Prof. Parker Is the Man, and Will
Be at the New Avenue House
Every Friday and Saturday
The Deaf Have Been Made to Hear, the
Blind to See, and the Lame Walk.
"There Are More Things in
Heaven and Earth, HOratiO,
Than Are Dream't of in
Your Philosophy"

Over two years the public have been
treated to the most marvellous demon
STATIONS of the effects of magnetism or
curing the sick by the laying on of hands;
to say that the cures made by Prof.
Parker border on the marvellous, does
not halt explain the situation. When we
see men and women up in the seventies,
who have been dra wn out of shape aud
deformed for years Strengthened out and
made to walk as we'll as ever by the SIM
pie application of a mans hand to the
afflicted part, it is hard work to suppress
our surprise and astonishment.
For over two years this great work has
been continued at Prof Parker Burling-
ton Magnetic Institute, where there were
no less than FIVE deaf persons restored in
a few minutes, and the most OF them
over 70 years old, and one old gentleman
stated be was SO years old, and was
made to hear a whisper.
People with canes and crutches have
been taken to the Institute and walk
away in perfectly natural manner after
receiving magnetic treatment from
Prof. Parker of not over five minutes.
The blind have been restored and the
manned made well. When Mr.. Smith,
we'll known citizen of this city, was
asked by gentleman who intended to
take treatment, what he thought of it,
Mr.. Smith responded: II have no opin-
ions to express-but here is a fact: Peo-
pie come here in carriages and wagons
and are help out and are helped up the
stairs on crutches, and walk back down
stairs without them, and get into their
carriages and drive away without any
assistance"
In fact, Mr.. l. A. Morse, very dear
friend of mine, came here to Prot, Parker
some time ago. l saw him when he came
and he had all he could do to get up into
the office. Prof. Parker permanently
cured him in less time than he said it
would take. l certainly consider Prof.
Parker wonder, and advise all who are
sick to call on him at the New Avenue
House whea he comes, which will be Fri
DAYS and Saturdays. Hours, Fridays,
II p. m. to s D. M. Saturdays, 9 a. M
to p. m. Ladies entrance.

A Citizens Suggestion

The following is an anonymous
communication, containing the
views of citizen concerning the
welfare of Union City. It is one of
the positive rules of newspapers,
repeated time and again, that the
name of the writer shall accompany
his manuscript in order to secure
its publication. This does not i'm
ply that the name must necessarily
be published also, but given to the
editor as an assurance of good faith
and honesty of purpose. Of course,
this writer may not understand
these facts, and we are making an
exception for that reason in this
case:
Editor Commercial, Union City
With your permission would like to
use the columns of your valuable pa
per to say few words. l want to
know how many of our citizens and
| business men want to see Union City
prosper, and how many are willing to
do something to help build up our
city. Unless something is done we
can never expect to have fiourishing
town What we want is more rail-
roads, and the one we want most is
the I. G. With the l, G. in our town
we could have cheap freight rates in
every direction. Factories, mills. etc.,
could afford to locate here then, for
they could ship in any direction and
have advantage of cheap rates. This,
road would also bring more people to-
our town, cause new houses to go
up, property would be worth more,
business men would do thrice their
business and cur little city would SOON
be out of debt and one of the best
towns in the South. No town can
grow and prosper unless the people
take an interest in its welfare-and
that's what we've got to do. Our
town is surrounded by one of the best
farming sections in the South, and
with another railroad here we would
be bound to prosper. If we can't get
the main line of the L. c., then let's
have branch line. Several years ago
we had the best and liveliest town in
this section, and there is no reason
why it should not be so now, if we
would only try to make it so, and give
railroads, factories and manufacture
ing establishments some inducements
to locate here. The prosperity of our
town is of great Importance to us now
and 1 earnestly request some one to
take the matter in hand and start the
good work along.
Thanking you for your space and
hoping to see our people take steps to
promote our city.
Very respectfully,
A CITIZEN.

