Sprajiofi: Fruit Trees Practical Direction for Gardens on the Kurni Smat in "Wheat The Mar Beetle Suggestions on Mnny Farm TopicsAll .tronml the Farm- Hints to Housekeeper Norrie and Valauble Iteclpes. The statistical reports rf the department of agriculture for March gives very important estimates of the distribution of wheat and corn. It also gives the amounts of those grains remaining In farmers' hands, and the proportion of Sttierchantable corn, with average prices cf the latter. The report is based upon returns from a corps of correspondents in eah county of several states and 'Territories, and also from an independent corps-, equal in number, reporting to the statistician throxierh the state agents of th department. All grain in the hands of farmers, including the surplus of previous years, is embraced in the estimates given. The returns of the correspondents of the department throughout the great wheat surplus states indicate a new fact., r in the ciiimptioii of wheat, viz.. ths feeding of the same to hog and .thT storks, a f.o t due. as declared, to th" uip:v ed 'iit-dly low j rices, the claim being made lli.u this mj'de of disposing of the cereal is profitable ha i-nnipn red with marketing it for human fo'd. The returns also indicate that a considerable j -roportiori rf the wheat now in farmers" hands comes from crops prior to that of IS!", and especially from the crops of jsni-f2. S'ieh stocks have been held principally by large growers. Sni? damage to suoh stores is reported from Michigan and Washington. The indicated stock of wheat in farmers' hands is 114"-l'.or,ii bur-h'-ls, or jMr cent, of the volume of the crop of 93. This is nearly 21mm).o bushels than the estimate fr March 1. last year, und nearly u.i.ot'O.owO les than the average .f the past eight y. ars. The amount remaining in furnier' hands in the eleven principal when t -growing states is about TS.0i;t.tii)0 bushels, or f.3.S por cent, of the amount in producers" hands in the country at large. The averaee weight of the crop of I -or in.-uiun-d bushel, as calculated from correspondent s and millers and Ftate agents, is S7.H j"Uiids. making the estimated product a little- over CSl.ron,000 commercial bushels as against 3HS.00o.000 measured bushels, as heretofore reported. Michigan's 1S33 crop in placed at 13.Pl'l.Ooo bushels, of which 5.&7'i.2w bushels are estimated to be yet in the hands of thj growers. In North America the total production cf wheat in isr3 was 447.473.000 bushels, a decrease of nearly 127,000.0'to as compared was the preceding year, and of 237.000.000 as compared with 1S91. The large extension of the wheat ai-ea in Argentina brought up the production of South America from .'l.fiOO.000 in 192 to 82.kmi.ooo in 1S33. an increase of 61 per cent. Europe produced 2.0QO,ono bushels more In than in the preceding1 year. Asia's share of the world's wheat production was CPi.Ooo.ooo bushels as against 290.000,000 in 1S?2 and 34.".00O,o.iO in 191. Africa's crop was C3.."00,000. an increase cf 1,000,000 bushels over 1S92. Australia's outturn stood at 41.0O0.0o0 bushels, as compared with S6.000.0o0 in 1S'J2 and 33.0O0.0i)0 in 1S31. The total world's crop of wheat for is estimated at 2.3"0.471,000 bushels, which is less by 32.000.000 than the crop of 1S92 and about equal to the crop of 1891. Spraying Orchard Tree. ' A correspondent writes to ak for .some Fuggestions and information concerning the practice of spraying fruit trees and vines. In response we offer the following summary- cf the good results of this practice, as shown in a recent bulletin cf W. J. Gren, horticulturist of the Ohio experiment station: 1. Th profit to be derived from spraying orchards often exceeds ?20 per acre, and for vineyards much more. The fruit crop of the state would be enhanced in value several million dollars annually if the practice were generally followed. 