A MOTHER’S STORY.

Happiness Comes After Years of Suffering. The Terrible Experience of a Well-Known Official’s Wife—A Story That Appeals to Every Mother In the Land. [From the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Press.] No county official in East Tennessee is better known and more highly esteemed than Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit Court Clerk of Rhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr. Wilson. He enjoys the confidence and respect of all classes, and in the business community his word is as good as his bond. Just now %Ir. Wilson is receiving heartiest congratulations from his numerous friends because of the restoration to robust health pf his estimable wife, who has for years been a helpless invalid. Mrs. W T ilson’s high standing in society, and her many lovable traits of character have won her a host of friends, and her wonderful recovery has attracted wide-spread attention. As the Press was the medium of bringing to the invalid lady's attention the remedy that has effected her remarkable cure, a reporter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs. Wilson, in order that the general public might have the benefit of the sufferer’s experience and be made aware of the treatment that wrought such a marvelous change in her condition. The reporter was welcomed at the Wilson home, and the enthusiastic lady with becoming reluctance gavo the history of her affliction and the manner in which she was relieved: ‘•Yes,” said Mra. Wilson, “I was for eight years an invalid with one of the most distressing afflictions woman can suffer. For eight years I moped around, dragging myself with difficulty and pam out of bed. My little ones went untrained and were greatly neglected, while I looked listlessly and helplessly at the cheerless prospect before me and them. I suffered the most intense paius in the small of my back, and these seemed even greater in the region of the stomach, extending down to the groins. I suffered agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no word for the feeling caused by that dreadful sensation of Weakness and helplessness I constantly experienced. “I was treated for my trouble by several local physicians, but they were able to give me only temporary relief by the use of sedatives and narcotics. I had almost given up all hope of, ever securing permanent relief when 1 saw an account in the Press of a cure which Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had effected. I decided to try them, as I knew the lady who had been cured and had great confidence in her statement. I began to take the pills in October, 1813, and in two months I was doing light housework and attending to the children without any bad effects or weakness, such as I had formerly experienced. Hitherto I had been unable to retain any food, but now my appetite grew stronger, and with it came back that old, healthy and hearty tone of the stomach. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured mo, and I assure you the cure has brought a great change in our homo. I can now rejoice in my husband's success, for I feel that I have something to live for. Who has abetter right to feel this than a mother i One thing more. 1 have recommended these pills to others, and many of the women of Dayton hava taken them with good results, and it is my greatest pleasure to recommend to every Buffering woman a remedy that has done so much for me.” An analysis proves that Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Palo People contain, in aeondensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shatttered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica,, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure ia ail cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are now manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in "boxes (never in loose foVin by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in tills shape) at 50 cents a box or six boxes f0r.52.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company.

Philosophical Housekeeper.

Among- Gen. Maury’s reminiscences of Fredericksburg, Va., are some of Col. Byrd Willis. Somewhat late in life, after breaking up his home in Florida, he returned to end his days in Fredericksburg. He boarded with a kinswoman of his own, Mrs. Carter, a decayed gentlewoman of great piety, but apparently not a first rate housekeeper. Col. Willis took his meals for the most part at a restaurant, although he paid Mrs. Carter liberally for the board she was supposed to furnish. One day. as Col. Willis used to tell the story, the old lady’s resources were exhausted —her material resources, that is to say—-but she was equal to the emergency. She took to her bed, leaving this order with the servant: “Nancy, there is nothing in the house but mush for dinner. Give that to the boarders. If they are Christians they will eat it and be thankful; if they are not Christians it is much better than they deserve.”—Youth’s Companion.

Requiescant.

Three human lives were spent, and on one quiet day, ** A farewell briefly said, they passed from earth away. The first, to pleasure wed, his motto: “Self alone.” Men scarcely realized ho from their midst had gone. The second, glory seeking, full many deeds had wrought, By eager, surging crowds, his vacant place was sought. The third, in lowly service for the needy and the dense, .Had gladly spent his all, nor thought of recompense. He in the hearts of many is with tend'rest love enshrined, While waiting, lies unfilled the gap he left behind. 9 —Alice W. Kellogg, in N. Y Observer.

Her Powdered Cinnamon.

A truly appalling contretemps which occurred at Aldershot when the queen dined and slept there. At the very end of dinner her majesty was served with a slice of melon; seeing her looking about for something, the page-in-waiting realized with sudden consternation that a certain suiall cruet filled with powdered cinnamon had been forgotten. The queen is verj fond of this piquant spice and, besides often having sweets flavored with it, 6he insists upon having a supply constantly’ at hand to use with any plate she fancies. It was a sad moment for the culprits.— Loudon Woman.

THE CROPS.

