A SKEPTICAL GENTLEMAN

DIR. N. B. SHADE, 1892 14th st.
My dear sir: When / placed my wife un-
der your care six months ago I little
dreamed that you would effect such
wonderful cure as has been done in her
case.
My wife's father, brother, and sister hav-
ing died of the dread disease, consumption,
you can readily imagine we had little hope
especially after she was given up by two
specialists.
For months prior to taking your treatment
life had verify been burden to her, and well
do l remember the last walk we took to-
gether, just half a square, leaning heavily
on my arm and thoroughly exhausted.
She returned home, went to bed, where
she remained about two months.
Encouraged by interviews with people
whom you had cured, l sent her to you-you
know the rest. You have advised me to
have her lungs examined by any reliable
physician to test the cure. She has gained
twenty four pounds and she believes herself
to be in the best of health as pertains to her
lungs. Ifyou feel sodisposed use this letter
l trust suffering humanity may be the
better off by the statement I have made.
If any are inclined to be skeptical-as / was
send them to my wife. She will dspel
minds. Trusting you may be as successful
with all your patients as you have been with
my wife, remain very truly yours,

HARD TO MAKE A CASE.

Police Court Officials Doubtful OF the

it will be possible to make case of Grim

are brought into court. -.. ..,4

being made to secure evidence from West

District Attorney AIGlowney says that
the only evidence they have in the case so
far is the dummy black Jack and the state

inference. SO while there is no doubt
in his mind as to the guilt of the men, it

BATTLE OF THE ELKS.

Case at Cleveland

Case at Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., March 22-The cross
examination of George A Reynolds, who
was elected grand secretary at the At
lantic City convention OF Elks, was fin
ished to-day in the United States court,
and Z 3. Hay, OF Washington, the grand
exalted ruler, elected by the same fac
ton, was put on the stand
One OF the chief points of dispute to-day
was the removal of the trustees by the
former grand exalted ruler, Mr. ApperIy
The attorney for the Jamestown faction
showed, that according to the pTovi-
siOns of the constitution of the order, the
grand exalted ruler may remove elective
officers temporarily for cause AS trus-
tees are elective officers, they argued that
AppeTIy had authority to remove them,
which he did. He then appointed five
other trustees, who called the convention
at Jamestown
On this point it was held that the James
town convention was legal The attor-
neys for the Atlantic City faction brought
out other facts on this point They
showed that according to the laws of
New York, under which the order is
chartered. the trustees are intrusted with
the control OF the property and affairs Of
the order, and cannot he removed by
another officer of the order.
