A Strange Scene at the Old Plat eville
H tel Many Years Ago.

The return of DR. c. NJ Wood from
California to Platteville revives old
memories of years ago, and brings
wildly to mind some of the strange oc-
currences which took place at that time.
While operating at the Platteville House
then kept by G. d. Streeter, man
was brought from the country and
carried up stairs in a blanket and laid
on the floor in the middle of the operat-
ating room. He was suffering with
Inflammatory rheumatism. While the
men stood around wondering at what
would next be done DR. Wood put an
end to the suspense by STOPPING and
passing his hands several times from
the mans head to his feet, saving at
the conclusion. you can now arise and
walk. The astonished man did re di-
rectcd and walked down stairs followed
by the crowd who had gathered at the
entrance and up the stairway TO see il
the man was helped, and as he came
walking down the stairsthe sympathetic
spectators caught him up on their hands
and carried him aloft down the street
cheering for DR.. Wood. This man had
not walked in several months and re-
manned cured from that honr. Whether
DR.. Woods power lies in the strong
impression he makes upon the
brain of the patient. or, whether it is
as be claims force of magnetism
which emanates from his physical or
ganism thus curing disease. wiser ones
than must decide.
ONE Who WAS THERE.

PRoHIBITIoNIsT,

For the past several weeks the people
OF Sparta lived in state of continued
agitation owing to the nightly depreda-
tions Of supposed prowling tramps.
Vigilance committees were formed, and
suitable trees located for the entertain
ment of the first tramps caught within
the city limits. while about one-half the
population have slept upon their arms
with barred and boted doors, and the
other half patrolled the streets and al
leys in defense of their kitchens. chicken
cOops and barns. The city council met
and resolved upon stone pile for the
amusement Of tramps in the future.
The district attorney sworo that there
was law in the land, and the first va
grant captured would help to swell the
ranks of infamy behind the bars. AT
last public suspense ended The tramps
have been captured. The whole mys-
terry has become public, and the people
will sleep hereafter IN Dlissful security.
The desperadoes are proven to be
some half dozen city bellies, who, robed
in ragged trousers and dilapitated hats,
accompanied by a bass-voice dentist,
who did the vocal business for the par
ty, have been 'whooping it up" all over
the town of late.

THE COMING FAIR AT GALENA, ILL.
Another Grand Attraction Elsa Won Blumen,
the Lady Bieyclist, Secured by the
Managers.

The officers of the 10 Daviess County,
H., Agricultural Society are certainly
dong their utmost to insure the success
OF the fair this year, and it only remains
with the people to show by their pat
ronage and attendance whether their
exertlons are to be appreciated and their
most sanguine efforts realized. We have
already referred to the grand attractions
the management has secured for the
forthcoming exhibition IS such as the
band tournament, the trotting and rae
ing programme, and the Tennessee ex-
hibit under the direction of the commits
sioner of agriculture of that state, and to
cap the climax of their COM
mendable enterprise, we are authorized
to announce that they have engaged as
an additional feature of the fair of 1885.
the renowned bicycliene, Miss Elsa Won
Blumen, Americas first and only bicy-
clist, who will appear in her wonderful
feats, exhibitions and contests against
any and all trotting and running horses
that choose to enter the contest Num-
berless tributes have been awarded to
the beauty, physical grace, wonderful
skill and lady-like department of Miss
Won Blumen, and these endorsements
come from many distinguished persons,
leading newspapers, and other trust
worthy sources.
From very large number of press
and other notices, we take the following
from the New Orleans Times Democrat:
Miss Elsa Won Blumen, the little
Queen Bicyclist, has won many warm
friends and admirers among our best
families, and her racing at the fair
grounds, yesterday, drew the largest
crowd ever gathered on those grounds.
Miss Won Blumen received numerous
floral tributes from her lady audiences
great deal of interest was manifested
by all classes in the race between Miss
Elsa and the celebrated pacing horses,
Stella and Mary Wilson. At the close
of the last heat the little bicyclist came
flying under the wire fully two lengths
ahead of the horses, which brought forth
tremendous applause from the crowded
field and grand stands. All seemed de-
lighted, and expressed themselves high
ly pleased.
Remember the place and date of the

No Principle, No Success.

