WONDERS AND WONDERS
Hermann the Healer Astonishes n
Crowded Opera House.

To say that the throng which crowded
Fishers Opera House last evening, TO
witness the alleged cures Of Hermann
the Healer, was astonished is to put It
very mildly, for his wonder workings
caused men to cape in open-mouthed
amazement The hall was packed. de-
spite the downpour OF rain, and the au-
dience would not have been more sur
prised had the earth opened and swal-
lowed the hall.
Hermann the healer appeared after
Prof. Hall had made a few remarks.
He looks quite young. and as If he were
of a very nervous disposition. His fea-
lures show sympathy and kindness, and
he is OF excellent physique. Altogether
he is a real good specimen Of humanity.
The first case treated was Mr.. Richard
Lemon, one of the best known stevedores
in the Northwest Mr.. Lemon was suf
fering from rheumatism and kidney trou-
BILE. The wonderful Hermann stroked
his limbs and TO the astOnishment OF all,
Mr.. Lemon walked across the stage as
II he had never suffered from the dread
rheumatism. John Beckman. residing
at the North Pacific cannery, on Frank
lin avenue. East Astoria, who has been
suffering from rheumatism for years, and
Mrs. Hoeltz, OF Franklin avenue, East
Astoria. were both successfully treated
and walked unaided from the stage.
Judge c. A Mcclure, OF 5easide. a
sufferer from inhammatory rheumatism.
was next treated, and II ever there was
happy individual that nan vas the
Judge BY simply stroking his limbs,
Hermann put to flight the judges pains
and he was as happy as could be. Then,
TO demonstrate that he was not felgning,
Judge Mcclure actually danced a few
steps OF Jig with his erstwhile rheu-
matte limbs, The crowd went Wild with
enthusiasm.
Joseph Petty, well known In Astoria,
was carried upon the stage In a bed For
the past two years Petty has been lying
in the Sisters Hospital waiting for death
to relieve him Of his agony Professor
Hall stated that, as he did not know the
exact form Of the disease, he would be
compelled Of necessity 10 make a dag
nosis Of the case. However. Petty would
be afforded all the relief possible. His
suffering was awful to see. The man
rolled his head from side 20 side. which
told only too plainly Of the agony he
was enduring The healer stroked Pet
ty's limbs for several minutes and then,
for the first time In two long years, pain
left the sufferers body and n smile over
spread his features which brought tears
to the eyes Of the amazed onlookers:
though it was but smile II conveyed
the fact that. for the first time in years,
Pettys tortured body was without pain.
Petty will receive further treatment and,
II necessary, be taken, free Of charge, to
Portland, where the good healer will en-
deavor to restore the man 10 health.
The others treated were Chas. Stone,
of Warrenton, inflammato'y rheumatism;
Antoine Houva, same; Mrs. a. McGinnis,
118 Eighth street, city, hip disease: WI.
liam Humble 217 Seventeenth street, city;
and Mrs Smith, 687 Franklin avenue, and
all we're wholly or partially cured. Lack
Of space prevents giving the wonderful
performance Of this man The deserved
write-up. Those who were in attendance,
however will tell with wonder Of what
they have seen.
This afternoon Prof. Hall will lecture
to the ladies Of Astoria at Fishers Opera
House, and in the evening to men, both
lectures being free Of charge All should
attend.

cident today and tomorrow, where he
