Prof. 8. A. Weltmer. the noted scientist OF
Nevada. Mo-. and the originator of the
Weltmer method of healing diseases with
out the knife and without medicines, has
demonstrated in thousands of instances
that his method Of treatment was of such
an eficacious nature that there were very
few Of the chronic diseases heretofore
termed hopeless and incurable, that would
not succumb to his method. Thousan Is of
people-men. women and children in every
walk Of nfe-have testified, many of them
on their oath, that weltmerism had cured
them after their family physicians and
others had termed their cases incurable.
He has also had under his care men and
women Of national reputation. such as
United States Senator'S. Congressman and
Governors of States. people to whom any
method of treatment IS available, and as
It certainly must have in it elements of un-
usual strength. To hear Of a man In this
century being able to make the deaf hear.
the blind see and the lame walk. reverts
our minds back to the miracles of olden
times. Yet. these sensational cures have
been perfected from time to time by Prof.
s.. A. Weltmer. Take for instance. the
case Of Mrs. Indiana Goodwin. wife of
Thomas w. Goodwin. who is the head Of the
great Virginia Iron Works Co. Norfolk.
Va. Mrs. Goodwin suffered for many years
with deafness and head noises. She was
pronounced absolutely 1ncurable by the best
ear specialists in the United States. She
was permanently cured by Prof. Weltmer's
famous absent treatment method. She
writes under date of February %: My
husband took me to the Clifton Springs
Sanitarium of New York. where Is sup
posed to be the best skill and talent in the
United States. 1 was informed that my
case was hopeless and a cure impossible.
We came home. my mind made up to bear
advertisement. l determined to try 1t. with
little hope. but imagine my surprise when.
in four days after taking the absent treat
ment. / could hear the clock tick on the
mantei while lying in my bed, and I con-
tinued to grow better and better. until to-
May the Great and Blessed God. who is all
mercy and compassion, abundantly bless,
guide and direct Prof. Weltmer In the great
work of healing the infirmities of suffering
humanity
Another remarkable case Is that of E. W.
Drummond Of Thompson. Mont. Mr..
Drummond was totally blind. Four leading
physicians had told him there was abso-
no hope for recovery. He writes:
"As I was totally blind in both eyes. a re-
hope. I was almost crazed on account of
this terrible afniction: l heard of Prof,
Weltmer. the great Nevada healer, and
myself under his care. He treated
me three days in his office and told me to
go home and he would continue treating
light from darkness, and in less
than one month I could see perfectly. I
shall ever regard Prof. Weltmer as my
savior and may heavens richest blessing
ever be his in his efforts to bring health
and happiness to the afflicted thousands all
over this IND

cases that Is known to science Is that Of

WEIzER STRUGGLES
WITH CINNAMON BEAR
Infatuated Animal Leaped Upon
His Trainers Back and Fas-
tened Its Teeth in His Side.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

SPEC1AL.
Chicago, ILL.,. April 5-Struggling in the
clutches of a huge cinnamon bear which
had attacked him. Frederick Weizer. an
animal trainer. had a desperate struggle for
his life.
He is now at the Samaritan Hospital suf-
fering from a number of severe wounds.
The struggle with the bear took place in
a vacant building formerly occupied as a
livery stable. Here for five days. five large
bears. the property of a Eallee. n pro-
fessional performer. have been kept under
guard. Daily 1t has been the custom of
Weizer. who is an animal trainer. to eX-
ercise the animals. and it was while en-
gagged in this work that he had the en-
counter.
When weizer opened the cage of three
Of the animals for the purpose of exercising
them. two of the beasts were tied to chains
in a corner. while a third. a large cinnamon
bear. was held in the center of the room by
a 1O-foot chain. While Weizer was endeav-
oring to unfasten the chain preparatory to
returning the animal to its cage, the bear,
walking behind him.. leaped upon his back.
at the same time fastening its teeth into
the PROSTATE mans side.
The shouts of the victim and the struggle
in the meantime had attracted the atten-
ton of Dewitt L. Curtis. a en-
gagged in making repairs on the building. At
the same time L. +. Morrow. colored. who
has charge of the vacant premises. made
his appearance at the front door. WeiZer
shouted to them for assistance. but they did
not venture forward, fearing the beast
would attack them. Finally, however,
Curtis gathered sufficient courage to enter
the room. and picking up a large piece Of
grindstone he approached the struggling
pair on the floor. With a blow on the head
he managed TO loosen the animals grasp
on the victim. and at the same time Nor

