MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The Hon. William M. Springer, the ex-congressman from the Springfield, III. district, who baa just been appointed to one of the federal judgeships in the Indian Territory and whose long service in the house of representatives made him a national charaoter, was born in Sullivan county, Indiana, where he lived until he was 12 years of age when his family moved to Jacksonville, 111. If I am not mistaken his wife once lived inPxris, 111.

It is sail th© women 'bicyclists of the -city will wear bloomers this season. Bloomers are out of date. Kniefc«r bookers have been adopted where bloom ^ers have been tried, liith^r knit stockings or legtfing* nre worn with them and the riders *ay ihe enhanced comfort is -as perceptible as when skirts were first laid aside for bloomers.

There has been some gossip about a new daily newspaper of Democ&tic poli tics. The faot that Mr. Henry Watterson was in the city for a day or. two a while back and that his son was here later and made inquiries as to the advertising field led to the report. Talking of D9w papers has it occurre 1 to the readers of the two older daily papers that since the Tribune started each of he two old •dailies have been providing the reader with fully one third more raiding mat ter.

Charles Reede tte novelist made one of his characters say that "the worst kind of a damned ass is the damned aas who doesn't know that he is a damned ass." The worst kind ot a bigot is the -one who believes all who do not agree with him are bigots. He is like the man who presided at a public meetlug which he called to order as follows: "This meeting has been called to *tve expres -aion to our belief in the #ht of free speech. If there is anyone present who doesn't believe in free Hpeech he is here •by requested

to

refrnln from addressing

'the meeting or leave the hail." The one who talks most about "personal liberty" often is the one who takes delight in dis turblng the peace of his neighbor merely to assert his idea as to what constitutes ••personal liberty." Man About Town believes Sunday baseball is a good thing. It haB not been a disorderly occasion heretofore in this city and unless the greed of the brewery people make it so this year by converting the opportunity to their money making advantage by starting a saloon near the grounds it will again bean innocent and healthful outdoor recreation. But what I wanted .to call attention to was the inconsistency of some of those who are berating «he "bigots" who want to stop Sunday baseball. They say that this community is in favor of Sunday games and that those who oppose this local sentiment are not good citizen!*, even though there Is a law against the sport. Yet everyone of this class of persons will tell you that the local option feature of temperance laws-is an outrage on "persona! liberty" and when they say so they haven't the slightest idea they are giving evidence of the most Intolerant bigotry—that which in faot says the majority may not rule.

It must have been an ecstatio affair at the new electric light works last Sunday night when th© councilman visited the place, if on© is to judge from newspaper reports of the ejaculations of the city fathers.

Boy West, elected oity attorney In Chicago this week, is the law partner of C. Porter Johnson, who tried to practice Jaw In this city several years ago and caused considerable amusement by the display of a remarkable quality or gall. He did not see success In the immediate future here, and went to Chicago, where he rushed to the front and ia now a state senator. He ia a Democrat, and one of the charges against West was that be, West, worked for Johnson and against the Republican candidate. West is a young man, and inexperienced, but he stands in with the men who run the local conventions of his party and was put up by them for city attorney. He ran many thousand votes behind his ticket. _____

The spring term of the Normal began this week, but under the new limitation for admission the attendance will fall several hundred short of what It was last spring, when nearly thirteen hun dred students were enrolled. The restriction was made necessary by the refusal of the legislature to appropriate aooney for salaries for extra teachers

Last spring extra teachers were employed, and the money to pay tfcem was

taken from another tund. The legislature refused to nitfke tuis good. The allowance for teaohers is

nj'v

what it

was ten years ago when the tutandano© was not half what It now is. The restriction fell mostly on the young teachers in the public schools of the state. The rul© is to admit those who have county licenses for not less than two years. This barred the many who had licenses for twelve or eighteen months. The 680 students who were her© at th© winter term are, of ceurse, eligible. The other eligible ones are those who in the past had completed at least one.term's work in the Normal, the graduates of colleges and of certain high schools.

In the report of the oommltUie of visitors which inspeoted the school last nrontb especial reference is made to the faot nnder the state law an injustice is done to some graduates. The law jequires that all graduatos shall, after receiving certificate of graluation, teach two years in the schools of the state before they can receive their diplomas, which latter entitle them to a teachers' appointment without taking the county superintendent's examination. The injustice is in the faot that many of the graduates of the Normal have taught more than two years before they graduate. An effort was made to amend the law at the recent session of the legislature, but the bill failed in the house for the lack of a constitutional majority. It received something like thirty votes to ad zen in the negative, but a constitutional majority is iifty-one.

The oommittee of visitors, whloh is appointed by the state board of education, was composed of the following educators: Irwia Shepard, president of the State Normal sohool at Winona, Minn. Charles F. Patterson, superintendent of oity schools of Edinburgh, Ind., and F. A. Cotton, county superintendent of Henry oounty, and now a deputy in State Superintendent Geeting's office. The oommittee laid particular stress on what it said was a faot that there is the utmost harmony and loyalty in the sohool between teaohers and students and toward the administration.

