the opium evil has been increased and intensi-

LONG BEACH MUSICALE.
A CORRESPONDENT TELLS OF THE
RESTORATION OF VOICE.
Her Speech Restored and Injuries to
Her Spine Cured in Supposed Con-
sequence OF Prayer-She Is
Not Faiuhcurist.

The HERALD recently published al
account of the restoration of speech
through prayer to Miss Lightburn OF
Long Beach. A correspondent at that
place sends the following regarding the
matter. 1t may be remembered that
Miss Lightburn and Miss Cuthbert were
praying together, when suddenly the
former. who had been speechless for
nearly two years, had her voice restored
and exclaimed in loud tones. "Thank
God" The correspondent writes as fol-
lows:
in confirmation of the wonderful resto.
ration of Miss Lightburn's voice while
che and Miss Georgia Cuthbert were
offering up petitions to the throne of
grace, having that object in view, your
correspondent would state that he be-
came acquainted with that young lady
last May, and knows for a certainty that
she could not speak above a whisper
until the night of the miraculous cure.
She vas also suffering from an injury to
her spine caused by fall on railroad
track. Her voice suddenly left her at
the commencement exercises OF school
in which she taught at Anthony, Kan !,
some 19 months ago, and from that
time up until last Monday evening she
was unable to speak above whisper
and at times with much effort.
She came to California last July one
year ago in hopes our glorious climate
would afford relief, and went to River
side, when not finding any Improvement
she came to Long Beach last May, and
made her home with the family of DR..
Cuthbert. Upon arising from their
prayers she not only had her long lost
voice, but every pain and ache had left
her back. and she is now in perfect
health. The writer has been &C.
quainted with the young lady ever since
she has been here and can vouch for the
truth of the above as far as her voice is
concerned and her greatly improved ap.
pearance in general.
Neither Miss Lightburn or Miss Cuth-
bert are believers in the doctrines of So
called Christian science, neither are
they faith curists in the common accep
tytion of that term. Miss Lightburn il
member of the Presbyterian and Miss
; Cuthbert a member of the Methods

: tured, intellectual young ladies who are
admired and respected by all down here
thorough Christians, devoted to doin
. good and who ascribe the glory of tn
wonderful cure to God and to Coz
:, only. Nearly everyone here has know

Tho Hack Drivers and Expressn

The Hack Drivers and Expressmen In
Politics.
The Hack and Express association had
rousing meeting last night, w. E.
Christie in the chair, Charles Rustler,
secretary.
B. G. Holmes was the leading speaker,
who commended Mr.. T. E. Rowan as
the man for mayor, cited his long years
OF honorable service in public Office in
this city, and claimed he was the best
friend of the poor man before the people
in the present contest. He referred to
Mr.. Tufts as the carpet bag statesman
from Iowa, who eignalized his advent
into Office by organizing crusade
against the working force OF street,
police and fire department, reducing
the force in numbers and also in pay,
not even sparing the unfortunate school
marms, taking good care, how
ever, not to reduce his own
salary; belonging to class OF legis-
lators who lie awake nights to devise
schemes to grind the face of the poor,
to enact laws to give the wealthy q
chance to get greater returns from
smaller wages. Coming here from some
prairie town, where the people wade on
foot through the mud and dust to the
depot and trundle their trunks down on
wheelharrow, he conceived the idea
that hacks and express wagons were a
nuisance on the principal streets OF the
city and had to go, and in spite Of de-
termined fight they did go. Mr.. Holmes
urged every one to work with energy

sell the products of their own toll, is
turned over to boards of organized
gamblers. The money of the country.

depends, is given into the hands OF
banking corporations, while the in

Marketing WI cat.

Tho morning IaicrS of October q
contain Chicago dispatch relative to
the unusual sale of wheat by farmers
this year 50 early in the season. The
dispatch says:
farmers should be in such haste to
market their wheat with prices almost
the lowest on record.
There is no doubt that it is difficult
for those whose partisan blindness pre-
vents them from seeing the conditions
that surround them, to understand
why farmers should be in such haste
to market their products. To any per-
son who has made any effort to study
the conditions, not only of farmers but
Of all other classes of people except
money lenders and those who have fix
el incomes, the problem is not at all
difficult.
1t matters not to the farmer what
prices may be, whether hig:l or low.
when he has anything to sell he is
forced to sell it to pay taxes and inter
! est. and to supply the family with the
absolute necessities of life. The wife
and children have to be clothed and
prepared for winter, and if the taxes
and interest are no. pail, the home
must b, given up. These are the
reasons why, rs the dispatch says, the
| farmers Of America have "before four
| months is ended, sold fully half of
their surplus wheat. and they have
sold it at almost the lowest price on
! record"
There is no mystery about this mat
ter except to those who through party
| bigotry and superstition are prevented
! from making any investigation OF
economic conditions