The fact that all the principal cities
Of Wisconsin have voted for low license,
Notwithstanding such papers as the
Milwaukee Sentinel and Madison Jour
nal urged high license, shows conclusive
~ that success can not be achieved at
The polls for any measure which is a
compromise or make-shift, and not one
Of clearly defined principle. Politicians
III theig conventions trim their sails by
laying aside principle and nominating a
German TO catch the German vote and
au lrislman TO catch the Irish, and one
side or the other will DO successful
when the people are permitted no choice
between one demagogue ticket aud
another Of the same kind. But when
any question, pure and simple, is sub
mitted TO the people, it must be a ques-
ton Oh Right and Wrong ii any enthu-
siasm is to be aroused As no song
was ever written or sung in favor of
slavery, so no song can be written and
Sung in favor of high license. The man
Who IS willing to compound felony is
even more detestable than the felon.
The man who advocates high license
for whisky-sclling, and none for the dry
goods business, simply announces him
selfa criminal. He pleads guilty to
compoundiug felony, which is crime
under the law. BY advocating license

A Cure that Astoaished the Doctors.

Mrs. c. X. Kirby, of Darlington,
Wis, a niece of Judge Ncggle, of
GAINESVILLE, was carried in chair up
stairs, at the Hotel in Darlington, in
1867, where was then operating. She
had not walked in three years, caused by
a complication of Female and Spinal
Diseases; and had been given up by the
best physicians in the west, and had
been twice treated six months at q time
at medical infirmaries, the last at Be-
lott, Wis, and at last returned to her
husband as incurabls. After thus be-
ing returned to her husband and three
little children, a hopeless cripple with
gloomy future to look forward to, was
consulted by Mr.. Kirby about her case,
and after hundreds of dollars had been
spent all to no purpose, | treated and
cured her in three operations by mag
netism alone. She walked after the
first treatment, and soon resumed her
household duties. DR. c. Nj. WOOD.

into SO many of our homes. II grown
up men are unable to decide in their
own minds the right from the wrong
in this matter, let them take their boy
of 5 or years upon their knee and try

From The DUBUQUE Times:

THE LAME MADE TO WALK-Saturday we were
called to see one of DIR. Woods (the magnetist)
patients, who, after being helpless cripple from
rheumatism for ten years, was made TO walk
The patients name was Charles Jocelyn, and re-
sides Al miles from Colesburg Several of his
neighbors accompanied him to the Doctors room,
and their testimony with that of the patient
went TO show that he could not locomote even
with crutches. but had to be carried about ike a
child. He walked erect, after the first sitting
with the Doctor not rapidly, but as one would be
expected to walk who had not used the muscles
OF his legs for ten years. The Doctor says he is
cured, and the PATIENTS hopeful.

The Most Astonishing Cure on Record.
Irene Drewin, of Hurricane Grove,
daughter of Mr.. Yedder, Il welI-known
citizen of Grant county, bad been on
crutches for nearly eight years, her right
knee being drawn up at the knee joint
to such an extent that she could not
touch her foot TO the floor. Pieces OF
bone had been taken out at different
times, leaving foot and ankle perfectly
useless, so much so that she could not
exercise single cold or muscle of the
foot. In this condition she applied to
me for relief, and after one operation of
five minutes she was enabled to walk
with perfect ease, without the use of her
crutches and without pain-a thing
which she could not have previously
done.
Fourteen years afterward the follow
ing was received from the mother:
LANCASTER June 49, 1sSs-I wish to give a
brief statement Ct the case OF my daughter who
was successfully treated by DR.. c. Nj. Wood, after
limbs. Her suffering at times was excruciating
causing many pieces Of bone to come out some
OF them over two inches long. Some OF the doc
tors said IL was fever sore; others. white swell
ing; and one said it was bone eryspelas. AT the
time she called on Dr. Wood at Lancaster Grant
county Wisconsin. she had been on crutehes for
quite a number of years. and the cords under
the knee were so contracted that it caused her
limb 10 be very crooked. | think the Doctor only
treated her four days, but the effect was acton
ishing. After the first operation she came down
the stairs from one OF the rooms above without
her clutches. and after the four days could
straighten her limb ont perfectly, and she has
never suffered any with it since. Her name st
that time was Mrs. Irene Druen, now Ward.
