How 3 D|yiingChild
Was Saved!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co., IND, Sept, 19, 1851
The following is true account of what your
s. s. S. has done for our little daughter, Hazel,
now four years old. When 10 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.

of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be-
coming hard. The hip joints became fnvolv-
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 degree thatshe 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
over-persuaded by friends to try zone bot

before 1t had all been taken we saw change
for the better in her symptoms. We keptit
up, and have done 80 to this day, and will
keep It 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 a blithe, cheerful. hap

WHAT rs THE sURPLUSY

Hon. John v. L. Findlay writes as follows to
the Baltimore American "The report OF the
Democratic majority of the Ways and Means
Committee, published to the country via Louis
vile, ahows that the surplus for the last fiscal
wear is, in round numbers, SIS, 100000, and that
for the current fiscal year it will be SSl 100000.
What becomes of the statements made officially
in the highest quarters that the surplus is any
where from 500, OO0, 900 to $4,000 ,OO01 There
is no subject in which the people are so deeply
interested as the finances of the country, or win
regard to which looseness and inaccuracy, to say
nothing of reckIessness and extravagance in state
ment, are more inexcuseable. Here is an immense
discrepancy of millions more than double the
whole annual expenditure of General Jackson's
frst administration, and, as one of the people,
would like to know which of the statements to
believe"

| MovING AGAINST ExFBNsI0N-LARGH AND EN-
THUsIAsTIo MEETING IN WAvERLY.--Waverly
| was alive on Tuesday night last on the occasion
of the first grand rally of those who are opposed
to city extension. After brilliant torch-light
| procession mass meeting was organized in Sin
clairs Hall in the presence of not less than 900
| taxpayers. Mr.. VIM. III. Oliver called the meet
ing to order, and the following officers were chosen
President, Albert Wilson; Independents, Isaac
S. Cate, r. s. Carswell, John Hunter, John Crys-
tai, Tilghman Schofeld, VIM. P. Westwoo ], Chas.
Hamilton, John M. Russell, DR.. r. G.. Rankin,
John Westwood, DR.. II. G.. PreDtiss, Henry Del
cher, Thomas Hart, ST., George Folks, j. +. Taft,
John Henry, J. Henning Jones and others; SEQ
retaries, Joseph J. Willis and Frederick Luckey.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. Wilson stated the
object of the meeting and spoke at some length on
the subject which is just now agitating the minds
of the people of the Belt. He said he had trav-
elled over a large portion of the United States
and had finally made his home in the Belt and
liked it better than any place he had ever lived.
He said he did not PROPOSE if he could help it, to
fall into the ravenous jaws of Baltimore city. His
remarks were we'll received and called forth fire.
quent applause.
The next speaker was Mr.. VIM. III. Cowan, also
a resident of the Belt, who entertained the meet
ing with some very pertinent remarks. He re-
ferred to those who were favoring annexation and
compared them to q man whose head had been Sc
vereIy cut and could only be healed by having
piece of gold applied to it, which had been done
by the city people.
Mr.. David S. Briscoe followed. He plainly
showed by facts and figures that the people of the
Belt received from the county full equivalent in
return for the taxes paid by them, and more than
the city could possibly give them under the extern
sion bill.
The meeting was very enthusiastic and the
speakers were frequently interrupted by applause.
A anti-extension club, composed of 2S9 members,
had been previously formed and will hereafter
meet weekly in Sinclair's Hall. The Waverly
Band was present and furnished excellent music.
The sentiment of Waverly is certainly against an
nexation.

The Whitman hay-bailing machine, at Mr..

This process enables small farmers, who have not

Mr.. VIM. McAbee and Miss Mel Royston were
married last week, and a happy couple they are.
When called upon by the serenaders Mrs. McAbee

the lot of man to draw two such prizes in the mat
rimonial lottery our popular friend has, and he
well deserves them. May their shadows never
grow less. o.

