curabe by Others, but Who Have
Been Entirely Restored to
Health by the Famous Spe-
cialist. DIR. Turbin.
It'll an every day occurrence to read
in any advertisement that a young man
or woman of such and such place, has
been entirely cured by so and so, ETC.,
giving no name; or else to pick up
paper of six months or year ago and
another one of to-day and find the
same. face of one who has been re-
lieved or cured by one thing or other
by some ones treatment, ,etc. but there
are few who have the record and posi-
tive proofs of what they assert, as DR..
Turbin.
Miss Charlotte Abel, of Fond du Lac,
Wis, has been suffering for a number
of years, and had spent ever so much
money for doctors and medicine, but
to no avail. She was unable to eat any
thing, and for the past two wears lived
only on crackers and occasionally a
small piece of toast AS soon as she
would swallow anything, ,she:woud have
the most excruciating pain and in fact
was; almost constantly troubled with
more or less pains in the hypogastric
region and could not stand the least
touch or pressure, as her stomach was
too sensitive. She did not sleep well
but awoke every little while during the
night and had lost sixteen pounds
within the last two years.
Five weeks ago she came to DR.. Tur-
bins private hospital and underwent
an operation, and on the 22nd of
December returned home entirely re-
stored to health and to enjoy her
| future life. She sleeps well and eats
anything she feels like eating without
experiencing any i'll effects whatsoever,
and says she feels like having been
born again.
DR.. Turbin will be in Watertown,
Sunday and Monday, January 21 and

Obituary

Frank Chapman, of Clyman, met
with a sudden death last Thursday.
While eating dinner at Bulbs restaur-
ant on Third street, he strangled and
expired before a physician could be
summoned. Mr.. Chapman was an old
and we'll known resident of Clyman,
settling there in the early '4O's. He
was born IN Ireland, and was about so
years of age. He leaves wife and one
son, the latter residing in Milwaukee.
Lawrence Walsh, for many years a
resident Of Clyman, died Saturday at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.
Lyons, at Mitchell, South Dakota, aged
about IS years. 1t can with truth be
said that by his death good man, one
without an enemy in the world, and a
kind father has been called to his last
account. The remains were brought
to Clyman yesterday and the funeral
was held from Holy Assumption church
this morning.

o single one OF these Aexican pensioners
According TO unofficial report from the
war department. there we're f23 men pen
STONED under this act vho ssore that they
served in one regiment in the Mexican
war. and who, according 20 the war de-
partnent, were not entitled 70 pensions
because they did not serve sixty dsys and
were never outside Of the pIscs where they
enlisted
But no one has ever heard Of Secretary
Hoke Smith suspsnding single one OF
those pensions. And now IL Is proposed
20 increase oil Of these pensions With
more names On the Mexican pension rolls
by several thousand than there were
soldiers IN the American army in Mexico
no complains is ever heard from any Demo
crat or any Democratic newspaper about
Mexican pensions.
Bat there are less than one-half as many
pensioners on the rolls under the acts in
regard 10 the last war as there were men
who served in the Union army. This also
includes widows and orphans. And Jet
the Mexican war ended seventeen years
before the civil war.
In the meantime. while Secretary Hoks
Smith has been cutting OF the pensions OF
Union veterans by the tens Of thousands,
and has been rejecting four claims where
he allows one, the number Of Mexican
pensioners has increased.

THE SOUTH TAKES CARE OF Irs
OWN.

The house committee on pensions, of
which Mr.. Moses. of Georgia. is chairman.
and on which four other ex-Confederate
Democrats make mp the majority. agreed
ON the l5la nit. 10 increase the pensions OF
all survivors of the Mexican war from IS
TO Sc a month, and also TO increase the
pensions of ell survivors of Indian wars
now on the pension rolls. aud which may
hereafter be pensioned under existing
laws, 90 the same amount, st2 month.
The action Of this ex-Confederate ma
tority Of the committee on pensions is
easily understood. Nearly all the sur.
yiYofs Of the Mexican war now on the pen
sion rolls are ex-Conlederates. A Demo
cratic house. during Mr.. Cleveland's FIRST
administration. passed a bill 10 give
rervice pension 90 every man who enlisted
for the Mexican war and who served for
sixty days. no matter whether or not he
WAS ever within 1000 miles of battle
field.
As a matter OF fact two-thirds of the
Mexican pensioners never saw Mexico.
Mr. Cleveland promptly signed this serv-
ice pension ball. while At the same time
vetoing all bills designed to give pensions
10 Union veterans.

the dependent pension bill, which merely
provided for pension for unioa soldiers

which gave . pension 60 every man who
enlisted for the Mexican war. no matter
whether pauner or millionaire or able

How High Was Babei's rower1

Il
The exact date of the building of "Nim-
rods Folly" as the Chaldeans say in al
luding to the scriptural Tower of Babel
(the Armenians speak of il as the flower
of the Confusion of Tongues,') or the
height to which it penetrated the rarified
atmosphere of the oriental plains will,
perhaps, never be known. The date OF
the laying Of the foundation of the famous
structure is usually set at 2,247y years before
Christ, or in the year of the food 10i.
The expression of the sacred historian
that its top was 20 "reach unto the
heaven" is now generally set down as a
strong Hebrew phrase denoting very
lofty tower, but not necessarily meaning
one that would reach to the abiding place
OF the Lord and His hosts. Proof that
this is probable may DO found in several
places in holy writ. The walls OF the
cities of Canaan are described by Moses IN
similar phraseology. The spies sent out
BY him returned and reported that the
cities of that country were great and were
walled up TO heaven" See Deuteronomy
l., IS, and IL, l. There is q Jewish legend
recorded in the Talmud which tells us
that God did not put stop TO the building
of the tower until after 1t had reached
height of 10 600 fathoms, which Is equal to
nearly twelve English miles.
The sacred historians have not in
single instance left data upon which We
can base a calculation of its exact height
and general dimensions, and it is because
of this omission, no doubt, that the i'm
aginaiive orientals and other ancient
writers have given such fabulous and ex-
trayagant traditions concerning IL. Even
ST. Jerome alleges, from the testimony OF
eve witnesses. who claim to have seen and
examined the ruins of the sSy-scraping
shaft. that in his day (born 34o A. ID. it
was over four miles high. While consider
ing these untenabie notions 1t may not be
out Of place TO mention that other fancifuI
writer's make its height range all the way
from a single flrlong 70 5. 900 miles.

Some months ago an anonymous writer
In the Forum on '.The Science Of Municipal
Corruption" hit the nail exactly on the
head when be said:
ssThe most barren literature OF time
full of barren discussions 10 the Literature
Of closet philosophers who spin theories
20 reform municipal governments Munich
pal government 10 corrupt simply because
corrupt and corruptible men are elected 10
Office. Corrupt men are elected 20 ONCE
because Office pays and co-ruptible men
yield because they make money oy yield
ing II municipal governments had no
profitable contracts to award, Ii school
boards had no text books TO select, We
should have no municipal problem.
This robust thinker argues that city
governments are bad because officers are
corrupt and needy men without character
or reputation who are ready and anxious
to sell anything that corrupt rich men are
ready to bug. The trouble is not with
'.the system" ii is with these corrupt in
dlvidnals, and effective reform Is obtained
not by substituting one system for an
other. but by attacking and forcing cor
yupt men to apdicate.
Municipal reform can never be obtained
by attacking systems" while you spare
individuals who will be sure to make
corrupt crazy quilt OF any system" A
keen-witted correspondent of the New
