A Total Disability Claim Of $L650 Paid to

The Monitor, Il newspaper published at
Meaford Ont, Canada, first discovered this
case two years ago, and published it at
length, which now seems, owing to the
cure OF 1t, to be u miracle. The facts were
so remarkable that many people doubted
the truth of them. They said '.It is too re-
marknble; it cannot possibly be true; the
paper is mistaken, and the man. although
he may think himself cured, will soon re-
lapse into his former condition" etc., etc.
The accuracy of its report called in ques-

definitely whether the facts were as stated
and whether the man would really stay
cured. They accordingly kept close

To make the evidence complete we publish

for total disability. Its unnecessary to add
that this life insurance association did not
pay this large amount of money to Mr..
Petch, except after the most careful exam

experts. They must have regarded him
as forever incurable.

For three years he fingered in this con-
dition. Then by some friends he was ad-
yised to take DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there was
a slight change. The first thing noted was
a tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came little feeling In his limbs.

KNOCKED OUT.
Extra Session Of the Legislature Killed
by Impeachment Talk-Was Never
Popular.

While not officially announced it
is very generally understood among
state delegates and senators that
the proposed extra session of the
legislature to consider constitution
al amendments, is lost and cannot be
held this month, as was anticipated.
The secret ballot of the members of
the house has failed of the necessary
three fifths vote in the affirmative.
In view of the fact that 1T was at
the extra session that the impeach-
ment of Governor George Wesley
Atkinson, will occur, if at all, the de-
feat of the proposition is significant.
AS soon as impeachment became a
much talked of matter all over the
state the friends of the administra-
ton began to oppose the extra SEES
sion. It is stated that its defeat is
attributed to the influence of the
administration, but if there was OPP
position from this quarter it was not
exerted openly. In view of the
turn affairs have taken the COVER
nor's friends are resting much easier.

GIVEN THREE YEARS.
Fighting Tom Cooper sent up for three
Years on four Indictments sad fate
of the terror OF Baldwin township.

Saturday at Pittsburg Fighting
Ton Cooper who occupied such
large portion of the attention Of the
public in this section some time ago
was called up for sentence. He was
under four indictments. In the first
for felonious shooting with intent to
kill, he was fined six and one-quar-
ter cents, ordered to pay the costs Of
prosecution and committed to the
Allegheny county workhouse for two
years Under the second indictment,
for arson, he was sent to the work
house for one year, sentence to be
carried out after the preceding one
had been fulfilled The third case
called for another years imprison-
ment in the workhouse, sentence to
run concurrent with the first one.
The fourth one was disposed Of with
out sentence, Judge Porter consid-
ering that the indictment was prac
tically similar to the first. With
the courts permission Cooper was
permitted to withdraw his plea Of
nolle contendre in the fourth count,
this practically disposing of the
case and squaring the record.
The sentence was very much hea-
vier than any one expected as he
had given the officers no trouble and
had promptly plead guilty when ar
raigned before the court. The whole
affair has been out of proportion.
The sensational chase and the arrest
which are fresh in the minds Of the
residents of the town were more like
melodrama than experiences in
real life. That the sentence was so
unwarranted makes a fitting close to
the incident. For a short time we
must bid farewell to Fighting Tom
and the thrilling tales Of his feroci-
ties.

Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
of Eye olden time as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, cumber-
some filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that SO few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
ly the older members of the profes-
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
a thorough course in this new de
parture.
Fully realizing this fact / have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. Sec
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work is right, and you will
be more than pleased.

The Business Men Asked to Raise
$5,O00--The Great Benefit Iof the
Plan.
The b. & |. Company have propo-
sltion which means much to the town.
The offer is made by a company of
capitalists who propose to come here
providing their offer is accepted by
the town. They are very modest in
their request. They only want free
site which the r. & /. will furnish
them and besides they want ten
thousand dollars bonus. The b. & |.
will give half OF this if the business
men of the town will give the rest.
The company have already done more
than their share for the upbuilding of
the town than they are required, to
judge by any standard, and their offer
is most generous one.
What the new company is to do in
return is very satisfactory and will re-
ceive the appreciation of every one.
They will put up factory TO employ
from l25 to $50 men to start on, and
will make it larger as time goes on.
They will not run against the Seneca
but will rather help the factory's OUT
put The concerns will be mutually
helpful. They will make az agree.
ment to run for number Of years to
be determined upon. OF course the
details have not been arranged but
they will be made satisfactory to all
concerned. Probably the same ar
engagements that obtain in regard to
the Seneca will be adopted.
The whole matter will be laid be-
fore the business men of the town to-
morrow night at the Office Of the I'm
ion improvement company and all the
people interested in the progress of
the town are invited to attend. The
meeting will begin at seven o'clock.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
scheme will be success. The bene-
fits derived from the factory which we
already have make that much to be
expected. The town gets enough in
one month from having the Seneca
here as the whole bonus asked for by
the new factory. The whole popula-
tion has felt the impetus and business
in every avenue of trade has been ben
Gifted. The amount asked is a very
small one and the offer Of the inn
provement company reduces it still
further. Every one should attend
the meeting and assure the landing Of
the tempting prize.
With another factory employing the
number of hands that the new one
proposes to do will make the prosper
ity of the town even greater than it
has been for the past few years when
it has been uneqnalled in the history
of the town. Morgantown has been
moving right along and the good work
should be kept up. Go to the meeting
and help it along with your encour-
agement and your cash.

Some people say that it is vulgar
to have any perfume whatever, no
matter how sweet, about the person
or clothing. Others contend that a
delicate perfume is mark of dain-
tiness. But be that as it may, nearly
every woman likes to have her under
clothing, gowns, gloves handker-
chiefs and stationery emit faint
breath of sweetness OF some kind,
and men like it in women too. Once
let man associate certain alluring
perfume with certain woman and
he never separates the two in his
mind. If it is violet he always
thinks of her when he gets Whit of
the scent of violets; if roses, she
comes to him whenever he smells
that flower, even if many years and
thousands of miles are between them.
Those who go in for occultism say
that perfumes have just as much oc-
cult power as the gems. Perhaps
is SO, perhaps it isn't: but one thing
is certain, and that is that women
are always learning some new way to
make themselves and their things
daintier and sweeter than ever before.
