LIKE A MIRACLE
How a LoeOmotor Ataxia Sufferer
Was Cured.
From Me Egenlng Nelus, Detroit, Mica.

James Crockett, sturdy old Scotchman,
nving In Detroit Mich, at So Montcalml
Street, was asked about his wonderful cure.

which was burned at the docks. Then

Of the Straits and for years acted as her
chief engineer. j. Is great responsibility,
the position Of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces: Thousands of lives nre
held in the keeping of the engineer. The
anxiety causes great nervous strain, and
the strictest attention is necessary. Not for
q moment must he lose his watchiulness.
For fifteen years | carefully watched
the big engines and boilers without single

FRUSTRATED. had the best of physicians
l grew gradually worse, and at the council
of doctors, they said had nervous prostra-
ton, and had destroyed my whole nervous
system and would never be able to be up
again. They said had worn myself out by
the long nervous strain caused by watching
md worrying about the machinery For
three long years I was unable to move from
my bed without assistance. The doctor said
] had 1ocomotor ataxia, and would never be
able TO walk again.
"Thc pains and suffering I experienced
during those years are almost understandable.

Moreover, this method oblitcrates that

the care of these disagrccable animals

is that after long lactation it aids in
retaining in the butter-fat the volatile
flavoring oils that are largely lost from
the milk of cows as they approach the
time of parturition. A writer says all

butter from ''strippers" lacks the

WINTER TOUCHES ATLANTA
Ooldest September Period Expert
enced in 25 Years

Atlanta, Sept.27.-Cooler weather than
mas been known in September in sever
al years caused bright fires to blaze
merr1ly, overcoats to be brought out
ana coal wagons to make their appear
ance yesterday.
The day just passed was the coolest
september day Atlanta has experience
Last night beat all previous records for
cold, the mercury dropping as low as it
usually goes in December.
Cold winds greeted the early riser
and frosty, nipping feeling in the air
made one shiver, but that was but a
beginning. In the afternoon the ther-
mometer took downward direction,
and by 10 O'Clock last night overcoats
were Indispensable to those so unfortu-
nate as to be out of the house.
Fffty-six degrees above zero was the
lowest temperature registered before z
O'Clock last night. Within two hours
the temperature fell several degrees
and midnight it fell at least 10 de-
grees colder than at o'clock
Since the weather bureau was estab-
lished here, 20 years ago, the lowest
maximum temperatures for September
have been in 1885 and yesterday The
lowest minimum ever recorded were in
1889 and yesterday. AS both the lowest
minimum and maximum fell on yester-
day, it was the coolest September day
ever recorded in Atlanta.
The maximum for yesterday was not
quite 64- THIS thermometer registered
63.6, which was the lowest maximum
ever recorded for this particular day
1t will be colder today The Wash
ington bureau predicts fair weather for
interior Another drop like that of the
last two days will carry the weather to
the freezing point.

INVESTIGATE PULLMAN.
Chicago Authorities May Claim Juris-
diction Over Model Towns Streets

Chicago, Sept. 27.-The model town of
Pullman is about to receive attention at
the hands of the authorities of the
city
Commissioner McGann, head of the
public works department, has begun an
investigation on the street question,
and he is of the opinion that the city,
by reason of 20 years public occupancy,
has Jurisdiction over these streets. He
believes the city authorities have the
right to order streets improved with
any kind of pavement they may elect
and may also have the city water
mains placed under them. He also
wants to know by what authority the
company organized for the purpose of
building and operating palace cars
operates a gas plant and deals in it's
product
Mr.. McGann has sent to Corporation
Counsel Thornton for an opinion on all
of these subjects and there is good
ground for the belief that the city Of
ficials and the officials of the model
town will be engaged in a legal con-
test before a great while.

REPAIRLINCOLN MONUMENT
Measures and Governor Tanner
Favors Rebuilding,

Springfield, Sept. 27-The national
Lincoln monument at Oak Ridge ceme-
terry was inspected today by Governor
Tanner, Mayor Wheeler and a party of
city officials.
They found the monument in a de-
plOrable condition. The exterior stone
work gave evidence of imperfect con-
struction and the ravages of the ele-
mentS.
Great seams gaping in the walls re-
Vealed the course by which the rain
age.
Gov. Tanner was impressed with the
instability of the structural work and
the urgent necessity for a substantial
method of reconstruction. In the in
terror the supporting walls and arches
were found to be crumbling beneath the
weight of the structure. 1t was the
opinion of some of the party that the
walls on the east side were liable to
fall at any time.
In his speech Gov. Tanner expressed
the opinion that the monument should
be taken entirely down and rebuilt. He
thought the foundation should be much
better than the original, and that it
should rest upon the solid stones some
distance below the present foundation
The material could all be used again,
he said, but in rebuilding it would be
necessary to use heavy blocks of stone
for the corners in order to give the
walls greater Solidity.
This work could not be done in a
proper manner for a few thousand dol
lars, and nothing can be done until the
members of the Legislature have been
aroused to the gravity of the situation
and the Importance of making the
monument secure for the years to
come.
Then the governor announced that
he will recommend to the legislature
an appropriation of 100000 to take
down and rebuild the monument, and
expressed the belief that the work re
quired cannot be done as it should be
done for less than that amount
Referring to the appropriation of $780,
900 made by the 39th general assembly
for the repair of the monument and
building the custodian's home, Gov.
Tanner said the erection of the cottage
left but $26, 600 to be used on the monu-
ment, which was entirely insufficient
for the purpose.
This had been allowed to lapse into
the treasury, but if it was available he
would not use it in making temporary
repairs upon the monument. 1t would
be throwing away money, in his opln-
ion. to expend a small sum In that
way.
