cre constantly being robbed in like manner of all supplies sent them. The people of the West are familiar with these things, and it looks strange that the authorities at Washington don't in vestigate the matter. A commission of honest men could easily find sufficient evidence to send the majority of these agents to the penitentiary. When we look at the Indian question on ail sides, we wonder how it is that the savage and revengeful nature of most all the tribes is not aroused. Tbey are, we believe, about as considerate as white men would be under the circumstances, but as they have taken the warpath, the only course that can be pursued is to defeat them and regulate things after ward. Uaho City World. The present aspect of affairs shows the deficiency of our army as regards numbers, and the Demo crats would reduce it still more if it were possible. Indian outbreak in Idaho and only about 700 availab'e sol diers to protect the settlers: Mexican raiders cross our borders from Liower California and carry off prisoners, and the handful of soldiers who were placed there to protect our citizens taken away to fight the Indians; the rioters carry ing everything with a high band in 'he East, and a corporal's guard to crush the outbreak. Democratic retrench ment means destruction of millions of dollars worth of property and hundreds of innocent lives sacrificed bv mobs nn.l Indians. It is stated that the oldest ex-member of Congress liviner i3 Hon. Art Hale, who resides in Bridgewater.Mass. He is 91 years old, and is still interested in public affairs, being in possession of all his faculties mental and physical He was in Congress from Massachusetts from 1845 to 1S49. In 1864 he was also a residential elector. The Society of California Pioneers have agreed to tbe compromise saaJe by tbe Lick Trust Trustees with John H. Lick. The compromise,.it will be remembered, provides for the payment to Mr. Lick of 8380,000 in addition to tho 150,000 conveyed to him in the trust deed. Since President Hayes was inaugur ated one thousand clerks have been discharged from the departments at Washington, resulting in a saving to the Government of more than four thousand dollars a day. The London Standard, a Tory organ, says that Great Britain can put two ; army corps of 3S.000 mn each in Con j stautinople in six weeks from the day j the word is given. Telegraphic News. Eastern. New York, July 20. The Express, the organ of the Tammany ring, last evening accuses Randall of the -basest treachery to the party known in our history. The Express accuses him of being a Republican, while fraudulently obtaining Democratic votes in his dis trict, and hopes he won't be re-elected speaker. The reasons that the Express gives, are that Uandall practically de feated Tilden by his rulings in the House during the count and allowed Robeson to escape punishment by get ting certain patronage in the Philadel phia navy yards. The Express concludes thus: The Democracy in various States may be able to hold its own successfully in the future, but if it would have a re newed national existence once more, it will get rid of its Randalls at once and forever. Chicago, July 23. Nearly every dis patch received here to-night from what ever part of the country it may be, has contained something about the move ments of the military, showing Remark able activity in every city in the land, and that extraordinary effort is making to crush the conspirators against peace and law. Deadwood,). T., July 24. General Dawson, a prominent citizen of this place, received a letter to-night from the town of Spearfish, asking, for God'a sake to send them aid. and stating the Indians were raiding the vallev and burning ranches. All women and chil dren, and people from ranches, have taken refuge in Spearfish. The letter also contains a request that Senator Spencer of Alabama, who is now hsre, be urged to invoke aid from the gov ernment. Pacific Coast. Sax Francisco, July 23. A fire in the Lick House damaged it to the ex tent of about 15,000; insured. The Central Pacific has rescinded the order reducing wagts ten per cent. A mass meeting of workingmeu is be ing held at the new city hall. The cry of "Chinatown at 1 o'clock," is often heard, and the police are taking meas ures to prevent trouble. San Francisco, July 2-i. At this hour, 12:50 A. M., all is quiet, and the trouble appears over for the night. The crowd that two hours a?o blocked the southern end of Dupont street has dispersed, and the police are masters of the situation. All the streets lead ing to the Chinese quarter are strongly gnardeu, aim no one is allowed to pass along Dupont. Thus far no use of firearms has occurred, except in the case of the shots tired into th crowd at the nif ting last evening. The party who mci was arrested and locked up His action was prompted uj a pure love of mischief. Neither of tl.e men hit was seriously injured. During the contest of the police with the mob on Dupont street several stones were thrown at them, bitting one or two of the force, but doing no injury oi