2. Combined fungicides and insecticides ere recommended whenever applicable, because of a saving of time, a less liability of Injuring foliage, greater efficiency in some case?, and as a precautionary measure in others. 3. Dilute Bordeaux mixture. copier-ar-S-eiiic solution, and ammoniaeal solution of copper car!onate aie the most useful fungicides ff.r the treatment of the diseases herein mentioned, and the lirst has the widest rang? of usefulness cf all. 4. IJarly spraying is the key to success in the use of fungicides. 5. For the plum curcullo and shot-hole fungus use Hordeaux mixture and p?ris green combined, making three or four applications. It is not known that this treatment will prevent the black-knot, but cutting away and burning diseased branches will accomplish the result. 6. Sealby applet rot much earlier than those free from scab, and spraying with fungicides will save at least 60 per cent, of this loss. 7. Spraying with fungicides in the season of 1S92 prevented much of the early dropping of apples, which is usually attributed to wet weather. 3. For apples, two applications of Bordeaux mixture before blooming are advised, and two of the same mixture efter blooming, with paris green added. 9. The same treatment is recommended for the pear as for the apple, before blooming, but the copner-arsenlc solution is advised after blooming. 10. Ttie Bordeaux mixture. If used too late, causes a russet appearance on both pears and apples. 11. The quince may be treated the fame as apples, or with Bordeaux mixture alone. 12. The treatment advised for the cherry consists in making two or three applications of parls gre-sn two ounces to fifty gallon cf water. 13. Peach trees and American varieties of plums have very tender foliage and must be treated with very weak mixtures, if at all. 14. Raspberries may be treated with Bordeaux mixture alone. Grapes with the same until the fruit sets; after which ti9 copper carbonate. Totatoes should be sprayed at least five times with Bordeaux mixture and paris green. The Farmer' Garden. It is the opinion of a writer in the Rujal World that farmers will cultivate gardens more assiduously this year than ever before. Certain practical directions, therefore, given by this writer are worth noting, lie says: "A good -sized two acres near to the house should be laid off, thoroughly plowed, well manurM and put In the finest possible tilth. Then determine what vegetables you want tor spring, summer, autumn and winter use. Taka a piep cf blank paper, make a map showing where the roads through it are to be. thn where this, that and the other thing is to be planted. Gooseberry, curram and raspberry bushes may planted A GUARANTEED CURE. Best egg-producer on earth. Sold by all druggists.

"Deep cultivation, perfect tillage and thorough manuring with stable or barn yard manure are the main reiulsrtes to success. Take then one of the great red catalogues ' and select .what seed you want for the first year. If you are short of help select fewer varieties, but have them so as to supply a continuous variety from the earliest spring till frost comes, and even then have a store of srch as will keep through - the winter. The American farmer should be the bestfed man in the world, princes and kings not excepted; and he will be if he only lays himself out to produce for his own table fre?h fruits and vegetables, fresh milk, butter, eggs and poultry, and fresh meat when It may be conveniently had. The beautifully gotten up seed eatalogu published by our advertisers for gratuitous distribution should be in every farm house in the country aud be freely and fully consulted. They not only remind one of the varieties needed, but. as a rule, tell how they are to be cultivated so as to insure the best results. The making of the garden and the planting thereof may come just when all hands and horses are wanted for other work, but better employ extra help to make it -than not have a garden at all. It should h- so planted as to admit of horse cultivation."