Mr.. DANIEL ON THE PROHIBITION AxENDHES

Mr.. DANIEL ON THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.
In an interview with a reporter of the Balh-
more Sun on the defeat of the prohibition amend
ment by the Legislature, Mr.. William Daniel
said: off it had passed, and the vote had been
taken at this time, there is a probability that
the vote of Baltimore city would have defeated
the measure, but with the growth of prohibition
sentiment, as it is now increasing, between this
and the election of 1889, with the presidential
election out of the way, there is probability
that it would have been carried. On account OF
nv representative position in the prohibition
party did not 90 to Annapolis to work for it, but
greatly desired its passage, and II 1t had passed
ed for il most diligently. I think its failure to
mass is great misfortune, but it will only stimu-
late us to greater exertions in the future on all
the lines of work, especially on the political line
The Legislature has passed some good measures.
Mr.. Daniel says prohibition is only question Of
time.

MANOR, 10rH DIsTRIcT.-The fine weather of the
last few days has started the plows in earnest, al
most every farmer of this vicinity being engaged
in turning over the sod preparatory to getting in
the Spring crops. The month of March was so
very rough that no blowing and very little farm
work of any kind could be done. The wheat in
tn is neighborhood is looking we'll.
Mr.. S. 7. Moore removed on Tuesday to his re-
Gently purchased store property at Scarborough.
Hartford county, where he will continue the bust
ness of store-keeping. He and his estimable
family will be greatly missed in the community,
Mr.. T. MelvaIe Pearce will hereafter conduct
the store at this place.
Mr.. John G. Snider has purchased at private
sale one hundred acres of the Hunt property, near
Corbett.
At the last meeting of the literary society it
was decided to close the meetings for the season
on May LIST. Owing to the great success which

of continuing it through the Summer. The ques-
ton, "Does pursuit afford more pleasure than
possession" was we'll argued on both sides the
judges deciding in favor of the latter. The sub
ject for debate at the next meeting is care men
more extravagsnt with pin money than women"
and will be discussed by three ladies and three
gentlemen. The new organ is quite an attraction
to the meetings. OBSERVER, JR.

A PRESENT THAT WE WILL APPRECIATE
Last week we made mention of the fact that among
the treasures of our Office. which was burned on
the morning of March 18th, were number of en-
cravings and other pictures which we could scarce
~ hope to replace. Among them was excellent
picture of Mr.. A. S. Abel, of the Baltimore Sun,
which, with the others, was priced highly. Since
then we have received the following letter which
explains itself and which, it is almost unnecessary
to say, is very highly appreciated:

GROWTH OF BIG Book.-When Webster's
Unabridged was FIRST published in one volume, it
was q comparatively small book. Some years
after, an addition was made of 1900 Pictorial Il
Illustrations, A Table of synonyms, and an Appen-
dix of New Words that had come into use.
few wears later came an entirely new revised edi-
ton ofarger size with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations,
then. after an interval Of few years, Biograph-
ical Dictionary of nearly 10000 Names, and
Supplement of nearly 5000 New Words were added,
and now there has come new and most valuable
addition, A Gazetteer of the World, of over $4,000
Titles. The work is now not only the Dictionary,
par excellence, but q Biographical Dictionary, q
Gazetteer of the World, and great many other
good things in its many valuable Tables.

DROPPED FINE CoLr.-A few day ago Mr.. E.
Cuttings Merryman's game little mare, "Kiss Me-
Quick" dropped fine horse colt-hcr first one
and both dam and foal are doing well. The colt
was sired by Gov. Bowie's Dickens" and ought
to be good one. This mareis we'll know through
out the State and has been wonderfully successful
on the turf. She is nearly IA years old and last
year she ran ten races, landing winner eight
times. As might be supposed, Mr.. Merryman is
very proud of his favorite and the best that "Hay-
fields" can afford is not too good for her. He has
named the colt after his friend, the late Harry
Harwood, who so often rode Kiss-Me- Quick" to
victory.

Came to Towscntown to show.
They banged away at small glass balls,
Thrown high into the air,

They found they were nowhere.
They had the hay seeds in their hair
The badge of all the grangers;
They know it all about the scraps"
But to shooting they are strangers.
They want to shoot again next month,
At pigeons made of clay;
Lord how the boys will knock 'em out,
In the same old-fashioned way.
