The Boy Phenomenon has been in
Marion nearly six weeks, daily proving
and demonstrating the great power he
possesses by which he has cured hum
dreds of cases that had deiied al 9th
er forms of treatment. But there are
still a great many who doubt the
permanency of these cures They
admit the cures are accomplished,
as in many instances they were eye
witnesses to their magical transfor-
nations, but they are afraid they
are not lasting. The doctor has in
his possession over 400 sworn tes-
timonials from patients who have
been cured Of chronic diseases during
the past ten years, and All of whom
with only Perceptions Lave remained
well ever since. Besides the testi-
monials that have already been pub
lished in our daily papers, he has
scores of others from among our best
citizens, which will continue to be
published from day to day, all at
from the hands Of the Boy Phenom-
enon, thus proving beyond any pos
sibility of doubt that his cures are
as permanent as they are marvellous,
Although the names and addresses
of many cured patients have been
published In the last five weeks for
the sole purpose of affording the skep-
tlcal an opportunity TO investigate
their truth, talk with tnem see with
their own eyes and hear the story
from their own lips; still there are
some who yet doubt their perman-
ncy.
II Is in order to convince this class
that magnetism does cure more quick
ly, positively and permanently than
by any other method, that he has de-
parted from his usual custom of in
creasing prices after the first two
weeks, or when fifty cures have
been made, and instead thereof the
reduced prices have been continued
one more week, but next week ends
the low fees, as after next week his
regular prices will be charged.
To further convince those who
fear the cures are not of lasting
nature, a dozen names Of people who
have ben cured the past six years
were selected at random from pile
of over l,40O, and written to- inQulr-
ing If they were still cured. Space
forbids the publication of these re-
plies, as some of the answers are sew
eral pages in length, every line teem-
ing with heartfelt expressions of
praise and gratitude to their beloved
benefactor, who transformed then
from the slough of dependency, mis-
cry and suffering, to . life of health
and happiness. But the names and

Suicide as panacea for earthly
troubles held to be unbearable has been
practiced by man since the dawn OF
history. There comes a time with
many tried soul when, battered down
again and again by misfortune, the
great haunting question, What is the
use?" can not be banished from mind
Ingratitude Of relatives or friends, sick
ness that is felt to be ultimately in
durable, poverty, and worst of all,
nature and spirit too constitutionally
weak to fight the rebuffs Of careless
world, all pave the way to contempla-
ton Of self-destruction. This state OF
mind comes-as experience shows-to
high and low and rich and poor. The
reason of the one is not the reason OF
the other. but the desire for final
rest is the same. One good hopeful
friend and one good hopeful talk at
the proper time, will pull the despair
ing one thru the dark valley of the
shadow. Without 1.-THE splash at the

Ames March 15.-The city council
of Ames held special meeting to pass
upon an ordinance giving the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines & Southern rail-
road the right-ofway on 0nondaga
street. the main business street of the
city. The council voted unanimously
to adopt the ordinance subject to the
approval of the people at a special
election to be called April s. This or
dinance will give the railroad company
the privilege OF using the main street
it's entire length, but in passing this
one the council revokes the former
contract whereby the company held
Story street it's entire length. The re-
vocation of this ordinance makes 1t
necessary for the company to make a
loop of two instead of one block In
case they wish to run a loop down
town. From the conditions in the con-
tract, 1t would seem that Ames has a
good show of an interurban in the near
future, for the ordinance calls for the
