The Remarkable Experience Of Post
Master Woodson, Of Panama,
Mo.-.Pcr Ten Years . Cripple
To-Day o Well And
Hearty Man.
From the Kansas City Tlmes,)

Inc people OF hlcn Hill, MO-, ana
vicinity have recently been startled
by a seeming miracle Of healing. For
years one OF the best known men in
Bates and Vernon counties has been
Mark N. Woodson, now postmaster
at Panama, and brother Of ex-State
Inspector Of Mines, G. G. Woodson, Of
this city. The people Of Rich Hill,
where he formerly resided, and Of his
present home, remember well the
bent form, misshapen almost from
the semblance Of man, which has
painfully bowed its head half to earth
and labored snail-like across the
walks season after season, and when
one day last month it Strengthened to
its full height, threw away the heavy
butt Of cane which for years had been
Its only support from total helpless
ness, and walked erect, firmly, unhesi-
tatingly about the two cities, people
looked and wondered. The story Of
the remarkable case has become the
marvel Of the two counties. Exactly
as Mr.. Woodson told it to q Times
reporter, 1t is here published:
"For ten years have suffered the
torments OF the damned and have
been a useless invalid; today | am a
well and hearty man, free from almost
every touch Of pain. | don't think
man ever suffered more acute and
constant agony than Ihave since 1884.
The rheumatism started then in my
right knee, and after weeks Of suffer-
ing in bed was at last relieved
sufficiently to arise, but 1t was only
to get about on crutches for five years,
the ailment having settled in the joint.
Despite constant treatment Of the
most eminent physicians the rheuma-
tism grew worse, and for the last four
years have been compelled to 20

In the winter Of 1S9O-9l, after the
rheumatism had settled into its most
chronic form, went to Kansas City

six weeks was treated in one Of the

Of that city, but without the slightest

city hospital. None Of them would
take my case with any hope Of afford
lug me more than temporary relief,
and SO came home, weak, doubled
with pain, helpless and despondent,

called to the account Of n remarkable

The remains were taken to Franklin

l.. E. Harrington of Jacksonville
visited this place last Saturday, COM
ing up on his bicycle. He started for
home late in the afternoon and when
near Torrance Finnegan's the tire on
his rear wheel exploded, making a
loud report. The rider was not
blown from his wheel, but he was
considerably shattered. By borrow
ing another wheel he reached home
in safety.
Mrs. r. L. Freeman and Mrs. Vernon
Jones and son Alger, accompanied
by Miss Frances Warner, left on Sat
urday for Montreal, Que, where they
intend to spend a few weeks. Mrs.
Freeman and Mrs. Jones will go from
there to Niagara Falls to remain for
week or so, and will then return to
their homes in Houston, Tex. During
their stay of about six weeks at the
Phoenix these ladies have made many
friends, all of whom hope to see them
here again.
The railroad officials have asked
for an extension of time for the re-
moval of the depot-they agreeing
to do the work next year. Col. Saw
yer, who has been at the head of the
movement for a removal, has been in
consultation with citizens and the
general opinion is that, while the
buildings ought to be moved at once,
no reasonable request from the Off
Gals should be denied and therefore
the public are willing to grant this
favor.
H. A. Barnard, ESQ, of Moline,
ILL.,, who was born on the Timothy
Terrill farm and spent his early boy
hood days here, was in town last
week. Mr.. Barnard has not been
here for fifty years and came to visit
the place of his birth. He is an ex-
tensive manufacturer of Touring mills
and elevators and reputed a mil
lionaire. AS an instance of how
Democratic times effect his business
would state that in 1892 his firm did
an 100000 business, employing
some 400 men, while in 1898 it went
below 100000, employing only
about 100 hands.

To-. N.-Aa

Given at the Y. M. G. A. Hall by Victor
Herbsrt Last Night.
The Victor Herbert concert at the
Young Mems Christian association hall
last evening deserved q much larger
audience, but those that were present
represented the musical culture of the
city. The first number on the pro,
gramme was concerto by Gotterman,
and but very few bars had been
played when all knsw that Mr..
Herbert was mastsrhand on the
cello. He was enthusiastically ap-
plauded, but did not respond to the
demand for an encore. His own com
position, "Berceuse. was n most beau
tisul number and warmly received. In
response to the applause after this
number he played most enhancing
aria. Mr.. Herbert closed the concert
with "Traumerer' by Schumann, and
"Tarantells" by Cossman, and those
who missed this opportunity Of hearing
him.lost rare treat.
The singing Of Miss Jean Slee was
highly enjoyed She possesses a voice
OF great power and sings with good of,
feet. Her first solo was 1.-The King Of
Thule" and in response to an encore
sang the familiar, but ever popular
s)ng, Daddy" In her rendition of
"Bsauty's Eyes" she was accompanied
at the cello by Mr.. Herbert Miss
Elbeth Winton displayed decided abil-
ity with the violin and she made a
most charming appearance on the plat
form. Under her delicate touch the
strings responded to the strokes of the
bow in beautiful melodies and bewitch
ing variations. Mrs B. 7. Jayne
sang THE Tempest" by Dudley Buck,
aud the Magic Song" by Vo2rlrk. On
the latter she was most delightfully."-
accompanied on the violin by Miss
Wipton. Miss Slice and Miss Winton
were presented during the evening
with bouquets of flowers. Professor
Kopff and Miss Clara Reynolds were
the accompanies and did excellent
work
The concert was given under the
auspices OF the Ladies Aid society OF
