WHEN DOCTORS DIFFER
WHO SHALL DECIDED
History Of a Woman who Could not Walk for
Six Years.
From the Palladium, Richmond, Ind,

Miss T. E. Osborne is the name of young
lady living at 1875 North Seventeenth Street,
Richmond, Ind. She is the daughter of Mr..
William Osborne, one of the most prominent
horsemen i'll Eastern Indiana.
She told your reporter q most interesting
and remarkable story. 1t will interest physi-
clans as it was q most unusual case, and to the
various ones who treated her, diagnosed it diff
ferently.
None of the doctors, and tried all of
them" said Miss Osborne, "knew what was
the matter with me. Some said I had rheu-
matism, while others frankly admitted that
they did not know was at first taken with
pneumonia. One of my feet panied me al
most constantly, then the doctors pronounced
it rheumatism.
s.Gradually, but steadily, the trouble grew
volved and was utterly helpless. Then we
changed doctors. No relief came, and we
changed again. We tried nearly all of the
local physicians, and was taken away to the
baths. Nothing did me any apparent good,
and suffered very much.

were my people. My friends gave me up to
die, and the doctors, each one of whom at
first declared he could have me walking
soon, all declared that never could walk
again. had no longer any faith in any
doctor or any remedy"
Finally, after persistent effort her friends
induced her to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills,
but against her will for she was discouraged.
She says of the results:
Il noticed no change after taking the first
box or SO but they asked me to give the

Miss Osborne was repeatedly questioned a
to her opinion Of what cured her, and she has
often declared It to have been DIR. Williams

on the Stand.
Chicago, Oct. 6.-The end of the ia

than was thought. The defense on
nothing now to come but the rebuttal
evidence of the state and arguments of
the attorneys-probably about two
weeks in all. The state has so wit
nesses to place upon the stand, but
States Attorney Deneen said that in
most cases their evidence will be short,
and that he will get through with them
in n hurry. He expects to demolish
stories offered by the witnesses for the
defense that Mrs. Luetgert was seen
around Kenosha and Lake Zurich, Wis,
within few days after tie murder is
said to have been committed, and to
furnish other testimony that will in
a great measure hold up the side of the
prosecution.
The defense closed without allowing
the prisoner to take the witness stand
Until the very last the sausagemaker
urged and pleaded with his attorneys,
and it was with an ill grace that he
finally accepted Mr.. Vincent's advice
that really amounted to a command
and agreed to remain silent. The main
witness for the defense on Tuesday was
Mrs. Charles, wife of Luetgert's bust
ness partner Mrs. Charles denied that
one Of the rings found in the vat looked
like one Mrs. Luetgert used to wear,
but opposed to her testimony is that
of the missing woman's sister and
brother, who positively identified the
rings as Mrs. Luetgert's. One of them
bore her initials-"L. L.
AS the evidence in the famous trial
is now practically all In, an estimate
of the relative strength of the prosecu-
ton and the defense respectively is the
sole topic of discussion around the
criminal court building. The attorneys
on both sides are confident of success.
Luetgert believes that he will be ac-
quilted. The general belief, however,
is that the jury will disagree.

TO PROMOTE GOOD WILL.
National Frnternal Congress in ses-
sion mt Port Huron.

NaSAOusaA H OOn8Ee0B In SC8s
sion MT Port Huron.
Port Huron, Mich, Oct 6.-The an
nual session of the National Fraterna,
congress opened Tuesday in Society
hall. The congress is composed of
nearly 200 delegates appointed by
secret, benefit and assessment societies,
such as the Royal Arcanum, National
Union and Royal League, and repre-
sents about 40 such orders. Its pur-
pose is to discuss questions of mutual
interest to such organizations and to
promote good will and harmony be-
tween them. 1t has no legislative func.
tons, its decisions taking the form of
recommendations, which are reported
back by the delegates to the supreme
councils of their various bodies. AT the
same time. it exercises great influence
for good among fraternal organiza-
tions. The delegates will be handsome
ly entertaiscd by the secret orders of
the city.
Much complaint is heard regarding
recent decision of an Illinois court
to the effect that the burden of proving
whether member has paid his dues and
complied with other requirements of
the society's laws devolves upon the or
der. 1t is claimed that the ultimate
effect of such a decision if upheld, will
be to force the insurance orders out of
business in Illinois.
The congress represents 40 fraternal
organizations, which this year have a
benefit membership of 1,732,230, and
social membership of 4s,41o, making
total of 1,7sO,440. The Ancient Order
of United Worls1nen is the Oldest and
also has the most members. The Mac
cabees is second in point of member
ship, the Modern Woodmen of America,
third; the Royal Arcanum fourth and
the Independent Order of Foresters
fifth.
The opening session was occupied
chiefly in passing upon credentials and
admitting new orders to membership.
In the afternoon the president, j. G.
Johnson, encouragement of Kansas,
read his annual report. 1t dealt large
ly with subjects of legislation in the
various states and advised closer CO.
operation among the fraternities in or
der to procure more uniformity in leg
islation and guard against laws adj

week is on in full blast. The festivities
were begun officially Tuesday night
when Pallas Athene, followed by her
retinue. made her triumphal entry into
the city. Seventy thousand visitors,
together with as many more natives,
bade her welcome. It was one of the
greatest crowds ever drawn together
here and the event probably the most
brilliant. The grand parade, marking
the entry of Pallas and her priests, was
composed Of 20 gorgeous floats and 81
string bands. The floats represented
characters from the fairy tales of Hans
Christian Anderson, fairies and princes,
elyesand hobgoblins and all the choicest
spirits that inhabited the imagination
OF that Danish writer appearing in pro-
fusion. They were the creation of some
Of the best artistic and mechanical skill

full than any yet shown. The streets
over which the parade passed were fair

numbers by every train and the crowd
will undoubtedly surpass in numbers
