Mis Case Pronounced Hopeless by Prominent Physicians A Story of Surpassing Interest Verified Under Ruth. I am the most conservative reporter on the stuff. I despise the chimerical, 1 court the real. I burrow in facts. I am from j Lwialngourg. We don't often get u good | tiling from there, but here is one. F. C. Kimball last night gave me the following: "I am a plain straightforward man. Originally from Lansingburg. where now reside any mother, brother and sister. Several years ago I moved to Rochester. There I was In the employ of the Erie railroad as yard and freight superintendent. After a strain to my bach caused by heavy lifting three years ago, I developed so-called rheumatism. It was an increasing thing for two years—at times worse, again better. 1 worked intermittently. If I would shut my eyes I would fall down. My feet and legs soon lost feeling—were numb. This extended to my stomuch and at times to my hands l)rs. Lee and Spencer,W Rochester. Anally pronounced my case progressive locomotor ntaxia, said it was Incurable, and so I lay. Up to tills time I had been sick nearly two years. Before tills and for several months I was confined to ray ued. Fins stuck into my limbs full length gave me no pain; ray legs seemed wooden. So I say as 1 lay there I was absolutely one half dead—dead from the waist down. There was one word written in large letters all over that sick room— C-L-A-Y. Life departed from my limbs, that word best expressed what was left. You, of course have read of Tom Marshall. Tile

reporter In describing him, described me exactly. I send for tlie remedy which cured lilm,—for Dr. Williams’,Pink Pills, to Kcheneoljuly, N. Y„ and tried them, I took them Irregularly for two months. tThey didn't seem to help. All of a sudden one morning one of my-legs began to prickle—seemed as I (j though rubbed with nettles, Then, perhaps, you think I did not Investigate that medicine. I began to mend fast; got some circulation, got control of my bowels and after a few weeks got out of bed and tried to stand At last X fetched It. Could walk—,uow could run. And Pink ptllfcured tne. The doctors wild I couldn’t be cured, but 1 am. What 1 am now telling you is merely a reiteration of what I long ago wrote to the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company at Schenectady, and my affidavit to the same Is now In their hands. Here also Is a letter which my mother wrote to them ami to which she lias made atllduvit as you see.” 186 Second Ave , Lansingbubg. N. Y. Dkak Sins:—My son Fred has'Just written you a letter concerning himself to which I desire to add a few words in entire corroboration of all he has said. He has told you of his agony and his cure. The remembrance of the whole thing makes me shudder as I think of it. It Is all too wonderful forme. I was resigned to his fate. Now as I look at him walklug about and feeling well, with all his old health and ambition returned, It does seem thut he has beeu born ngoln and rescued from death for a fact. Could I, therefore, say too much to you of thanks In the fullpess of my gratitude? Can I well cease blessing yon? Yet the Intensity of ray feelings make my words of thanksgiving to yon seem empty Indeed; for the lost Is found and lie that was dead Is alive again. Yours, Hakkiet J. Kimball. Sworn and subscribed before me this 5th, day of April, 1803. M. L. Kancabsi, Notary Public, Mrs. Kimball said:’ “While 1 believe in answers tojifayer and prayed earnestly for liis reodvery, for I am a Christian woman and believe my*prayers were answered, 1 do think Pluk'Pills w ere the means the Lord used to affeot my son’s euro. X want you to meet my daughter, Mrs. O. II. Morrison with whom we are living here, and the Rev, George Falrlee, pastor of the Westminister Church, who llves'wlth tus and here what they have to say,'1 So Mrs. Kimball brought In, and while the story as told was most complete and could be added to by nothing they could say, yet the reporter heard from tho lips ot the sister and their pastor corroborative words of all that had been said: The reporter also ran across tho son-in-law, Mr. u,‘ H, Morrison, cashier of the National bank of Troy.und spoketo him of Mr. Kimball. Ho Is a busy man and though he could only be detained for a moment he said: "I know nothing of the case technically He says he was cured by Dr, Williams’ Pluk Pills, and I think that is about the size of It ” Pink Pills restore pale people and sallow complexions to the glow of health, and are A speclflo for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, while iu the case of men they effect a radical cure of all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature.” These Pills are manufactured by the Dr Williams’Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N, Y. end Brockvllle, Ontario, and are sold in boxes (never In loose form by the dozen or hundred and the public are cautioned against numerous Imitations sold In this shape) at 00 cents a box cr two boxes for £1.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct from pr, Williams’ Medicine Co., at either address. Perhaps some of our readers would like to know iu what respect Chamberlain’s cough remedy is better than any other We will tell you. When this remedy ia taken as soou as a cold lias been- contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect of the cold and greatly lesson it’s severity, and it is the only remedy that will do this. It j acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, liquefying the mucus and j qausing its expulsion from tae air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to a 1 strong and healthy condition No other ! remedy in the market possessea these remarkable properties. No other will cure a i cold ** quickly. For sale by J. It. Adams & lion. o Children Cry for Pftcher’s Castorla. I

