XJil_! •atJASDIKS A “KOLLSS COASIEB.” La Fayette’s new “ roller coaster” at Lin. wood Park lias a vigilant night watchman in ex-Policeman 'John McGrath, who is careful to see that no daring spirits take surreptitious rides upon the coaster during the hours of darkness, and who is himself a must fearless and gallanl rider. Mr. Met .rath is a hearty looking man, but yet has had occasion to lament the fact that*“a policeman’s lot is not a happy one.” The truth is Mr. McGrath has suffered from that distressing complaint—rheumatism, but he is no longer afflicted with it. Athloplioros cured him and he is now as well able to chase down any evil-doer and land him behind bolts and bars as he ever was. lleing asked as to his rheumatism and cura Mr. McGrath gave this account:

i was taKen wiui a severe attac-K or rheumatism in the hip. I suffered much run and was obliged to quit work entirely. was helpless so far as walking was concerned and was confined to my bed for six weeks. In my efiorts to get relief I used many kinds of medicines and liniments, but they failed to make any change for the better. Alter trying so many kinds of medicines I was very loath to experiment with any new remedy, but seeing Athlophoros recommended so highly I purchased a bottle. Alter using the one bottle I was entirely well and able to go to work. Have 1 had any return of the pains since ? None whatever. I have not lost a day’s work since.” — Mr. W. B. King, the dealer in sewing machines at the corner oPFifth and Columbia streets, has had an equally satisfactory experience with Athlophoros in curing rheumatism. “ It was magical 'in its effects upon me,” he says. “ I was first taken with pain in the soles of my feet and in a few hours was not able to walk at all. The rapidity with which the disease spread over my whole system was wonderful. Every bone, muscle and joint in my body gave me the most intense pain. My arms were both drawn up, and I could not walk, eat or sleep. I suffered in this way for many weeks. Finally, by the jiersuasion of a friend who knew of Athlophoros, I was induced to try it. I had taken but a few doses when I had very decided relief. I continued taking the medicine until I had used six bottles, and I have not had a pain of rheumatism since.” Still another resident of LaFayette, I ml., who ha3 used the wonderful remedy with the happiest results is Mrs. A. E. Sherman, ' of No. 159 Main street, who suflered so severely with sciatic rheumatism that at times she could not walk. “ I tried every kind of liniment, besides many medicines” says Mrs. Sherman, "but could get no relief. I finally said: ‘ Well, I am going to try this Athlophoros; it is spoken of very highly.’ After using about three-quarters of a bottle I began to experience relief. I used about three bottles ' and have not had any pain since. My t mother, Mrs. Lain, who lives with me, is now seventy-seven years old, and for about five years was badly crippled with rheumatism? She was much worse than I; in fact, at one time we thought she would never get well, and more as an experiment than anything else I gave her a quarter of a bottle of Athlophoros. She got some relief even with that small amount and continued using it to the extent of four bottles. She does not have any pain now, hut still has some stiffness in her joints.” if you cannot gqf Athlophoros of your drugpist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—ope dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn t it, do not be - persuaded to trv something else, but order at once from us «s ilircrtcd. Athlophcsos Co, 112 WaU Street, New York.

Some months ago I became afflicted with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and I desire to state how I whs cured. It increased Ui violence until I could no longer get in and out of the ears without assistance. ? While thus suffering all the agonies of this dread disease and ready to abandon my position through sheer necessity, I was induced to try B. 15.15. TH K EFFECT WAS TRULY MAGICAL. I had no idea that a medicine could produce such an effect in so short a time. I experienced a wonderful change liefore using half a bottle. After taking only four bottles* I find myself to-day a well man. This splendid medicine effected a cure no less wonderful In the case of my wife, who u;.ns also terribly afflicted with Rheumatism.