The ln- neetle. Bulletin 22 of the Hatch experiment station of Massachusetts gives a valuable point for avoiding the ravages of the larvae of the May booti in the following: The plants set la.it spring for fruiting in ltfl were somewhat injured by this insect. The land on which they were planted was occupied by strawberries in 1ST2. and. after iho benies were gathered the plants were turned under and the land sown with barley. This crop, after maturing, was plowed under just before winter, and early in th spring the land was heavily manured and set with new plants for fruiting in 1S94. About the middle of July the "white grubs" began to work badly and many of the plots wer seriously injured. The eggs of this beetle are laid only on land where their lavrae can find an abundance of roots of rome herbaceous plant like the grass or strawberry to feed upon, and never where the land Is dear of much plant growth during the latter part of May or early June, as is the case with any hoed crop. If our plants had ben set on land that was free from fibrous roots the previous June they would have escaped. The larvae require two years to complete their growth, and infested land should never be set with strawterry plants until it has been cultivated with some other crop for one year or better for two years. Insufficient Plant Food. Estimates of the amount of plant food removed from the soil by an average cip have been made known many times and farmers endeavor to avoid this loss by supplying fertilizers which contain the elements removed, but such a course does not increase fertility of the soil or 'induce the growth of a larger crop, as only that which is removed is returned. To increase the yield there must be an addition to the supply of fertilizer, and the increased growth will demand an abundance of plant food ready for use. If the ctop is advanced larg.-Iy and luxuriantly to that stage at which its mission ends (the production of seed), all the efforts of the plants will be concentrated 'to effect their object, which is the most critical period with the farmer, as his crop may depend upn the result, and should the plant food not be abundant, there may be a loss which should not occur. Farmers who stimulate their crops by using fertilizers induce greater growth and an increased demand for plant food, which must be supplied, or a loss will result in the cost of the fertilizer; but if the soil and the crops are abundantly supplied with plant food every doliar expended for fertilizer will be regained from the crop if other conditions are favorable. Muut In Wheat. The department of agriculture recommends the following remedy for stinking smut in wheat: "Immerse the seed for a few minutes in scalding water, not much above 132 degrees and not in any cose alove 135 degrees; place the grain supiosed to be affected in sacks in quantities of half a bushel at a time; immerse it first in watr having a temperature of 110 degrees, and when warm plunge it in another vessel where the heat shows the temperature required. The volume of scalding water should b? six to eight times as great as the seed treated, and the thermometer should be consulted all the time the wheat is in the scalding water. The grain, öfter remaining fifteen minutes undr treatment, is taken out and dried. It is best to treat the seed just before plainting. Before placing in the sacks again these should be thoroughly boiled for fifteen minutes. This is done to prevent any spores of smut which have escaped from the dry wheat remaining to infect the seed after it has been cleaned. Ilrononi) of Lnrce Supply. A large supply of fertilizer to an aero of ground will not only give a much greater return, but also pay for the fertilizer itself. In a fruit-growing section of Xew Jersey one grower annually applies a ton of fertilizer to an acre, the cost leing sometimes as much as $50. but he was the only one in that section la.st year who mad? a good profit, as his crops grew rapidly from the start, and were within reach of a continual supply of plant-food, the yield being sufficient to repay the outlay for fertilizer and give a profit as well, at the same time leaving his soil In better condition than before. In such a case he would have been extravagant had he attempted to economize in the cost, as he would have failed in his crops, as was the case with some of his neighbors. It is on record that over l.OOO bushels of potato-s per acre have been grown on an experimental plot, but the crop was due to the very liberal use of fertilizers and excellent cultivation given. Hints to Housekeeper. Never enter a sick room in a state of perspiration, as the moment you become cool your pores absorb. Do not aproach contagious disease with an emoty stomach, nor sit between the sick and the fire, because the heat attracts the vapor. Preventives are preferable to pill or powder. A handsome cover for a piano may be made by using a square of plain satin, with border twelve or fifteen inches wide, of gold rr silver wrought satin. A center of pale gray, or a plain yellow center, with gold-wrought border, is very effective. A good many women who habitually wear violet have an exquisitely natural artificial bunch, through which they scatter a few of the fragrant real blossoms. The effect Is the same as if all were natural, and the expense comparatively small. A most useful article with which to scale fish is the ordinary currycomb. Grasp the fish by the mouth with a protected finger, and the operation, pursued from tail to b;ad, will be found very practical. There Is room for an invention In this suggestion. A new style of teapot is constructed higher in front than the back, and the lid Is set on the reverse way than hitherto. In the Interior is a grating, with very small holes, extending the length of the pot from top to bottom. The result of this is that the tea In pouring will not overflow, neither- will the leaves work through iuto the spout. To erase ink stains mix thoroughly equal parts of alum, amber, sulphur and saltpeter, and keep the mixture Jn a well-closed bottl. By sprinkling some of the powder upon an ink stain or recently written characters, and rubbing with a white linen rag, tr.e stain or writ

