A COLUSION IN FLORIDA.
CONDUCTOR JOHN A. DACOBTA OF
JACKSONVILLE KILLED.
One of the Engineers so Stupefied by
Lack of Sleep That He Paid No Heed
to the Warning of Ki 6 Fireman—He
Is Under Arrest.
Tall.aHa.ssee, Fla., Sept. 9. —At 4:30
o’clock this morning the Florida Central
and Peninsular road’s trains Nos. 9 and 16
collided just east of Chaires station, and
Conductor John A. DaCosta of Jackson
ville was killed. A statement made by
Br&keman Havell shows culpable negli
gence on the part of Engineer J. J. Mc-
Donough, anew man on the road, and he
has been arrested and lodged in jail. His
commitment trial will probably be held to
morrow. t'baires is the meeting point, and
instead of running in on the siding Engineer
McDonough ran through on the main line
at a speed of about fifteen miles per hour.
Conductor DaCosta signaled him to stop,
but be paid no attention.
THE ENGINEER SEEMED DAZED.
The fireman said he told Engineer Mc-
Donough three times that they were run
ning into Chaires and must side-track there
for No. 9 to pass, but he seemed dazed and
did not answer, but pulled the throttle open
and dragged the train through with brakes
on. Seeing that the train could not be
stopped on time the employes on both
jumped off and none were hurt save Con
ductor DaCosta. As be leaped from the
train he stumbled and fell beneath the
wheels, his lower left leg being crushed and
his body drugged some dis'ance. He lived
a few hours after the accident and was still
alive when doctors Brelton and Gambell
reached the scene from Tallahassee, but
died soon after from loss of blood.
THE DAMAGE TO THE ROLLING STOCK.
The engines locked horns, and the wood
work on one was badly snattered. Two box
cars are shivered into fragments. The
track was cleared in time for the westbound
passenger train to pass this afternoon.
Engineer McDonough, being anew man
on the road, has not studied his time-table
closely enough, and says he thought the
meeting point was at Lloyd. He had just
come in from Jacksonville on an all-night
run and was sent back on this train without
having any sleep, and some find excuse for
his seeming carele saess by saying that he
was stupid from want of sleep.
WALKED TO TALLAHASSEE.
Immediately after the collision he went
to the engine, got out his clothes and
tramped to Tallahassee, not even stopping
to shut off steam. When arrested by Sher
iff Peace he seemed stupefied and could give
no connected story of the accident.
The wife of the dead conductor came
from Jacksonville, and she and Charles
DaCosta, his cousin, who was here, accom
panied the remains to Jacksonville.
PIN HI LANDS IN DEMAND.
Those Around Thomasville Have
Jumped to $3 Per Acre.
Thomasville, Ga.. Sept. 9.—Pine timber
lands in this section are rapidly increasing
In value. There is a large tract of fine tim
ber north of this city, comprising a good
part of Thomas and all of Colquitt county.
Until within a year or so these lands were
considered almost valueless. Tens of thou
sands of acres of virginjtimber and good dry
farming lands could have been bought at
50 cents, and oftentimes much less, per
acre. AH this is now changed.
They have risen steadily, until now
they cannot be bought less then
three dollars! per acre in any consider
able quantity. The increasing scarcity of
virgin timber has had something to do with
this, but the projected railroads through
this section have stimulated pric-s most.
The turpentine men have already pene
trated these wilds, and are preparing to
blaze the way for others to come after
them.
A HIGH WIND.
There was a severe windstorm her# about
1 o’clock Sunday morning. The storm blew
a large number of strange water birds all
about the city. Tnelr frightened cry oonld
easily be heard above the noise of the wind,
and was piteous to hear.
A NEW LOAN ASSOCIATION.
Thomasville is to have another building
and loan association. It is proposed to make
it a large and extensive institution, and to
do all the kinds of business now done by
such companies. Articles of incorporation
have been filed by Snodgrass & Hawkins,
petitioners’ attorneys. The association will
begin business with 500 shares of par value
of SIOO each, with privilege to increase to
10,000 shares. The head office will be in
Thomasville, and branch offices may be
established elsewhere.

