■‘NOTHANKS.”
“We Do Not Gate To Make
Any Alliances.”
ANSWER OF SENATORS
" 1 V"
“We Do Not Need Any Aid,’’
Said Senator Cullom.
■ r
Washington, March 12. —Re
ports of a possible alliance with
England are received with no fa
vor in congressional circles.
“Such an alliance,” said Sen
ator Davis, “would be unwise,
and a departure from the policy
we have observed from the day of
W sshington.”
“If we can help England,”
Senator Chandler said, “in secur
ing open ports in China without
getting into a quarrel with our
traditional friends, France and
Dussia, we might do so. In trou
ble with Spain we would not
need her help.”
Senator Lodge said: “We can
not fight with her or for her bnt
there are many ways in which ou
moral support and influence could
be exercised in an effective man
ner. I doubt whether anything
will ever come of the proposition.
Senator Cullom: “vVhilo we
would be glad if England gave us
her sympathy, we do not need
her aid.”

Too •
Much Knife!
The use of the Burgeon’s knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes; “About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about the
size of a small pea.
It grew rapidly,and
n shooting pains ran
m bi every direction.
W . .jjr I became alarmed
> x ax, d consulted a
z T-. Bfczjgl good doctor, who
ZjJL pronounced it can-
llifflCßte’xcer, and said that it
nlllst be cut out.
PIfXX / This I would not
‘\W' J consent to, having
little faith in the
indiscriminate use of the knife. Read
ing of the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhile
ceased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark the place
where the destroyer had held full sway.
A Real Blood Remedy*
Cancer is in the blood and it is folly
toexpect an operation to cure it. 5.5.3.

remedy for every

The Opportunity of a Life-time
For Big Dividend— Paying
x Investment 1 /
THE ALASKA GOLD PLACER MACHINE MININGCOMPANY
Capital stock $5,000,000 —full paid—andnon-assessable.Promises to be
as good as the Beel Telephjne, Westinghouse Air Brake. Grapho
phone or Phonograph and other similar industrial enterprises which
ire paying thousands in profits to their shareholders.
This is an industrial rather than a Mining Company. We have
•he only Hydraulic Machine Mining System (patented)that will work
in the frozen ground of the Klondike and the Northwest, where we
take our machines and extract the gold from the claims of others,
just as thrashing in chines ere taken into the wheat country lo
hresh out the farmer's wheat. One of our machines does the w irk
of over 1,000 men each day and we save the 40% of gold that is usual
ly lost by other methods, so it can readily be seer, what enormous
profits we will earn in the fabulously rich, gold mines of the Klondike
and the Northwest, with which every one must be acquainted.
Every prospector th re is cur prospector, for he must eventually
come to us to Lave his claim worked. Therefore we believe we
shall in time be payin as large dividends as the world-fain en
terprises mentioned above. Ours is a similar ind istrial stock wli" h
