Mr.. Edwin r. Trip. the postmaster, at
Middlefeld Center, n. Y, recently had q
dangerous experience which left him in a
helpless state. His system was so much
shattered that it was feared he might never
recover.
In an interview with reporter of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, Mr..
Tripp stated:
''In March, 1892, was taken with what |
afterward learned was locOmotOr ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and ] kept getting
worse until | lost the use of my arms. l
doctored with two slxillful doctors but re-
ceived no benefit, and also used a galvanlc
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1892. / gave up all
hope of ever having the use of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long:
I was unable to dress or undress myself, and
could not get around TIE house unless was
moved in q chair.
g. think it was in June that read of the
case of man in Saratoga Co., n. Y, who
was taken very much as myself. He had
taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People which contained in a condensed form,
all the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves, and had been cured by their
use.
81 learned that the pills were prepared by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Company, Sche-
nectady. N. Y, and only cost 30 cents box

Prof. Aleck Zenier.

Sunday of this week, at the Con-
gregational church in Appleton, DR..
John Faville, its pastor, preached his
twelfth anniversary sermon, dealing
for the most part with the record Of
the years work in various departments
of his church. Among the facts brought
out was an eloquent compliment for
former Grand Rapids boy. Rev. Faville
said: ''It is the glory of our musical
department that it has brought the
music of this church to standard where
it gives to this congregation Sunday
after Sunday some Of the best sacred
music in the world. Of our organist's
services in this church no words of
appreciation from me are needed.
There are few pastors and organists
about us who have worked together as
long as Mr.. Zenier and myself, and
fewer still who have had less friction
about how their departments should be
harmonized. If such offices as organist
and preacher are needed on the other
side l shall speak for the man, who
with such unassuming modesty,
generous and accommodating spirit and
splendid efficiency, has been Il fellow
laborer with me here all these years"

business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee s Co.

CHICAGO. liz, Jan. Is.
A much stronger stock market in New
York to-day, good trade conditions
everywhere and the price of wheat
ready to advance on the least symptom
of buying augur we'll for the financial
and industrial condition of this country.
Wheat is particularly stubborn just
now in its resistance to the attacks of the
professional bears, who keep on selling
the May option in the face Of the fact
that they may find great difficulty in Sc
curing the grain to deliver on their con-
tracts. The situation in this country is
daily growing more favorable for the
raisers of wheat, according to the adj
vices received by Schwartz, Dupee d
Co., while the condition of affairs abroad,
where the same firm has numerous
agents, is daily shaping itself in favor of
better prices. The party here which
bought and paid for about 9,0O0,0 900
bushels of December wheat, refuses to
sell pound Of it except at price 10 cents
per bushel above present quotations
and its members express the utmost
confidence in the future. The market
to-day was firm, and at the top price of
the day there was good buying.
In corn is still dull and sluggish feel
ing, but there is little disposition on part
of holders to sell at present figures.
Provisions continue strong in spite of
liberal hog receipts

What do you think of the following
questions taken from one issue of the

The Nenetians travestied the Hebrew
prophecies in order to injure ShyIock's
countrymen. What does he exaggerate
to revenge himself upon them? What
efectually opposes him?
Is there anything of hope in An

"Whither art thou going?" and the last

piled to Great Britaln's Dispatch,
and Declares That "we Shall Know

Pretoria, March 16.-A widespread
sensation has been caused by the decla-
ration of former Chief Justice Kolze
that when the case of Mr.. Brown, the
American engineer with claims against
the Transvaal government pending in
the courts was awaiting Judgment
subsequently given in his facor, Presi-
dent Kruger, in an interview with him
Judge Kolze) threatened him with
dismissal unless he obeyed the volks-
raad resolution.
At a special session of the volksraad
yesterday President Kruger declared
Judge Kolze's statement false, and
said THE devil himself never spoke
a greater lie."
Having given his version of the mat
ter President Kruger, turning to the
political situation said that people were
jealous of the country's independence
and the progress it was making. No
one knew what was going to happen,
but they must stand together. The
government, he declared, had replied
to the British dispatch, and the reply
would be published directly. He knew
that 1t had reached the hands of Mr.
Chamberlain.
President Kruger concluded his
speech by eXclalming: 1--WE shall show
that we are a government"
His declarations left the impression
that the governments reply denies the
British claims of suzerainty.
Judge Kolze has published his notes
supporting his statement as to the in
terview with President Kruger. He
declares that he regards himself as
still the chief justice of the supreme
court until properly tried. He will first
appeal to the people for redress, and If
that fails him, he says he is bound
to prosecute his rights in other quar-
ters and to appeal to the queens gov
ernment.

THE BRIBERY SCANDAL
That Is Agitating the City of
Brotherly Love.
THE INVESTIGATION PROCEEDING

Councilman Stevenson Repeats Under
Oath His statement That lie Was
offered Five Thousand Dollars to
Vote For Lease of city water Works.
Philadelphia March 16-.The coun-
cilmanic committee appointed to inves-
tigate charges of attempted bribery
made in open meeting by Councilman
Stevenson held a meeting yesterday,
and Mr.. Stevenson was the main wit
ness. The councilman testified that on
March 2. E. Smith, a member of the
Republican ward executive committee
of the Twenty ward, visited him
at his office and asked that he turn i'm
for the water bill. This he refused to
do, on the grounds that the bill "was
a big steal" Smith again urged that
Mr.. Stevenson should reconsider his
answer, but to this the reply was given
that the matter had received all the
consideration deemed necessary, and
that any one voting for the bill should
be hung.
"He then told me-" continued Mr..
Stevenson, that ! had better take the
$4,000 that would be given for my vote
and 60 along with the bill, which l re-
fused to do"
Continuing Mr.. Stevenson said that
on the occasion of another visit the
name of Charles f.. Kindred was men
toned in connection with the bill, and
the statement was then made that
$4,000 would be credited to him if he
would vote for the bill.
James L. Stevenson, a brother of the
councilman, was next examined. He
said: THE gentleman referred to by
my brother visited my brothers office
on several occasions. My brother and
1 had several talks about the matter,
and Walter decided upon a line of ac-
tion. on Wednesday last Mr.. Smith
called at my brothers office and while
there he said, What do think Of your
brother? He has a chance to make
$1,000 and is going to throw it over his
shoulder and l replied, Peter, that
is just what I would do"
Three brothers of Stevenson testified
to Smiths visits to the office, but they
did not hear the alleged offers of
money. Miss Hombacker, Stevenson's
typewriter, testified to hearing Smith
talk to Stevenson in an undertone,
heard Stevenson say mo" several
times, and heard Smith say you are
very foolish. You're the only one down
there who wouldn't"
Mr.. Kindred, who is general agent
Of the Reading railroad, denies COM
plicity in the alleged attempt to bribe,
saying he has always been opposed to
the water bill.
The hearings will be continued.

New York March 16.-Considerable
excitement prevailed on the wheat
curb late yesterday afternoon. Badly
shaken by attacks made during the
regular market sessions, the bull ele-
ment lost entire control of the market
after 2:15 o'clock, prices breaking to
9SAc. for May, against 995sc. at the
regular close, and $1.OO% the highest
for the day. There was no attempt
made to check the decentralization of
values. Wheat bought earlier in the
day was hastily unloaded on the fast
falling market, and bear traders, en-
couraged by reports that Letter had
sold a million bushels of May wheat,
hammered away at values with a vigor
not equaled since the middle of last
week.
