How a DyingChild
Was Saved !!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co., IND, Sept, 10, 1851
The following is true account of what your
s. S. S. has done for our little daughter, Hazel,
now four years old. When 70 months old
lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew
larger. The family physician thought It was
caused by piece Of broken glass or needle,
but failed to bring anything to light. The
child became feebler all the time, seeming to
lose the use Of her leg, and finally quit walk.
ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb
OF eitherhand became enlarged, the flesh be-
coming hard. The hip joints became involv
ed, so that when seventeen months old she
could not stand, having lost the use of leg
and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also
followed. The nervous system was wrecked.
muscles contracted, and there was general
wasting Of flesh and muscle. At eighteen
months Of age she was placed under the
treatment of a prominent physician Of Bos.
ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she
had declined to such a degree that she was in
dying condition. This was in April, 1886
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
overpersuaded by friends to try lone bot
tie" of SwIFTs SPECIFIC which we did, and
for the better in her symptoms. We kept it
up, and have done so to this day, and will
keep 1t up, II the Lord wills, for many days
to come, for 1t has brought our dying Hazel
to life to vigor, to strength and health again
The ashen hue OF her cheeks has changed to
arosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere,
her languor and melancholy have passed
away, and she is now q blithe, cheerful, hap
Ply romping child. Should you wish to tn
crease your testimonials Of proof OF the
virtue Of S. S. S., our names and what we
have said is but portion OF what we owe to
you, should you wish to use them.
Kindly yours,

at is an open secret that Mrs
James Brown Potter and her manager,
Henry Clay Miner, never speak as they
pass by, and that all their business com
municatioDs take place through a third
party. The fact that Mrs. Potter is as
naughty and blue-blooded as they are
made, and that Mr.. Miner belongs to
the bowery and circus order of mana
gers, induces the belief that the photo
graph nuisance is a scheme of Miners
alone, and that it is the Potter's objec-
ton to 1t which causes the strained
relations. Let US hope it is SO. We
are both inclined to believe,that device

The only and original Tony Pastor is
out on the road again, and perhaps will
call at Salt Lake before long. He is
still the king of variety managers, as
the following extract from the Mirror
indicates:

company which Tony Pastor has just
take out for the annual tour. [ saw
the performance one night last week
with more pleasure than have ever
extracted from variety entertainment.
1t is clean and clever in every feature
Several of the new corners from Eng
land J. including the overwhelmingly
funny Little Itch, the delightful
singers and dancing acrobats, kevene
and Athos-are decidedly diyerting.
Mr.. Pastors new song, HAS Anyone
Seen My Mary Ann?" describing the
adventures of q society star, brings
down the house. The whole show is
original and amusing. and I'm sure its
road career will be one Of deserved
prosperity.
Carleton has struck it lucky at last,
in the choice of a popular and an ex-
pensive prims donna. Right glad we
are to chronicle it. He is so good a
fellow and so clever an artist, that it
has been painful many a time to have
to slate his company for its lack of q
strong leading woman. The New York
Herald announces that Carleton has
secured the "queen of the dudes" in the
following paragraph: miss Pauline
Hall, the star of the Casino, has been
engaged as prima donna for the Carle-
ton Opera Company, at salary of $500
per week. She will have preliminary
season here of ten weeks, and has
been offered an engagement of thirty
weeks to sing in all the large cities. All
her costumes will be furnished by her
manager. Miss Halls contract with the
Casino expires on May 1st."
Stephens and his hard working COM
pany have been only three weeks at
work on the Bohemian Gill and are now
up in nearly all the choruses to the
middle of the second act. By the LIST OF
May they expect to have the music COM
mitted to memory, and they will then
60 on the stage TO rehearse the dramatic
portions; the performance will &C m eoff
at the latter end of May or the 1st of
June. A strong acquisition to the COM
pany has been made in Mr.. Spencer,
who will play DeviIshoof. and Mr..
White, who enaots Florestan and has
charge of the stage business:
Lewis Morrison writes US from San

here ia produce it shortly. A tank
of wood and rubber, capable of
holding so 900 gallons of water,
is being built for the tour, and
the steam launch and rowing shells will
also be brought along. MIR. Morrison
depicts in glowins language the scene
in which a woman is seen drowning in
real water under the eyes of the audi
ence, and the hero swimming in real
water to her rescue, and says he is con-
fident Salt Lakers never saw so vivid a

The Royee-Lanslng troupe, a com
pany consisting of only four or five
people, gave a sort of parlor entertain
ment at the Theatre last evening, before
5000 or $500 audience. There is not
much in the show which deserves
critical notice, as it is small concern,
playing all the small Utah towns,
where. at half dollar head, it would
do good business and be warmly appre.
ciated. Some of the bell rim cling WIS
very good-in others of the selections
the sweet bells tangled very much out
of tune. The mandolin and banjo
playing was also quite clever, and Mr..
Moen's violin solo was passable for an
amateur. Some of the acting was quite
sad, from a city standpoint, but will 60

Mr. Smith said the first Wichita man

kept it up ever since. You have been
loyal and true to yourselves and you have
built city that is a credit to Kan sas. !"

He was glad that he had been introduced
as a farmer. THE farmers who have
farms have made Kansas great. They
have been making some complaints the
last two years that crops have not been
good, but We are going 70 have good crops
this year, and next year not farmer in
Kansas would remember that we had ever
had light crop in this state. Laugh
teri Kansas men never get discouraged.

state last summer and heard a couple
of colored men talking politics, one was
Republican and the other a mugwump.
They finally got TO talking about the
drouth The Republican said, now Jim
can tell you what caused this dry weather.
1t came about in this way. You see the
mugwumps and Democrats are running
this county and George William Curtis

country so near to he'll that the climate is
getting dryer and hotter all the time.
(Cheers} Another man up in the same
county sa id that the rains that were now
coming was due last summer, but that
they got entangled in these Democratic
mail routs and were just arriving Qaugh-

ity about Kansas people and that is they
never get discouraged. A man out near
the Colorado line in one of those new
counties last summer failed to raise
crop of corn. The stalks were
only about three feet long without even

length on the tariff question and also of
his service in the army. When he was
done speaking a number of old soldiers

Rubbing Off Rough Edges.

Some men, fond of reading and of a
scholarly turn of mind, make great mistake
in leading the exclusive lives they do. Every
man is better for associating with people,
and the wise man, while never ceasing to
love his books and studies, will find himself
wiser and his mind healthier if he goes forth
into the big world and, so to speak, gets next
to the great popular heart. When man as
sociates with his fellows, the rough edges Of
his nature are worn off, and a good deal Of
nonsense is knocked out of him.-P. 7. Bar
