One Of the nst known men about the In
dianapolis Board of Trade is Carlos f. Shep-
ard, who for several years has been con-
nected with the house of III. e. Kinney, gram
broker. Mr.. Shepard is bluff, hearty, Old
gentleman of medium height, gray-headed
and with mustache like French veteran.
He is man of very decided views on all
subjects and is especially orthodox in poll
tics and medicine. Notwithstanding his firm
ness in his convictions and the vigor with
which he maintains them he is man of many
friends for manly men, even though some
times obstinate in their opinions, have the
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.
So few months ago when the news came
that Mr.. Shepard had received stroke of
paralysis and that the probabilities were that
his days of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep
est sympathy went out to the smitten man
and his family. 1t seemed to all his friends
almost impossible that this rugged old man,
always so whoesomely hearty and cheerful,
always a picture of health for
His CHEEkS WE'RE LIKE The hOSB
IN THE SNOW;
could have been so suddenly laid low. But
1t was true and many weeks passed before
his well.known form and kindly face re-
turned to his former business haunts. His
Temperance was made the occasion of
hearty welcome and the story of his illness
and recovery is well worth the telling.
81 was taken SICK" said Mr.. Shepard,
"on the 18th of August, 1895. As l had all
along been of the opinion that was made of
iron, you may well believe that ii was hard
for me to entertain the thought that was to
be laid up for more than day or two. l
am So years old, and for 40 years up to
the time Of this attack, had not had days
sickness. The doctors who diagnosed my
case saw at once that it was something seri-
GUS. They at first said that it was lumbago
then sciatic rheumatism. They finally
came to the conclusion they did not know
what was the matter with me. | expert
enced no pain, my head was clear, my ap-
petite good, but lost the use of myself from
my hips down. This was hard stroke
to an active man who has always had an
easy going pair Of legs. Ny brother-in-law,
who is physician, came from a neighbor-
ing city to see me- He pronounced my af-
Fiction to be locomotor ataxia. l am of the
opinion that he diagnosed the case correctly
for was absolutely paralyzed from the
hips down..
Before he came, however, a day or so be-
fore L had begun taking DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. That was on the Goth
day of last October. | read an article in the
Indianapolis Neacs and saw testimonials de-
scribing cases cured that were similar to
mine. 1t struck me that the remedy could
not do me any harm and began to take the
pills.
Before began taking them I could not
stir a peg, but had to be carried from place
to place. ! had not got far into the first box
when l felt that deliverance from my en-
forced inaction had come. Before finished
the second box l was able 70 walk alone

with the aid of cane. About home do
not use q cane now but when come out on
the slippery pavements feel that l need a
little support to make my footing sure.
Al am still using Williams Pink Pills,
but | have reduced the dose to one after
each meal. 1t seems that have been able
to throw some discredit on the predictions of
my doctors thanks to the pills. They said
could never walk again but here l am, and
think the credit must be given to the pills.
1t is said the pills are stimulating, but can
not say that they give me any sensations that
am aware of. They merely cure and that
is quite enough for me.

Pills. / suppose / have recommended them

time if it will help any sufferer to regain

Carlos f. Shepard has been a resident of
indianapolis for over twenty years. Helives
at No. 100 East Ohio Street. He has always
been an active, enterprising man and his
many friends will rejoice that he has liter

not only well-known locally but to grain
shippers all over Indiana and Illinois.

McKinley's administration is to be
marked by democratic simplicity
along its social lines, rs lie has so
decided Now, let's see. 1t is said
that Mckinley himself is poor
man. A number of poor men were
invited TO enter his cabinet, such MS
Sherman, Gage, Bliss, Alger and
Others. They told him very frankly
on their visits to the village OF Can
ton that they could not afford it, for
it has become necessary for cabinet
officer to entertain magniiicently in
Washington. He as frankly told
these gentlemen that he intended
that his administration should be
marked for its social simplicity, and
that the duty of entertaining on any
large scale should devolve upon one
member Of the cabinet, who was able
to afford it. For beginner, we
must say that the administration
started out well, indeed, for poor
men. The preparations for the in
augural ceremonies, or the first step
to social simplicity, cost the nation
far more than any preceding oc-
casjon

Now. it seems strange that n com
panv that aim to do something will
do this way. If they wish to build
this road and had my way would
say give them the right-of-way and
let them build it. But, if they ex-
poet the citizens OF Washington Go
to put up the money to build the
road, | think they will get left as we
are not able to do so. Why should
this company 90 to Oregon to get
their thinkers to build this road with
when we have ms fine tie and bridge

her could be run down the Weiser
river and stopped within SIX humid
red yards of the survey anywhere
from Council to Weiser. These
people want the citizens of this
county to give so much to build the
road but they 90 off to Oregon to
get their material to build with
am sure Oregon will not put up a
cent TO build this road There is lots
of men in this county who would be
glad to get Il contract to deliver tie-
along the road or any other kinds of
tlmbcrs We have as fine tamarack
and fir as any country for building
purposes, and why not give our citi-
zens II chance to make n few dollars
out of the business. This road, if
built, will run through our farms and
our lands and if they want right
f-way free why not give the people
of This county the preference when
we can furnish this material as cheap

be shipped from Oregon but think
it is useless to argue this question

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
One of Interest to All Knights of Py-
thiaS.

The Su preme Court of Mississippi
handed down an opinion Monday that
will be read with much interest by all
Knights Of Pythias. Mrs. Rosalle
Stems sued the Supreme Lodge for
s., 600, the amount OF insurance car
rled in this organization by her hus
band. Payment was refused on the
ground that Mr.. Stems had CO mmiJ-
ted suicide. He had first taken out
policy for So 00O but several years
later Increased II to S., 900 His first
policy did not contain an anti suicide
clause, but the second did. However,
the said suicide clause was made only
few days prior TO the time Stems
Increased his insurance and had never
been published, and the same had
been made by committee or board
of control and not by tie Supreme
Lodge. The court held that under its
charter the Supreme Lodge alone was
the legislative authority for its order
and that that the same could not be
delegated to committee or kuard OF
control. Therefore the lodge is liable
for the full amount of the policy, not
withstanding the anti-suicide clause.
