Paralysis is Not Nerve Death, for II
is Durable.
From the Journal, Le,osston, Mich.

Patrick Doyle, a man more than seventy
years of age, called at this Office recently
and gave remarkable account. Everyone
knows the nature of paralysis and how
difficult it is to cure, so that his testimony
is extremely interesting. He said:
about six or seven years ago I was
afflicted with infiammatory rheumatism,
contracted while at work in Manistee
saw mill, and had to quit work on that ac-
count. Then came a long time of despair
for me-. Ny lower limbs became numb and
cold and 1 lost the use of them almost en-
tirely. For long time I was unable to
stand on my feet without support. For
four years 1 could not think of doing any
kind of work.
II treated with many eminent doctors
without deriving any benefit. spent more
than 500 in one summer for medical treat
ment which failed to help me. The local
doctors could not give me any encourage
ment, and, in fact, did not know what my
ailment was. l became tired of doctoring,
and for a year did nothing for my trouble,
considering that my case was hopeless. By
this time the life was gone out of my legs,
and could not bend them at all, the cords
being hard as bone. The cold occasioned
me great pain. I could not walk at night,
and when l moved around in the daytime L
then could only hobble along with the use
of cane.
'Hope had about gone out of my life
when l read in my local paper of persons
whom knew having been cured of similar
cases by DR.. Williams Pink Pills, so tried
them, and in short time could climb the
stairs with ease, a thing l could not before
do for years. did not give them a fair
trial, however, until year ago, and after
using few boxes, the life came into my
limbs and feet, and 1 was soon able to re-
sumo work 1 can now bend my legs and
straighten my back, which had not done
for years previous to the use of the pills.
consider myself completely cured, and give
the entire credit to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. 1 most cheerfully recommend them
to the use of all persons afflicted with sim
liar diseases. "
To confirm his story beyond all doubt Mr..
Doyle made the following affidavit:

Freedom Of The Press.

| The numerous renunciations OF
party nominations and political plat
forms recently by newspapers is the
best evidence that the American
press is broader in its scope and
freer in its advocacy of what it
thinks is right than any other pos
sible demonstration.
In the East anything but main
tenance of the present basis of cur
rency is looked upon and considered
detrimental to the general business
situation and the future prosperity
of the country.
In the West and South the popu-
lar sentiment is i'll favor of the coin
age of silver on the basis "I6 to l."
as the great key to future success
and Prosperity.
Newspapers in accord with the
best business sentiment of the COM
munities in which they are published
are forced by the present agitation
to stand on one side of the line or
the other, and acting on the best
judgment of the editors, boldly shake
off old political ties, if nessary, to
uphold principles which they think
are right.
Such free and independent press,
as the American press has always
shown itself to be, is the sefe bull
wark of American institutions and a
republican form of government that
our revolutionary forefathers aimed
to make it by guaranteeing it ur-
limited freedom.
In the light of great publicity, the
majority of the people vote with full
information on the great questions
of the day which would be impos-
sible were it not for the wide circu-
lation of newspapers.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!'
Fi1ferers, 9eware!

From the numerous complaints
throughout the country, we deem it
wisdom to utter word of warning
to a certain class of individuals, be-
fore some of them are laid low and
have to be placed in that long sleep
from "whence no man returneth"
until he shall come forth and stand
before the judgement seat of God,
to be judged by the works done in
the flesh, for every act, whether
good or evil, are recorded in the
books, for we read in the goth chap
ter and I2th verse of Revelations:
Sand l saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God;. and the
books were opened: and another
book was opened, which is the book
of life: and the dead were, judged
out of those things which were writ
ten in the books, according to their
works. Verse ISL And whosoever
was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire."
SO how necessary it is for each of
us to live in that way that we will
not be ashamed to stand before our
Heavenly father and receive the re-
ward we justly merit!
In this city, especially, there are
many who have been troubled fol
years by pilferers, or, if you please
in more plain language, a set O
thieves, who have visited melor
patches, orchards and vineyards, ant
have helped themselves to all the,
could eat, night after night and tim
after time,as though they had no re
gard for the rights of their fellov
man! And not only this, but nc
satisfied with stealing what they ca
make way with, they then destroy
large portion of what they have nc
stolen.