HENDRICKS’ MEMORIAL Meeting at the Court House on Tuesday * Evening. The Resolutions Adopted-Addresses by Prominent Citizens. The memorial meeting held at the Court House on Tuesday evening, in honor of the dead Vice-President, was largely attended. Dr. J. It. AdamB called the meeting to order, and Rev. D. T. Davis opened the exercises with prayer. Goodlet Morgan presided, and the editors of the local papers were chosen Secretaries. Hou. E. P. Richardson, of the Committee on Resolutions, presented and read the following * RESOLUTION 8. Where as, On the evening of the 25th of November, 1885, the people of the United States were startled with the sudden and “Unexpected announcement of the death of Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice-President of the United States and an honored citizen of Indiana; and Whereas, It is emineutiy proper that the people of Pike county should give appropriate expression to their sorrow for the distinguished dead. ltesoived, That in the death of Thomas A. Hendricks, the people of the United States have lost a faithful puhlic servant, the Republic an honest statesman, and humanity a representative man; whose life work, achievements and nobiljty of character, justly entitle him to rank hereafter with those who have been declared to be the great of the earth. Resolved. That. Indiana laments her loss in the death of a citizen so illustrious as he was, an off-spring of the State, a growth of its laws and its institutions. That as a citizen, his private character stood without question. Ilis moral and religions virtues were examples for all As a husband, his high consideration and tender devotion to his wife entered into and became a part of his public life. As a lawyer he was able, learned and eloquent; his private virtues adorning all the walks of his professional life. In his public character, as a representative in the State Legislature, a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1850, Representative in Congress, Commissioner of the General Land office. United States Senator, Governor of the State of Indiana, and Viee-President of the United States—in all of these stations, demanding the highest talent, the greatest discretion of judgment, and amidst the greatest human excitement, no word was ever uttered against his private character. He leaves for our admiration and example a character rich in all the virtues that constitute the Christian gentleman, the able lawyer, the wise statesman, the party leader and the public officer. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the couutv papers, and that as an expression of the citizens of Pike county in this the hour of deep affliction, that the Secretary of this meeting present the widow of the deceased statesman a copy ot the same. R. Harrell. J R. Adams. W. J. Bktiiell. W P. Knight. E. P. Richardson. Committee on Resolutions.

After these resolutions weic adopted as the sentiment of the meeting, Rev. C. W. Yates feelingly referred to the life and services of the dead VicePresident in words full of pathos and tenderness. His remarks were earnest, his tribute to Mr. Hendricks appropriate; and he closed with the admonition that in the midst of life we are in death, and suddenly one is called to an eternal home. Hon. W. F. Townsend was called upon unexpectedly to deliver a eulogy upon the distinguished dead. He referred to Judge W. Q. Gresham's memorial address at the bar meeting at Indianapolis, wherein the Judge pronounced Mr. Hendricks the peer of the Indiana bar. Mr. Townsend’s brief speech was opportune and in harmouy with the occasion; and he concluded with the quotation that Mr. Hendricks had lived well and died well. Rev. D. T. Davis strongly praised Mr. Hendricks’ nobility of purpose, his great earnestness, his fidelity to domestic ties, and the faithful performance of his duties as a Christian, ltev. Davis spoko with exceeding fervor, and a grand and liberal spirit, and with great depth of feeling. AVm. Hawthorne, Esq., who made the acquaintance of,Mr. llendrieks'in 1850,-spoke of the early days of the dead statesmen, when he took pride iu affiing in the formation of Indiana's constitution. Mr. Hawthorne knew him long and intimately and praised him as no one else could. E. A. Ely, Esq., spoke in eloquent terms of Mr. Hendrick’s life and public services, and that his name and deeds will be written upon a marble tablet with a pen of iron, that time can not efface, but which will grow brighter and brighter. After an impressive prayer by Rev. C. W. Yates, the meeting adjourued. —

Hie Jasper Courier says, in reference to report of the killing of a child by Miss Kelly, which the Courier gave such wide puplicity: We are informed that after all the teacher did jiot kill.that child in Pike county, as related last week, but only gave it an extra • touch of her slipper without hurting it a great deal, but exasperating the parents, resulting in a charge before a justice of the peace of assault and battery, of which the teacher was acquitted, we presume. It is a good deal of a wonder how the’tale of a murder got so wide spread, and with such minute particulars. We are informed the young lady is an excellent teacher and popular'in the district, notwithstanding the whipping. Stolen. Stolen from the undersigned on the 18th iiist., a blue chinchilla overcoat, about thirty-seven; a rolled plate watch chain, with open links, a rolled plate watch chain with woven links, round ; a gents’ gold watch charm) opens, has space for two pictures, black stone on one side and red on the other, aud a gold Cameo gents’ ring with three pearls on one side of set and two on othei^—one lost out.
