A Miracle in Missouri.
CRIPPLED AND BENT FOR TEN YEARS
WITH RHEUMATISM.
The Case Happened in Panama, Mo-, and
Is tho Wonder OF the State.
From ne Kansas CitV Zlnsce)


(From the Kansas C.ty ZiDscs)
For years one Of the best known men in
Bates and Vernon counties has oeen Mark
NJ Woodson, now postmaster at Panama.
and brother Of ex-State Inspector of Mines,
C. c. Woodson, of this city. The people OF
Rich Hill, where he formerly resided, and Of
his present home, remember well the bent
form, misshapen almost from the semblance
of man, which has painfully bowed its head
half to earth and labored snail-like across
the walks season after season, and when one
dav last month it Strengthened TO its full
height. threw away the heavy butt Of cane
which for years had been its only support
from total helpessness and walked erect,
firmly, unhesitaungly about the two cities,
people looked and wondered. The story OF
the remarkable case has became the marvel
Of the two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Wood
son told it TO a Times reporter, it Is here
published:
ain Isl the rheumatism started in my
right knee, and after a lingering illness Il
settled generally in my joints. / was finally
able to arise, but for the past five years could
only walk with the aid of crutches, and my
body was bent half toward the ground. I
went to the best dispensary in Kansas City,
where | was treated for six weeks, and with
out the slightest good. / then tried a strong
galvanc battery, with the same result.
then went to the City Hospital at st. Louis,
where the best physicians treated me-lin-
cluding Drs. Kale and Mudd)-but without
result, and came home, weak, doubled with
pain and respondent.
About this time my attention was called
h the account of remarkable cure by DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People Of loco
motor ataxia rheumatism and paralysis.
ordered some Of the pills as an experiment.
When / began 70 take them, the rheuma-
tism had developed into a phase Of paral.
ysis; my leg from the thigh down was cold
all the time and could not be kept warm. In
a short time was able TO attend TO my office
duties, and I could enjoy a sound and restiul
nights sleep, something / had not known
for ten years. To-day am practically, and
] firmly believe, permanently cured Of my
terrible and agonizing ailment. No magician
of the Far East ever wrought the miracle
with his wand that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
did for me.
To verify the story beyond all question Of
doubt Mr.. Woodson made affidavit to the
/ above.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this Sd
| day of March, 1894.
JOHN ID. MOORE Notary Public
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary TO give new life and rich
| ness TO the blood and restore shattered nerves.
| They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
| had by mail from Or. Williams Medicine
| Company, Schenectady, n. y, for 5Oc. per
box, or SIX boxes for $3.50.

upon. there can be none. A false step
would be worse than non-sction.
The negro poll assessment OF the Sixth,
Seventh and Ninth wards Is outraReously
padded and should not be accepted until
It is reduced to It's proper proportions
That there are fewer names on the Ninth
ward books than there were last year
does not alter the situation. Il merely
reduces the degree Of oifense, fer the fact
remains that there are still many names
on the books that should not be there
They should cone ,ff even ifa new
assessment has to be made. Il is merely
aqnestlon OF moda OF procedure on the
part OF the Levy Court
Assessor Whann hluts that he and
Patrick Neary lad an agreement as to
how the assessment should be made. We
cannot imagine how Assessor Whann can
possibly make Patrick Noary the scape-
goat for bis sins Of com mmlssion.
What had Patrick Neary to do with

Patrick Netry, and we have heard OF no
action upon the part Of the people which
could possibly bs deemed positive or
constructive delegation OF their powers
to klm Mr. Whann WAS elected by the
people to perform duties specifically out
lined by law. he solemnly pledged
himself TO make fair and i'm partial
assessment Of property and poll taxables
That be has not done 80 Is evident by his
books That be should be required to

Mr. Neary Is not known in the matter.
He Is not the assessor; he Is not the Levy

cannot possibly make hin responsible,

wouid-be White cappers.

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, Nov. 16. A
daring attempt at whitecapping oc.
Cured just below this city last night
and was luckily frustrated and the
would-be white cappers arrested and
safely landed in jail.
The names of the parties accused are
Frank Lawson, Lloyd Wolf, Luke Nc
Connell, Ellis Sans, and Richard Light
ner, that of their intended victim is
j. L. Fletcher, who resides near Blen-
nerhassett P. O., and on the o. R. R.
Saturday night bunch of withes
was left at Fletcher's house, accompan-
led by an anonymous note, stating
briefly that Fletcher must go to work
at once, or intimating that they, the
mysterious writer's of the note, would
return and use the withes upon his
(Fletcher's) back.
Last night, at about 10 o'clock, the
above named men, all of South Side
went to Fletcher's home, presuma bly,
with intent to carry out their threat of
the night before, if, as is strongly sus-
pected, they or one or more of them,
are the writers of the anonymous and
threatening notice of the night before.
One of them was armed with heavy
club, about three feet long and they
pounded on the door, nearly battering
it in, in their efforts to secure an en-
trance. Fletcher was badly frightened
and refused to open the door. Matters
were assuming a critical aspect, when,
fortunately, two of the Johnsons-
young men of that neighborhood, ap-
peared on the scene and proceeded to
take hand. They soon put the would
be white-cappers to flight.

Saturdays Portsmouth Times con-
tanned an interview with j. L. Larri-
bee, travelling passenger agent of the
b. & o. s. W., from which we take the
following, which will be news to many
people here: "Mr. Larribee further
said that numerous excursions would
be run next year to Blennerhassett
Island. The owner, Colonel Gordon, is
going to put half mile race track on
the island. He will enclose it and have
races spring and fall. In the summer
base ball will hold carnival in the
center portion and football will also
be a feature"
Reserved seats for Mascot" at the
Marietta Book Store, Tuesday morn
ing.
"A telegram was received Monday
from the Manager of the Ohio State
University football team at Columb bus
cancelling the game which was to have
been played with Marietta next Satur-
day. The home team and the root
ers" are much disappointed, as the
game was looked forward to with
great interest. The w. &c j. want to
play Marietta on the formers grounds
Saturday, but it is not yet definitely
settled whether the game will be
pulled off.
Monday afternoon there come to
this city from Parkersburg young
couple named Charles Taylor and
Laura VanMetre. The young lady was
but 16 years of age and the daughter of
d. s. VanMetre. After procuring a
marriage license the couple were
united in the holy bonds in the Office
of Probate Judge Rood by Squire 3.
E. Guyton.
Judge w. B. Loomis was at Park.
ersburg on business Monday.
Timothy Davis, the veteran fisher
man who passed through this city
few days ago trundling wheelbarrow
to Wheeling as the result of an elec-
tion bet, is better off financially than
he would have been had BRYAN been
elected. Upon his arrival at Wheeling
he was met by a big crowd who had
heard of his coming and was presented
with 500 in cold cash as memento of
the trip.
The Senior class of the College will
