Remarkable Effect of an Appeal to the
!: She Rises from Her Bed and Walks, Re-
stored to Health in an Instant
ToLoNo, Ills, June IA remarkable
faith-cure has just been performed at this
place, and Miss Jessie Crawford rejoices in
what appears to be miraculous deliverance
from death. Miss Crawford is % years old
and the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs
David Crawford, who are among the
wealthiest residents of Champaign
county Two years ago Miss Craw-
ford graduated from the Methodist
Episcopal college at Fort Wayne, Ind +,
and returned home sick Her illness as
sumsd dangerous character, but failed to
conquer her splendid constitution, and for
two long and weary years she fought OF
the grim monster. There appeared to be
absolutely no hope for her recovery. So
emaciated did she become that she resem-
bled more skeleton than live person
Every week of the two years it appeared as
if she could not survive the next Wealth
provided every comfort and luxury
loving friends rendered every service
in their power But careful nursing and
the most eminent medical skill failed to
rally the patient or to inspire any hope of
recovery. In this extremity the white
haired father de eided to put to severe and
practical test the faith which in his younger
days he had proclaimed from the pulpit,
and which since had been his comfort and
consolation He called in the good
Christian people Of the neighborhood and
told them that il ever pray rs were needed
they were then. They prayed-the father,
the mother, and the friends Prayers more
earnest than those which as ended from the
Crawford dwelling were seldom
uttered from human souls
In the midst Of their supplications Miss
Jessie arose from the bed, which for two
years she had not left alone, and stated that
she was we'll Then there was weeping for
Joy, and thanksgiving, and praises to the
Lord for His goodness and mercy. The
fever which had consumed her body and al.
most blotted out her very life was gone.
The awful pains which SO long had refused
to give her rest no longer racked the wasted
frame. The disease was banisned in an in
slant
To say that this wonderful cure has ex-
cited very widespread interest expresses IL
but mildly. The prominence of the family,
their undoubted intelligence, and the high
position which they occupy in church and
society, together with the entire helpless
ness Of any relief from human agencies,
make the case appear all the more wonder
full Miss Crawford appeared with the fam
lily at church Sunday morning, mere
shadow of her former self, but she declares
that she is well and believes that her cure is

CROPS IN THE NORTHWEST.

Considerable Damage from Drought Re
paired by Good Rains
ST PAUL, Mimi, June 1.-THE St Paul
Pioneer Press has crop reports from about
15Opoints in southern Minnesota and Dakota,
showing the condition up to Saturday
Eighty ger cent OF the reports showed con-
slderably damage from drought The
rain of Friday night in the north and
of Saturday night in the south have
materially changed the situation, putting
the crops in the north in excellent shape
and improving the situation in the south,
though in parts of southern Minnesota only
light crop can be hoped for with the
most favorable conditions Reports from
all points along the line of the Minneapolis
& St Louis railroad in Minnesota and
Dakota were very discouraging. Special
kilograms from Fort keogh and Bohemian,
NJ. T., report soaking rains, insuring good
grass crop
