Remarkable Experience Of an Illinois Minis.
ter. Rev. W. j. Chaplin of Chatham Tells
Interesting Story of His Prostitution
and Restoration to Health.
In the pretty little village of Chatham.
Sangamon County, Ill, there lives a Bap-
fist divine. His clear eye, keen mental
faculties and magnificent physique all bear
witness to a life we'll and nobly spent This
pioneer is Rev. w. J. Chaplin, whose y
years are crowded with noble deeds in the
Christian ministry.
To State Journal representative who
had occasion to ask him something of his
career in the ministry Mr.. Chaplin talked in
a peculiarly interesting strain.
Jimmy earlier years | was almost per
feet stranger to any kind of medicine or
tonic. AS is too often the case, however, I
overestimated my physical resources. The
crisis came about IS years ago | was
preaching the gospel at the time and be
came suddenly so i'll that | was compelled
to stop before my sermon was finished. 1t

for time my friends and family were great

describe my feelings so that others can have
conception of them. | felt absolutely
worthless, physically and mentally. | had
so lost control OF my muscles that my fingers
would involuntarily release their grip upon
a pen, and my hand would turn over with
absolutely no volition on my part
About two years ago to intensity mat

and had frequent returns of that indescrib-
able feeling which accompanies and fol-
lows that strange malady. | looked i'll vain
for something to bring relief and finally |
read an account of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People They gave ME additional
strength from the start and toned up my
system so that was able again to resume
my duties as a minister.
Mrs. Chaplin, a kindly faced elderly lady
said: "They did him so much good that |
decided TO test their efficacy on myself. |
have been troubled for years with what our
physician, DR.. Hewitt. calls rheumatic para
lySis, but since taking the Pink Pills | have
been stronger and the pain in my right arm
and hand is less acute. We keep the pills
in the house nearly all the time. and they do
me great deal of good in the way of toning
up my system and strengthening me. The
pills are used by good many others in this
vicinity and every one speaks well of them"
All the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves, are contained in con-
denSed form, in DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. They are an unfailng
specific for such diseases as locomotor ataX-
ia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus dance, sciati-
ca, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after effect of the grip, palpitation
and all forms of weakness either in male or
female. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

Annual Report of Treasurer F. NJ. Simpson.
The annual report of F. NJ. Simpson,
State Treasurer for the fiscal year end
ing December 81, 1900, was given out
Jan. 10th. Mr.. Simpsons term of office
extended over term of six years-the
constitutional limit-and in his report
he compares this years condition of
the treasury with the years since 1894.
The report shows that on January [,
1895, the bonded Indebtedness of the
State was 50, 403, 900 and at the present
| time it is 81, 5000, which shows re-
ductlon OF 100000 in the past six years.
In addition to the latter sum, S43O, / 40
has been paid in interest on the bonded
debt, making total Of $50, 40 paid
out
The temporary loans outstanding
amount to $3.50, 000
Under the caption ''Revenue and tax
alton, the report says:
THE aggregate receipts of this de-
partment during the year were s2,O14,-
00S; which amount increased by $780,
522, cash in the treasury on the first day
OF January, 1900 shows the available
cash for the past year to have been 81
0l4,65l leaving cash balance on hand
at the close of the year of S19S, $40.
which amount is S643 less than the cash
balance on hand at the close of the year
1892
MI Simpson presents a table, show
ing that the expenditures for each year
IN the past six years, with single ex-
ception exceeded the receipts; and of
the six years the total expenditures
have exceeded the receipts by 5000, 316
He quotes from his report of 1898:
THE condition of the treasury plain
" indicates that if the appropriations
for the next two years shall equal in
amount the appropriations made for
the past two years it will be necessary
for the Legislature in order to save the
State treasury from embarrassment in
the management of financial affairs of
the State, to provide additional revenue
from other sources or to increase the
rate of taxation

bic to the financial situation of the