ing will at once disappear. If amber cannot be obtained, resin will do, but not so well. To remove creases in drawings . or engravings fasten the engraving or drawing by pins n a board .face downward on a sheet of paper. On the back place another sheet of paper which retains a very slight quantity of moisture. Over this place flannel or blotting paper, and. taking a hot iron pass it carefully over the part where the creases have been made until they disappear, and then submit the drawing or engraving to pressure between glazed boards. The advantage of a gas smoothing iron as used in many laundries, particularly abroad, is that the heat Is well distributed, and can bt? regulated. In one form there are thirty gas Jets, small, of course, and placed on the Inside face of the iron. The iron Is connected with the gas fixture by an India rubber tube. In some forms the Iron has a sort of bl-nv-pipe apparatus for mixing the gas with the air, which was somewhat of a drawback, but recent patents have obviated this difficulty. Among the fresher novelties for the housekeeper is the reversible rubber rug or carpet. This fabric, says the American Carpet and Upholstery Trade, consists of a thin sheet of perforated rubber cloth, similar to that used in the manufacture of boot?. The yarn is forced through the little holes. It is then automatically spread on both sides of the rubber sheeting, and the rug is manufactured. The strong features of the product are its duability and its reversibility; also its low cost of manufacture. In appearance it looks exactly like a mosquette or other pile fabric, and only an examination would reveal the difference In structure. Jute as a filling being entirely done away with, the only cxiense is for yarn and rubber.

All Around the Farm. One of the best ways of increasing the appetite of a horse Is to change his diet. In addition to its value as a stk feed, the roots of clover make one of the very best fertilizers for ether crops. The constant squealer fattens slowly, because contentment Is necessary to the taking on of flesh. The squealer Is never Contented. The merino sheep is naturally a longlived, slow-maturing animal, and one that, if properly cared for, pays well in the amount of wool clipped. Dairy farmers who have wheat or winter oats sown on dry land will often find the crop much benefited at this lime by thorough harrowing, followed by a liberal top-dressing of commercial manure. Now Is also the best time for top-dressing grass lands. Grass, grain and farm crops in general succeed best wheh liberally fed while young. As liberal feeding pays with the cows, so it rays with the crops. In bulletin No. 28 of the Ore experiment station experiments In p,. "eedIng are given by II. T. French. ' tese experiments relate to feeding for p -rk with wheat, and to th? comparative value of wet and dry feed in fattening pigs. The advantage was slightly with the wet food, and wheat was shown to give results In fattening which compared favorably with those obtained from corn. The wheat was chopped. It has been proved by experiments that London purple. Paris green and white arsenic, when applied upon foliage along with Bordeaux mixture, do less Injury than when applied in water alone; that London purple and Paris green are not more injurious to foliage when applied In resin mixture; that foliage will suffer greater Injury when arsenltes are used in sulphate of copper solution, strong soapy mixture, and eau celeste, or iron chloride solution. A writer In a turf journal gives the following rule to estimate the hight a colt will grow to: Take a colt at any time between six weeks and one year, stand him on a level surface so that he will stand naturally, then measure the distance from the hair of his hoof to his knee joint, and for every inch or fraction thereof he measures he will be hands high when matured. If he measures fifteen Inches he will grow to b fifteen hands high; if fifteen and a half Inches, he will grow to be fifteen and a half hands high, and so on. Two years ago we tried an experiment in feeding newly set tomato plants with a very small dresing of nitrate of soda, which was thoroughly mixed with the Soil around -them. The ground was moderately fertile before the application. Not only was the growth of the plants greatly stimulated, but their productiveness also. The frui't was unusually large and fair, and it ripened several days tefor2 that on vines to which we did not apply the nitrate. As a special manure for the tomato crop, nitrate of soda cannot be excelled. American Cultivator. It is a good plan to sprinkle the manure pile with salt. "When used in small quantities salt promotes fermentation, and at the same time its capacity for attracting moisture is excellent to prevent fire fanging. In other words, the salt promotes slow rather than violent fermentation, and makes the fertilizer soluble without wasting it. A little addition of salt to phosphate manures makes them much more effective. But the salt should be