SNAKE BITE CURES CANCER.
New York Woman , Bitten by Rattle
snake , Is Restoied to Health.
Port Jarvis , N. Y. , Aug. 8. A re
markable cure of cancer has been ef
footed on Mrs. Wilhelmlna Lodwig , a
farmer's wife.
Mrs. Lodwig has suffered from a
cancer on the left leg just above the
knee for a long time.
While out picking huckleberries
two weeks ago she was bitten on the
ankle , by rattlesnakes. Her nephew
Karl Lodwig , came to her assistance
and killed three rattlesnakes.
The woman's leg had swelled to an
enormous size , but the swelling did
not go above the cancer.
The cancer , which had always had
the appearance of ink , fringed witl
red , turned into a running sore.
It remained in this condition fo
four days. On the fourth day the dls
charge stopped and proud flesh began
J\to make its appearance. The snak
'poison had worked all through th
cancer , the swelling disappeared , an
the heretofore ugly looking cancer be
gan to heal and turned to a health
flesh color. '
Last Thursday the wound began t
heal and yesterday Mrs. Lodwig wa
in town , almost cured.

to Bed With Corpse.
Junction City Ky. , Aug. 8. Maj.
James Morton , editor of the Hard i-
man Free Press , unwittingly went to
jed with a corpse in Junction City
ast night. Ho had missed his train
nnd going into the hotel asked for a
room. The clerk said the hcuse was
crowded , but osslt ed tha editor to a
room with another man. By mistake
the oleik sent him into the Wicnj
room and the editor qjletly disrobed
and got into bed.
Soon a ycung man and a woman
came in and took seats near an open
window. The major thought the pro
cediire strange , but said nothing. Lis
tening to what they said , he heard a
remark about sitting up with the dead.
Then ho remembered that his bedmate -
mate had not moved and reaching over
touched his hand.
With a yell the major jumped up
with a sheet over him and rushed out
of the room. Believing that the corpse
had come to life the two watchers
broke open another door and all met
in the office of the hotel for explana
tions.
SURE OF SUCCESS THIS TIME.
Peary Confident of Getting View of the
North Pole.
New York , Aug. 8. "Unless old
Mother Nature plays a now trump
card this time , " said Commander
Robert E. Peary in his quarters at the
Grand Union hotel today , "I will cer
tainly reach the polo this time , assum
ing I retain my strength and health.
My equipment will bo the same as on
the last trip , but I will profit by the
lessons of that last trip.
"Last timq we would have reached
the pole but for the easterly Ice drifts ,
This time wo shall go farther west bj
land , leaving it nt Capo Columbua , and
Instead of heading directly north we
will head northwest , thus getting the
benefit of the eastern drift of the ice
of which nothing was known until oui
last expedition.
"Another change Is that I will havt
a stronger advance party than on the
last trip , so that when wo got readj
for the final dash there will be sledges
and supplies enough. Last time then
was not enough to load five sledges. '

Statement.
New York , Aug. 8. Traffic manag
ers representing a largo niimbci of
important manulacturlng nnd jobbing
concerns controlling annually freight
shipments rggr gating millions of
tons , nftei scvcinl meetings hcie , is-
sii. d the following statement regard
ing their discussions :
"Matters pertaining to Inlertiito
commerce law and rulings of the com-
i mission , as affecting shippers , were
| discussed. The questions consider' 1
are of great importance to shippers
generally , and , after discussion the
meeting was adjourned to a fute 'e
da' 3 , subject to call. There was a
disposition evinced to bring about a
closer association of shipping interests
with the carriers and to determine
what suggestion might be offered to
bettor conditions and facilitate the
handling of traffic. "
The traffic managers object princ'- '
pally , it is understood , to the ruling
having to do with the routing of
freight , claiming that the latest
change does not cure the evil , inas
much as a railway company under the
authority which the ruling gives ,
wnild lossrve the right to route , thus
confiscating from the owner of the
pr < perty the right to gc t out of his
freight tint which benefits him.

