Il PIONEERS DANGER.
THE FEARFUL STRUGGLE OF AN EARLY SETTLER
How One of the Early Farmers Michigan Overcame Serious Difficulty
His Life of Hardships
From the Observer. Flushing. Mich.

Frank Long who lives near Lennon, Mich
is one of the pioneer farmers Of Venice town
ship, Shiawassee County, and by his indus
try and thrift, in which many hardships were
endured, he now has one of the best farms in
that section.
He tells an interesting story of when his
life was in danger during his pioneer days.
He says:
About November /, 1894, on starting to
get up from the dinner table, was taken
with a pain in my back, and found myself
unable to move The pain increased and
spread over my entire body l was obliged
to take to my bed. The physician who was
Immediately summoned pronounced my case

bago. He gave me remedies and injected
morphine into my arm TO ease the pain
" My disease, however, gradually became
worse until l thought that death would be
welcome release from my sufferings. ! could
not sleep, but would lie awake all night and
rub my legs
This continued for about four months.
Besides my regular physician L also con-
suited another doctor, but he gave me no en-
couragement and said his medicine could do
me no good.
Il was finally induced through reading
some accounts III the newspapers regarding
the wonderful cures wrought by DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them,
which did as n last resort.

At South Mountain.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I think
there is statement in Greeleys American
Conflict" as published in your issue of Sept
| 8, that will bear correction. Under the cap
tion, ' Battle of South Mountain - he is
quoted as saying, when describing the fight
ing on the extreme left of Reno's Corps:
Meanwhile our superior numbers, backed
by desperate fighting enabled us TO steadily
! gain ground on either side until the crest Of
The nights on the left OF the pass was fairly
ours, though one of our batteries had mean
time been all but lost; its gunners having
| been shot down or driven off, and its guns
saved from capture only by determined
charge of the 23d Ohio, Tooth Pa, and 10th
| n. Y"
Now, if Greeley had not mentioned the ODD
Ohio, | might have supposed that ne referred
| to some circumstance with which | was un-
acquainted, but / know Just where the ODD
Ohio fought on that field, and / also know
that neither the Tooth Pa. nor the 45th n Y.
were anywhere near the same place. The
| 23d Ohio had joined our regiment (30th

and our regiment was on the extreme right
wing of Gen. Cox's Division.
The guns referred to were q part of Sim
mons's battery, and the guns two of them)

nor driven of, but aS there was no water to
be had with Which 80 swab the guns they
became so hot, that they could not be
handled, and then an order was issued for a
charge on the enemyfs battery to a regiment
which failed to respond

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After mid
night of Nov. 24 1863, having repulsed every
attack of the rebels, our division had few
hours rest with only an occasional picket
shot in our immediate front, which ceased
entirely toward dawn of Nov. 25. Soon day
light recalled the fact that the Johnnies had
left Lookout Mountain during the night and
the Union troops were in full possession.
With the rising of the sun on that Novem-
Der morning mighty shout arose from the
troops on the Lookout, rs again the Stars
and Stripes foated proudly from the top of
the mountain, that great rebel stronghold,
considered impregnable, thus bidding de-
fiance to Gen. Bragg and his hosts then on
Missionary Ridge.

CANCELLATION OF STAMPS.
Month, Day and Year, as Well as In
itials of Users, Now Necessary.

In view of the fact that fraud has been
discovered in connection with the cancella-
ton of documentary and adhesive internal
revenue stamps, by which old stamps were
reused, the Internal Revenue Bureau at
Washington yesterday issued regulation
which requires all such stamps to be cam
celed with the initials of the user together
with the month, day and year written or
stamped thereon. Hitherto the month. and
day of cancellation has not been required.
Another dispatch from Washington says
an important opinion rendered by Assistant
Attorney General Boyd, and approved by the
attorney general, was sent to the secretary
of the treasury on Friday, constituting Sec
ton 20 of the war revenue act relative to
taxes, under Schedule B, on medicinal arti-
stance, holds that the subjects of taxation
under the said section and schedule are con-
fined to compounded patent, trademark and
proprietary medicines and to such COM
pounded specifics and medicinal remedies as
are put up in packages ready for use by the
consumer without the Intervention of a
physician or pharmacists. On the other
hand, 1t is held that the law does not tax
medicinal preparations which are uncom-
pounded or which, if compounded, are put
for classification for the use of physicians in
practice or druggists or pharmacists in their
trade. This decision is of general impor-
lance to the medicine and drug business
throughout the country, and has the effect of
relieving from stamp tax many standard
medicines such as the serums and many
others. This opinion is now being embodied
in new regulations which will be promul-
gated very soon. The amounts of the taxes
paid on these excepted articles will be re-
funded by the government.

A TANGLEWOOD MYSTERY
A. C. REMY REPORTED IN CRITICAL
CONDITION FROM AN ASSAULT.
Laid Low in His Barn-Grand Jury
Said to Be Inves-
tiGating.

A. G. Remy is in a critical condition at
his home, Tanglewood farm, three miles
northeast of the city on the Milersville
road, and it is said the grand jury is in
vestigating a mysterious assault on him
which brought on his present serious illness.
The matter has been carefully kept a secret,
and it seems few Of Mr.. Remy's most init
mate friends know about it.
At o'clock one morning about month
ago Mr.. Remy was awakened by hearing
a noise in his barn. He arose and dressed
and went out to the building. He did not
wake the family. A short time afterward
one Of the employees on the farm saw a
light in Mr.. Remy's room. He thought il
queer that light should be there at that
hour and went to the room. He entered
and found Mr.. Remy was not there. He
did not find him in the house and he aroused
the family. A search began, which ended
in a secluded room in the barn, where the
family found Mr.. Remy stretched out un-
conscious on the floor.
He was unconscious for many days, it is
said, and at times his life has been despaired
by his family and the immediate friends
who had been told of the affair. One man
is suspected of having committed the crime,