added only just before the fertilizer Is to be drilled In or it will be made a wet. spongy mass that cannot be evenly distributed. Some "eir Recipes. Salmon a la Marecha'e Truss a whole salmon in the shape of an S. by drawing a trussing needle, threaded with some fine twine, through the eyeholes of the fish, fastening the Jowl by tying the string tinder the jaw. then passing the needle through the center of the body of the salmon, drawing It tight, and fastening it round the extremity of the tail. Now put it Into a fish kettle in salted water, and boil it till cooked; then skin it and coat it thickly with Allemande sauce, and leave It till cold. Now dredge it with bread crumbs, pressing these lightly on to the fish; then brush it all over with beaten egg; dust It with pepper, salt and a little nutmeg, and, lastly, with more bread crumbs. Then place it in a well-buttered baking dish, pour a little white wine carefully round it, and about three-quarters of an hour before it I wanted put the tin in the oven and let it bake till of a pale golden color and servu garnished with fried smelts and fish quenelles. Hand suedoise sauce round with it. This is made by mixing two tablespoonfuls of finely-grated horseradish and two of thick cream with half a pint of good mayonnaise, and setting it on ice till wanted. Hot Salmon Pie Cut a couple of slices of salmon into small, neat pieces and lay these in a marinade of oil, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and chopped shallot for two hours or so. With the trimmings and any remains of cold fish (or. failing these, the flesh of two whitings) make a farce by pounding it till smooth, and mixing with it some white sauce or cream, pepper, salt, grated nutmeg and a few drops of carmine; line a plain round tin with puff or brioche paste and spread this all over with the farce. Hit the fish from the marinade, and arrang? It in the mold, filling in the interstices with cut-up herring or bloater roe, cutup mushrooms, or some truffles; cover It all with another layer of farce, and then with paste, and bake for one and a half hours. Before serving lift the top crust and pour In a little sauce aux flnesherbes (made by tossing together a little butter, some mushrooms, minced parsley and shallots, with pepper, salt and a grate of nutmeg, then adding about two tablespoonfuls of Espagnole of veloute. according to the color you want the sauce to be; let it boll up, then add a little lemon juice and use). Cod, or, indeed, most fish, can be used in this way. Eisenkuchen Eisenkuchn can be made In three or. four different ways. This Is the name given to the cake in north Germany: In th southern parts It Is generally called hippen. Clarify onehalf pound butter and let it become cold; rub or beat rt to a cream. Have ready seven eggs and one pound of finely sifted suar, and add them to Mie butler, stirring briskly all th time, and putting In first an egjr, then some pugar. and s on till both ingredients are dls-

It has given satisfaction tc millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it rets on the Kidneys, Liver and Dowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Fijs is for sale by all druggists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Fig?, and being well informed, you will not "ccept an7 eubstitute if oflered. posed of. Keep tip the stirring (always in the same direction) for some moments, then put in one-quarter ounce of powdered cinnamon and the finely grated rind of a lemon; lastly, work in one pound of flour, previously well sifted and dried. This being a kind of waffle, it must be baked in the ordinary closing irons sold for the purpose. Heat it thoroughly over a charcoal fire, place in the center of the iron a tahlespoonful of the mixture, shut down the iron slowly, hold it ovt-r the glowing charcoal for a few minutes, turn it over and brown it the sam? on both sides; after which roll the kuchen on a round piece of wood as it is removed from the iron. Ease the cake gently off the roller and serve or store in well-closed tins. It Is a good thing to prepare the paste for all these sort of cakes on the day before. In this case the Iron need not be buttered. The above quantities will make about sixty cakes. Or, dissolve one-half pound of crushed coarse sugar candy in a little less than one pint of boiling water; let it cool, and add nearly one-half pound of clarified butter, one pound of fine flour, cinnamon and grated lemon rind as above, and one egg. Stir it long and thoroughly as before, and, If possible, let it stand till the next day. Have ready a moderate chareoal fire and butter the iron, put in the same quantity of paste and proceed In the same way. These cakes must be kept In a warm, dry room, and the tins must, above all, be well tied down or the contents will become flabby at once. This method really only varies In the quantities one p-iund of flour, of sugar and of butter respectively, eight eggs, cinnamon and lemon rind as alwive. Prepare the butter as already shown, and add in turn eggs and sugar; flavoring alternately with small quantities of flour. Bake In the same way. In the south the ingredients are somewhat different one-half pound flour, one-quarter pound powdered sugar, the finely chopped rind of half a lemon, one-quarter ounce of powdered cinnamon, a small pinch of crushed cloves, one and one-half ounces of melted butter, two tablespoonfuls f rose water, one egg and some red or white wine. Stir all t'.iese things to a soft paste and bake as in the second recipe. BLOWN TO ATOMS. An Engineer Killed In the Kxploxion of n Pomp float. CHARLESTON. W.