The physicians and the city board of health have virtually abandoned the rule for reports or cases of measles and the placing of a card on the house. Dr. Jenkins say that it has come to be understood that everyone must have the measles sometime and the earlier in life the better. He said the blank form sent out by the state board of health on the bick of which contagious diseases are referred to and which used to include measles no longer names that disease.

Perhaps the great majority of people learned for the firdt time this week that the Harrison electric company bad re ceived a valuable franchise from the city for the use of the public highways for distributing heat and power. The work of constructing a pipf» line for the distribution o^ steam was begun. This ffanohise was granted to the company when it received the contract for lighting the ntreets. It wan this feature of the franchise to which Man About Town referred at, the time as not having been priutod in the daily papers. It is a valuable privilege. There was no reason why it should have been given away. The election in Chicago this week turned on this one abuse of public interests— the giving away of valuable franchises. The day will come when those who have been using Mr. Harrison's popularity in the city as a cloak under which these valuable gifts have been made, in secret, will be roundly criticised by th© people. A few weeks ago the same council exacted a revenue from a telephone company for a franchise that is not one-third as valuable as the one given free to Mr. Harrison.

The prioe of meat has not been raised here as yet, but it will be in a few days. In the larger cities meat is selling at three and four cents a pound higher than it was a few weeks ago. The reason is that less cattle are being killed. Livestock is selling atr$2 50 more a hundred pounds than a month ago. In- this city the price on foot is fl.50 higher than it was three weeks ago. The^price is from $3.50 to $5.50 a hundred, which is higher than ever known here. Fred See burger says there is an actual scarcity of beef cattle, 'in .proof of this he referred to the quotation on hides and the fact that hides are now being brought into this country from Australia and South America which used to go to TSurope. _______

T^be Rev. R. V. Hunter read thef constitution of the civic federation at the Presbyterian church this week, and briefly outlined the work the federation has in view. He did not say anything about Sunday base ball, and so near as can learn the question of Sunday ball playing has not been considered. So it would seem that those persons who got Rabbi Lyons to deliver an address on the subject "went off half-cocked."

The dootors bad a lively session Thurfday night at the meeting of the Vigo Medical Society. Dr. Moorehead was down for a paper on medical expert testimony In the courts. The recent contradictory testimony in the Bridges case started the discussion in something of a personal way, tbat lain the personal way dootors have, which may be ever so personal and bitter in thought but with the sugar coat of courteous language. When the surgeon of to day goes after you be has his instruments shining and so beautiful that you do not experience the full horror of the operation when it apptoaohes you. Then there is a finesse with which the man with the" sharpened knife reaches under your fifth rib. So when they figuratively carve each other in debate as they did the

other night there is no slashing movements. There was repeated re-assurance of distinguished oo oaf deration Dr, Moorhead was of the opinion tbat there are few genuine medical experts competent to testify in an insanity case and it was his reoommendation that physicians should not so readily go on the witness stand, ______

Th© annual repyrt of th© Vandalia which is just out is more in detail than heretofore, and contains much information of curious interest to the outsider. The report shows the source of revenue and the expense acoount in all the minute items, For eaoh division, or each of the leased lines, the mileage of the engines and the cost per mile to run them Is given. For instance, on the main line, that ia between here and Indianapolis, it is shown that the average cost of running a passenger engine per mile was 14.78 cents, and for a freight

Until Marob 80th he had been traveling thirty one days and speaking on. an average of three times a day. It must be remembered that the nights between these days of travel were not spent In Pullman sleeping oars. Therefore the physical exertion or the trip was the more trying. On the Coast his meetings were largely attended and in several instances he consented to fill a return engagement. While the press associations ignored his meetings, at least so far as sending reports to the eastern part of the country is concorned, the faot is that his trip through the northwest and through

Thi Case Happened in Panama, Mo., w*d fa tit* Wonder of tlx* State* [From the Kanttu OUy Timet.)

For years one of the best known men In Bates and Vernon counties has been Hark M. Woodson, now postmaster at Panama, and brother of ex-State Inspector of Mines, C. C. Woodson, of tbia city. The people of Rich Hill, where be formerly resided, and of hit present home, remember well tee bent form, misshapen almost from the semblance of man, which has painfully bowed its head half to earth and labored snail-like across the walks season after season, and when one day last month it straightened to its full height, threw away the heavy butt of cane which for years had been its only support from total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly, unhesitatingly about the two cities, people looked and wondered. The story of the remarkable case has became the marvel of the two ooun{ies._ Exactly as Mr. Wood'

published In '84 the rheumatism started in my right knee, and after a lingering illness it sqttled generally in my Joints. I was finally able to arise, but for tne past five years could only walk with the aid of crutches, and my body was bent half toward the ground. I went to the best dispensary in Kansas Citv, treated for six weeks, and witliwhere I was out the slightest good. I then tried a stron Sen went tQ the City Hospital at St. Louis, where the best physicians treated me—(including Drs. Kale and Mudd)—but without result, and I came home, weak, doubled with pain and despondent.

About this time my attention was called to the account of a remarkable cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People of locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and paralysis. I ordered some of the pills as an experiment. When I began to take them, the rheumatism had developed info a phase of paraldowii was cold warm. In my office

with his wand that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me. To verify the story beyond all question of doubt Mr. Woodson made affidavit to the above.