COBWEBS. No longer fairies hold their sway; Vet tiny hammocks swing „ From waving summer houghs today. And to the grhsses cling Soft beaded veils of woven mist. Where elves Were wont to hold their tryst. The bnay little gnome who spreads Unseen these dainty things Can mingle with his fragile threads No hope of future wings— Unlike the rival worm who spins Bis silken shroud and heaven wins. Nature has weavers who possess Beauty and power of song. The Spider in his humble dress Is silent under wrong. Ami with his webs the vireoa dare To make their pendent nests more fain Yet still undaunted by his fate He hangs this shimmering late On awkward wall or clumsy frato With matchless skill and grace. But ceaseless foes his fabrics rend. Titanla's weaver has no friend. —Mary T. Hlgginson in Harper's Bazar. Lead as a Tooth Filling. Dr. h. L. Davison of Ottawa vouches for the following: “A physician practicing in Ottawa and well known for bis hunting propensities came to my office to have a lower wisdom tooth treated. After this was accomplished he asked me if there were any other teeth In that vicinity that required treatment. Examining the second molar, I found what ] thought to be an amalgum filling In the grinding surface, which had the appearance of yeats of service. I remarked that the filling in this tooth was still giving good service. He declared ho never had a tooth filled and never before had required the services of a dentist. "Upon closer examination I found the cavity filled with a grain of No. 4 shot. This had been jammed in so hard that it completely stopped the opening of the cavity. Around the edge an oxide had formed and to all appearance was preserving that tooth as well as the most carefully inserted gold filling. The only way the doctor could acoount for it was in eating wild duck. The shot, being imbedded in the meat, had crowded into the cavity unknown to him and there remained. Strange to say, he would not have it removed and replaced by a more costly filling, remarking, 'That is good enough for me.’”

Yellowstone Park. Yellowstone park is the great zoological garden of this country. Of buffalo, which nave been almost exterminated elsewhere, here are probably 400, or more than in all the rest of the United States combined. Of antelope, also greatly reduced at the west, here are probably 500, and of elk fully 25,000. In the northern part are large herds of mountain sheep; in the southern moose are found. There are large numbers of bears, beavers and other wild animals. The increase of bears and pumas is such that in the interest of the elk and the deer it has been proposed that the military force should thin out the carnivora, perhaps by capturing them for the use of zoological gardens. As the elk only come down in the valleys during the winter, the flies driving them to the forest covered heights in the summer, tourists usually see nothing of them, so that it has been proposed to fence in a herd of them and also one of butl'alo for the edification of summer visitors. But the charm of the park is the free roaming of these animals.—Boston Commonwealth^ Optical Illusions. There are many-curious optical illusions connected with color, declares an opticiau. If letters cut out of blue and red paper are stuck on a screen of black velvet and viewed from a suitable distance, the red letters appear to some people to be nearer than the blue, while about as many see the blue nearer than the red. Looked at with one eye closed this difference disappears, and both sets of letters appear equally distant. If one who sees the red letters nearer than the blue covers his pupils on the outer or temporal side with a black, screen, the ml will retreat and soon appear to bo behind the blue, while if oue who sees the blue as nearer than the red covers his pupils on the inner or nasal side the red appear to come forward and the blue to shrink back. Overgrown Insects. A story of monster mosquitoes comes from the Ocmnlgee swamps. Three fishermen, were camped out one night, when they were attacked by a swarm of what appeared to be mosquitoes in shape, but which were as large as humming birds. The noise made by them was similar to that of the mosquito, though considerably louder. The fishermen finally beat them off with sticks and bushes, but they made things lively for them forawhile.—Atlanta Constitution. The Very First Greenback. A Mr. Slocom of Allegan county, Mich., ha8apieceof United States money in his possession which he declares he would not exchange evenly for 100 times its face value lu gold. The piece in question is the very first legal tender “greenback” note struck off by the United States government. It bears date of Aug. 2, 1862, apd is marked, “Series A, No. L”—St. Louis Republic. The very earliest coinage that can properly be said to be “strictly American” was ordered by the original Virginia company In the year 1612, only five years after the founding of Jamestown. These coins were minted at Somers islands, now known as the Bermudas.—Exchange. In both France and Germany one-fourth reduced to a decimal is written as 0,25; iu Ehgland it is writteh 0'25 (always with the period at the top of the line), and in the United States in this way, 0.25. In England a period at the bottom of the line is a sign of multiplication. Goust, the smallest separate and independent territory in the world, is situated la the lower Pyrenees, about 10 miles from Olerou, between the boundaries of France and Spain. The people speak a language of their own, a cross between French and Spanish. __ “Isn’t there money iu this idea?” said a man. “I mean the invention of a metal that would wear black clear through and could be used for eyelets, for hooks on laced shoes, for umbrella snaps and for many other uses.” Sunday was a day of amusement with the Londoners of 1800. According to a cal culation, 200,000 of them spent each Sunday in summer in the suburban inns and resorts in getting rid of $125,000. , ■ - Mrs. M. T.

