EMERSON WILL STAY.
Pastor of FirStChristian Church
Given Leave of Absence.

Rev. F. w. En- erson is still pastor of
the First Christian church. His resig-
nation was evaded by his congregation,
who hit upon the scheme of giving him
years leave of absence, and hiring
an assistant pastor. Rev Mr.. Emerson
will lecture under the auspices of the
State Temperance Union, and as he
had made a contract with the Union,
it seemed that his resignation would
have to be accepted whether the con-
gregation was willing not, until the
chance to escape suggested at the meet
ing of the church Sunday night. AS
the matter now stands the church feels
greatly relieved.
At the meeting in the morning a vote
was taken on the question, and a few
voted to accept Mr.. EmerSon'S reSig-
nation, because they knew that he wish
ed to be released, but the matter was
not settled and was brought up again
at night. When it was proposed that
the pastor be given a leave of absence
the vote of adoption was unanimous,
and he will still be pastor of the church.
Mr.. Emerson will lecture all over the
state, wherever the Union sees fit to
send him. He has had the position in
view for several months, and at one
time last SUNNI r had prepared his
resignation to the church, but discov-
cred before he handed it in that some
of the leaders of the State Temperance
Union were opposed to him as a lee
turer, and dropped the matter for the
time

ABLEST DOCTORS

Declare There is a Sure
Cure for Nervous
Ailments.
Use of Paine's Celery Is
Openly Advised.
Wonderful Results Recently Ef.
feCted by Compound.

BUFFALO. Oct >. 1e01.-An evening pa
per publishes a symposium OF physicians
opinions regarding the efficacy OF various
remedies for the cure of nervous prostra-
ton and attendant ills. Each physician was
asked to express his opinion. first. whether
those diseases were durable when once they
had gained hold upon the patient. and.
second, whether the same remedy would be
beneficial in all cases.
Without exception, the physicians inter-
viewed declared that nervous prostrauon,
when not too fa- advanced, insomnia, rheu-
matism, indigestion, resulting, as it most
frequently does, from deranged nerves,
dizzy headaches, and most liver and kidney
complaints, were absolutely durable
But the answer TO the second question
was most remarkable, because, with two
exceptions, all the doctors mentioned by
name Paine's celery compound. we'll

Richardson Co. of burlington. VT, and
first discovered by the eminent DR.. Edward
Phelps, some years ago, after a thorough
investigation and the accumulation of a
great deal OF data, both here and in Ger
many.
1t is probably the one instance. says the
newspaper, where a prepared remedy has
been openly indorsed by physicians OF such
standing. 1t seems that the formula of the
compound has always been furnished 10
physicians In regular standing, and that
the remedy is generally prescribed by up
to-date practitioners both here and in Eng
land and Germany, where il is quite as
well known as in this country.
Many wonderful cures by the use of this
famous compound are cited, one of them
the well-known case of Commodore Howell,

After this depression the admiral returned
to the reconnaissance of May 81. That some

Again leaving the question of the May
reconnaissance, the witness related the par

account coallng operations be suspended.
Here Admiral Schley brought his narra-
tive up 10 Santiago, and he said in that
connection that he had regarded the orders
