The cancer was removed the 1st of September by Dr. Uriah Branch, of St. I'aul, who is a cancer specialist. Dr. Branch did not use a knife, but put on a salve which drew out the cancer. The principal cure was effected by some internal remedy, which Dr. "Branch says kills the can cer germ, and which has proven true In Mr. Young's case, for he was cured in 10 days. No scar remains and the cure is permanent."

Every day brings new proof in sup port of the position maintained by Tue Aug is that the Northwestern has been more than au interested specta tor with reference to railroad develop ments in the tri-cities. For instance announcement is made of the resig nation of President II. B. Scbuler and Treasurer E. B. Schuler and General Manager F. P. Blair, of the Terminal and D. C.&E. companies. E.E. Hughes, of Belle Piuine, Iowa, for a number of years superintendent of the middle division of the Northwestern road, has been appointed superintendent of the D., C. & E., the line of the Chi cago & Northwestern system connect ing Clinton with the tri-cities. Hi salary is stated to be $4,00 a year. He has accepted the place. Mr. Blair has gone to New York. But he is coming back again. He is nut interested in the opeiation of railroad systems. It is his business to build them. "I have done what I said I would do." be remarked at parting. "I have built the bridge and the ter minal .-ysteni, and now you are to have the Clinton line in connection. That will bo the extent of my connec tion with the enterprise. I have an otherQ matter on hand in another place, a pretty big scheme, and I shall give my time to that." Where or what the scheme is Mr. Blair did not state. It will appear in time. Mr. Blair is a good man in his line, and it is not likely the Northwestern is going to let loose of him. There is talk of the opening of a road by the Northwestern into the coal beds of Mercer county and vicinity. While Mr. BUir has gone from ns in the sense of active participation in the management of the enterprises be has projected, te will always be re called as a cordial, unruffled, but per sistent gentleman, one who should have, indeed, left to his credit, as far as the general public is concerned, something more in the way of a mon umental design than the structure that dots the Terminal grounds over looking the river and the city's new levee.

LIGHTNING'S CURIOUS WORK Texans Seated TCear a Fireplace In jured In a Strange Manner. A fearful storm of wind, hail, thun der and lightning swept over a section of country 12 miles west of Beeville, Tex., the other night, doing considera ble damage to crops and property. In some places the bail lay In drifts elgbt and ten inches in depth. During the storm lightning struck the residence of W. T. Meadows, a farmer living In the La pare neighborhood, demolished the chimney, wrecked a big eight day clock and terribly shocked the occupants of the bouse. Five persons were in the house at the time, and two of them. Miss Jessie Caldwell, a young schoolteacher, and Walter Meadows, a son of the owner of the residence, who were seated near the fireplace, were so badly Injured that their recovery Is doubtful. Part of the hair was burned from Miss Caldwell's bead, and the steel stays were burst from her corset and curled up like spiral springs, says the bt. Louis Globe-Democrat. Her shoes were torn from her feet into 6b reds. and she was terribly marked and burn ed about the body. One of young Meadows' legs was paralyzed and bad ly burned, and his shoes were also torn from bis feet. Both complain of Intense pain In the lungs. Visitation Academy.

Solo'sts Secured and AU Preparations Made for Entertainment, Which Prom ises to Be One of the Masloal Treats of the Season History ot the Composer sod III. Masterpiece -Pupils Recital. The Haudtl Oratorio society will give its Chri-tmas concert in the First Methodist church Tuesday evening. Dec. 19. Handel's masterpiece, the oratorio of "The Messiah," will be rendered. The following soloists have b9en procured: Soprano. Miss Lillian French; alto, Mrs. Edla Lund; tenor, John Dahl; basso, Gustaf Holm- quist. The society has done laithtul work during the fa I term, and is. therefore, looking forward to an ex cellent rendering of the oratorio. Harden s Creation" will be rendered some time next spring by the society. The cultivation of oratorio music began naturally in the church, and the biblical origin of the great majority of the texts used in such works, and es pecially the regular performance of Handel's "Messiah" in the Christmas tide, have given rise to the idea that oratorios are religious functions. let the authorities say that the most successful choral concerts in the United States are those given by ora torio , societies. George Frederick Handel was by birth a German, but his long residence in EDgland and bis oratorios written for the last ten or fifteen vears of hi life, in the English language, made him to all intents an English composer, and lor a century he stood to the English school as a model of all that was good and great. Hi masterpiece, the "Messiah," was written in 1741, in the incredibly short period of 21 davs. The manuscript is in possession of her majesty. Queen Victoria. The work is arranged in a succession of recitations, arias and choruses, following each other In a highly dramatic and effective manner. Poetic Passages. Some of the passages have never been surpassed in tender and poetic expression. Anion; these are "Be hold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto His sorrow;" "Come unto Him," and "He was despised." Noth ing moresublime can be found than the 'Hallelujah." "Worthy is the Lamb." "Lift up your Heads;" nor is anything more diamatic than the splen did burst at the words. "Wonder ful Counsellor;" the soprano solo, "I Know that My Kedeenier Liveth." full of trus-ful piety and victori ous conviction; the matchless "He shall Feed His Flock like a Shep herd." and the imposingly grand solo, "Why Do the Nations so Furi ously Rage Together." Handel's life aoiontr the English people, extending beyond the uuul period of a man's life entitles them to claim him as - national genius They have erected to his memory a monument beside their grea'est men in Westminster Abbey, and their veneration of him is so great that whenever the "Messiah"" 'n tendered, the whole audience rises at the singing of the "Hallelujah" chorus.- A pupils' recital at Augustana con servat ry will bo given tonight at 8 o clock. Jsencies selections to be giv en by advanced pupils of the con-er-vatory, the chapel choir will lender several songs. C'onlintf at Sea Successful. Naval officers and men will doubtless be glad to kuow that as a result of three days" trial of "coaling ship" while towing at sea, just completed by the United States battleship Massachusetts and the collier II a reel 1 us. It may soon be possible for any warship to receive coal by the overhead wire system at the average rate of 110 tons an hour, says the New York Tribune. The ves sels named returned to port the other night and anchored oil Tompkinsvllle, N. Y., after having been away for a week, three dnj-s of which were spent testing the Miller conveyer under va ried conditions. At the close of the other day's trial, the third of the series, when 12G bags of coal, each weighing 410 pounds, had been transported in GO minutes without au accident. 88 of them being delivered in 44 minutes, the trial board announc ed that the test was ended and that it was satisfied with the result. Seeking; Emeralds la Ksypt. The expedition of Mr. Strceter of London, the Broad street diamond mer chant, which started recently for east ern Egypt to search for emeralds, has passed the last civilized post ou its oute and has begun Its long camel journey from Eufu to Zebara. News of the result of the enterprise is awaited with eager interest. Mr. Streeter has waited for 20 years to secure the grants of land necessary for the trial of bis venture and has at last succeeded by taking the Egyptian government Into partnership, says the New York Jour nal, lie is sanguine of success and hopes for returns wbicb will amply re pay bim for bis labors. The expedition, though small, is perfectly equipped for the work before it. The workmen will be engaged after the party of Mr. Streeter reaches Egypt, but the pro moter has taken with bim a smith, a carpenter, an engineer and an accom plished linguist. For Pneumonia.
