She Was Cured by Drs. Smith and
McMulIen.

Little Mary, daughter of William Bruce, is sew
en- years of age, and was taken last January with
spasms. The spasms came on at first whenever
she fell asleep. During the night she would be
seized with violent commissions. The arms and
legs would straighten out and become stiff and
rigid Then they would contract and be drawn
tight TO the body. Her eyes were wide open dur.
ing spasm and turned upwards and outwards,
presenting most frghtful appearance. As often
as every hour during the night, or whenever she
fell asleep, her poor little body was warped and
twisted into all manner of shapes by these terri
Bile commissions Her mouth was filled with
saliva which caused a constant drooling, that
kept the clothing over her breast saturated from
morning till night After she had suffered in this
manner for period of six weeks she lost the use
of her right arm. One week later her left arm
and both legs became paralyZed and were power
less. She could neither move hand or foot and
was as helpless as an infant. She lay as helpless
as though she were dead. The most skillful ply
sicians were summoned, but were powerless to
even give her temporary relief She remained in
this most pitiable condition until the fifth day of
August, when her father carried her to Drs.
Smith and McMullen the magnetic physicians, at
the United States Hotel, who gave her careful
examination. and undertook to cure her. She re-
ceived twenty magnetic treatments and was
tu Gu Ouc mas udu no sign OF a SpaSm 1Or some
time and has perfect control of all of her limbs.
In short, she is well and happy. Her parents are
delighted and grateful, too for what the Doctors
did for little Mary. Any person reading this
statement who may think is not true, are invited
TO call on Drs Smith and McMulen, at the United
States Hotel, and they win give the exact post
Office address of William Bruce The Doctors are
regularly educated physicians and surgeons. II
there is doubt Of it in any persons mind call on
them and be convinced They may be consulted
free of charge at therparlors at the United States
Hotel, from a. m. until p. M daily. If you are
sick go and see them. 1t will cost you nothing to
go and talk 1t over with them. oct4dtf

NEW ADvERTIsEmRNTs.

The Portland lady who paid seven dollars
a yard in Boston for six yard piece of Louis
PHILIPPE XIV lace, saw the same thing in
our store yesterday marked five fifty, and
was frank enough to admit that she lost just
nine dollars by not buying her dress at home.
There isn't always that difference between
our prices and those Of other houses. but you
can invariably save little money on any
purchase made at our store, and then there
are no travelling expenses or express charges
to pay. That's worth thinking Of.
We have never before offered such an i'm
mense stock nor half so fine variety of high
class lace goods as this season, and every
pattern we show Is confined to us in Port
land, and will lot be seen elsewhere.
The new shades Of Nile, Coquelieot. Maize.
Shrimp and Imperial Green are shown in
Flounces Nets, Edges and Allovers in COM
plete sets Of matched patterns, besides black,
white and cream. In Chantilly Lace edges
we are offering an unusually choice selection
of widths and patterns at prices ranging
from six cents to six dollars a yard.
We have just opened one hundred and
thirteen new designs in Belgian Linen Laces
at much lower prices than ever before.

Talk about the embargo laid upon
Nebraska roads by the state board of
transportation! 1t is all moonshine.
The board is dead-letter, and the rail
road managers know as we'll as we do
that a majority OF its members are their
abject creatures. They merely keep
up the farce of schedule making an d
rate-reduction. General Leese and
Treasurer Willard are in the minority
whenever 1t comes to reduction of
rates. The next board will be no better.
The railroads have made sure of their
majority and entertain no tear Of serious
interference with their methods of doing
business.
The pretense that railroad building
has been stopped in Nebraska by reason
OF the threatened reduction of railroad
earnings is all for effect on the dupes
who are to be used in the present cam
paign to support railroad candidates
for the legislature. 1t is the same old
game played so many times on timid
Omaha business men and people who
want a subterfuge for selling out the
material interests of this city and state.
These are stubborn facts.
The merchants of Lincoln, who have
no such capital behind their backs as the
business men of Omaha, have aban doned
the time-serving policy. They have
quit paying tribute and boldly assum e
the aggressive. Their leading mer-
chants have forced the issue and turned
their political power to some account.
Instead of cringing and whining for
what they believe to be their rights
they demand fair play, and back their
mandate with all the influence at their
command. Their candidates for the
legislature are selected with one view
only, and that is to secure concessions
and appropriations for Lincoln.
Contrast that position with the lack
of self assertion on the part of Omaha
and her mercantile and manufacturing
classes. Omaha, with her senator and
congressman, with her twelve members
IN the legislature, her mi. lions OF bank
ing capital, and millions of jobbing
and manufacturing patronage, volun-
tarlly surrenders all her political power
to be used against her own interest and
for the special service of the giant COR
poration, which has repudiated its
sacred obligations to Omaha and re-
tarded her growth and prosperity by
the most selfish and short-sighted pol
icy.
Is it not about time for Omaha to
wake up and serve notice on the Union
Pacific that she will no longer remain
| a mere newer of wood and drawer OF
water, politically and commercially, for
that company.

appeal to induce their voting employees
to vote the republican ticket, may be
granted, but there is no intimidation
in this, and we venture TO say there
could not be found in the entire east u
dozen instances of employers who have
gone beyond this. Another thing, the
supporters OF the Mills bill have claimed
that most of the manufacturers in the
WOODEN industry and some in other in
dustries approved that measure. Are
these democratic manufacturers using
no influence with their employees in be-
half of their party?
If the workingmen Of the east are at
all like those of the west they are doing
their own thinking this year, and will
very generally do their own voting. The
intimidation charge is the weakest yet
sent out to country already surfeited
with democratic canards.