ing for Purpose of Improvement.
Havana , Aug. 8. The negroes in th >
piovince of Pinar del Rio are art , mix
ing an Independent party , with the

may receive greater r cognition and
j public offices. The best of feelings do
'not ' at present exist between whites
and blacks , and the gcvcrnmant offi
cials fear that \ylth the negroes orga
nized they may perhaps become a
menace to peace.

forth whPt the negro has done for the
island and what a small meed of pa
tronage has been given them. Copies
of the memorial l o been sent to
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft and to the diplomatic corps.

who Is a etenograpber and took the
words In short-hand. After giving tlio

It be published as his last word to his
people and to the government at
Washington :
I always ohejad the rules of the
goveinment.
When the go\ornmeiit ashed us to
give tvr chlldien to the s'-l-ori i w'ns
the llrst one to send ir'ue. ' In ordoi
to keep our chili'nn ' on tbe roseiva-
lion I asked the government to ksep
the rclu o's ' on rur res rvatlon.
I alwaj. * looked to the good govern
ment , and ther. 'ore 1 asked for a
chinch.
I have no grudge against tlio people
of the United States. That Is ono ica-
sen I wart the goveinniMit to hear
fit m me.
By our disobedience the government
veil io lii've war with the i.ul'ms. '
But I nlv ys look tlio government'1
pint and lipo'd them. What I mean
by helping the goveinmuut Is : When
Gene.i'l Sherman had a fight with the
ClRjjiines Chcyonno sh t a rso

I wttb the fl.'st member , holding lh <
office as sergeant.
The ( ,3veri > ment asked mo to bo
, oed belli to tlio Indians and whl JH ,
which the govcrnmeit know that 1 had
well . .ilfiUed. In about 1S7U a-i Indian
killed a white man and the army oi
flcc.s > jiic | ted the Indians to turn
the Indian ovai to Iho artho , lllcs
Bat the Indians were afraid to ar. _ st
him , so I wept and arrested him and
took him to the authorities.
la the 'nme > ear C'av.y Horse , one
of cm chief \\ufiicir was ai rested in
our camp and I WPO ordered to taUa
him to the fort , which I did and that
s"me day he was killed by the soldiers.
Arcther tlrr- two white men who
were r-iirylng mril irom camp She-
dan to L'lnok Hll's got into a tr , , ible
wh'ch ' rcLi'lts in the killing of ope an-
othei. Chief Shotted Tail was notified
to rne the other \\hlto man arrcs3d
and I wasoidcicd to rrrcst him , which
I did and turn him ovjr to authoilties ,
whl'h afterwi.'s he was 1'tirtr for ] > 's
crime
Tl'rie is times when the govern
ment killed my relatives and take my
ho.se. . , rnd agpin the Indians killed
my relatives and take my hor. is. But
I gtcd for peace. I in'i'it ' ' express
that I was defeated on tn th sides.
General Hprney killed t.venty-two rel-
at'ves of ir-lnc and took my horses.
The govoinmsnt sent Red B ad , who
WPS my uncle to make peace with the
Indians. But the Indians found out
that Red Beat was on the govern-
menl's side , overpowered him , and
his party were badly slaughtered.
Theee Indians were composed of tribss
from Cheyennes , Ogalallas and Rose
bud Sioux.
I have been to Washington several
times as delegate , and on these occa
sions I have fully represented my
people on good government. I have
always looked for good government ,
therefore I asked the government to
hear from mo once more.
I shako hands with our agent , the
officials at Washington , also my friend
Right Rev. Wm. Hare , Bishop of South
Dakola.
Last evening as I lay in my tepee
I saw the sun go down and in a few
minutes after all was darkness. I
knew it would rise again and its gold
en rays would light the earth once
more and I thought that tonight my
life light would go out but I feel sure
that soon I would see light again in
the presence of the Great Spirit the
Father of us all. As quietly as the
twilight deepens into the darkness of
night , so quietly and certain will my
life light go out , for I'm old and my
time has come. Shake hands , Indians
and whiles , Good Voice hears the
Great Spirit say come. I'm going
I'm not afraid. Morning has come
good-bye , good-bye !