Their Condition as Shown by th© Government Report. Chicago, Sept. 12. —The reports as to the condition of crops throughout the country, and the general influence of weather on growth, cultivation and harvest, was to-day made by the directors of the different state weather services of the United States weather bureau, and are as follows: Illinois—Temperature above normal, .sunshine below and rainfall above; rainfall well distributed and unusually heavy In northeast counties; corn improving and muon will be beyond danger from frost In ten to fourteen days: ground in excellent condition, some rye up and looking well. Indiana—Good rains, especially in northern portion, revived pastures and put soil in good condition for plowing; corn maturing fast, some safe from frost and much in shock. W istcnsln —Frequent and generous rains during the week revived grass, benefited late potatoes and put soil in good condition to plow; corn is mostly cut; fall plowing and seeding is now being pushed forward rapidly; forest fires generally extinguished. Michigan—Temperature and rainfall above normal, sunshine below; copious rains past week have greatly benefited pastures and late potatoes; ground in good condition for plowing, except in clay soil. Ohio—Beneficial rains have improved late potatoes, gardens and pastures; potatoes small and crop short: apples small and few: peaches large in number, but small; cutting corn general, bottom lands giving fair yields; upland ,c|it for fodder; early tobacco housed and about two-thirds crop of fair quality. Minnesota Warmer than usual; heavy showers in southeast section, too dry elsewhere; thrashing and corn cutting nearly finished. lowa—A warm week with copious showers greatly benefiting pastures and all immature crops; more than half the corn cut or beyond danger of frosts. North Dakota—Rains during the week have delayed thrashing somewhat; fall plowing going on with difficulty on account of dry condition of soil; corn out of danger from frosts. Kansas—Abundant rains, except in extreme north and northwest, have freshened pastures, revived gardens and orchards, increased stock water, improved late corn and prepared grounds for fall plowing. Nebraska—Showers general and pastures much improved; some plowing done and a little rye sown, but more rain needed in most sections. General Remarks—The recent rains have benetited late corn 'n New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Maryland, Illinois, Missourijand Kansas, tut were too late to be of benefit to early corn. In Wisconsin, Minnesota and lowa the greater part of the crop has been cut. North Dakota reports corn free from danger from frost, and in Illinois much will be beyond danger in from ten to fourteen days. In Mississippi much injury has resulted to corn from heavy rains, whilo hot winds and dry weather have proved injurious in Kentucky. The week has been favorable for cotton in the # Carolinas, Tennessee and Texas, and the crop is slowly improving in Georgia, but heavy rains have proven injurious in Florida, Mississippi and Arkansas. Picking has been interrupted by rains in Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. Louisiana reports shedding general and prospects less favorable than last week. The tobacco a crop is practically secured in New York and Pennsylvania. and is being saved in good condition in Maryland. Cutting is progressing slowly in Kentucky where the crop has suffered from hot and dry weather. Plowing for fall seeding, which has been greatly delayed on account of drought, has progressed rapidly in those states where good rains have fallen. Frost on the morning of the Bth caused some damage in New England. Frosts also caused damage in Idaho and Montana. Killing frosts were general on morning of 11th in Minnesota.

THE PLANKINTON BANK.

Sensational Disclosures Made Regarding Its Failure. Milwaukee, Sept. 12.—There were more sensational developments Tuesday in regard to the manner in which the Plankinton bank was managed, and no less a personage than Judge James G. Jenkins, of the federal bench, is very much involved. The national notoriety gained by Judge Jenkins by reason of the famous Northern Pacific strike injunction, and his general attitude in relation to Northern Pacific and other corporations will make this disclosure of national importance. The minutes of the directors’ meetings held just previous to the failure of the hank were read in court by ex-Congressman La Follette, and they clearly demonstrated that Judge Jenkins was not so ignorant of the way in which affairs were being managed as his friends and attorneys have maintained. The bank failed in May, 1893, and the records show that April 24 a meeting was held and upon motion of Director (Judge) Jenkius, Lappen was accorded an overdraft of $3,000 and given a certificate of deposit for three months of $15,000. Long- before the failure Lappen & Co. were under examination, but Director Jenkins was always found on the side of the big borrower and his friend, President Day. Meetings of the directors were held April 8, 7 and 10 and in each Judge Jenkins took a prominent part. Instead of being a merely figurehead director, as his friends have claimed, he was very much interested in the management of the business. The disclosures cannot fail to cause a sensation, and Judge Jenkins will again appear before the public. Among the witnesses examined was SI. Fichenbnrg, who was a member of the committee of five business men who overhauled Lappen’s accounts. He thought Lappen’s account of $285,000 was worth hardly SIOO,OOO, and that the $143,000 worth of Buffalo mining stock was worth less than $15,000. The case against the indicted bankers is being vigorously pushed now, and it is the prevalent opinion that the district attorney has finally got evidence in his hands that will be extremely difficult for the officers of the bank to overcome. A desperate effort was made about six months ag-o by ex-Senator Spooner, as the attorney for Judg-e Jenkins, to save the jurist, but the district attorney cleverly dodged the blow with a nolle pros. As it stands now Judge Jenkins maybe tried for complicity in wrecking the bank.