there is one satisfaction in this in.
stance the depredators are known
and if they visit the premises again
are liable to be caught.
The owners of these melon patch
es. orchards and vineyards have
borne this kind of treatment until
forbearance has ceased to be vir-
tue and they are now preparing to
have their rights, and it may be at
the expense of some the wilful dep
redator, unless they stop short.
When we lived in Provo, years
ago, we we'll remember the horrible
fate of a melon stealer. a hard
working, one armed man, had nice
melon patch and he had worked
hard to get it, and one day he saw
and heard a crowd planning to make
a raid on his melons that night and
so he prepared to give them a warm
reception. He loaded his shotgun
and lay ready for them, intending to
lame the depredators so he could
have them arrested and prosecuted.
Soon a crowd came, aud when they
got into the melon patch, he took
aim low down, so as to hit them in
the legs, but one poor boy who had
disobeyed his fathers kind counsel
mot to steal," was down on his
hands and knees, feeling for the
melons, and he received the shot in
his face and was instantly killed.
Well, to make long story short,
circumstances compelled the one
armed man to 60 to Priest. Brigham
Young, and after telling him the
circumstances of the case, Prest.
Young told the one armed man to
60 ahead and kill all the thieves.
We can tell you this case was a les
son to the balance of the thieves
that we're left, and it ought to be a
warning that the thieves in this vi
entity should heed, before some of
them are put qnietly to rest, in the
same way. We have been told that
Pfest. Young once said, eff you
catch a white man stealing, shoot
him; if you catch an Indian stealing
teach him better.
White folks know better than tC
take that which does not belong to
them, but the natives have been use
to stealing all their lives.
1t is no greater sin to knock {
man down and take the money GU
of his pocket than it is to 60 into
his orchard, vineyard, melon or corr
patch and pilfer the fruit or othe
products therefrom, for it is not you
property and you have no bushes
with it; and these thieving depreda
tors must cease, or suffer the bite
consequences!
| The good old book says. "Tho,
shalt not steal," and Gle that hat
stole, steal no more" and we sir
cerely hope that this word of warn
ing will be duly needed and not onl

He was a first-rate field hand, but he

Tony feared that he would be knocked
down to some professional slave broker,

the block he looked around and saw
one Of the wea1thiest men of the COM

GERMANY AND DUELING.

In the face of the civilization Of the
age, Germany has now refused to abol-
ish dueling. Laws are permitted to go
through that mildly protest against it,
but the Emperor and his court the dig
nitaries Of State, and even the judicial
Indeed, the Court of Honor" is said to
be superior to all other tribunals. If it
strikes a military officers name from it's
list because he fails to challenge or to
accept, the man is also striker from the
official roster by the army authorities
A Judge finding 1t to be his duty to rep
r1mand an offender is called out by the
latter, and the Court of Honor" decides
that he must fight to defend an opinion
given in his capacity as a judicial
officer.
The dueling debate has never had so
keen an edge as during recent days in
Germany. There are some brave souls
there who do not fear to do battle for
the abolition Of the tyranny of the code,
and they have so far prevailed that the
Reichstag on Saturday finally passed a
legislative resolution condemning duel
ing. But 1t was done with a reservation
of negation, and a distinct understand
ing that 1.-The code" will remain the su-
preme law Of the land as heretofore.
Germany, therefore, takes a backward
step deliberately and unhlushingly. She
confesses to all the world that she is not
as yet far enough up and out of the mid
die age tyranny and autocracy of the
code of chivalry to make the laws
superior to it.
Germany, a great and powerful ma
ton, publishes to all mankind that she,
of most civilized nations is the least ad-
vanced upon the plane that substitutes
law for the bludgeon, the courts for the
DEGREES of an irresponsible tribunal
without session or Judge; that puts
manliness to higher test than the turn
of the sword wrist; that holds justice to

EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES.
They Give One Sensation of Thick
ening in the Head.