PIKE COUNTY. U bat a Representative ot the Eiau^viUe Ceurler Thinks •( It. OTWELL. ■* For many years this lit tie town has been in existence. Its location on the road from Petersburg, the county seat of Pike to Jasper, the county spat of Dul ojs, it being about half way between and situated in a rich agricultural district has always given it a prestage as a trading point for a large scope of country. Going from Otwell you pass through ALGIERS. At this point lives Dr. R. W. Harris who has been a practicing physician here for sixteen years, lie is tho factor of his locality and a good sound democrat of the old school. We had the pleasure of spending a very pleasant half hour with the doctor while our horses rested. Arriving at Otwell wo met the following gentlemen who are the wide-awake people ot the place: W. C. DILLON’. Mr. Dillon has a large general merchandise store. The business is in a flourishing condition; the stock full and complete and the trade healthy and firm. Mr. Dillon farmed in Illinois four years before coming here and is well versed in the “cropology” of the state. Mr. Dillon is a republican, the only thing needing cl^tige is his political.faith. Ho is a genial gentleman. I)R. WILLIAM DEMOTT. Pr. DeMott is a graduate of the of the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery in the class of 1871. He was born in Dubois county, and began the practice ot his profession at l.laysville, and five years ago moved, here, lie has a large practice among the best people and is in prospering circumstances. Tho doctor is a republican and served as pension examiner under Harrison.

E. DILLON; Mr. Dillon is engaged in the drug business and ihe appearance of the stock and store indicate that he is the right man in the right place. He carries a line line of pure drugs, and his paints and oils are ol the best makes. Mr. Dillon was born in Dubois county and came here in 18J7 and went into business with his father who had established a general merchandise store in 1875. Three years ago he opened his drug store and has had smooth sailing on the sea of success ever since, lie spent three years in the ISlack Hills and the recital of his experience while there is very interesting. As to politics Mr. Dillon is a republican. A. HEDK1CK & CO. Messrs Hedrick & Company have the hotel, a feed stable and a grocery. All three are booming.. The hotel is a pleasant, home-like place to stop and they seem to enjoy taking care of the weary traveler. The stock of groceries can’t be excelled; everything is fresh and in season. They have been in business nearly four years and have been very successful. Mr. Hedrick was born in Daviess county and came here in 1SS7. He was engaged in the carpenter business for fourteen years. He is a life long democrat, a good worker for the old party and has never asked for office. ALEX 1IAURY. This gentleman came here about one year ago and opened up a meat market and saloon. He came here from Oakland City where he ran a meat market aloue. In both meal market and saloon lie has an excellent trade and tries hard to deserve his patronage. UNION. In the western part of Pike county, within less than a mile from the Gibson county line and about four miles frbSTIhe Knox county line has been a settlement for over halt a century. What was a collection of a few farm houses built close together for mutual aid and protection away back in the thirties is now a thriving village of about 500 population. The district surrounding Union is peculiarly rich and fertile, i The town lias ionrteeu business houses, a fine graded school and six church buildings, and is altogether a fine town. The people are anxious to help build ,a small grist mill. While here we had the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of the following business men: KIME & THOMAS. This firm was organized last June The business was established eight years ago by Mr. Kime, the senior member and was in a flourishing condition. Mr. Kime is a native of Pike county and was postmaster under Cleveland’s administration, proving to be a most efficient olfieer, and giving general satisfaction. Mr. Thomas, the junior picmbcr gf the

firm, was county superintendent of school* for two terms, and was very popular. Ho was also delegate to the last democratic convention, and is a straight-out consistent democrat, as is Mr. Kime. Both gentlemen stand well in their county. a. r. KIME. Mr. Kime commenced business here for himself in July last. Before that time he was clerking for G. F. Kime. He is a young man, an earnest, aggressive democrat, and was appointed postmaster in July. He is a bright, energetic than and his appointment gives general satisfaction. It. A. HYXKMAN. Mr. Iiyneman is a farmer and lives about one tnilc from Uuion. He has been here about tight years and came from,Gibson county where he was born and reared. He is chairman of the township committee and was delegated to the last congressional convention and Congressman Taylor had no more ardent supporter than Mr. Iiyneman. Mr. II. is owner of a large aud elegant farm of which he is very proud, as he well may be. As one looks over the broad fertile acres, of which the seed* time is the promise and the harvest time the realization of wealth and plenty, it is easy to believe a farmer’s life a happy one. “I consider Chamberlain’s cough remedy a 8)-ecitlU}fi>r croup.
