LEBANON, Ind, May 1S.-Oliver
Dyncoop, postmaster and proprietor
of general store at Gadsden, a small
station six miles east, on the Midland
road, left his wife and two small
children and stepped out last Mon
day with Miss Zoe Brant, q domestic
he had employed. Dyncoop had
gained a good reputation as an honest
and honorable man in the section in
which he lived until Miss Brant, who
is rather prepossessing, was employ
ed, when the report soon circulated
that they were too thick. A day or
so before their departure Mrs. Dyn-
coop caught them in each others en-

derson wholesale grocery house, and
his last quarterly settlement as post
master has not been made. Mrs.
Dyncoop is almost Frustrated over

Abandoning the Lymph.

Abandoning the Lymph.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May lS.-In all
the hospitals of the city the use OF the
Koch lymph for the cure of tubercu-
losis in man and cattle has been
practically discont inued. Where
there is no absolute discontinuance of
the toxic agent, it is only being expe-
rimented with in few select cases.
Even in these special cases the treat
ment of the lymph is becoming mar
rover and narrower in scope. Resi-
dent physicians of the hospital say
the fluid has proved to be of such
small value that, together with the
great danger attached to experiment
tation, there il no reasonable escape
from abandoning it.

HER LEG TURNED TO STONE
Remarkable Ahiiction of an Indiana
Woman

Remarkable Affiiction of an Indiana
Woman.
Special Correspondence of the Globe
Democtat.
LAFAYETTE, IND, July 25.- Their
is a marvellous case of petrification In
this city, the victim being Mrs. Char
lee De Voix, the wife of an employee.
in atile factory. Nearly two years
agoshe was taken ill. A slow fever
enfeebled her. Day by day she grew
weaker, and at the end of a month
she took to her bed and has never
been able to rise. But through it all
she has retained an excellent appetite
and eats heartily three times a day.
One morning about three months ago
she remarked to members of the fami-
ly that her right leg seemed heavier
than usual, but no heed was given
the statement until later in the day,
when she again complained of the
weight of the limb and asked that an
examination be made, her request
was granted. the limb was examined
by members of the family, and they
were startled at their discovery. The
toes, entire foot and the leg as far up
as the knee were as hard as stone,
q ID she was totally devoid OF heat
Efforts to M AXE indentures with their
fingers proved futile Repeated eX-
periments were made to test the sense
in the afflicted parts was entirely ab-
sent.
The family strove to keep the mat
ter quiet and until quite recently the
nearest neighbors knew nothing of
her strange Affections. A correspoD-
dent of the Globe-Democrat called
! at the house and true to the state
ment OF his informant found Mrs. De
Voix lying in her bed, and after some
difficulty succeeded in persuading the
| family to relate the details of her
ailmant. The fact was revealed, and
the correspondent was permitted to
make q personal Investigation, and
the condition of the limb was aston
Ishing. One might as well try tC
make an indenture in the hardest
| rock as to press the flesh downward
| with his fingers. 1t remains compile
tely solid and is as cold as the hard
| substance into which it has formed
| A parallel case has never been known
to any one here, or, perhaps in this
country. Since first discovered the
| petrification has not increased, but
I the family are fearful lest it should
extend to the vital parts of the body
and thus cause her death. She sutf
ers no pain in the limb, but its un'
atural weight causes no end of incon'
venience and besides is very unplea.
SAINT. Mrs De Voix and her husband
are French people.

The Tax Bill.

To the Editor OF the Press:
The newly proposed tax bill Is styled
reform smeasure. There Is just about as
much reform In 1t as was In the striped pig
formerly resorted to In Massachusetts to
evade prosecution under the:laws to promote
temperance. The true title should be an act
to encourage dishonesty andiiperjury and to
promote emigration and drive capital from
the state of Maine. Tho inducements 1t
holds out toIdishonest practices is In direct
antagonism to the prayer "lead US not into
temptation" and that alone Is sufficient to
condemn it.IUnder its operation honest men
would be placed at great disadvantage, and
dishonest men would. be multiplied dd in
fnttlm. Rather than submit to the inquisl-
torial features Of its provisions. compelling
every man to make public disclosure Of all
his private business affairs, many a man
would remove from the State and take up
his residence where private life Is protected
and respected. At best there Is a strong
temptation on the part Of most men to evade
taxation. To cheat the government out Of
its dues is by too many held to be perfectly
legitimate. The number OF such under this
bill would be increased immeasureably.
Better endure the Ills we must than fly to
those we know not Of" That there are in
equalities under our present system of
taxation no one disputes. The friends
OF the measure claim that under 1t
these would be remedled. But In this
they are laboring under a delusion.
The evils sought to be removed would
increase ten fold. Experience has Demon
strated this beyond question. The measure
would bear most heavily on our farmers and
mechanics who have laid by something from
the fruits OF industry for old age and rainy
day. Capitalists can take care OF themselves
any where, and under all circumstances.
Not so with the middliDg interest classes
constituting the bulk Of our population. The
effort of legislators should be to encourage
thrift, frugality, and honesty among our
people, especially those In the common walks
Of life. AS respects capitalists, they should
be encouraged to come to Maine. rather than
remove them from the State, The bill pro-
posed would prove more suicidal, than any
vet devised, and this under the plausible
plea OF reform. The principle Of the bill Is
false, for 1t assumes that our people are un-
willing 20 bear an equal share of taxation
unless driven by the lash OF government in
Quisitors. The imputatiOn, IL true, should
not be- .engrafted into legislation. III NOT
true, 1t Is a libel aud should not be published
TO the world. The principle of the bill is
false also lin that 1t seeks 10 make men
honest by legi- lation by tempting every tan
payer to become dishonest. The bill should
therefore, be rejected. ORsKRYFR.

MACHINE WORKED WELL.
Waterv'lIe Democrats Had Their Vic.
tory Assured Weeks Ago.


VAUDEVILLE, March 2. Organization
was triumphant over seeming indifference in
the city election today. The Democr attic
party had been well organized months before
the date of the election by some of the most
cunning Democratic leaders this state can
produce. Its organization is noted as the
most perfected in the state. and is cham
pioned by Hon. S. S. Brown, the great party
leader. They had as candidate for the office
of mayor DR.. K. l.. Jones. an expert party
manager and contriver. They had the
names of every voter whom they could de-
pend upon to vote their ticket, and weeks be-
forehand could tell pretty nearly what would
be the outcome of today's balloting. Touay
members of their party were continually
about the polls, and they brought out the
sick, lame and blind to use their suffrage In
electing DR.. Jones. What must have neces-
sarily been the resultP The Republicans
were, at the outset, discouraged to contend
for success In a city so unfairly divided into
wards for political purposes, and did little.
Every device, whether admissible or not,
had been employed by the Democrats to car.
~ the city, and the Republicans knew it,
Perhaps 1t was this confidence of defeat by
cunning that caused them to be so inactive
today. The election resulted In favor of DIR.
K. l. Jones for mayor by SO majority, and
the Democrats carried five out of the seven
wards,
