Magnetic Treatment and its
Virtues.

A system of treating diseases without
drugs and medicines. 1t demands
and comprehensive knowledge
of the anotomy of the Human Body, as
well as the science and ability to follow
the Physiological Laws governing the
distribution of its vital fluids and forces.
Prof. Wilkins reads his cases from
magnetic influence. Locates the seat OF
disease and defines its symptoms more
clearly than the patient. This power
is Il Gift and cannot be questioned by the
biggest Skeptic. If so. convincing
proof is open to you.
We don't have TO 90 out of Barre City
to confirm our statements eases OF years
standing who have been given up by
the medical faculty are our positive
proof. A cordial invitation extended to
all.

rible Condition, and Demanded
That the Road he Repaired.
The Board Will Make the
Improvements. ..

A little spice was injected into the

rights and does not fear anyone when ne
thinks the time has come for demanding

He complained OF the condition OF the
road in front of his place OF business;

living, and that the taxpayers money
was not always spent right; that more
could be done with less money.
He said 1900 carriages were counted
as passing through the mud hole IN one
day He said that in order to find out
to whom the road belonged, it would be
good idea to dump barrels into it.
1t was stated that the. road was origi'
naIy in charge OF the Levy Court. wal
ters thought mething ought to De
done; that the water is sometimes backed
into his place by others banking up
ground. -,

curbs cutters would be made and nc
then withdrew his complaint.

TRAVEL WAS HEAVY.
Thousands of WilmingtOnians go to
Philadelphia to See the Peace
Iuhiussn

A large number of persons from this
city viewed the naval parade and war
vessels at Philadelphia to-day. AS a
consequence the traffic was unusually
heavy on the various railroads.
The steamboat companies, for the time
being, enjoyed an advantage over the
railroads, as their passengers could get a
good view of the crafts and war vessels
from aboard the boats.
There was a heavy fog on the river
early Yesterday morning. 1t began to
come up at 4. 80 and did not raise until
8 O'clock 1t was so dense for time
that it was impossible to see fifty yards
ahead.
This kept nearly all the boats and tugs
from starting as early as was intended.
The Wilmington Steamboat Company
carried a good crowd The Chester took
900 and the Brandywine 750 Tney
started from the Fourth street wharf.
The steamboat Urica was to haye left
the King street wharf at 1850, but on ac-
count OF the fog did not start until about
an hour later. But 300 passengers, were
carried, giving all good opportunity to
zee every thing comfortably. Col. A. q.
McCausland and a party OF friends went
IN at 8 O'Clock on the tug Laura b.,
which was neatly decorated. +. 7. War

King street wharf. A. X. Morrison and
guests went on the Philadelphia from
Pusey h Jones Company's wharf at y
O'Clock.
Travel Oh the p, W. 4 r. road was
the heaviest for a long time. The train
leaving at 1913 was run in two sections,
there being a total of eighteen tilleui
coaches. The train leaving at II 20 had
ten coaches, extra coaches were added to
nearly all trains going to Philadelphia.
Station Master T. B. Brisson, OF the
p. W. & B. Railroad was given tempo.
rary assistance from the clerical force ol
the station in the person OF Nelson
