The Reamsnyder home where the

roof and black streak down the
walls evidencing that the lightning
bolt had really fallen. Mrs. Ream-
snyder and her daughter Rose were
in the sitting room when the flash
came. They were both stricken
dumb and it was about five min

the bolt was returning from his

MEMORIAL SERVICES

AT the Central Christian church
Sunday morning, the Cooper Post
Grand Army of the Republic, the
Woman's IS Relief Corps and the La
dies of the G.. A. r. joined by
the Spanish American War Veter-
ans and Ladies Auxiliary met in
annual memorial service. The
ed:fice was occupied to its seating
capacity and the service was
exceptionally impressive.
Mr.. Mitchell, now of the city
and baritone of no mean ability
sang highly pleasing solo "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic" the
congregation joining in on the cho-
rus.
"The Republic of America and
the Kingdom of God" was the
theme Of the most eloquent dis
course delivered by Rev. b. C.
Piatt. The sermon was to the
point and the words of the ora
tor inspired his hearers with pa
triotic zeal
In the course Of his remarks the
pastor said: "We are met here
this morning after the lapse of al
most half q century since the
terrible conflict of the Civil War
to walk with uncovered heads over
the battle fields of the past, to
linger with you by the smoldering
camp fires and to look with awe
and pity down into the trenches
where the bodies of your comrades
lie fallen. We want TO do this in
loving memorial of your service to
our common country. And, above
all, we want to get at the deeper
meaning of its grim but glorious
teaching. We want to see TODAY
what harvest we have to offer from
the soil that was fertilized by the
rich red blood of the million men
sown with cries and groans and
narrowed in by shot and shell.
We want to reckon what we have
to offset the war debt. the war
widow, the crippled and manned
bodies, a bleeding storm-swept
South, the terror of the recon
struction, and the bloody deed in
Ford s theatre where the life Of
our great Lincoln went out. 4"
From such a soil, with such
seed and with such sowing we
have right to expect a great
yield. The soil and the seed and
the sowing are valuable only as
they bring the fruitage we expect
ed. The day and the hour and the
subject demand that we search for
the spiritual meaning of the vicar
ious offering up of so much prec-
ious life. And so it is that T
speak to You about the war of the
Republic and the war of tile King
dom. -
In concluding Rev. Piatt declar-
ed that since the smoke of the
great wars has lifted. the people
are viewing the question from the
lengthening prospective of fifty
wears and in this Eight, three or
four lessons of paramount import
ance loom large on the moral hori-
zon. The pastor pamed the first
lesson as "The Divine Law OF the
giving up of the individual life for
the common good, " He declared
that all the soldiers present had
offered their lives land were nm
doubleday Just as brave as those
who were less fortunate and were
moved down by the tides of bat
tie.
The speaker named the second
lesson as "The preserving of the
country by the rank and file Of

appreciation Of the leaders and
generals but pictured in glowing

TONIGHT
The Grand Opera House will
be the Scene of Many
Surprises.
The Skeptical will be Forced tC
Believe What They See with
Their Own Eyes,

