FoRTY.SEVEN DAYS FAST.
A Remarkable Case is Reported From
Ohio. ....N

A prominent physician at Greenyille.. Ohio,
has Just made public case OF lasting at
Rossville, that eclipses all previous Efforts
eIther voluntary or otherwise, In that line.
On November 8 Mrs. Mary Bowman, aged
siyty-seyen, announced that she was not 60
inc 10 eat any more food. She took to her
bed, aud steadily remained there, never al
lowing morsel OF food to pass her lips for
forty-seven days, breaking the worlds rec
ord, it Is said, and making her the most In
terestlng case known to the medical profes'
sion. The lady Is widow.
Mrs. Bowman has been residing with her
brother, Mr.. William Hoblet. The family car
ried food to nrs. Bowman, and tried to H.
duce her and force her to partake, but she
refused. At last all efforts in this direction
were abandoned. On the forty-seventh day,
which was Christmas, the woman asked m for
something to eat, so half cracker and iit-
tle tea were at first allowed the patient, VINO
imbibed both with all apparent relish. Ihe
woman was reduced to almost q ske!eton,
but the dortors who examined her FOUND
that her temperature was about normal, as
we'll as her pulse. The only case that comes
anywhere near equaling this was that OF Dr.
Tanner, who, Of his own accord, tasted forty
days.

cHR1srs PRESENCE A PERENNIAL JOY.

Some of us think and say good deal about
"a sense of his presence" sometimes rejoic-

day long because we have it not; praying
for it and not always seeming to receive
what we ask; measuring our own position
and sometimes even that of others by 1t now

And all this April gloom and CLEAN instead
of summer glow because we are turning our

Asks for State Warehouses.

A movement has been commenced by the
farmers OF O'Brien County, Iowa, for the
passage by the next Legislature Of a law for
a system 'of grain warehouses throughout
the State. so that the farmers will be able to
store their crops whenever prices are so low
that they cannot be sold to advantage, OBJ
tain werehouse receipts for them, upon
needs, and so hold the crops until better
prices prevail. The advocates OF tho plan
contend thae such regulation Of the move
ment Of crops would prevent any great rush
at one TIME and the consequent sha.p fuetu-
atiops OF the market.

LEES CASE CONTINUED.
Justice Davis Fixes His Bail at a
Thousand Dollars.

Attorney Anderson yesterday asked
Justice Davis to continue the case of
George C. Lee until next Monday, and
FIX his bail at 5000 as he is a poor man.
Lee is the man who took shot at
John Mains near the depot on Monday
night.
Mr. Anderson said the crime charged
was a serious one, but as a matter OF
fact it was only a simple assault.
Justice Davis said he had been in
formed that Lee took a shot at a man
and expressed sorrow at not having
killed him. Mr.. Anderson said the first
was undoubtedly the fact, and as for
the last it was undoubtedly whisky that
was talking.
The court said that he should fix the
bail at 81 900, that being the lowest he
ever had fixed it in such a case. The
case then went over till next Monday.
