The Old Reliable.

The Hawkeye Insurance Company, of
Des Moines, has been doing business in the
state of Iowa for considerably over quar-
ter of century. The people of Iowa have
known this company, and have had ample
tests of its fair and honorable manner of
doing business, and they know too of its
high standing among insurance institu-
tions. None are more reliable than this
old and substantial Iowa company.
Its first annual statement in 1866 showed
assets OF S2S.6l71 IA, which had increased in
January, 1895, to S15O.5Sl.56, each year
showing an increase of assets over the pre-
ceding year.
4 lit ENSURES property against fire, light.
ming, high winds, cyclones and tornadoes.
By prompt and fair adjustment and pay
ment of its losses it has secured the conf
dence of the public. Continuing as it does
under the wise and efficient management
of A. Howell president, and w. ID. Skin
ner, secretary, and other officers of long
experience in the insurance business, IL
will continue to maintain its enviable rep
utation as a safe and sound company, and
we can with confidence recommend all
those that have good property to insure to
patronize the Hawkeye Insurance Com
pany, and by getting policy in that COM
pany you will have the best.

PHYSICIANS ARE ASTOUNDED
BY A PECULIAR CASE.
A Young Man Stricken with Landry's
Paralysis and Yet Receivers.

From the Times, Philadelphia, Pa)
Stricken with Landrys Paralysis and
yet cured. That means but little to the
average layman but it means a miracle
to physician. Such is the rare expert
ence of Q. e. baltimore, of Madison,
N; J.
Paralysis" said Mr.. baltimore to a re-
porter, 'or else the most celebrated
physicians of London were mistaken.
1T was on the 18th of March, this
year." he continued, when I was in
New York City, that l first felt the
symptoms of my trouble. / experienced
difficulty in going upstairs, my legs
failing to support me. l consulted O.
physician, who informed me that 1 had
every symptom of Locomotor Ataxia,
but as the case developed he pro-
nounced it a case of Landry's Paralysis
and knowing the nature of the disease,
advised me TO start for my home and
friends. 1 gave up my work and on
April LIST started for London, Ont A
well-known physician was consulted,
but l grew rapidly worse and on Satur-
day. April Z, several eminent physicians
held consultation on my case and in
formed me that was at deaths door,
having but three to six days to live,
still fingered on, by this time complete
ly paralyzed, my hands and feet being
dead, 1 could hardly whisper my wants
and could only swallow liquids, and
death would really have been a welcome
visitor.
Now comes the part that has as
founded the physicians. Rev. Mr..
Gondy, clergyman who visited me in
my last hours, as he supposed, told me
OF the. marvellous cures of paralysis
that had been performed by DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. 1
started to take the pills about April %
and week after that felt an improve
ment in my condition. There was a
warm, tingling sensation in the limbs
that had been entirely dead and / soon
began to move my feet and hands, the
improvement continued until May 28,
when I was taken out of bed for drive
and drove the horse myself. By the
first of July / was able to walk
upstairs alone and paid visit to Mia

Slowly but surely I gained my old
health and strength leaving Ontario for
New York on Oct. IL and beginning
my work again on Oct 26, 1894. Cured
of Landry's Paralysis in eight months"
To confirm his story beyond doubt Mr..
baltimore made affidavit.

RoNDo'S HOUSE.


BuiIr I'm 1913, 1t still stands on sum
Preservation.
When Joseph Rondo. in the year
1913, erected cabin 14Xl6, of hewn
logs. filed in with adobe, on the clam
he had purchased three years previous
of Edward Phelan. he did not think
that he was erecting building that
in the year 1887 would stand within $50
feet of the handsomest street in st.
Paul-viZ.. Summit avenue, and that
would be passed daily by thousands of
people, unconscious of either its prox-
unity or its history. Yet such is the
fact. Numerous buildings in the city
have during the last six years been
designated us 1.-THE Oldest house i'm ST.
Paul, while this little structure, mod
estly shielded from an inquisitive pub
lie, maintained in silence its title
wrongfully bestowed upon other anti
quated and dilapidated houses. The
residents on Summit avenue, and par
ticularly those living in close proXim-
ity to Summit park, will undoubtedly
be surprised to learn that the house
rghtfully called 1.-THE Oldest house in
St Paul is located in that vicinity.
The building. rs already stated, was
built and and occupied by Joseph Ron
do in 1S43. and was his habitation, as
shown by official records. until 1856.
when he sold it and the four acres of
ground composing his demesne to the
late John Nicols. In 1856 Mr.. Nicols
n11 ~ ini
nal location to the eastern part of the
property, and erected in its stead the
substantial and commodious stone
building now known us the Nicols
homestead. Contrary to the usual
practice, Mr.. Nicols did not pull down
the old Rondo house, but rather pre-
served it by Incorporating it into
barn that was erected around and
above it. Recently it was the pleasure
of Globe reporter to dicover the old
relic, and. by the courtesy of John II.
Nicolsy who succeeded his father as
partner in the firm of \ coils & Dean,
have access to family documents that
establish beyond doubt the claims set
forth for the Rondo house. The mid
die door on the south side of the barn
opens directly into the old house, which,
except where the adobe has fallen out,
is in nearly rs good Il state of preserva-
ton as when erected. The timbers are
of oak, and plainly show the marks of
the AK with which they were hewed.
Those on the side are cross sectoned,
and all the intervening space around
the room, excepting the doors and the
windows, filled with adobe, composed
of broken limestone as the foundation,
cemented together W tn mortar. The
original roof, rs IN examination of the
hay NOW will show, has been removed
and the barn roof substituted therefor.
In this connection it may be well to
state when Mr.. Nicols purchased the
property, consisting at that time of
four acres, it was regarded by his
friends as foolish venture, several of
them predicting that sit would never
be worth the price paid for it 81, 2O0),
