/ EssARY.
A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
Theodore Palmer, Pit Foreman in =
Brazil Mine, Said to be Defying Phy.
sicians, While His Little Daughter is
Dying from a Humorous Growth.

Centerville, Dec 4.--(SpeciaL)--
While doctors say his little 4-year-old
child is slowly dying when a slight op-
Grafton would save it's life, Theodore
Palmer. prominent Christian Scien-
tist, Of Brazil, a mining town near
here, is reported to be relying on the
faith of himself and fellow believers to
restore health to the child. A growth
OF the nature of tumor on the child's
neck and beneath the cheek is slowly
closing its throat and doctors who
have examined it say death of slow
and lingering nature is certainly COM
ing, but while the mother is said tc be
almost distracted and wanting an ope-
ration performed the father is said to
hold the position that either Christian
Science will restore the child or medi-
cine and doctors could not save it.
Result of the Mumps.
About four months ago the Palmer
cnild had the mumps and from that
time forward the growth began to de-
velop on her neck. AS it became larg-
er the mother became concerned and
finally called DR.. Mcfarland, of Cen
terville, who examined the growth and
expressed the opinion that an opera
ton would speedily remove the difficult
ty. But before operating he asked her
to consult her husband and call him
by telephone when they were ready
The neighbors say the husband was
cons,i2ted hut weuid not hear to any
| doctor coming into his house on such
mission when he had been one of
| the chief expounders of Christian Sci
ence in his town and community and
an advocate OF faith healing. 1t is
said that he has frequently assisted in
Christian Science meetings, his father
by adoption, Mr.. Phillips. of Brazil. be-
| ing one Of the first adherents of the be.
| lief in the state and often conducting
meetings.
| Neighbors Ask for Operation
/, When it was seen the father was
averse to an operation. and that the
mother felt reluctant to go contrary to
the will of her husband. though not
la Christian Scientist herself, the
neighbors are said to have sought
means to induce the father to allow
some relief to be applied. 1t is report
ed they offered to pay for the operation
and in other ways attempted to find
relief for the little sufferer, but thus
/ far have been unsuccessful.
I. Condition of the Child.
AT present the little girl can barely
swallow thin soup when It is placed in
her throat back of the obstruction, and
i it is said that it is but the matter OF q
/ few days when she must die. The
father is pit foreman at the Oriental
mine, and well known in this county.

Heavy Vote PolIed.

That the campaign has been hard
fought one is clearly shown by tne
exceptionally large vote polied. Inc
total vote was 1885, but $50 less than
the vote cast for governor in the last
general election, November 3.
II was almost impossible TO deter
mine which way the election was go
ing until after the polls had been CLOS
ed and the votes counted. The matter
could not be determined along par
tisan lines and not until the returns
from several of the wards were re-
ceived was it known for certain that
the proposition had carried.
Crowd Awaits Returns.
The returns were received at the
Courier Office and a crowd Of several
hundred people anXiously awaited the
news from the various wards. fully
as much interest was shown as during
the recent general election, and when
the returns from the fifth and seventh
wards were received it was seen that
these wards which were thought to
be the strongholds of the faction
against the franchise, had given but
little majorities to that side and that
the election was safely carried for the
franchise. a cheer went UP from the
large crowd. Fl
Water Discussion At An End.
The people were glad to see tie mat,
ter settled. For the past three years,
the waterworks question in the city
has been in an unsettled state. The
matter has been UP almost continual
ly before the city council and before
the people who were beginning to be
heartily tired of the waterworks ques'
ton. The ratification of the franchise
was to the majority OF the people a
matter of congratulation. because il
means the end of the unsettled condi
ton in which the city has been fol-
some time past. and it means the as
surance of a supply OF water for fire
protection and sanitary purposes.
