A Miracle in Missouri.

CRIPPLED AND BENT FOR TEN YEARS WITH RHEUMATISM.

The Case- Happened In Panama, Mo., and 1- he Wonder of the State. {From the Kansas City Times.)

For yours one of the best known men In Bates and Vernon counties has been Mark M. Woodson, now postmaster at Panama, and brother of ex-State Inspector of Mines, 0. 0. Woodson, of this city. The people ol Rich llill, where he formerly resided, and of his present home, remember well the bent form, misshapen almost from the semblance of man, which has painfully bowed its head hiili' to earth and labored snail-like across (he wnlks season after season, and when one •day last month it straightened to its full .height, threw away the heavy butt of cane whii/h lor years had been its only support

Irom total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly, unhesitatingly about the two cities, people looked and wondered. The story oi tne remarkable case has became the marvel of the two counties. Exactly as Mr. Woodson told it to a Times reporter, it ia here published: '"In '84 the rheumatism started In my right knee, and after a lingering illness it Bettled generally in my joints. 1 was finally able to arise, but for tne past five years coulcl only walk with the aid of crutcheB, and my body was bent half toward the ground. went to the best dispensary in Kansas City, where I was treated for eix weeks, and without the slightest good. I then tried a strong galvanic battery, with the same result. I then went to the City Hospital at St. Louis, where the best physicians treated me—(including Drs. Kale and Madd)—but without result, and I came home, weak, doubled with pain and despondent.

About this time my attention was called to the account of a remarkable cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People of locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and paralysis. I ordered some of the pills as an experiment. ^When I began to take them, the rheumatism had developed into a phase of paralvsis my leg from the thigh down was cold all the time and could not be kept warm. In a short time I was able to attend to my office duties, and I could enjoy a sound and restful night's sleep, something I had not known for ten years. To-day am practically, and

I firmly believe, permanently cured of my terrible and agonizing ailment. No magician of the Far East ever wrought the miracle with his wand that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me.

To verify the story beyond all question ci -doubt Mr. Woodson made affidavit to the above.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 3d day of March, 1894. JOHN D. MOORH, Notary Public.

A WARKIKG TO BICYCLERS.

Kmliumt Medical Authorities Claim Danger in Violent Exercise*

From "What to Avoid in Cycling1,1' by Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, M. D., in North American Review for August, we take the following word of warning to bicycle riders: There are further injuries done to the youth, male or female, through other organs of the body and especially through the heart. Dr. Kolb. as well as myself, has found that it is the heart which is principally exercised during cycling. So soon as brisk cycling has commenced the motions of the heart begin to increase. In this respect cycling differs from many other exercises. Rowing tells most on on the breathing organs: dumb bells and other exercises where the muscles are moved without progression of the body, tell most on the muscles: whilst in climbing and long pedestrian feats it is the nervous system that is most given to suffer. There is not a cycle rider of any age in whom the heart is not influenced so as to do more work, and although in skilled cyclists and trained cyclists a certain balance is set up which equalizes the motion, such riders are not exempt from danger. I have known the beats of the heart to rise from SO to 200 in the minute, in the first exercise of riding, an increase which, for the time, more than doubles the amount of work done—a very serious fact when we remember that the extreme natural motion of the heart allows it to perform a task equal to raising not less than 122 foot-tons in the course of 24 hours, that is to say, over 5 foot-tons an hour. In the young we may apply tlicsame argument to the heart as we have done to the skeleton the heart is undergoing its devt|Jopment, and it is an organ which cannot without danger be whipped on beyond its natural place. What occurs with it under such circumstances is that it grows larger than it ought to grow, that it works out of harmony with the rest of the body, and is then most easily agitated by influences and impressions acting upon it through the mind. I have many times seen this truth illustrated too plainly, aud I doubt whether in the young, after extreme exercise, such as that which arises from a prolonged race, the heart ever comes down to its natural beat for a period of less than three days devoted to repose.

A Glorious Time.

The class of young ladies of the First Presbyterian Sunday school went to Romney on the 1 o'clock train last Friday, where they were royally entertained by their teacher, Charles M. Raucli. Mr. llaucli, who lives four miles northeast of Romney, met them at the train with a large and attractive hay wagon, which furnished much amusement to those not used to such commodious vehicles. Arrived at his home the afternooon was spent in playing croquet, tennis and other games. A bountiful supper was served under the trees w'hich was enjoyed by the hungry travelers. After supper the time was spent in conversation and swinging in the numerous swings until 8 o'clock, when twenty young ladies and gentlemen from Roinney came and various.games were indulged in until a very late hour. Delicious refreshments were served on the lawn which was brilliantly lighted by Chinese lanterns. At half past 12 the young people once more stepped into the hay wagon to board the 1:25 train for Crawfordsville. The young people left thinking that they had never been more chariningrly entertained and that Romney had lovely young people. The crowd arrived at Crawfordsville at 2 o'clock in the morning, tired but happy and thinking that Mr. Rauch was one of the very best Sunday school teachers in the world. We need not say that Mr. Rauch will be welcomed back as teacher of the class when college opens. The young ladies of the class who went were Misses Belle McMullen, Daisy Ayers, Lena Fullenwider, Edith Long, Caroline and Mary Thomson, Ida Bappert, Lida Larkin, Mabel Speed and Eva Alley. Besides these several other young people went: Misses Ollie and Sallie Remley, June Dorsey, Edith Coons, Myrtle Griest and Messrs. S. T. Graham (their present teacher), Louis Strauss Frank Duckworth and Edwin Larkin. Mrs. E. B. Thomson chaperoned the party.

