Statement of Mr.. BENZ. H. Hearndon

Early in November, 1884, while sewing on the
machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in
her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and severe cough. Fever COM
menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and In
few weeks she was reduced to living skeleton.
The attending physician told me that he thought
one Of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not
retain tho most delicate nourishment on her stom'
ach. I then agreed with DR.. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call DR.. Holloway in consultation:
They rade final examination Of the patient and
pronounced the case hopeless. Dr.. Holloway then
suggested the Brewers Lung Restorer as last
resort. sent for bottle and gave her dose. I
found that she could retain it on her stomach, and
after about the third dose, began to notice some
improvement in her condition I continued the
medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about the house.
She is now in better health than she has enjoyed
for several years. believe the Lung Restorer
saved her life. We have family of six children,
some of them grown"

In Iowa the Fusion ticket con-
tanned the names of seven Demo-
ocratic and six Greenback Electors;
there is no way to distinguish the
ballots. but it is estimated that about
- 200 Butler votes were cast. In
Michigan tho Fusion vote was made
up Of | 1875 for Cleveland and Al :
600 for Butler. The Butler votes
given in the table are for the straight
ticket. In Missouri the Butler vote
was fused with the Republican and
can not be distinguished. In West
Virginia there were two Butler Elec-
tors on tho Blaine or Fusion ticket,
who ron about 500 ahead. The vote
given is that Of the straight tickets.
Cleveland's plurality is Ga ,GG2, in
an aggregate vote of 10.039, 1887, the
largest over polled. The increase
over the vote of 1880, however, is
only S2S, All, or about 8 per cent.
whereas the ratio OF increase in 1880
over 1876 was more than 81 per cent.
Tho total vote in 1850 wss 8, 2O4, 42S,
there being 307 ,306 votes for Weaver,
the Greenback candidate; 10, 3O5 for
Dow. Prohibitionist, and 707 scat
tering. 1t will be seen that Butler
has polled less than half the votes
given for Weaver four years ago,
and while the Prohibition vote has
increased by 14O,747, the whole of
tho I" side show" vote is less than it
was in 1880. 1t amounts to no more
than 2.S3 per cent. of the aggregates
against 3.5 per cent. four years ago.
In 1880 Hancock's vote was 4, Az
035; Garfeld's, 4, 449, O53.

Up In the Clouds.

A queer phase of human nature is
displayed ut Seattle for which it
would be difficult to find q counter
part in any other community. They
have SO persistently advocated the
interests OF that once thriving little
city. that they are eager to grapple
with anything whichseems to clash
with her prospects of continued
growth and property. In a CONVEX
sation with one of the prominent
citizens OF that place, a few days
ago, tho writer was anu sed as much
as surprised, at the earnestness with
which every object was combated
which conficted with her real or inn
aginary needs. White was black il
II affected Seattle, right was wrong if
It seemed likely to depress real es :
tate about "the hub" und facts
were swept away as workable cobwebs
when they did not suit the ideas of
those whose main occupation seem
TO be 10 boom town lots.
Such zeal is productive of good re-
suits. locally, SO long as it does not
conflict with the rights of other
communities. and until it creates an
antagonism which unites opposition.
When it does this, q reaction takes
place, and the community is bound
to suffer. The fear ia that Seattle is
about to commit this great mistake.
"Live and let live" should be the
guiding principls in oil public af-
fairs. People may live with their
heads in the clouds so long as they
do not trample on those who stand
in their pathway. But they must
remember that the interests of the
people. as whole, are para
mount; that other and diverse con.
victions may be as sincerely held as
their own, and regulate their con-
duct accordingly. No community
has a right to place check upon the
growth Of the whole country to sub
serve local objects, no matter under
what plea it is accomplished.
These reflections do not result
from any unkind feeling for our
neighboring city. but are simply the
impressions of one who views the
subject from comparatively disin-
terested standpoint.

Dame Moore made the acquaintance

Moore's care. A week afterward

supposed to be her own. As she
was weak and delicate Mrs. Moore

described as the first missionary con-
ference of medical students ever held
convened at the rooms of tho Young
Mems Christian Association yes,er-
day, 200 medical students being

object of the meeting was to give to
medical students information about

countries, and particularly in China
and Japan. DR.. Atterbury, medical
missionary at Peking, and for some
time in charge of the Ten Tsin hos
pital, spoke, and so did half dozen
returned missionaries. DR.. After
bury described the Chinese field by
saying that surgery was an unknown
art there. He said that no great
cash emoluments awaits the physi-
cisn who goes to China, but he will
have plenty of practice. Five stu
dents present said they were going
out as soon as they obtained diplo-
mas. The meeting was the out