ALL AFIRE: A MAN JUMPS OUT OF A SECOND STORY WINDOW, George Barknt Meets a Terrible Fate at Columbus - Other State NewsAnotber Large Factory Secured by Muncle Brilliant Weddlng at Noblesville - Hotels Destroyed by Fire. COLUMBUS. March 30. Special. This morning George Farkus, aged nineteen years, who drives a delivery wagon for the Standard oil company, was standing near a hot stove, when his clothing that was saturated with oil and gasoline, took fire and the flames leaped up around his head. He jumped out of a second story window screaming for help. His clothing was cut off his body as soon as possible, but there is but little hope of recovery as it is thought he inhaled the flames. The building was set on fire but was not much damaged. Later The young man died at- midnight. SH'XCIB I LICK AG A I. Another Large and Important'lndn. try Secured to the Magic City. MUNCIE, March 30. Special Through the efforts of the- Citizens' enterprise ccmpany Muncie has secured a very important new industry. It is the Tatton manufacturing company factories located at Columbus. O., and Jeffersonville, Ind. The company has for twenty years past operated large manufacturing establishments In the inclosure of the Ohio state prison, also a large plant In the Indiana state prison scuth at Jeffersonville. The capacity of each of the plants is about 275 hands. The plant from Ohio will first be moved here and Mr. A. G. Patton today toll your correspondent that he would have the plant in full operation in Muncie by May. The object is to combine both plants into one in this elly, employing over 600 hands, but the Jeffersonville plant cannot be removed until after a three-year contract with the state expires. The buildings will cover about ten acres of ground just east of the city in the suburb of Boyceton. The ccmpany manufactures hollowware used in stoves and cuspidors, etc. About one-h3lf of the force is molders, who will make from J2.H0 to $3.50 per day. Only about fifteen families will accompany the plant from Columbus here. The Investment here will be about $t)0.000 The firm has a well-established trade from Maine to California both North and South. Mr. Patton stated that the main cause for his removal from the prison was the strong feeling that is fast growing against convict labor and the 'threat to stamp all goods made in prisons "Prison-Made." He says: "To us it will be about as much satisfaction to get outside the big stone walls as it would a long-term prisoner." The main building will be 400 by 80 feet, part two stories. This will be the machine shop and enameling department. The foundry will be 4H) by 120 feet with a wing 100 by ir.0 feet. The packing and shipping department will occupy a two-story building 400 by 60 feet. All these buildings will be of brick and stone. Beside these there will be several iron, coke and sand sheds, and the engine and boiler house. When both plants are in operation here about 700 hands will be employed. One-half of these will be molders and all will be new men, as the prisoners cannot hold their places. Work on the building will begin next week just across the river east of the city between the L. E. & W. and Big Four railroad tracks. The Magic City is happy at her success in securing the enterprise. A BRILLIANT WEDDING. The Marriage of Dr. Samuel Hnrrell and Miss Vivian Voss. NOBLESVILLE. March 28. Special. Dr. Samuel Harrell, a rising young physician of this city, a graduate of the Michigan university of medicine and the son of an ex-commissioner of Shelby county, was married to Miss Vivian V. Voss, a cultured and refined society belle of this city, at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The ceremony was performed in the Presbyterian church by the Rev. J. M. Davies and was witnesses by 200 guests. The bride was gowned in white brocaded satin, high corsage and trimmed In pearl passementrie and lace, with veil which was fastened by orange blossoms direct from Florida. She carried a white prayer book in which the marriage service was marked by three white roses. The groom was costumed in a full dress suit. Miss Ada Illyes of this city acted as bridesmaid, while Charles Harrell of Fairland. Ind., was best man. After the ceremony the happy couple repaired to the home of the bride's mother, where a luncheon was served. The doctor and his bride departed this evening for Shelby county to visit relatives. The guests from out" of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Jay G. Voss, Mrs. Theresa Smith, daughter and son; Miss Nellie Byrkit, Miss Laura Bingham. Mr. and Mrs. George Gelger, Fred Evans and Dr. O. S.

