A Little Girls Escape.
A PALE, THIN GIRL BECOMES
ROSY AND PLUMP.
ct. Vitus' Dance Checked-A Loving
Daughter Saved.
lFrom NJ Kollgos Citu, 10, Journall

From the Kansas city, Mo-, Journal)
The following possesses an interest to the
Journal and its readers, because the case
is of grtat value from medical point of view,
and further because it is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
is that of the daughter Of L. L. Barbor OF
Edgerton, Kan, who being duly sworn on
oath depOses and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1898, nv daughter BERTHE, aged 10 years, be-
came afflicted with a nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it Sc
| riously interfered with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de-
velop into St. Vitus' dance. Ny daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news
paper Of wonderful cure of the same disease
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was ! impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the case.
| Receiving a reply which completely satisfied
| me, sent for box of the pills.
From the very first dose marked i'm
provement in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and excess
gively pale, as is common to sufferers from
| nervous diseases, anu n6f weight ndu ue-
creased to an alarming extent. After a
careful and thorough trial of the pills, she not
only began TO grow less nervous but also be-
gan to gain flesh.
1t is needless to say that ] was both sur
prised and delighted with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box Of the
pills She is a new girl, and all the symp-
toms Of her disease have disappeared. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have certainly wrought
wonderful and complete cure, and | can
say nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on a visit, something she
would not have thought of being able to do
three months ago From being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become strong.
healthy girl with no appearance of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou-
bles The pills have done wonders and |

disease (Signed) L. L. BARBoR.

JESS MIKES UP.

Our good friend, the senator from the
ninth district and collector of internal
revenues at the port of Brunswick, has
awoke from an extended nap, and, after
a silence of several weeks. again attempts,
as reply to some good-natured observa-
lions by TIE News, a defense of the
office.holders in their efforts to dictate
to the people in matters of public policy.
Judging from the temper of this last
letter from Senator and Collector Mercer
our timely comments upon the officious-
ness of some of Mr.. Cleveland's servants
touched Jess in a sore spot and rubbed
the skin the wrong way, and possibly
his long silence may be accounted for
upon the idea that he was waiting in
structions from Washington before writ
ing again.
THE News has no inclination to enter
upon a continued and acrimonious con-
troversy with friend of long standing
over an innocent paragraph that appear
ed in these columns as bitof pleasantly,
and. having discovered that our fellow
citizens who are enjoying uSufruct COM
ing from fat appointments can see nothing
sensible or good-humOred in anybody
who does not bow down before them and
their high muckamuck, we propose to
make the amende honorable to Jess by
expressing sorrow that he was not per
mitte1 by those rascally silver men to
take charge of that Morgan meeting and
speak that unspoken speech. The pent
up wisdom aud eloquence he has since
been carrying have proved terrible bur-
den to him, and we fear that had this pa
per not lent its kind offices and afforded
him medium through which to partially
unload the dear man could not have
stood under the strain.
1t may be true that none of the gentle
men who were at the said Morgan meet
ing demanding that the democratic plat
form be carried out by democratic officials
felt capable of going up against the
Calhoun Demonthonese> whose eloQuence
had been augmented and zeal increased
by two snug berths in as many Offices, in
| a speech making tournament. But that
is neither here nor there. What rights
have such Hessians as these old-fashiOn-
ed democrats, anyhow? And why should
not Jess have been allowed to get b DID of
the fullness of the trousers of those men
who were holding a meeting of their own
at Morgan and snatched them this way
and that way, and wipe up the ap-
proaches, the steps and finally the whole
hall with their limp and covering figures?
What right has any one, these days, to
think or act contrary to the wishes Of
our active and energetic office holders
and their masters?
Notwithstanding that jess is breaking
away from democratic moorings we still
feel a kindly interest in him, and insist
that, for his own dear sake, he hereafter
be allowed to speak when and where he
| pleases

RORSELESS CARRIAGES.

A new pattern and patent the Duryea
Horseless Carriage, we are told, may now
be seen any day on the streets Of Spring
field, Mass. 1t looks like rather heavily
built ordinary side bar buggy. They
can make twenty miles an hour with it.
A gasoline engine is used, Indeed two
engines, 50 if one gets out of order the
other can be used. BY the easy, simple
movement of a light lever the carriage
can be made to turn or back, 60 faster or
slower. This American horseles carriage
is said to be lighter, and in many ways is
an Improvement on those that have been
built in France. It predicted that this
new and as yet comparatively unknown
vehicle will do away with horses and
give US a new and far better and more
rapid mode of travel and transportation.
The world is indeed IN wing, and pos
sibly we may yet become familiar with
the horseless carriages as they move
along our streets and haul cotton t. Our
Dawson market. The latest report is that
Steinway, the big piano maker, is build
ing factory to manufacture the horse
less carriages, and will put them on the
market at no distant day. The world
moves and no mistake.

THE governor has refused to pardon
Lord Beresford, but has pardoned T. P.
Littleield, who was sentenced to life I'M
prisonment five years ago. Littlefe)d
killed his wife and man named Mccall.
Those who are familiar with the circum-
stances, and especially those who know
old man L tllefield, who WIS for long
time editor of the Jesup Sentinel, will
endorse the governor action in this case.
No man ever had greater provocation or
was brought face % face with state of
facts more revolving and exasperating
than Littlefed. He ought never to have
been sent to prison.