Tonight at the opera House may be
the only opportunity you will ever
have of witnessing public demon
stratio nof the power of Human Mag
netism as possessed by natural mag
netist. The st. Louis News says Of
his work in that city:
"The hall was crowded beyond its
capacity. Probably 1000 people were
turned away. A few minutes after
the doors of the theatre were closed.
The people still kept coming, how
ever, until they we're crowded clear
out into the street. The police had to
be sent among them to announce that
there was no more room inside. Ev-
cry seat was filed in gallery, balcony
and parduet. The side-aisles were
crowded with standing people. Per-
sons were crowded into the windows
and into the exits. The people re-
mained to the very end of the per-
formance. They watched with the
most intense interest. When re-
markable cures were effected, they
grew enthusiastic and cheered in loud
acclaim. They rejoiced with those
whose pains and sufferings were con-
quered.
Curiosity was satisfied and even the
most skeptical was convinced. The
audience was not only large, but rep
Preventative, though this must not be
interpreted that the poor were alb
sent. They were there in large num-
bers, and they were given preference
! in the treatments. There were pres
ent lawyers, doctors, business men
and, in fact, It is hard 20 say, who
was not there.
The first patient was William Nc
MILAN, of 4l6 East Third street. He
Is an old man. His hair and beard
are white with age. He walked on
lcrutches and was supported to the
stage. 1t was only with the great
est effort that he climbed the steps.
Rheumatic paralysis of the lower
limbs had been his afflMtion for
twenty-five years. But his suffering
and disease fell away from him under
the healing hands. In few moments
he was asked to walk. At first he
was timid and afraid. 1t had been
years since he had essayed steps with
out a cane or crutch. Confidence
came with strength. He stamped his
feet, jumped and ran. Happy as a
boy, he made his way down the steps
unassisted, a practically cured man.
William Taylor, a well known citi-
zen, had suffered three strokes of
paralysis, the last of April, just about
a year ago. He was practically car
ried upon the stage. AS he first rose
to his feet, his steps were hating.
He had so long been used TO Just
dragging along, that the act of walk
| ing had become a past power. But.
with little encouragement, he re-
gained his strength and, with the
nimble grace of a boy, was able TO
go back to his seat in the audience.

he had been deaf. Within ten min

gree Her hearing, which amounted

A ALLIANCE.
That Made by the Doctors and tho
w. c. T. u.

For the purpose of fighting patent"
medicines the doctors, as represent.
ed by the American Medical Associa-
ton, have made an alliance with the
w. C. T. U. who have been deceived
into believing that the alcohol in pat
ent" medicines is a mace In this
alliance the good ladies of the w. G.
T. U. are apparently put in the posi-
ton of dragging chcstnuts out Of the
fire for their allies. There is no class
so firmly convinced of the necessity
for alcohol in medication as the doc
tors who. with a few exceptions, not
only prescribe it freely but use it, as
indeed they must whether they would
prefer to or not, as a solvent and pre-
sentative. On the other hand the
w. G. T. U. contends that the whole
medical and pharmaceutical world Is
in error; that alcohol is not only use
less but that it is dangerous and
harmful in any quantity in any medi-
cinal preparation. While their princi-
pies are so wholly at variance the
doctors and the w. G. T. U. ladies
have cheerfully allied themselves in a
war on patent medicines, and the
w. G.. T. U. is placed in an even more
ridiculous position by reason of the
fact that the doctors do not confine
their fight to those medicines which
contain alcohol, but lump all patent"
medicines in one class. And this, too,
despite the fact that, according to fig
ures printed in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, about
20 per cent of physicians prescrip
tons are for patent" or proprietary"
medicines.
The inability of many physicians
to prescribe any but ready-to-use rem
edies is frequently commented upon
by the medical press, and by physi-
clans of the better class when assem-
bled in conventions. That three
fourths of the physicians graduated
each year in the United States are in
competent and a peril to the COM
munities in which they practice was
charged openly at the annual meeting
of the Committee on Medical Educa-
| lloh VI liz Gal NlSuiSdl <A0oo
citation, held in Chicago in April Of
this year. The total number of grad
yates annually was placed at 1000
which means that at least 5000 in
competents are turned loose annually.
1t was stated at this meeting thai an
average of So per cent of the gradu-
ates from medical colleges failed to
pass state examinations. These fail
ures either go back to school, or go
to some state where the requirements
are not so high.
That many doctors are so ignorant
in matters pertaining to pharmacy
that they know nothing about the
properties of the drugs they prescribe,
was stated by DR.. M, Clayton Thrush,
a professor in the Medico-C hirurgical
| College at Philadelphia in an address
before the Annual Convention of the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City in June of this year.
DR.. Henry Beats, Jr., President of
| the Board of Medical Examination
for the State of Pennsylvania, in an
interview in the daily papers said:
about one quarter of the papers
show a degree of illiteracy that rend-
ers the candidates for ilicensure in
capable of understanding medicine"
He criticizes the colleges for award
ing degrees in these cases.

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict Of Au-
thority Was Vital.

In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:
"Ye cannot serve God and mammal"
