There are
never any ex
ternal signs of
Cancer until
the blood is
polluted and the system thoroughly con
taminated by this deadly virulent poison.
Then a sore or ulcer appears on some
part of the body ; it tuav be small and
harmless looking at first, but as the can
cerous cells form and are deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases in
ize and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore is
removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh
destroying plasters, another comes and is
worse. The real disease is in the blood,
nd the treatment must begin there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
.ileal naturally and permanently.

KANSAS CITV, March 2. Ruth Nollard,
IS years old, was shot and killed on the
street this arternoon by Dud Taylor, 23
)ears old, a base ball player, formerly bcr
sweetheart, with whom she had quarreled.
The girl and her sister were walking
along Ninth street, near Broadway, in a
crowded business district of the city. Tay
lor, sitting In tho window of a second-
story room In a lodging house opposite
fired threa shots from a repeating rifle.
Two bullets struck her, one passing en
tirely through the chest and tho other en
terlng Just below the heart and lodging
near the fifth rib nt the back. She died In
less than an hour. Miss Nollard lay bleed
lng on tho sidewalk ten minutes, a great
crowd gathering meanwhile. The police
arrested Taylor In the lodging house room
and had difficulty In getting htm through
the mob, many members of which clamored
for the lynching of the murderer.
Not UN 1'lmt Attack.
Miss Nollard and Taylor had been en
gaged to be mnrrlcd, but disagreed a month
ago, and tho girl fotbade Taylor to como
to her home. About two weeks ago Tayiot
choked her almost Into insensibility and
threatened to kill her at tho first oppor
tunity. Ho was arrested on complaint of
Miss Nollard for assault with Intent to
kill and was released on bond two weeks
ago. Ills trial was to have taken place
next Wednesday. Taylor rented a room
in tho lodging bouse three days ago. The
landlord says he stayed in tho room during
tho daytlmo and it !b supposed that he bad

IRST SHOT AT SANTA MESA
llonlon Wo in nil Delintri the Itlclit of
t 11 1 toil MntPN til the
Outpont. -
BOSTON, Feb. 22. To the Editor of The
Dee: An extract from your estimable
paper entitled "Mark Twain's Error," has
come to my notice ln the Uoston Tran
script. I havo no Inclination to defend
Mark Twain. Our great American hu
morist Is able to take care of himself. I
do wish, however, to call the attention of
Tho Deo to the facts In this Philippine
matter which It has overlooked and which
the great mass of American people seem to
have overlooked or never to have known.
You quote from Mark Twain's article In the
North American Hcvlew for February: "A
Filipino soldier crossing the ground where
no one had a right to forbid him was shot
by our sentry."
"This assertion of the eminent humorist
Is probably accurate enough for tho pur-
poso It Is Intended to serve, but for the
truth of history It Is rather loote," you
add by way of comment. Is The Hoe
quite sure on this point? Let us examine
the truth of history:
The Nebraska regiment, at the time of
tho outbreak February , was stationed
where it had no right to be. It was en
camped beyond the limit orescrlbcd by tho
protocol with Spain. In fact, this encamp
mcnt at Santa Mesa was a mile ln advance
of the lines held by the rest of our troops
Uy tho terms of the protocol tho united
States was bound to occupy only "the nay,
harbor and city of Manila," pending the
ratification of a treaty between tho two
rowers, "which shall determine the con
trol, disposition and government of the
Philippines." Dy the terms of the proto
col all Jurisdiction and rights over any
other portion of the Philippines was ex
pressly waived until a treaty was actually
ratified.
A treaty was signed ln Paris December
10, 1S9S, but merely a proposed treaty
which required the assent of tho Spanish
Cortes and of the senate of the United
States before thero could bo any treaty at
all. The senate gave Its asssent rcb-
ruary C, the president signed It tcbruary
10. On April 16, 1S99, it was ratified.
During all this tlmo neither the president
nor General Otis had any powers other
than thoEo ln the protocol.
Sup poso a legislative act, reported by a
committed and passed by the house, was
awaiting the action of the senate, and the
governor should act upon It as If It was
a law? What would bo thought of him?
In a word, wo completely disregarded the
obligations of the protocol and tho rights
of tho Filipinos.
It you will examine the ofliulal docu
ments In this matter. Including tho corre
tpondence of General Merrltt with
Agulnaldo, and later that of General Otis
with hlra, you will find that both Ameri
can generals were forced to concede that
Pandacan was outsldo the Jurisdiction o
Manila and that Santa Slesa was under
tho Jurisdiction of Pandacan, not Manila
Yet on October 23, 1898, General Otis is
sued an ultimatum with a threat of war. If
the Filipino troops did not withdraw from
Pandacan. They did so with an outraged
senso of Justice, and to avoid a conflict.
Two days later General Otis, In a lctte
to Agulnaldo, admits that Pandacan was
outside Manila; that ho could find no Span
Ish authority for regarding tho town as
a suburb of tho city, and admitting that
General Merrltt did not so regard It
was In this very region which no Filipino
could regard as Justly belonging to the
United Stntes that an Irresponsible Filipino
officer, heedless of the challenge of a No
braska sentry, was shot on February 4 and
thus tho war began.
Tho encounter came on ground which
General Otis bad taken by force, not by
any legal right given him by tho protocol
It camo on ground that both Merrltt and
Otis had acknowledged In writing
to
Agulnaldo to be outside American Jurlsdlc
tlon. These aro facts to be remembered
In this controversy, facts which aro con
stantVy ignored or overlook!. Mark Twain
Is right when he says: "A Filipino sol
dlcr, crossing the ground whero no ono bad
a right to forbid him, was chot by ou
sentry."
True, the shot was fired by a sentry In
dlschargo of his duty, but the orders back
of him wore wrong.
Ono more quotation from your article
"For several days matters at the front ha
been squally." Tho sentence following It
explains tho occasion of the squallluess
"The Nebraska boys had been moved from
tho water front to a station at Santa
Mesc. which was practically an outpost
Decidedly It was an outpost, and ono be
yond tho Jurisdiction of the United States
The Filipinos resented this pushing of the
lines without authority.
"All Nebraskans aro proud of this regt
mont," you remark. Allow mo to reinforce
this remark. All Nebraskans ought to be
very proud Indeed of this regiment. No
regiment during that first year did ruch
unremitting service. No regiment encoun
tered such hardships without respite. Tho
writer was in that wretched country tcv
cral months beforo wnr began and sov
eral months afterward, and known of
truth that no regiment was put to harder
service or more constantly. It seemed us
If the palace had no mercy on tna No
braskans. No regiment was moro Badly
depleted, I think. Even Its able colone
was sacrificed. All glory and honor to the
Nebraska regiment! The star regiment of
that first year!
Ilut let no good Nebraskan closo his eyes
or his understanding to the Indisputabl
facts historical facts that transpired be
foro that first shot by a Nebraska sentry
Respectfully and sincerely.