The Senate is still considering
the ship subsidy bill and on Mon
day Senator Vest made brilliant
speech on the subject. 1t was a
picturesque and inspiring sight as
the ''LittIe Giant of Missouri"
crippled and almost stricken down
with disease, gave evidence by his
caustic logic and perfectly turned
periods, of the intellectual fire
that burns undimned despite his
physical infrmities. The Senator
had said himself that this would
probably be his last set speech in
the Senate and his colleagues of
both parties paid him the compli-
ment of gathering around him and
listening with marked attention to
his arrangement of a measure SO
dear to Republican interests and
policy.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

There is, at this time, a fight in
Congress which has hardly been
equalled in bitterness of feeling or
in the momentous possibilities of
it's results since the Civil War.
Cuban reciprocity is the casus bel
Ii and the belligerents are the
President, Speaker Henderson and
the Ways and Means committee
on the one side, and the oeet sugar
interests, headed by Representa-
tive Tawney and William Alden
Smith on the other. So far the
Democrats have taken no part in
the struggle but they are on the
alert and will seize upon any OPP
portunity to relieve the people
from the burden of taxation which
has been dictated by the thrice
protected trusts. So intense has
become the situation that it is
common occurrence for Republican
Senators to come over to the
House end of the Capitol to try
and influence their recalcitrant
brethren. Senator Quay has tele-
graphed from his residence in
Florida, to all members of the
Pennsylvania delegation to sup
port the administration. Senator
Hanna occupied a large portion of
the floor of the House on Tuesday,
trying to convert unruly Republi
cans, and the beet sugar men are
predicting that the contest will
wrest from Mr.. Roosevelt the next
Presidential nomination and that,
whatever may be the complexion
of the Fifty-eighth Congress, Mr..
Henderson will not be it's speaker,
while some of them predict that if
the Ways and Means measure
passes it will mean loss of at
least twenty members in the next
House.

At the instance of Senators Ber-
ny ami Mitchell, Senator Burrows
has promised that his committee
will report one of the several reso-
lutions providing for a change of
the Constitution SO that Senators
shall be elected by a direct vote of
the people, and the debate which
which follow the report will be
replete with interest. The Sen
ators could, perhaps, choose no
more suspicious time for the dis
cussion Of this subject, assuming
that they desire to perpetuate the
present system. The House of
Representatives is daily manifest
ing its inability to deal with inn
portant measures and is constantly
relying upon the Senate to proper
ly revise the bills which it passes.
With such an object lesson at hand
the Senators will not lack for eX-
amples of the ACCESSIBILITY of the
existing provisions Of the Cons
titution.

the Republican politicians desire

On Monday the House Of Repre-
sentatives passed the rural free
delivery bill, but not until it was so
amended as to bear little resem-
blance to its former self. The con
tract provisions were stricken out
and salary, not to exceed 5000 a
year. provided as remuneration
for the rural carriers, with no al
lowances. The carriers will also,
by the provisions of the bill, be
permitted to carry express, pro-
vided they can do so without in
terfering with the efficiency of
their service as mail carriers. The
dill as passed will prove of great
advantage to the large mail order
houses and possibly of equal detri-
ment to local merchants. Since
the passage of this bill the House
has devoted itself to the considera-
ton Of the Post-office Appropria-

body.

The House Committee on Bank

a bill providing for a new system
of "elastic currency" ETC., which.
according to Chairman Fowler,
will open up to the people of the
United States financial millen,
mum. The banks are to assume
all responsibility of maintaining
the gold reserve, are to issue mon
ey in such amounts that financial
stringency attending high rates OF

is almost needless to say that q
closer examination of the measure
itself reveals the fact that its pas
sage would mean the complete
surrender of the interests of the
people to the banking interests
and only a beautiful faith in the
philanthropy of the bankers in
their business affairs can warrant
the assumption that they will so
manage the finances of the coun-
try as to prevent high rates of in

At present the indications are
that Messrs. Henderson and Payne
will win in the conferences, the
fourth of which was held on Tues
day evening without result, but
the beet sugar men declare that
the Ways and Means bill can never
be successful on the floor of the
House. They say that it must be
preceded by the adoption Of rule
similar to that under which the re-
peal of the war revenue taxes was
accomplished and which prohibit
ed any amendment to the measure.
The adoption of such rule, they
say, is impossible, as nearly fifty
Republicans are sworn to vote
against it. Mr.. Henderson well
realizes that, were the bill report
ed without such a rule, the tariff
revision Republicans would join
forces with the Democrats and the
result would mean tariff revision
on a wholesale scale. Every form
of pressure known to the party
whips is being used. Senator's are
suggesting to the obstinate opposi-
ton that there will be new aspi-
rants for Congressionalnomination
