IT WAS CAUSED BY NERVOUS AFFECTION
AND RENDERED ONE ARM LIFELESS.
From the Times, Paola, Kansas.

A happy family is that of Mr. James Nc
Kinney, of Hillsdale Kansas, on whom a
Times reporter recently called. His business
with these people was to learn the facts for his
paper of the cure of their thirteen-year-
daughter from a case of nervous prostration,
and the facts were learned from Mrs. McKin-
ney herself, who quickly told the following
story
''The first perceptible result of her extreme
nervousness apparent in a hating step of
the child in her right limb" said the mother,
land physician was called in to attend her.
No apparent change coming, another doctor
was called to attend her. She continued to
grow worse, although we thought the doctors
helped her, until she lost the use entirely of
her right arm, which hung listless and appar-
emily lifeless by her side.
"The physicians finally told u.s. continued
Mrs. Mckinney, ''that Mary would outgrow it
in time, but by accident my husband picked
up circular in his shop, which highly
recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, that we concluded to try them.
Mr.. Mckinney procured a box at Grimes
drug store in Paola, and we began by giving
Mary half pill at time, gradually increasing
to one pill at a time, and before had used

Col. John Z. McGraw. was the
orator on the occasion OF the cele-
bration of Decoration Day at Rom
ney, and several columns are most
deservedly given up to the publ
cation of his speech in the latest
issue of the Hampshire Review
We say deservedly because it is
rarely an address so eloquent in
itself, so replete with beautiful
thought, so adorned with happy
imagery and SO charged with sug-
gestive information finds its way
into public print. And. unlike
most speeches, which lose their
FIRE and sparkle when reduced to
the GOODNESS of type, this is scarce
ly less effective in the one form
than it must have been in the 9TH

what heights of patriotic fervor it

. Hon. jas. b. Menager.

We had intended to reply to the
unjust attack of the Wheeling
Intelligencer upon Hon.Jas. b. Me-
mayer, but the following from the
Huntington Advertiser, covers the
case, and we substitute it. The
Advertiser says:
''The Wheeling Intelligencer has
gone into series of fits on account
of Jim Menager having been chos-
en- Secretary of the provisional
committee of the National Silver
Repub licans, recently in session at
Chicago. It wants to know when
was Menager chosen as delegate
to represent the silver republicans
of West Virginia, and what right
he had to take upon himself such
grave responsibilities
''The Advertiser does not deem
it necessary to go into an extended
argument to show that Mr.. Menag-
or had the right to represent West
Virginia at the Chicago gathering
of the silver republicans. Suffice
it to say that Mr.. Manager merely
represented his own views up
on the money question at the
Chicago conference, but in doing
so he likewise represented the
views of every silver republican, as
we'll as every democrat in West
Virginia.
$50 well did he perform his
mission that he was given a posi-
sition of great honor and RESPONSE
bility. The Chicago gathering
was only conference and certain
ly Mr.. Menager, as any ether sill
yer Republican, had right to at
tend if he chose to do SO. In fact
it was eminently proper that he
should, for he had been consist
emit silver Republican for many
years. He advocated the cause
long before it was made an issue;
and when his party went over body
and soul to the dictates of Wall
Street, monopolies and trusts Jim
Menager had the manhood and
moral courage to Ecut loose and de-
clare his allegiance to the party of
Bryan, and that, too, when the In
telligencer had turned traitor to
the cause of the plain people, and
has since been rewarded for itsper-
fidy with ten thousand dollar job
under Mckinley. oh, no, Menager
is not one of the pirates who are
praying upon the business of the
country. He is all right and the
Intelligencer is all wrong.

He Talks Wen.

The Point Pleasant Register was
thirty-tive years old last week, with
Geo. w. Tippett, editor. The
Weekly has had for nearly three
years a companion in the Daily
Register, one of the brightest and
most sparkling little dailies in the
State. The Weekly is second to
no news gatherer in the State and
is fearless and free. He has bat
tied hard and long for the Demo-
cratic party-is deserving of its
richest gifts, but he is always cast
before the wave of political destruc-
ton and goes down to defeat with
out murmur. He is the most
fearless advocate of silver in West
Virginia. Could the heartless poll
itician only realize what poor
country editor encounters in his
daily and weekly toll, probably
they would be more merciful to the
men who form opinions and create
sentiment. 1t is useless for us to
say they are the least paid of earth's
servants serving time here never
theless it is a fact, if Bro. Tippett
would dare tell the truth, we'll wa
ger years subscription that he
would say he'd gone to rest on
many a winters night hungry, dur
ing his thirty-fve years service as
editor, in order that the people he
loved might have the news fresh
from the fountain of light and in

every Democratic editor, and we