con sequence. While the disturbance was in progress at the south of Dupont, another mol, n timber in g nve or six hundred, gathered at the northern ex tremity of that thoroughfare, wrecked a few Chiuese houses, and attempted to penetrate in o the Chinese quarter, but were finally forced back by the police. and at latest advices has dispersed During these attempts to assail their quarters the Chinese manifested much alarm aud early in the evening every door and shutter was closed fast, and not a Chinaman was to be Keen on the street. About eleven a crowd collected in front of the Chinese Mission, on Washington street above Stockton, and stoned the windows, but were scattered by the police before effecting much damage. It now appears that tbe fire by which the building at the corner of Geary aud Lieavenworth was destroyed, originated by smashing a coal oil lamp in the Chi nese portion of the building by a stone thrown through the window. Although all is at present quiet, the police and military authorities are fully alive to th gravity of tbe occasion aud vigilance will not be for a moment relaxed. The prompt and courageous action of the police barely prevented a bloody riot for had the mob gained the heart of the Chinese quarter it would havo been ini possible to foretell the result. It is wel understood that not only at present, but at all times, there is deep and wids spread feeling nmcng both tho laboring and hoodlum class against the Chinese which only lacks a favorable opportnn ity to break out into pen hostility. It is believed, however, that with prndenca and vigilance the immediate danger is over, and that if qniet can be maintain ed during the remainder of the nigh there will be no further trouble. It is quite probable that in view of the pres ent and possible future disturbance ef forts will be made to effect some organ ized action among the better class of citizens looking to tbe maintenance of law and order. At the Wimbledon shooting match on the 19th, Ireland won tbe Elcbo shield It is reported that an active alliance between Italy and Russia will be made in case Austria should interfere in the present war. The Spanish authorities are preparing to send 25,000 men to Cuba, in October to fill the gap3 caused by disease and death. TrFLis, Julv 20. During tbe last 21 days the bombardment of Kars by the Russians has been continued. An av erage of 2,000 shells per day have been thrown into the town, but many of them have failed to explode. The Turks fired 18,000 shells during the same time. They have a sufficient supply of amunition for 125 days, including a stack of shells which may be exploded at the rate of o. O each day. Mukbtar Pasha is revicinalling the garrison and laying in additional stores oi amunition so that no force the litis sians could possibly bring against it could reduce Kars in any event in a shorter period than 12 months. jew York. Julv 22. Tbe Times' Lon don special says it is reported that an attempt was made to assassinate the zar on Thursday morning while he was on his way to inspect the outposts near one of the lately captured post tiocs. Whan the Czar was dismounting a shot was hacrd and immediately an officer of his staff was dangerous wounded. The Czar narrowly escaped tnro ign the shelter ox an embankment Tbe Times' special from Sbumla says whatever justification there may be as to reprisals there is no doubt that tbe Cossacks.Bulgarians and Russian troops are committing the most fearful atroci ties on helpless Mussulmans, non-com Datants and fugitives. . Men, women and children are alike subject to their cruelty. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, INDIAN WAR IN IDAHO! DRAWN INTO AN AMBUSH. Joseph again crosses the Clearwater and is Master ot the Field. He retires after Stealing lOO Ponies. A Lewiston Teller extra of Friday, July 20, has the following: The regular cavalry and Lewiston volunteers pursued and overhauled the Indians on Tuesday. Jim, Reuben, Levi and several other friendly Indians acted as scouts. Tbey came up with tbe In dians near the Weipe Camas ground amid very much undergrowth of pine. The Indians fired npon the scouts and killed Levi and one other, wounded Reuben, and another was shot through the lungs. McConville with his eight teen men were in the advance, and were in a position of much danger. The In dians were concealed in the timber on both sides of them. McConville soon saw the regular cavalry turned and flee ing. Tbe Indian scouts, through their tactics, drew the attention of the hos tiles.so as to let McConville and his men out of thb snap, and seeing that the whole force of the regulars had taken to flight.be found it necessary to follow them rather than suffer bis handful of men to be cut off. The whole pursuing brce returned to Kamia, leaving Jos eph's men master of the situation. All the command had recrossed to tt.e south side of Clearwater, and were to move to Lapwai, except 100 men under Throck morton, who, with artillery, are to bold position till Col. Green's force unites with him from