BOUND FOR KLONDYKE.
s. 8. B~lankenship, Of Youngs Greek,
Leaves Tonight at II O'clock
for Tacoma, Wash.

On last Tuesday night s. 8. Blank
enship left for Tacoma, WASH,
where he will probably spend the win
ter with Fenley Bryan and in the early
spring. leave for the Klondyke gold
fields, where he hopes to pan ont
enough gold to come back to Mexico
and buy the piece of county property
situated in the middle oftown and use
it as a residence lot. May fortune ia
vor HIM to the best of her excellent
ability.
Mr.. Blankenship talked to a LEDGER
reporter that afternoon and is very en-
thusIastic on the subject. He is a
hardy, stout looking man and has done
considerable "roughing it" in the
mountains of California. He is a
widower without children and Is 81
years of age. He ia a son of s. Blank
enship, now deceased, who lived near
Youngs Creek post office, this county.
Mr.. Blankenship has done some fig
uring on the matter of cost for the
trip and says that he thinks he car get
through, with ample provisions for a
year, on 500. He has not fully decid-
ed upon the exact point on the Klon-
dyke to which he will 60, nor the
route which he will take to reach it,
He thinks the best way to decide this
is to wait until he reaches Tacoma an6
then talk with men who have made
the trip.
Mr.. ~Blankensh1p will leave the
northwestern coast fully equipped fol
field work. With the true BlankenshiI
blood in him the Audrain gold seeker
will reach the goal and if there is an!
gold there will bring back his share
Here is the best wish of the LEDGEI
for his success.

And the Lame to
Walk.
Nothing Like it Was
Ever Seen in Mex
leo Before.

DIR. Potter and staff, from the Medi-
cal Institutes of Philadelphia, Pa, and
Charlottesville, Iud., lectured to al
large audience last night.
The Doctors are graceful and forci-
BILE speakers, and held the large audi
ence in closest attention while they
explained the theory and usefulness
of their wonderful discoveries. Many
promises we're made which seemed
impossible to believe, but when the
Doctors invited those who yer hard
of hearing to come forward and be
cured, Henry Wright, Hamilton Hall
and Mr.. GoodalI came upon the stage
and were made to hear a whisper in a
few seconds.
The Doctors then called for the Grip
piles on crutches and Thomas Pagan,
who had his limb broken three years
ago, responded. Mr.. Pagan has been
suffering for three years with that
giant disease, RHEUMATISM, and
was unable to walk except on crutches
and with great pain and stiffness. He
was operated on with medicine fol
twenty minutes, and he walked OF
free from pain and stiffness, followed
by the applauding and wondering
crowd, whilst the Doctors broke hi
c~rutches.
To say that the vast audience wa
~astonished and wild would be putting
it mildly. The Doctors were warml
congratulated. 1t seems like a dream
Init il ia real. Ministers and Doctor
were In the audience, and seemed
much pleased as any.

diseases: Big Neck, Bladder an

The Body of Col. w. L. Lakewood
Laid to Rest in the Mexico Gene
terry Yesterday Afternoon
"A Noble Man.

The body of Col. w. L. Gatewood
arrived In this city from Colorado
Springs on the fast Wabash at 4:10
Sunday afternoon, an hour behind
time. The remains were accompanied
by Mrs. Gatewood, who was at the
of her husband when he died.
A large number of old friends of the
deceased were at the train and sadly
followed the corpse to the cemetery,
where it was laid to rest after script
ure reading and prayer by Rev. @. @.
Hill, pastor of the Christian Church at
Montgomery City.
The pail bearers were J. M. Marina
duke, r. r. Arnold, ]. d. Morris, s. P.
Emmons, B. L. Locke and ]. g. Buck
ner.
Deceased was born November 10,
1927, in Clark County, Kentucky, and
at the age of 10 years removed to
Bowling Green, this State. When 10
years old he held q position in the
mail service of that city. After hav-
ing read law with Col. James o. Broad
head, of st. Louis, he came to Mont
gomery City in October, 1865, to prac-
tice his profession. He soon took
front rank In legal circles of that place
and maintained 1t until about fifteen
years ago, when he was compelled to
| give up business on account of his
health. During that time, however,
he had amassed q considerable estate
by his fine business qualifications and
remarkable success al q lawyer and
mad an ample competence for the de-
clining years of his life. OF late he had
spent several winters here, where he
formed a number OF very dear friend
ships. He was a lifelong friend OF
Col. Broadhead, of St. Louis, and OF
the late Judge A. II. Buckner, of this
city. About seven years ago Col
Gatewood had an attack Of Ia grippe
from which he never recovered anG
since then he has been an invalid. He
went to Colorado Springs about two
months ago, but grew gradually worse
and his death was not unexpected
The immediate cause of it was Bright
disease with diabetes and other com
plicated troubles affecting seriously
} Col. Gatewood was entirely a self
made man, and therefore deserve,
the more credit for the eminent sue
|, cess he attained. He was a man o
, sterling integrity and recognized NOR
atty, though protesting no especia
religion and a member of no church
He was peculiarly exact about a.
things and desired those about him t,
be likewise. He was a worthy frien'
! to the poor and a bsnefactor to thos
, in financial distress. He made all VIII
knew him love him and changed hi
, enemies to his warmest friends. Note
for his kindness, he lost no opportuni
ty to benefit those with whom he cam
in contact, and his death Is mourne
by large numbers all over the State