RUH DOWN B1TA10ADLD HANDCAR D. T. ALLYN'S SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE B. & IX. R. R.

Ilia Escape. Sickness and RrroTrrrPlock. Paralysis A Railroad's la gratitude. (From the Wallace Neb.) Herald.) Last summer Mr. D. T. Allyn of this place worked for the B. & M. railroad a & section hand on the section extending east from Tecumseh. the county seat of Jchnson county. Nebraska. On the 2d day of July he met with an accident that nearly cost him his life. He and five other men were working a hand-car in fiont of which was a pu3h-car. Mr. Allyn was standing on the front part of the car with his b.ck toward th direction in which thcar was being run. Just aa the two cars came together the foreman ordered him to step from the car on which they were riding onto the pushcar, and at the same time signaled another of the men to apply the brake, which slackened their speed enough to cause a gap of a few feet between the car?. In stepping back to comply with the order he fell upon his back in the middle of the railroad track and the car. with, its load of five men. tools and water keg, in all weighing fully a ton. passing over him. A rod on the under side of the car caught his feet and doubled him up so that his feet struck his face. As he rolled over the bull-wheel struck his back and inflicted Hie Injury that cam so near proving fatal. The car was raised from the rails and thrown off the tn:ck. He was carried to town and Dr. Snyder, the B. M. railroad surgeon cf Tecumseh, was summoned. Afterward Dr. C. C. Gafford. Dr. Yoden and Dr. Waters, all of Wymore. Neb., were called in consultation, but they could afford no relief. About the 1st of October he became paralyzed from his waist down. The sense of feeling entirely left his legs, whic'.i became drawn one across the other. Dr. Livingston of Plattsmouth, Neb., the bead physician of the B. & M. railroad system, was summoned to treat the case, but finally informed his patient that he could not live to fee July, 1W?. He had no-t the means to ry the exp-nss of a, lawsuit against the railroad company, but the company's attorneys very willingly compromised the claim for damages by paying him JJ.Of'O. His condition continued to grow worse, the excruciating pain in his back never ceasing, until upon the recommendation and by the request of a lady friend. Mrs. W. G. Swan of Tecumseh. Neb., he began taking Pink Tills for Pale reople. To the Herald reporter he said: "I had no more faith in them than I would have had in eating a handful of dirt." He commenced taking the pills on the 21 day of February, taking one after each meal, and in ten dxys' time, to his surprise and intense delight, the pain began to leave him. For seven months he had suffered continuously, and his joy when relief came can b imagined but not described. He continued taking the rink Pills until the fore part of May. About the middle of Marh he could go about his ordinary work without any inconvenience. He considers himself entirely cured and feels as well as he ever did, except that his lack is not as strong as it wa.s before he was hurt. This spring he moved onto a farm twelve miles southwest of Wallace, Where he has planted a good crop of corn and Is doing all his work without any hired help. Should anyone doubt the statements herein made they are invited to see him personally or write to him. and address him at Wallace. Neb. He is thankful for what Pink Tills have done for him and is willing to go to some trouble to l-t others know of their wonderful curative properties.
