A HELPLESS FARMER
William Simpson Stricken with Paralysis Of
His Lower Limbs Caused BY 0verwork.
From the Ne,u Era, Greensburg, Ind.

Many Of our readers may remember an
item in this paper year ago last fall which
stated that Mr.. William Simpson, a well-to-
do farmer, living near Rugby, Ind, had been
stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs,
and his recovery was doubtful.
The case which was an unusually severe
and complicated one has at last been entirely
cured, to the utmost surprise and joy of Mr..
Simpson and his family.
Mr.. Simpson was pleased to relate to a
reporter the particulars regarding his case,
and his subsequent recovery.
"a year ago last fall" began Mr.. Stimp-
son, 81 did large amount of work. My
hired help left me in the middle of corn cut
ting and l finished the fall work myself,
doing an unusual large amount of work. I
put up several hundred shocks of fodder,
and also huslsed all my corn. To accom-.
plish this had to work early and late.
"About the first of December as was
getting my fall work about done, suffered a
stroke of paralysis, which the physician said
was brought on by excessive labor. My left
limb was entirely helpless and my right limb
was fast becoming so. My physician became
uneasy, and after attending upon me for a
week or so, he brought me a box of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying that
he believed they would do me more good than
them with great success in case very similar
to mine where all other remedies had failed.
The case in question was that of L.. Phillips,
of Petersville,

box Of these pills decided change was

been crossed by her majesty, who has re-
ceived the ancient stately homage from
her chief magistrate.
The lord mayor and the city officials. on
horseback, arrived ten minutes before the
queen was due, and very striking was
their appearance Sir Faudel-Phillips
wore the earl's robe to which lord mayors
are entitled when crowned heads visit
the city-a cloak of ruby silk velvet lined
with white silk and edged with ermine.
Sheriffs Richie and Rogers wore the sber-
ifs velvet court dress, scarlet gowns and
chains. The "Verye Goodbye sword,''
known as "Queen Elizabeth's pearl
sword" presented to the corporation by
the maiden queen at the opening OF
royal exchange A. d. 1910, was carried by
the lord mayor. The sword is three feet
eleven inches long. with fine Damascus
blade.
On the arrival OF the queen the lord
mayor uncovered. Approaching the car
riage of her majesty his lordship, with
all due obeisance, presented the hilt OF
the citys pearl sword, which was I'M
drawn. This was the ancient ceremony
of dutiful submission. The queen lightly
touched it. thus returning 1t to the lord
mayor, in token that his submission was
graciously accepted by his sovereign. Her
majesty then commanded the lord mayor
and sheriffs to proceed, and the procession
moved towards st. Paul's amid roars OF
cheers that seemed in the narrow street
to be echoed and reechoed.

Republican Senators Quarrel During
Its Consideration.
Washington, June 23.-An exciting
debate marked the consideration of the
wool schedule which began in the SEN
ate Tuesday. Itdeveloped the first seri-
GUS disagreement on the republican side
of the chamber and led to warm per-
sonal exchange between Senators Car
ter (Mont.) and Foraker CO., on one
hand, and Senator Allison Qa.), in
charge of the bill |, on the other. Senator
Foraker asserted that an agreement
concerning rates on certain woods was
being violated and that, under such cir
cumstances, every senator would be free
to act for himself. Senator Allison,
with great vehemence, declared that he
could not be driven by threats. Sem
ator Carter, who had aroused the storm,
endeavored to have the paragraphs re-
lating to carpet woods go over, with a
view to securing some united action,
but Senator Vest, in an ironical speech,
objected to delaying the era of pros
perity and postponing the public bust,
ness while republican senators held a
caucus. Senator Teller (Col.) also spoke
against delay and took occasion to say
he would not vote for the bill unless
Objectionable features were eliminated.
Aside from this stormy interruption,
fair progress was made on the wool
schedule. The duty on first-class wool
was agreed to at ten cents per pound
and on second-class wool II cents,
which is between the house and senate
rates in each case. The rates on third
class woods went over. Most of the
other amendments related to the classi-
fcation of woods. On one of the
amendments Senator Jones (Ark.)
spoke against the entire schedule az
severely oppressive on the consumers
