had been found and cared for by a
miner. 1t seemed no dust could be de-
posted upon it. He made the beauti-
full remark, How odd, that our Heavenly
Father would place that green plant in
such dark dismal place and protect
it from its detrimental influences; if he
can do SO much for little flower why
can't he keep US from the contamination
of the world.
The miners average from $3.50 to
$500 per day. 1t is no uncommon

The AMIck TREATMENT.
Two PARTIES at Least in This Neighbor-
hood Using 1t.

The discovery of a remedy for con-
sumption by Prof. Amick of Cincinnati
has recently received considerable atten-
ton by the press of the United States,
though little has been said concerning it
for several weeks. The experiences re-
lated tending to show its efficacy have
generally been SO far away and so hard
to authenticate, that it has aroused but
little interest locally. A reporter has,
however, learned of two parties we'll
known in the city, who are now using
has affected them will be of direct in
terest. These are Mr.. I. 1. Burget and
Miss Jennie Steele, both of whom are
afflicted with consumption, that dread
disease which is responsible for one
seventh of the deaths from maladies of
the human kind.
Mr.. Burget has had consumption for
two years, and has been taking the
Amick remedy for about six weeks.
Though it is yet too early to designate it
fair test, Mr.. Burget's greatly i'm
proved condition in these several weeks
warrants the statement that it is bene-
fetal. He said today that he feels
stronger than for year, and since using
the medicine has had but one slight
hemorrhage. He has not lost any weight
and he believes that his lung capacity
has already increased.
Miss Jennie Steele was in the last
stage of consumption before she began
using this treatment, and there is no
hope of affecting cure in her case, but
the medicine has prolonged her life ane
made her existence more pleasurable
while living. She has been taking the
Amick treatment four months. At the
time she began it was believed she could
live but few days, and was SO weak
that she was confined to her bed, from
which it was believed she would never
arise. An improvement took place at
once, however, and soon after. she was
up around the house. But the seeds of
the disease were too deeply set to be
eradicated, and it is believed she cannot
permanently recover.
If Mr.. Burget regains his normal
health, an event which gives every
promise of being realized, the evidence
will be enough to convince nybody who
knows him that Prof. Amick is bene-
factor of the human race.

BUSINESS OF BAPTlsTs.
Proposition Observation-Disclosures Elect
ed--A Missionary for the Field.

The Baptist Missionary Board was in
regular session today. proposition to
cooperate with the Home Missionary
Society of New York was rejected, with
out argument.
The election of a representative and
alternate to attend the Southern Bap-
tist convention, which meets at Dallas,
Tex, in May, resulted in the selection
of the corresponding secretary of the
board, ]. E. Horn, of Haines for repre-
sentative and Rev. J. w. Oliver of Nc
Minnville for alternate.
A motion was made to place general
missionary in the field for the North
Pacific coast, and after an extended dis
cussion, it was unanimously carried.
The occasion of discussion related more
to the matter of funds than anything
else, some of the board being of the
opinion that the times were too hard to
justify the board going to this expense,
unless the individual employed was en-
thusiastic enough to take the field with
out guaranteed salary. The prevail
ing opinion, however, was that the
the usual payments, and it was so or
dered. To committee of three-Revs
]. E. Horn, J. w. Oliver and E. P.
Waltz-was referred the task of making
the selection. After prayer by Rev.
Woody the board adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman.
There were today, at the Baptist con-
vention, besides those mentioned yes
terday, Rev. ]. E. Horn, president of
the Board, of Haines, Rev. G. P. Bailey