HE'S NOT A WELCOME GUES
Crippled l'nuner Who In Ileljic Moved
Around from Tumi to
Timii,
W. Kennedy, a cripple who has been
unable to walk or even lie down for the
last forty-threo years, doesn't like Ne
braska hospitality and Is anxious to get
back to bis natlvo Iowa. Tho days be has
spent on this sldo of tho river have been
few nnd full of trouble, and he will never
come back If he can only got away. He
arrived In Omaha a week ago and stopped
at a lodging house, paying for ono day In
ndvnnce and then his funds ran out. Ho
stayed nearly a week longer, when the
hotel man decided to quit running an
eleemosynary institution and appealed to
the county commissioners for help. The
commissioners would take no action, as
Kennedy Is not a resident of the state, and
referred the hotel man to tho Associated
Charities, whose agent furnished a ticket
to Columbus. He went there Friday and
tho Columbus authorities promptly sent hlra
back. He was nt the Union station for
several hours yesterday afternoon and even
ing until tho police were notified, and then
ho was taken to tho city Jail. Kennedy
refused to tell much of himself or where
ho came from. "I belong In Iowa, all over,
anywhere, and 1 want to go back there.
When I do I'll mako those people danco to
my music. They'll have to come to my
terms and take care of me."
The police believe Kennedy was shipped
In from somosmall Iowa town, which is
n practice quite common for hundreds of
miles In every direction, and they Intend
to send him to Council Bluffs today and
alow Iowa to take caro of him.