OF JOHN A. LOGAN
FROM SECESSION TO UNION.
Letter From r. E. Goodell of D enver, Colo, to George Judd of
Springfield, .IH-Change of Heart of War Democrat-Black Jack
Logan Borrowed Rifle From Private in Fight Before Bull Run.

A letter from r. E. Goodell, now a resi-
der; of Denver. Colo, though for many
| years a citizen of Illinois, to George Judd of
Springfield, ILL.,. gives what is apparently
the only authentic account of how and
when General John A. Logan was converted
to the Union cause. Both Goodell and
Judd were war Democrats, and most ardent
supporters ard admirers of Stephen A.
Douglas. Mr.. Goodell had a fortunate op-
portunity of knowing both Logan and Doug
las and is prof ably now the only man liv-
ing who vas with Logan when his change
of heart occurred.
Mr.. Goodell was intimately connected
with the fast-moving events in the early
days of the Civil War. and what he has
written is after the lapse of more than a
quarter CT a century, dispassionate and free
from bias or prejudice. His letter to his
old friend is as follows:
Denver. Cole. March Il. 1S2.-Honorabie
George Judd, Springfield, ILL.,: My Dear
Friend-During my last visit to you. in
talking over old times. Judge Douglass and
General Logan's positions at the commence
ment of the war were discussed: in conclu-
sion you insisted upon my writing you

part l took in it
"A few days after the firing on Fort
Sumter 1 concluded to take a trip into the
southern part of the State, and st. Louis.
1 found the Southern sentiment very strong
In both localities. Governor Yates called
the Legislature together in special ses-
sion. About that time the Associated
Press dispatches announced that Judge
Douglas had spent the evening before with
President Lincoln and that he. then told
Mr.. Lincoln he would support his admin
istration. On reading the dispatch 1 i'm
mediately telegraphed Judge Douglas that
II the dispatch was reported correctly 1

Legislature q supposed that he would have
dispatches from all over the State of the
same import, but he said on his arrival at
Springfield that mine was the only dispatch
he had received on the subject.
Il then invited Judge and Mrs. Douglas

after the Legislature convened. After
breakfast Douglas said: 'Goodell, / would

American House, and he sympathizes with

Judge Douglas wanted. He said: Certain

the friends he wants / invited about twen-

General Logan was one of them.
Logan Hesitation Was Marked.
when We got to the room all were there
but three. and Logan was one of the three.
Logan, when l invited him. said he would
not attend and did not want to meet Judge
Douglas.
Judge Douglas conferred with these sen-
tlemen all the forenoon. Many of the men,
bers from Southern Illinois agreed with
Logan. Douglas gave his views of the sit
uation in strong terms, saying that the
country was not awake to its perils; that
1t was going TO be a great war, and that
Lincoln should call for 600, 600 men instead of
1000.
douglas then went on to say that the
Federal troops ought not to remain at Ar
lington Heights. but should be concentrated
at Manassas. as a few thousand could at
that time hold that point. which would be
very important later on to the Union. He
also said our troops should not stop at
tdllo. III dS last az oiSdiliZtu Siioulu Dt
rushed on to Memphis, as there was a strong
Union sentiment north Of Memphis to hold
that point.
IN the afternoon Douglas met the Re
publican members and others in Governor
Yates's executive office and had a long con-
ference with the leaders of that party.
Judge Douglas made his great speech In the
Statehouse that evening. He said to me
before going to the S~tatehouse: I wish
you would go up to the S:atehouse and
tell McClernand. who is going to preside
over the meeting. to have some one speak
