Items Of Interest," Concerning mem

I the case OF MIS-. r Hart OF This CITY, who
I was taken to her sick bed some seven
/ weeks ago, and with Whatthe physicians
| called liberation Of the stomach. For
/ five weeks she was unable to keep even
/ the smallest particle Of food or water up
I on her stomach, or to secure 8 passage Of
/ the bowels, and was only able to live
amid her pain and suffering, by the in
/ lection Of morphine into portions Of her
stomach. A noted physician nom Kan
sss City was brought here, and cOnsulta-
I ton with other physicians had. He an
slyzed the urine, and each and all said
/ she must die, and that they could do
nothing that WOuld save her life, neither
could medicine furnish her any relief
With this belief, and having done all In
/ their power for her restoration, the fam
I lily could but accept their decision. Sun
/ day q young magnetic doctor from Wich-
| ita, put in an appearance, and going TO
some of his friends here, informed them
thatsome unknown factor had summoned
/ him here, telling him that he could do
| some good. After a consultation of some
time, the case Of Mrs. Hart was stated,
and he was taken to their residence He
/ is about twenty one years Ofags, and per
forms his cures simply by laying on of
I his hands, and without the uss of medi-
cine. AS soon as he saw the suffering
and dying woman, he said he could cure
her He sat down, and placing his hands
upon her stomach, renamed in that pO-
sitiOn for about an hour; a few hours
after, he returned andrepeated the oper-
alton, then retired from the house for
| the night. Before daylight, from his
/ treatment, nature had relieved the sick
woman of her sufferings, and she is now,
aside from g weakness incurred from
| seven weeks Of suffering and filing of
medicine, nearly as well as ever. The
case is q wonderful one, and shows what
magnetism and electricity will do when
medicine fails.
! Hattie Williams, whose foster father,
/ M. s. Williams, Of Udal, was convicted
| in a Winfield court a few weeks ago
/ for numerically beating her, and fined
500 and costs, again comes to the front.
/ She has filed suit in the district court
! for $4,000 damages and 1886 for labor.
| The 81, GOO Is demanded as remuneration
for the stern fact that said Williams did
"beat and pound said plaintiff with
| cubs, with his fists, kicked her with his
! feet, and produced and inflicted upon
| her back and head great gashes, wounds,
and Whelks; that by reason of said beat
/ Ing and pounding, plaintiffs spinal col
4 umn Is seriously and permanently af-
| fected and injured; that said defendants
| treatment of her for fifteen years past
/ has been the most shameful end out
rageOus, lnhicting indignity after indig
nifty upon her person by fOrCibly and
violently Outraging her person" She
is a young girl Of is.
Columbus Times: Two years ago the
Frepu Olicans of Dickinson county, Kansas,
nominated and elected Miss Alice NJ
| Junkin, as register of deeds of that coun-
/ ty. Her administration has been so ex-
| tremely satisfactory that the republicans
! gave her the unanimous nomination q
| couple of weeks since, and the democrats
have refused tOnOminate any one against
her. Harper county also has a very sue
cessful female county clerk. The most
| potent argument for WOuan's suffrage, is
the election of competent, honorable,
! lady-like women to fill important Offices
Miss Sallie Hutsell's successful admins
tration of the Office of county superin-
tendent has done much towards remOv-
ing long entertained prejudices against
| WOman's rights. The day OF equal suf-
frage Is daWning in great efulgence.