Boise. Later 5 A. M. A dispatch has just arrived stating that Joseph's warriors had recrossed Clearwater and were at Lawyer's canyon. Gen. Howard is at Lapwai. ne has ordered troops just arrived on the steamer Almota to pro ceed forthwith io oaid point. He has also sent for Gen. Sully to meet him at Lapwai at 7 A. M. There is great de mand for wagons to take the infantry to tbe front. Helena. July 23. Advices from Mis soula to 1 A. M. of 21st, report 18 lodg es of bostiles in the valley, having come over the Lolo trail. Indians are com ing m fast. All the settlers are moving into stockades. The Indians appear to be trying to escape through the upper end of Bitter Root into the Big Horn country. There is no doubt they be long to Joseph 8 band. Ihe mail rider says it is reported that quite a number of the Indians are wounded. A com pany of soldiers left Fort Ellis for Mis soula yesterday. Others follow from other posts as speedily as possible. A dispatch from Lawyer's Canyon, dated July 21st, says: Thelndians made a dpscent on Kamiah vesterdav. stealing 400 poies from the Kamiahs, and left for Little Camas and the Buffalo countrv. It is evident that Joseph sent back his band for a fresh supply of horses and to revisit the old caches and chastise the Indians friendly to us. The troops will go into camp at Lawver s Canyon to satisfy the fright ened Kamiahs and se'tlers, until San ford's arrival. General Howard has re turned and reports not having seen Gen. Sherman. Another dispatch from the front dat ed Jnly 23d, via.Walla Walla, 24tb,says (ieneral Howard has abandoned ins intention of going himself to the Spo kane country, and will send General Wheaton intrad, with 700 troops. Wo leave to-morrow for Croesdale's farm, Camas Prairie, at the intersection nf the six trails, to establish Fort DeIoncTie depot and to defend farmers getting in their crops. General Sherman tele graphs from Bismarck that lie will spend August at Helena and Missoula, and will not get to Fort Lapwai till Rrpfemler. Gen. Howard has engaged fifty axemen and will start for Lolo trail with his full force. On tbe arrival of Sanford and Green, he will push the Indians witli all energy, having per mission to disregard military division boundaries. Reinforcements consists of four com panies, two of the 4th artillery, one of the 8th infantry, one of the 12th infan try, under command of Capt. Cusbing. Tuesday a dispatch was received from General Howard at the military head quarters in Portland to the effect that he is awaiting the arrival of the troops and Colonel Green's cavalry from Boiso. He will then assume command of the cav.alry in person and take tbe Lolo trr.il in pursuit of Joseph to the Bitter Root. He will also send a force of in fantry through the Spokane country and overawe by their numbers any In dians who may be inclined to engage in hostilities. Railroad Strike. The following is the latest from the railroad war: All the passenger and freight trains on the Erie railroad have been aban doned. Seventy rioters were arrested at Buff alo on the 22d and sent to Ithica, N. Y. Out of GO rioters arrested in Baltimore on the 21st, not one was a railroad man. The firemen and brakemen on the Lake Shore read, Cleveland, struck on the 22d. A picket line has been thrown around the Erie yard and buildings at Hornells ville, O. At Cumberland, Ohio, the strikers broke open all the freight cars and car ried off all the provisions. The operators in the telegraph office at Pittsburg, Pa., were stoned and driv en out by the rioters. Passenger traffic on tbe Pennsylvania road is entirely suspended, and the de pots are abandoned. The military of Wilkesbarre, Scran ton and Pittston are ordered to be ready to march at a moment's notice. Two hundred men, on the Panhandle road, have struck at St. Louis, and are stopping all the trains. - Thirty rioters attempted to break into a gun store in Baltimore, but were ar rested and marched off to jail. Up to the morning of tbe 21st there were ten persons killed in Baltimore, and upwards of twenty wounded. Tbe strikers and the military bava banded together in Columbus, Ohio, and appear to be friendly to each other. The loth regiment of the Ohio Na tional Guard has been ordered to report for duty immediately at Newark. In the fight at the depot in Pittsburg, Sheriff Fife was killed and Major Gen eral Pearson badly wounded. A train of soldiers arrived at Altoona, Pa., on the 22d, but were overpowered and made prisoners by :he strikers. It is estimated that over 350 persons have been killed already in tbe various places where the strike occurred. The freight depot and general offices of the Cincinnati and St. Louis Rail- road have been burned by a mob, and 3,000,000 worth of property destroyed. A mass meeting was held at St. Louis on the 22d, by railroad men, at which incendiary speeches were made, and sentiments in favor of a general strike were expressed. In New York City tho excitement is intense. Serious destruction of property is re ported in Columbus, O. Thirty-seven persons were killed in the