The signing by the mayor and the publi
cation of the ordinance directing the Elk-
horn road to construct a viaduct across
Thirty-sixth street means a great Improve
ment ln the northern part of the city. Ma
terial for tho bridge, which will be 800 feet
in length. Is being ordered and It is ex
pected that work on the structure will com
mence ln about a week.
In this connection It is reported that the
Elkborn will establish a depot at or near
tho viaduct and that main line trains wilt
run through South Omaha. At the present
time the main line of the Elkhorn enters
Omaha from the Junction at Irvlngton,
There Is a branch line from Irvlngton to
South Omaha used almost exclusively for
the hauling of stock cars. Rumor has It that
the lino from Irvlngton to the Webster
street depot will be abandoned as a main
line and that all passenger trains will run
to South Omaha over the branch and then
la the Union Pacific tracks to the union
depot In Omaha.
With the construction of a depot at Thir
ty-sixth and C streets It Is Inferred that tho
Omaha motor line from Shecly will bo ex
tended to South Omaha, crossing tho tracks
over the proposed viaduct. An effort Is be
ing made by Interested parties to secure the
extension of the Park avenue line In order
that another transit line to Omaha may be
secured. Such a lino would be largely pat
ronlzcd by commission men nnd others doing
business at the stock yards.
ItepulillcnuN Issue Call.
The following call has been tssued by the
republican city central committee:
Notice Is hereby given that on the 16th
day of March, 1901, the republican party of
South Omaha will hold its primary elec
tlon between the hours of noon and 7 p.
m. at the following places:
First Ward Collins' music store, Twenty
fourth and K streets.
Second Ward 315 North Twenty-fourth
street.
Third Ward Evans' hall, Twenty-eighth
and R streets.
Fourth Ward Corner L and Sharp streets
These primaries will be for the purpose
of electing seven delegates from each of tho
said wards to represent tho party In con
vcntlon to be held at Woodman hall at 2 p.
m. on March 16, 1001. At this convention
thero will bo placed in nomination three
members of the Hoard of Education, to bo
elected for a term of three years: four
members of the city council, to be elected

years, and for the nomination of any other
officers, or modification of offices herein
named, as may bo required by any change ln
the law, to be elected at tho city election
on the first Tuesday in tho following April
and for the purpose of transacting any
other business properly coming before said
convention.
Will I'r.te Improvements.
On Wednesdaay of this week committees
from the East Side Improvement club, the
South Side Improvement club of Omaha and
the city council will wait upon the directors
of tho Omaha Street Railway company and
urge the extension of the Thirteenth street
car line.
Within the last few years a great many
new dwellings have been erected ln the
eastern portion of tho city and the people
naturally object to being compelled to
walk to Twenty-fourth street ln order to
securo transportation to Omaha. The
Thirteenth street line Is to be extended to
tho west entrance of Rlvervlcw park this
spring nnd an urgent request will bo made
that the lino be brought south on Thirteenth
to Missouri avenue nnd thence west to
Twenty-fourth street.
A proposition is also on foot to secure
means to construct a brldgo across the
Durllngton tracks at the foot of Missouri
avenue In order that there may be a pub
lie road to tho river.
Clly Treasurer's Slntcment.
In comparison with former years January
fax receipts show n remarkable Increase
The city treasurer s books for January hav
Just been balanced and an Incrcaso of $1"
000 in collections Is shown. A statement o
January taxes, commencing with 1S0C, fol
lows: 1S96, $34,593.38; 1897, 123.914.84; 1893,
J34.6S1.S2; 1899, J47.26S.04; 1900, T39.623.E8

Of the total amount collected In January
JS1.767.S0 was paid In for regular taxes and
J20.035.41 collected from other sources.
City Treasurer Koutsky is naturally well
pleased at the showing made, and 'said yes

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT

' AwiliiKt i:. U. Sliuuriil.
Tho committee of the bar appointed by
Judgo Koysor to Investlgato tho charge of
subornation of perjury against E. W. Sim
erul met ln court room No. 1 yesterday
afternoon and heard a statement of tho caso.
No ono nppoaicd to ho willing to make or
uttempt to .rove n charge, against Mr. Sim
eral and when the members of the com
mittee looked Inquiringly to County At
torney Shields that official said:
"I don't know that I am expected to pros
cuto this case, If there la a case here, It
'teems to me that this Is a hearing on a
charge made by Mr. Slmoral against him
self. It is, as near as we can understand it,
a charge of subornation of perjury. I can't
seo how any such charga can bo sustained
becauso then, has been no perjury In this
matter, and thcreforo thero can be no subor
nation of perjury. Voung Fcrrce, when ho
! signed the Justification to go on his father's
j bond did not commit perjury, becauso tho
false statement by hlra was not mado wll-
fully."
John D, Howe, who nppeared for Mr.
' Slmeral, stated tbnt bis client sought to be
j relieved from the stigma cast upon him by
the publication In two local newspapers of
a slory to the effect that ho had been
charged ln open court with Btibornatlon of
I perjury. He read the newspaper articles In
question and tho commltteo accepted them
as tho Indictment of Mr. Slmeral and the
basis for their inquiry.
Several witnesses were then examined,
I but no fact brought out by either sldo was
I dlaputed by tho other. It was not denied
that the Justification of John R. Fcrrce as
