' It is now believed at Valparaiso that

very much smitten with Mrs. Hinkle
when she was Miss Addle Edwards,

for which it was donated to the state
of Nebraska by the state of Tennessee
through Governor Turney, ‘fit posies
as a testimony of respect Which the
people of Tennessee have for the mem
ory of the martyred president. The
presentation of the mai ole to Governor
Turney at Knoxville seems to have
been celebrated with all sincerity and
the letter received by Governor Hol

the block is kind and generous, lire
stone will be thankfully received by

In four of these counties there'is on in

oreaaa in the sixteen of 91.OOS.OOOi At
the same ratio of decrease'the Whole
•state will fall off 90,500.000. The total
valuation of taxable property -in 1803
was 9104.000.000: in 1894, 9183,000,000. !
Estimated valuation for 1800 is 9164,* i

CONTROL Of NEXT SENATE

Concord, N. H., June 29.—United
States Senator GalHnger said yester
day: ‘-I fear for Republican control of
the Senate. The full senate now
numbers ninety members, and we shall
need forty-six for a majority, though,
inasmuch as the existing vacancy in
Kentucky will continue until 189'J, we
can get along during the next con
gress with forty-five. We have now
forty-four senators who are nominally
Republicans, but of these, five—Sen
ators Teller, Dubois, Carter, Mantle
and Cannon—refused to act with us in
the passage of the Dingley emergency
tariff last winter,and 1 suppose we must
now add to them Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota, because he left the St.
Louis conventiou with other Breeders.
This reduces us to thirty-eight
struightout Rcpublicansjwho are for
protection as against protection yoked
with free silver, and we shall need
seven more to enable us to pass the
revenue bill, which the country de
mands. Some of our gainsi are already
made, as in Maryland and Ohio, and
we shall elect In New York, Illinois
and Wisconsin. This will give us
forty-three, or two short of a - major
ity. Among our danger spots we
must include North Carolina Sena
tor Pritchard’s seat is likely to be lost,
because he was first chosen by a fusion
movement, which probably will be
hard to effect again. In Uta'* also,
there is danger of losing senator
Brown, who refused to act with the
sliver men in deadlocking the Dingley
bill, and who nowbas been confronted
with an iBSue in his fight for re-elec
tion, which will either defeat or cause
him to coalesce with Senator Cannon
in a policy of opposition. In Colorado
Senator Wolcott >s in similar danger,
as he has been subject to veuomous
criticism because he would not go so
far as Senator Teller in his devotion
to tho white metal. Add to this the
not altogether remote chance of los
ing a Republican Senator in North
Dakota and California, and the claims
of the Democrat's that we cannot elect
in either -Kansas or Illinois, and the
outlook is not rosy. I must admit
that I cannot now satisfactorily out-'
line the method by which we shall be
able to hold the Senate for a protciy
tive tariff without a free silver rider.”

ALMOST PARALYZED.,
INTENSE SUFFERING PO'R YEARS' ^
Ihe Remarkable Testimony of a HasbandL
and Wife to the Virtues of Dr. William***
Pink Pills for Pale People. ^
t
From the Wave, Odell, Nebraska.
A reporter of the WAve having
heard of the great faith Mr. and Mrs.
I. O. Brace, of Odell, Nebraska, have
in the curative properties of Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, de- '
termined to see the parties in person,
and ascertain the truth of the reports.
With that purpose in view a drive
was taken to their fine farm a few
miles west of town, where Mrs. Brace
was found busily engaged in assisting
her husband make wire fence. No
doubt noticing our surprise, she apolo
gized, saying "that the children were
old enough to be of much help with the
housework, and she thus had time to*
assist her husband.
"But is it possible that you have re
covered so as to do work requiring the
constant use of your arms, without,
suffering?” asked the reporter.
This question elicited the following,
wonderful story: “I do not wonder
that you are surprised, said Mrs.
Brace, for as every one in this vicinity
knows for several years I was .nearly
crippled and suffered constantly from
rheumatism.' When I first felt the at
tack I got medicine from a local phy
sician, but instead of getting better ■
X grew worse, until I suffered intense,
agony, which no one who has not had
the dread disease can understand. In
hopes of relief, leading physicians in
other towns were consulted, and they
all agreed in pronouncing it a severe- ,
case of muscular rheumatism, and as
their prescriptions were taken month
after month without beneficial results, .
they ceased to give . encouragement, .
and said that I was gradually becoin- •
lng paralyzed.
“I had by that time become so crip
pled that I had to give up all work,.
and the only way I could carry my
right arm was in an upright position.
Any attempt to lower it caused ex
cruciating pain. Constant suffering:
caused general debility, and life seemed1,
too great a burden to bear. It is saidl
a drowning man will catch at a straw,,
and so it was in my case, as I read a.
testimonial in a newspaper I happened!
to pick up, of a case similar to mine,
which had been cured by Pink Pills
for Pale People pnd I determined 16
give them a trial, _ L _ ^
"I admit my faith was weak, fi* ft
had always been prejudiced against :
so-called patent medicines, but by the*
time I had taken three boxes,the relief
was so apparent that I determined to»
continue their use. In a few weeks my
general health improved, and I could1
move my arm without difficulty, and!
by the time ten boxes had been used If
felt better than I had for years, and I
can now say with confidence that I pm.
cured. I always keep the pills in the
house and take a box of them every
spring as a blood purifier, and at any -
time that I take e<?!J and fear a returns
p{ jny. Jill trouble.”. . "..r If <■ _
.. ConUiiuing, Bit Brace said: “I give'
all the credit of my recovery to Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, 4
and both my husband and I shall al
ways be ready to speak in their praise..
We tell our neighbors on every occa
sion of their virtues, and if you think
this is sufficient Interest we will be glad
to have this testimonial made public,,
hoping that it may be of benefit to
those who otherwise would be life-long
SUff?rerg.”4 , . ... . . • -
Ttt confirm her story beyond , all
doubt, Mrs. Brace made affidavit.
Subscribed and sworn to before me,.

day of March, 1896.