riot at Reading, Pa. The strikes are becoming more gen eral throughout the different States.and it is hard to predict what will be the final result. The Navy Department has ordered that all the iron clads be got ready for service immediately. The managers of tbe Erie railway have resolved to hold out and make no concessions to the strikers. The seventh division of the Pennsyl vania militia, ordered to Pittsburg Sat urday, returned Monday, their attempt to break the backbone of the strike hav ing proven a failure. The rioters in Buffalo are over 2,000 strong.and are hourly gaining numbers. They have taken possession of the East Buffalo New lork Central depot and turned all tbe switches. Tbe Transit cempauy of Indianapolis have recinded their order for 'a reduc tion of 10 per cent, on wages and notifi ed employes to that effect, but so far the latter have taken no notice of it. At Columbus, Ohio, on the 23d, the strikers, to the number of 300, went to tbe rolling mill and compelled the em ployes to suspend work. They also went to the pipe works, set fire to Clay & Co. s works, Pattern's works, Adams planing mill, Franklin machine works, Peters' sash works and other factories, tbe employes of which joined with the strikers. The' War Department has ordered Gen. Pope, commanding the Depart ment 6f Missouri, to send all his avail able troops to St. Louis, and to go there himself if he deems it necessary, (jren. Rnger, commanding the Department of the South, has been ordered to send three companies of Infantry to Louis ville, Kentucky, and Jefi'ersonville, In diana. Six companies of the 22d Infan try, en route from the Sioux country to the Department of the Lakes, have been ordered to stop at Chicago. The N. Y. Press on the Situation. The journals generally are given up to news of strikers and rioters to the exclusion of everything else. Tbe Herald sayseditorially: We judge tbe number of actual strikers all over the country tc be not greater than eight, or at most, ten thousand. There are great crowds of idlers, tramps and thieves congregating at every center to repeat the Pittsburg riot, and thus the movement not only looks, but is for midable by reason of outsiders' influ ences, which will presently be beyond the control of respectable strikers. There are no signs that railroad man agers propose to settle the difficulty, while no doubt the strike was duly pi en ned and thoroughly organized. Within six months 32 roads represent ing nearly 50,000,000 of stock and over $75,000,000 of debt, have been sold. Receivers have been appointed for 1G roads, with stock and debt amounting to over 150,000,000. This unpleasant ness, but nevertheless healthful process of coming down to hard pan, must con tinue. The last year has seen a very serious general shrinkage in the value of railroad stock. Uuder those circum stances railroad managers virtually de sire to economize, but their workmen reply, "Improve and purify your man agement." If they hail made this ap peal without violence or lawlessness, we cannot help but feel that they would have public opinion on their side. As it is they have blundered, and have shown themselves incapable of manag ing their cause, and they will be lucky if they escape tbe general burst of in dignation. The Woi'ld discusses, similarly, in an editorial, in which it incidentally praises Hayes for his prompt action. The Tribune says Napoleon was right. It is always a blunder as well as a crime to exasperate a mob without ex terminating ;t. Thousands of men must go hungry for many days beca.ise of the last week's wild work. It is the business of tbe government to end such disorders, and it will be mercy to tbe strikers themselves and to all others concerned to end this business quickly whatever it cost. When peace and submission to law has been restored it will be time to ask the strikers what they havo gained. Railway companies were in trouble; some were bankrupt and others trembling on the verge of bankruptcy. Because they sought to reduce wages millions of property has been destroyed. Does anybody sup pose they will be able to pay higher wages because of this loss ? The Sun says this railroad war must not go on? There must be peace and tho reign of law. Railroad managers must be just and honest toward each other and then they can be honest anil just toward the public and toward their employes. Of the bitter fruits of dis honesty and cut-throat competition tbe country has had enough. Territorial News. Halibut are being smoked at Port Townsend by Lawrence Nessel. Workmen are wanted to do rough work in the Port Gamble saw mill. Olympia will expend about ten thou sand dollars this summer for building purposes. The Dispatch says tobacco grows lux uriantly on the sandy prairies of Wash ington Territory. Many of the sawmills on the Sound have shut down, and the loggers have gone to work in the harvest fields. G. W. Prescott, one of the owners of the Freeport mills, Washington Terri tory, died in San Francisco last week. Winnemucca had a serious fire on the 12th, resulting in