A. Shooting Scrape.

Ladoga enjoyed the luxury of a shooting scrape last Friday. The participants were citizens, Mullen and Simmons. The former is a heading factory hand and the latter concocts deadly drinks at Geo. Gardner's coffin factory saloon. It seems that Mr. Simmons had been rather too flirtatious with Mrs. Mullen and this led to an exchange of cold lead. Both gentlemen fired several times but. neither of them was able to hit the other. Such miserable marksmen should be banished from Ladoga society.

He Has Appealed.

John Vyse, the saloon keeper of Linden, who was refused license by the county commissioners, has appealed the case to the circuit court. The papers were filed in the Clerk's office last Friday.

LAWYERS HAVE A TILT.

Trouble Arose Over the Argument Of a Writ In the Fayerwenther Will Cage In Justice O'Brien's Court.

New York Tribune: The argument upon the return of the writ of prohibition granted recently by Justice O'Brien, of the Supreme Court, forbidding Surrogate Arnold from proceeding to pass upon the third accounting of the executors of the will of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather terminated yesterda}' afternoon before Justice O'Brien in an exciting manner, with a tilt between John E. Parsons and his opponent, William Blaikie. For a time it seemed as if there would be j' trouble between the two lawyers, but Mr. Parsons turned to his opponent and said, •'I never want you»to speak to me again, or in any manner recognize me."

The argument was full of interest from the start. The writ of prohibition was granted upon charges made that Surrogate Arnold would not do justice in the proceedings, and that it was his intention to pass upon the question of the validity of the releases given by Mrs. Lucy Fayerweather and her heirs when the compromise over the contest of the will of Mr. Fayerweather was settled, and also to determine iu respect to nthe charges of fraud that were made. Mr. Blaikie, who appeared for J. B. Reynolds, who is the husband of Mrs. Fayerweather's sister, was present to support the writ of prohibition, and contended that the Surrogate had no right to dispute any of the moneys which have passed through the executors' hands since the decision of Judge Truax holding the deed of gift to be invalid. He declared that this was an attempt to distribute among the lawyers about S35.000of the money belonging to the estate, in violation of the judgment which Judge Truax signed. He declared that the^e charges for services rendered since the last accounting were excessive, and he wanted an opportunity to investigate the accounts.

Mr. Parsons was indignant when he arose to reply, and declared that Surrogate Arnold had no intention of passing upon any of the questions that were at issue in the litigatiou. lie then characterized the affidavit upon which the writ of prohibition was granted as a "tissue of lies." He declared that there had never been submitted to a court of justice a statement in the shape of an affidavit which was so full of misstatements as this one. "It is a tissue of lies from the beginning to the end,-' he said.

Since the last accounting of the executors they have received upward of §900,000. and have disbursed upward of 8600,000. Mr. Parsons said. He argued thai, the Surrogate had exclusive jurisdiction to pass upon the accounts of the executors and that the Supreme Court had no right to interfere with him. He charged his opponent with circulating throughout the whole country reports which were lies, and as lies traveled faster than the truth, he said, the truth would never be known. He said if the executors had done wrong and their counsel had charged more than they were entitled to, the sooner the fact was made known the better.

General Wallace, who appeared for the executor, Thomas G. Ritch, supported Mr. Parsons in his argument, and said that there had never been any attempt to interfere with an investigation of the executors' accounts. Counsel finally agreed to enter into a stipulation that if Mr. Blaikie filed sworn objections to the last accounts of the executors they would not make any objection to full inquiry into the accounts. This was satisfactory to Mr. Blaikie as far as it went.

Changes of Time.

Otto Schlemmer reports that his trip to Germany was not without its sad features. It was his first visit in 30 years and he found the places of his boyhood were not as he left them. The faces lie remembered through the years were gone and«strangers passed him coldly on the streets, where once all were kind and known. The charming old customs and habits which obtained when he left and which he cherished as symbolic of the Fatherland had given place to new ideas and institutions incident to this age of change and revolution. Things were not there as they had been and, although he walked on the same soil, he was a stranger, the Germany he remembered existing now in memory alone.

Midland Preparing For Basineig. A special from Anderson says: "President Crawford, of the Chicago & Southeastern railway, better known as the Indiana Midland, to-day announced that the extension to Brazil from Waveland will be open for business on August 12. Dates have been named before, but the President says this is definite. He has just been over the road and returns to New York."

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Clemens. Mrs. Elizabeth Clemens, aged 70 years, died Saturday afternoon at her home six miles south of the city. The funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon by Rev. Slianklin.