One of the most injurious and danger
Gus of new fashions is the tea cigarette.
That this is no empty, baSeless story OF
a new craze is shown by the application
made last week to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue at Washington for
permission to manufacture tea cigar
cites in Michigan. The applicant was
told that, to engage in such manufact-
ure, he must comply with the law gov
erning the manufacture of tobacco
cigarettes, tea being a substitute for to-
bacco; that he must register, give
bonds, and SO on, and that the cigarettes
when made must be packed, stamped,
branded and labeled, exactly as the to-
bacco cigarettes, before the Govern
ment would sanction their removal from
the factory for sale
Several descriptions of the tea cigar
cite have been printed, but these have
erred in presuming that the tea was
taken as sold, rolled up in a paper and
smoked This would be practically i'm
possible, as the sharp edges of the tea
would cut the paper in all directions,
spoil the draught and render the cigar
cites unavoidable. To make the tea
cigarette one takes a grade of green tea
which has but little dust, being COM
posed of unbroken leaf, and dampens
it carefully, just enough to permit the
leaves to be unrolled without being
broken, and so as to be left pliable and
capable of being stuffed in the paper
cylinder, while the dampness is not suf-
ficient to stain the paper. The cigarettes
are laid aside for a few days, and are
then ready to be smoked
The feeling of a tea cigarette in the
mouth is peculiar. The taste is not so
disagreeable as might be supposed, but
the effect on the tyro is a sense of thick
ening in the head and disposition to
take hold of something or to sit down.
If the beginner quits then that settles
it; he will not try tea cigarettes again.
If, however, the smoker sits down and
tries a second cigarette, inhaling it
deeply, then the thickening feeling
passes, and is quickly succeeded by one
of intense exhilaration; the nerves
are stimulated until the smoker feels
like flying, skirt dancing or doing some
thing else entirely out of the common
way. This stage lasts as long as the
smoke continues, which is until the re-
action of the stomach sets in.
Words cannot describe the final effect
Of the tea cigarette. The agony of the
opium fiend is a shadow to that of the
nauseated victim of the tea cigarette
1t will be hours before food can be
looked at, yet the first step toward a
cure is a cup of tea. An hour afterward
comes the craving for the tea cigarette

WILL THE SUPERVISORS ACT MOVIE

The Board of Supervisors of Santa
Record Union" has been urging upon
the board of this county for now nearly
or quite two years, namely, to have all
dairy stock inspected and tested with
tuberculin to ascertain how far the milk
we use contains the seeds of consump-
ton and death.
In Santa Clara the test has been made
and large number of milk-giving cows
have been found to be infected. Under
the law it is the duty of the owners of
the animals to kill them, but they re-
fuse, and more than that, object to the
disposal of their property. whereupon.
under authority Of the State law, the
Supervisors have ordered the cows to
he killed, and they Will be dispatched
accordingly this week.
1t seems almost beyond the stretch
of belief that any man with one-tenth
OF heart, knowing his mich COWS to
be diseased, would still insist upon US
ing the animals as source Of milk sup
ply. But the example of Santa Clara
has proved that we probably have some
such in this county, for human nature is
here and everywhere pretty much the
same
Now then, as Santa Clara Valley
Is equally as healthful a valley for
horned stock as this; as the conditions
are not more favorable there than here
for the tuberculosis in cattle, why may
we not conclude that a considerable
percentage Of the milk-giving cows of
this county are of the order of those
who should be killed, that the lives of
human beings may be spared? 1t would
seem impossible, since Santa Clara, San
Francisco and San Joaquin Counties
have officially demonstrated the pres
ence Of tuberculosis among cows in
those sections, that our own Supervis-
crs can any longer hesitate to make the
necessary order for inspection.
