SPRINaFILLf , Ill. , Novontbor 15.-A
eonsational dispatch from , this city in ro-
.lation to Abraham Lincoln's body ap
Ipoar3 in a Chicago paper of this dato.
Its statomonta nro eomo of thorn positive.
t
+ ly untrue , many of thorn unauthorized by
any one having knowledge of the facts ,
, and the whole article is therefore calcu
iatod to mislead people into believing
, , , . . . . , thpt the remains of Abraham Lincoln had
° ; . removed from the massive and
grand structure in which they are popularly -
larly supposed to rest. The State Regis-
for of this city some time ago , in ro-
spmtso to the question , "Whore are the
tomaina of Mr. Lincoln deposited at
presout , and are they turning
to stonol" published the following answer
ever the signature of J C. Powers , ctis-
c todian of the monument :
"A few days previous to the dodica-
tionof the nionumont , October 15 , 1874 ,
the body of Mr. Lincoln was take : frnm
an iron Collin , put in a load one phd
soldered perfectly air-tight , then into a
waoai.n one made of rat rv strips' of
rod 'edar and all put in the marble sar-
.copliaus in the catacomb of 'tho monu-
ment. When the would 'lo robbers
: , visited it on the evening of November 7 ,
6 1870 , they romoded the lid and end piece
" # of the sarcophagus next the door
' and drew the wood and load
+ cofnswith the body enclosed , partly out
, when they wore disturbed by the oflicors
oLtho"United States secret service , who
them but the
\ ; attotnptcd to capture
thieves escaped. Everything / oniainod
-as they leftit until the afternoon of the
second day , when every screw in the
wooden colims was examined , and the
creases in them { vero found , ono and all ,
to be filled with rust , proving beyond
a doubt that neither the
wood nor load coffins hind
been opened. All were then
pushed back into the sarcophagus and it
was cemented perfectly tight as it had
been before their visit. The remains
have navor'beon removed from that to
the present time and all is absolutely
safe.
safe.As to indications of petrification the
idea of any substance in an airtight
lead enclosure turning to stone , no matter -
ter where it may bo placed , is too absur d
for a moments serious thought. Very
respectfully yours. J. C Powim ,
Custodian.
This atatoment ought to sot at rest
. all doubts as to Mr. Lincoln's body
resting in the tomb prepared for it by a n
admiring people and a grateful nation
Those who gaze upon the noble menu '
moat that twers toward heaven , in Oak '
rideo cematry , can rest assured that th °
walls contain all that is left of the graa t
' emancipator. An Associated Press reporter '
ter called on Mr. Powers this evening t
ask nim if lie had any reply to make t I
the sensational dispatch , referred t 0
above. Ho } aid that his card publishe dd
by Tlo State Register embrace d
the facts as the public
was entitled to know then and that h °
had but these words to say in addition +
in reply to the statement in the dispatc ]
that the flesh had fallen from the bones
No part of the remains of Abraha sn
Lincoln have been s mcn by mortal eye a
81:100 they were soldered up m the lea c
October 9 , 187'1 , two years befor
the attempt of the thieves to steal th
body. As I have already said they ar a
absolutely safe just as they were place
in the coflin many years ago.

A disease called "swoll.head" has

both : men and animals. Tito cause is a
fungus which is supposed to first grow
upon a vegetable. It is Eaton with the
food of time minimal and obtains root in
time bone tlrougl : cavities in the tooth.
The plant is a vegetable rclativo of time

which is as bad as cancer mmd platbiais ,

doctors call the plant actinpmSCoa'
limo disease aotinomycosis , Dr , ' Lt1Oold.
in a lengthy report of his fnrestigatimn
of the Chicago caso5 say's that tlmirty
cases in human beings Nava already boom
reported by Germrat observora , and
adds :
In inn time diseasa presents a soma-
'mvlsnt ' different aspect than that .observed
m cattle. In many oases it begins as a
swelling of the law , and it has been dom.
oustrated that in time human animnl at
] east time parasite gains entrance to time
body through Limo cavities of carious
teeth , In other cases time tumor appears

arum-in fact , a scratclm aywiloro uponan
exposed surface of the body soma a pos.

but rapidly spreads to time iutormal
orgmma of tbo chest mad abdotnmt ; in
t many cauos time spinal colunm is also in-
vadcd by time parasites , IIomice time synip-
torus presented by the patient vary extremely -
tromely and often sunulate those of oilier
diseases , In nearly all cases thus fare
' affection has been
e reportod'tle supposed
to be blood-poisoning ( pymniia ) , pleurisy ,
inflammation of the bowels , Potts' ' disease
s of time spine , vte. , the true nature of time
cmnplaint having boon rocogmiized only
' + y a pont nmortyui examination. Hence
it is highly probable timat the F
d disease frequently attacks human
beings resident in Infected districts
but la not recognized , and is called by
e some other memo. Human boinga soon
r to afford a more favorable soil than cattle -
- tlo for time grswtlt of tine plant , since in
