TRUE PHILANTHROPY.
What Charles II. HaCItley Has DonO
for Western Michigan.

The most beautiful spot in all this city Is
Inseparably associated with the name OF
Hackley Chas. H. Hackley has been IN
the lumber business here continuously since
1855 and in that time has amassed fortune
which gives him a rating among the wealthy
men Of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that Tightening OF the purse
strings which is generally marked charac-
teristic of wealthy men.
II Is no wonder then that the name Of
Charles H. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. His munifcencet to Muskegon alone
represents an outlay of nearly half million.
For the past twenty years he has been IL
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu-
matism also numbness Of the lower limbs,
SO much so that it has seriously interfered
with his pleasure in life, For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed to grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had Ill
youth.
To reporter for the News Mr.. Haclsley
explained the secret of this transformation,
'I have suffered for over 20 years." he said
"with pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief could get at nightwas
by putting cold water congresses on my
limbs. was bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains in my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, finally be-
came chronic. / made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief and
then fell back to my original state
couldn't sit still and my sufferings began to
make life look very blue. Two years ago
last September noticed an account OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that | was
interested, so / wrote to one who had given
a testimonial, an eminent professor Of music
in Canada The reply | received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and it
gave me faith in the medicine,
81 began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. It was two or three months be-
fore experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was Of
such long standing that did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved progressed, rapidly, however,
toward recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself perfectly well man. l
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to
health through the medium Of this wonder
full medicine. / can not say too much for
what it has done for me-"

elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams

The project OF the Nicaragua Canal

Changing Presiding Officers.
During the change OF presiding Of
fcers OF the senate Senator Scott offered
a resolution thanking Lieutenant Gov
ernor Daniels for the able and courte-
GUS manner in which he had presided and
assuring him that he carried with him
the respect and confidence OF the senate
and senators. This adopted unanimous
ly on a roll call vote In reply the pre-
siding officer said: "In laying down the
gavel, l fully realize that my official du-
ties could not have been as successfully
9ared for as the vote implies, had it not
been for the courtesy and kindness OF
the gentlemen present Thanking you
all again for your courtesy, I will retire."
Lieutenant Governor Troutman in
assuming his new duties, said; "On the
walls OF the old Roman senate hung the
maxim, Let what each senator feels re-
garding the republic appear on his
brow No man should be prescribed
for frank and manly avowal of his
opinions. The ruling spirit in politics
is a frank and honest conservatism. 1t
is no imputation On the judgment or
conscience Of statesman that he main
tains on the floor Of the senate what he
had formerly said on the stump, In the
discussion Of topics closely allied to par
ty platforms, liberahty and political
neutrality should govern the presiding
officer. He should recognize, not repub-
lican, not populist and not democrat,
but citizens of Kansas. 1 realize that I
will need constant aid and generous for
bearance in my new duties"

Tho Indians OF this county have Just

Aberdeen correspondent OF the Port

very unique, strikingly original and
distinctly Indian. II is known as the
Shaker religion. II Is said that it
first originated In tho sound country
among tho Mud Bay Indians. The
story is that ono OF the tribe,
John Slocum, va taken sick
and gradually wasted away and
died. Preparations were made for
the f,Veral. but John surprised his
friends by coming TO life again the
day the funeral was TO DO held. He
stated that he had gone to heaven,
but that he was told TO go back to
earth again and help his people; that
they were very wicked, and that he
must holp them. His recovery was

''An easy shave" Tho words come

our palcolithic ancestors began to

When Alma Venus behaved in tho
