Crausby, of 158 Kerr St., Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife paid no attention to a small lamp which appeared in her breast, but it soon denloped into a cancer of the worst type, and notwithstanding the treatment of the best physicians, it continued to apread and grow rapidly, eating two holes in her breast. The doctors as oo n pronounced ■her incurable. A celebrated New York specialist then treated her, but she continued to grow worse and when informed that both her aunt and grandmother had died from cancer he gave the case up as hopeless.

GAGE’S GOLD BONDS [SAID THAT PRESIDENT M’KINLEY IS OPPOSED TO THE SCHEME. Message May Hold Out Hope For International Bimetallism—Transfer of the Union Pacific Sinking Fund—Civil Service. Washington, Nov. 29.—Great interest has been aroused in that part of the president’s message relating to the money question. It has been made known that the president does not think best to recommend to congress legislation authorizing gold bonds. Intimation is also given of an intention to hold out hope of ultimate success for international bimetallism, and to advise continued efforts in that direction. Information of the president’s position did not become general until late Saturday. Telegrams have been received inquiring as to the reliability of the statements. i Positive confirmation is given. There . is no concealment of the president’s inclination. Friends of Secretary Gage say that he has tried to bring the president to his way of thinking, but has been unable to get him to recommend gold bonds. • A movement has been started among the believers in the single standard to urge the president, by personal visits and by telegrams, to abandon the effort : for international bimetallism, and to call on congress for gold bonds. This will inspire the double standard people, the Republican friends of • silver, to do all they can to encourage the president in his present intentions. To senators and representatives here the president has talked freely on the money question, and has asked as to the state of sentiment in various parts of the country on gold bonds and on international bimetallism. He is always open to public opinion, and it may be that the message as it finally goes to congress will differ somewhat from the present design in two respects. There is no doubt, however, that up to this time Secretary Gage’s advice for gold . bonds has been disregarded. U. P. SINKING FUND. Now a Part of the Treasury's Cash HlExcept Congress Appropriate. It. ! Washington, Nov, 27. — Assistant Secretary Vanderlip yesterday signed what is known as a pay warrant, directing the treasurer of the United States to deposit in the treasury the sum of . 118,194,618, representing the proceeds ! of the sale of the Union Pacific sinking 1 fund bonds and the uninvested cash in that fund which have been transferred 1 to the treasury as part payment of the , settlement of the reorganization cotn- , mittee of the Union Pacific road. This i operation is merely a book transaction [ in the treasury and while it does uot of itself result in formally taking up the amount as a treasury receipt, it is an ■ important step, which leads to placing the sum in the treasury cash, where it ' is beyond recall and cannot be withdrawn, except in consequence of an appropriation made by law. Postal Savings Banks. Washington, Nov. 29.—Postmaster General Gary is receiving much encouragement in his efforts to secure action by congress authorizing the establishment of postal savings banks. Every day in his mail there are many letters indorsing the proposition, lhe indorsements come from all sections of the country, and from all classes of citizens. Postal savings banks were first recommended by a postmaster general in 1872, Since which time they have been recommended by nearly every postmaster general. Civil Service. Washington, Nov. 27.— Representative Dolliver of lowa, who has just returned to Washington, makes the announcement that the policy of the Republicans in congress regarding the ■ civil service law will be determined m a party caucus to be held soon after conI gress convenes. Senator Pritchard of North Carolina, hairman of the senate committee on civil service, has arrived in Washington and is of the opinion tnat congress will take some action m regard to the present law because there is a demand for its modification.

A HISTORIC HOTEL The Favorite Hostelry In Ante-Bellum Days—Often Patronized by Abraham Lincoln—From its Veranda Stephen A. Douglas Delivered a Great Speech—Again the Scene of an Important Event. From the Tri-County Scribe, Plymouth, lIL

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the historic Cuyler House at Plymouth, 111.,a hostelry where Abraham Lincoln often slept, where “ Dick” Yates, Lyman Trumbell and Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the inner man in ante-bellum days, and from the veranda of which Stephen A. Douglas delivered one of his great speeches. This article has not so much to do, however, with this historic hotel, as it has with the landlord’s thirteen-year-old laughing, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie. As one sees her to-day, the picture of perfect health, it is hard to believe that nearly nine of the thirteen years of her life were spent on the bed of invalidism, that for months she never walked, and for years suffered the pain, misery and distress of inflammatory rheumatism in its worst form. Able physicians were employed but no permanent benefit resulted. Mrs. Thompson heard of a wonderful cure which had been effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and was influenced by it to purchase some of the pills for her daughter. Before she had taken half a box, there was marked improvement in her condition ; when she had taken two boxes she was completely restored to health. To-day, there is not a healthier child than Ollie Thompson. The case came to the attention of the editor of the Tri-County Scribe, and a reporter was detailed to learn the story of this remarkable cure from Mrs. Thompson’s own lips. She said: “Ollie was a hearty, well-developed child from the time she was horn until she was three years old. In 1887 she was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism. For nine j years she was never entirely free from the dis- ! ease, and much of tl>e time was in an alarm-1 ing condition. At times, she could not walk, ! and her spine was drawn out of shape so that |

i she could not stand straight. One of the doei tors said if she became well she would be a [ cripple for life. "Dr. Grigran, of Augusta, was the first doctor who had her case. He doctored her through two serious times of the disease, and finally told us he could not cure her. IVc doctored her most all lhe time, but wher. she was ten years old she had an unusually severe attack, and we called in Dr. Kreider, of Prairie City, where we were then living, lie tried hard to cure her but finally gave it up. He said, 1 1 can do nothing further, the ease is the worst I have witnessed.’ “We nearly gave up hope then, but called Dr. McDaniel w ho doctored her after w e came to Plymouth, but no benefit was derived. ‘'Then 1 heard how Uncle Wesley Walton had been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Knowing the condition he had been in, I thought if the pills cured him, they might help Ollie. Consequently I bought a box for her, and before she had finished it she was much better. She continued taking them, and when the second box had been used she was well, and lias never had rheumatism since. “ I cannot say too much for the Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for I believe Ollie would have been dead long ago,if she had not taken them.” Victoria Thompson.
