It Is very often that the most insig
nificant symptoms arc forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer , and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small pim
ple or sore , to which no attention is
attracted , until it before long : develops
into the most alarmingconditions. .
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Mims has resided at
Bmithville , Georgia , for years , andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says : " A small pimple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
check ; it soon changed to purple , and
began to grow rapidly , notwithstanding
ing- all efforts to check it , until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflamed , and was so
swollen , that for quite a while I could
not see. The doctors said I had Can-
MRS. LAURA T ? . MIMS.
in of tlie most malignant type , and
after exhausting their efforts without
doingnie any good , they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease , they said I must die , as hered
itary Cancer was incurable. I was
terribly reduced in health , and felt as
If my life was wastingaway. .
" At this crisis , I was advised by a
friend to try S. S. S. , and in a short
while the Cancer seemed mure in
flamed than before. I vrz : informed
that was favorable , however , as the
medicine acts by forcing- out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
"Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months ; then it began to heal.
I continued the medicine a while
longer , until the Cancer disap
peared entirely , and I enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of a return of the
disease. "
Cancer Is becoming alarmingly
prevalent , and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms , that any
tore or scab , it matters not how small ,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded rrith
suspicion.
The fact that S. S. S. ( guaranteed
purely vegetable ) cures hereditary Can
cer , which is considered incurable ,
places it without an equal as a
ure cure for all manner of real blood
diseases , such as Scrofula , Eczema ,
Contagious Blood Poison , or any other
V form of bad bloed. Our treatise on
Cancer and Blood Diseases will be
mailed free to any address by Swift

FARNAM , Neb. , June 5. ( Special. )
farmers have been expressing fears of
drouth , but critical Investigation reveals the
'act ' that the dry earth Is In no case more
than two inches in depth , and that tbe roots
of the small grain penetrate the moisture tea
a depth of four to six inches. It is only
tbe late planted corn that Is suffering at all
and the slight showers of the past two days
lave benefited that to such an extent that
jarring the cool weather It Is growing nicely.
Fears of a drouth are so far unfounded.

IMPERIAL. Neb. , June 5. ( Special. )
Chase county baa again been visited by
copious and timely rains. Lost night and the
night before .heavy showers fell over the
county , so thU the present condition of tbe
toll as to moisture Is most eatlsfactory. Tbe
small grain crops are In as fine a condition
as could be wUhed for , and far in advance
of any previous year at this time and there
seems no question in the minds of the farm
ers as to the certainty of a small grain crop.
There baa been some damage reported to the
corn crop by the cut worms , but nothing
serious. Tbe corn crop seems a little back
ward , owing to the fact that tbe weather of
the past ten daya has not been favorable to
corn. Tbe weather has been cool and cloudy ,
with numerous email rains. While It has
been tbe making of email grain and the
grceses. It hap retarded the growth , of corn.
All kinds of grass , both tame and wild , are
doing better than ever before known , fad If
not retarded In any manner will furnish hay
enough to feed all the cittle In routhwcst
Nebraska. Tbe Etockmen say thit cattle and
horses are doing better this year than they
have heretofore. Everybody In this county
now confidently expects to reap the largest
harvest ever taken from the ground.

Executive Committee of the Woman's ' Board
Endorses the Proposition.

Uullt tQ-Thcm.
The executive committee of the Women's
Board of Managers for tbe exposition held
a meeting yesterday with all members pres
ent.
ent.Tbo
Tbo most Important matter considered was
the suggestion for a children's building. The
plan suggested contemplates the erection of
a building to be devoted to the work of tbe
children , the building to be erected by the
children of the transmUsIssippl region. The
general idea of such a building , erected in
this manner , was approved by the committee
and the details of carrying on tbe work of
collecting the money required , as well as tbe
lzo and arrangement of tbe building , will be
more fully considered by the committee at
ome future meeting.
Tbe committee decided to ask the Nebraska
Exposition commission to devote $5,000 of the
elate appropriation for the purpose of assist
ing In making an educational exhibit.
The plan of organization for the -women's
department provides for an advisory coun
cil , to consist of two women from each state
outside of Nebraska , the members of the
council to be selected by the board. This
council has not yet been formed , but the
secretary was instructed to correspond with
people who are prominent in educational
circles in various statce and endeavor to
eecura persons of prominence to act as mem
bers of tbo council.
It was decided to recommend to the execu
tive committee of the exposition that tbe
secretary of the Women's Board , Mrs.
Frances M. Ford , be authorized to put In
full time. Mrs. Ford has been paid for but
half time heretofore , but the duties of her
position have increased to eucb an extent
that her entire time is occupied and tbe com
mittee was of tbe opinion that she should
be paid accordingly.
The arrangement of the premium list for
the cpecial prize competition to be held by
tbe board before the exposition opens In
order to get a. high grad of work for ex
hibiting in the exposition , was taken up by
tbe committee and occupied tbe time of the
members all afternoon. The list will be
made public as soon as It Is completed and
will be distributed with tbe circulars an
nouncing tbe competition.
