THE BOY Phenomenon.
Daily Accomplishing Wonder
full Cures at the Buchtel
Hotel.
Where He May be Consulted ALI
This Week Except
July 4.
Another Remarkable Cure of Well
Known Citizen.

The invalid world wants to be con-
WINGED. What the sick want and de-
mand, is proof that a certain method
will cure. Then if the proof is near
at hand, and can be substantiated by
some one you know, the amount of
faith you will have will depend upon
the prominence or reputation of the
person testifying. When such a
one, who has seen the wonderful eff
fects, and observed the remarkable
cures wrought, or, better still, have
been cured themselves, and SO testi-
fies in public, and tells you in per-
son, how or where they were cured,
it is duty you owe to yourself,
your friends and family to obtain
that cure as speedily as possible.
When, therefore, such men as Mr..
John Manderbsch, of 139 Bartges ST.,
an old veteran of the Civil war, and
a man who is honored and esteemed
by all who know him, tells you that
for 81 years ne has been compelled
to use cane to get around, and did
not know what good nights rest
was, that his pains were the most
torturing and constant rheumatism
can give, that he tried all kinds of
medicine without avail, and had fin
ally become discouraged in trying to
get well. That three weeks ago he
received Vital Magnetic treatment,
and has not had a pain since. Sleeps
like a babe. Stiffness and soreness
all gone: has thrown away his canes
and crutches and now wears his
shoes. and says he is well man.
When such testimony is from your
own citizens-capable of proof in ten
minutes time. how can you doubt?
While the Boy Phenomenon will
remain in Akron two weeks longer,
he positively refuses to take any new
cases after Saturday night, July 8,
therefore those who wish to be cured
should lose no time in making an
appointment. Office hours at Buch-
tel Hotel daily from 10 ain. to pm.
and to evenings all this week.

DREYFUS SPEAKS LITTLE.
Partial Paralysis of Speech Owing to
Long Silence-His Compos-
Remarkable.

PARIS. July 3.-As the outcome of
the governments prudence all France
remains tranquil. Maitries Demage
and Labor, with Matthew Dreyfus and
his wife. arrived last evening at Rem
mes. The town is quite tranquil.
Maitre Labor, who will defend Cap
tain Dreyfus before the courtmartial.
has never seen him. Madame Dreyfus
only obtained permission to visit her
husband thrice weekly for an hour.
His composre is the theme of all
tongues. 1t seems that in the train one
of the officers began to read news
paper, but although Dreyfus had not
seen paper since he left France, he did
not display the slightest interest.
He speaks very little, and seems to
suffer partial paralysis of speech,
owing to his long silence. Even on
board the Sfax he had to communicate
with the officers by writing.
He is credited on good authority with
the following: "My condemnation and
sentence were the symbol of anti-Jew-
ish odlum. My judges were involun-
tarily deceived May my undeserved
expiation put an end to all racial or re-
hgious feuds in the army and in that
France which have passionately loved
and served"
RENNES. France, July 3.-Mme. Drey
fus had third interview with her hus.

Stree, Car Wen TO Hold a Meeting To-
day an.i May BE Another
strike

OLEvELANp, July 3.-There were ru.
mors of more trouble among the en-
ployes of the Big Consolidated Street
Railway company. There may not be
another strike, but meeting of en-
ployes was called for today at which
the question cf whether the company
has lived up to its agreements with the
strikers will be discussed.
The men claim that some parts Of the
agfeement have been violated, and es-
pecially with respect to the placing OF
non union men on runs, though the at
torney of the strikers during the nego-
tiations leading to the settlement says
the company is living up to the agree
ment. The union leaders say that the
company must be forced to treat the
men fairly.
President Everett of the Big Console
dated said that he held the union men
responsible for the trouble that has oc-
CURED since the settlement of the
strike. He said he had evidence that
the assaults on non-union men had been
melted by the strikers who had returned
to work, and he even charged that men
and boys had been employed to throw
stones at the cars.
Mr.. Everett declared that he would
begin prosecutions within a few days
against several of the more radical Of
the union men who, he said, had been
melting riots.
There was a feeling of uncertainty as
to the outcome of the meeting today,
and the belief was growing that there
would be further trouble.

THE selection of so quiet and con-
servative gentleman as Judge E.
W. Stuart as chairman of the local
Republican Executive committee.
ought to be pleasant relief to those
Republicans who are tired of having
that position filed by clamorous but
mistaken prophets of victory. Chair
man Stuart told his fellow workers
last Saturday that 1.-The Republicans
of Summit county have hard fight
before them this fall Contrast this
frank statement with the sturdy
boasts of his shouting predecessors,
Clint Kline, Art Rowley and other
political soothsayers, who for years
have been prophesying Republican
victory to be as certain in Akron and
Summit county as there is ''sun
shining in the heavens" only to
cause their deluded followers rude
shock of awakening at the polls.