the destruction of the Odd Fellows' Hall and several other buildings. The United States Hotel, and the lot upon which.it stands, at Seattle, was sold at sheriff's sale on the 17th for 7,000. It cost 19,000. The Idaho Avalanche says it is doubt ful whether much will be accomplished with Gatling guns and mountain how itzers in fighting the Indians. There will be 625 acres of hops pick ed in Washington Territory this year, 525 acres of which are growing in west ern Washington. A yield of 1,800 lbs. per acre i3 estimated by some of our most responsible hop growers. Upwards of 300 men are employed on the' extension of the Seattle and Walla Walla railroad. The iron for the track is expected to arrive in a few weeks. Seventy-five thousand pounds of gov ernment freight was unloaded at Win nemucca on the 7th. It consisted of ammunition, meat and other articles of army supplies. James Langdon, living on the Sama- mish, Washington Territory, set fire to some brush last week, and before he could put it out his bouse and all the contents were destroyed. A man nnied Illingswoi th.from Wis consin, has bought from T. Porter Jack 160 acres of brush land on Butte creek, Marion county, for 10 an acres. He will make a farm. ' J. I. Thomas of Eola lost five chil dren bv diphtheria last spring. A few days since bis only remaining child, a lad of 14, shot himself in the leg witn a pistol, inflicting an ugly wound. Thn TTrInn srnniv n rrr if" nl tn rfll socie ty will open their fair on the 24th of September. Much fine stock has been brought into tbe county recently and the fair will afford a fine exhibition. About two weeks ago Robert McCol lough, while working on bis farm in South Yamhill accidentally cut the lit tle finger on his left hand. It was a slight hurt and little was thought of it. After a week or so erysipelas set in and be died shortly. Daniel Baker, editor of the Clarion (Iowa) Leader, and a member of the Legislature of that State, is traveling through Oregon, and was at Albany the other day. lie says it is probable sev eral hundred Iowans of his section may come to our State this fall.

CAXCEK CAX HE CURED. Cancer has from time immemorial been a great scourge to the human race, and is now becoming the greater. For many years it ha been held by the medical profession, and gen erally believed by the people, that Cancer is incurable -, that once its roots take hold upon a victim, there Is no chance for A sufferer to escape a lingering and terrible death ; a death surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor rible, not only to the sufferer, but to his friends. Happily this fell destroyer need no. longer be feared. Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phil delphia.a well known physician, of large ex perience, has for four years devoted himself to the special study and treatment of Cancer, and the result of his experience is his dis covery f.-r t he radical cure of Cancer, without, the use of either knife, caustic or plasters, and without pain. The majority of persons are greatly deceived, in regard to the first symptoms and appear ance of this most dreaded disease, considering; it painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un timely grave. Iu most cases there Is little or no pain until the disease is far advanced. The only symptoms for many months, ana even for years, are occasicnally a stinging darting, stabbing, shootine, smarting, itch ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation, and some cases not any or these. If malady is growing worse instead better, it is conclusive evidence it is of a malignant character, and demands imme diate attention. If you have a branny warty appearance, with an occasional break ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or any other portion of the skin, attended witft any of the above symptoms, ot a sensation oi a fly being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer tain evidence it is Cancer, and there shouia l)c no delay in using Dr. Bond's treatment. Life is too valuable to be tampered wi' Dr. Bond's t rent ment consists of an An"" dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar rests the growt h of t he Cancer, and Ay cnem cal action neutralizes its malignity. renUej ing it harmless and changing it to a simp sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional remedies, soon heals (when the skin is broken, and t he Cancer is a hard tumor, in Antidote does not make an open sore, bu.?L raovs it bv absorption) In connection the Antidote is used the Specific, pn,fh ternallv. This tones up the general "eauu. strengthens the patient, puriaes the D' and eliminates the poison from the system Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither causuo nor poison, and can be applied to the m' delicate tissues of the body without nJu' and therefore is the only remedy that can w used in internal l ancer, such as canwrnl?. stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. BO"9 remedies, with full directions for suc0.8 treatment wil be sent to any part ol m world.