Married at Augusta.
Avgusta, Ga., Sept. 9.—John T. Evans,
bookkeeper for the co-operative grocery

Croak of this city at St. Patrick's church
to-day. Her father, James Croak, was for

ters in Augusta, and her uncle, Edmund
Croak, has been the loading merchant and

past. He to-day presented the bride with

Meets at Albany.
Albany, Ga., Sept. 9.—The Tenth dis
trict senatorial convention met here to-day

cording to the rotation rule it is Lee
county’s time to name the candidate. The
convention was called to order at 12 o’clock,
and two names were presented for nomina
tion, W. C. Gill and J. L. Ferguson, both

business was lockod hard and fast, and the
body adjourned late this afternoon until 6
o’clock to-morrow morning. CoL G. W.
Warwick and J. T. Johnson of Smitbville
are b.ith spoken of on the streets to-night as
dark horse 6 but simon-pure democrats.
CROPS AROUND CAMERON.
Cotton Damaged 30 Per Cent, by
Drought and Rust.
Cameron, Ga., Sept. 9.—Your corre
spondent has just returned from an ex
tended trip throughout the southern part of
this county, and finds the cotton crop dam
aged fully 30 per cent., owing to drought
and rust. Cotton pickers ore in urgent
demand, commanding from til) cents to $1
per hundred pjuuds.
Many farmers positively assert that they
will have all of their cotton harvested and
sold in two weeks if the hands can be pro
cured to promote gathering. The cane crop
is unusually fine. Only a very fair yield of
potatoes is anticipated.
Augusta’s New Chief of Police.
Augusta, Ga., Sept, 9.—First Lieut.
George Hood, of the police force was to-day
made chief for the unexpired term of Chief
Twiggs, deceased, by the board of police

Eastman. Ga., SeDt. a— L. A. Hall, a
land lawyer, announced himself to-day as
a candidate for rerepresentive to the legis
lature from Dodge county.
WELAKA WAIFS.
Something About the Coming Crop of
Oranges.
Welaka. Fla., Sept. 9.—Many state
ments are seen in the papers of late regard
ing the present crop of oranges, some <>f
which are misleading. A reliable way to
get a fair statement would be through the
medium of your popular jiaper. From the
most reliable sources of information Florida
will not produce more than 1,000,090
to 1,500,001 boxes of fruit this season,
or about one half of last season’s crop.
This statement is secured t.y the most cor
rect methods now attainable. It is gathered
from reports from every orange growing
county in the state. Putnam county will
fur..ish about ha fas much as it did last
year, and it is one of the best in the state.
‘The fact that $1 50 per box is now offered
for oranges on the trees is as good i dication
as one needs that toe crop is short. The
exaggerated rep rts are mainly given life
by the northern dealers.
BEARING THE MARKET.
They make these wild, high figures in
order to buy at low prices. The fact is, the
orange growers am posted relative to the
short truit crop all over the country, and
tcey intend to got every cent the oranges
are"worth. They ate well provided with
the moans for disposing of their oranges,
and owe their good fortune in that respect
to the fruit exchange, and Orange Growers
Union. Many say they will not contract
now at any price, but tullv intend bolding
the crop until late in February or March,
and run all risk of disasters, claiming tnut
should they lose one-half by a freeze, the
other part would more than make up the
loss, which is true. The crop is mos ly on
old bearing tre. s, and they were nearly all
cut back by the March freeze, while the
young trees, j ust commencing to boar, were
putting on such a rank growth that the
fruit was about all destroyed. It wiU be
shown to be a fact that there is only about
half a crop, but growers will realize as
much as the full crop of last vear. The
season is fine for all crops raised .here, and
Florida never looked better.
TALLAHASSEE TOPICS,
Cotton Coming Into Market at a Lively
Kate—A Batoh of Appointments.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 9.—Notwith
standing the shortness of the cotton crop in
this county that staple is coming into
market at a rapid rate. The farmers’
alliance is strong here, but so far not a bale
has come in wrapped in any other covering
than jute. It was said early in the season
that the alliance would secure a sufficient
supply of cotton bagging to wrap their
crop, but have not as yet done so. Perhaps
the low price of jute bagging has had some
thing to do with it. However, they may
get in a stock of the cotton bagging later in
the season.
LARGE CROPS OF CANE.
The farmers generally report extra large
crops of sugar caue and sweet potatoes,
which will go a long way in making up for
the shortage in the cotton crop.
Capt. Patrick Houstoun, who will have
charge of the live stock department
of the Aliiauoe Exposition at Ocala
in December, will send out a young man in
a few days to make a thorough canvass of
the county for the purpose of getting the
farmers interested. He hopes to cirry a
fine display of horses and cattle from this
county.
APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR.
Gov. Fleming has mado the following ap
pointments: John E. Maxwell of Pensacola,
to be notary public for the state at large,
H. H. Thornton of Pensacola, to be in
spector of timber and lumber for Escambia
county, Geo. W. Fletcher of New Troy to
be treasurer of Lafayette countv, vice A.
J. Winburn resigned, C. M. Wheeler of
White Springs, to bo justice for District
four of Hamilton county.
CANDLER OHIP3.
The Rainy Season—A Matrimonial
Wave.
Candler, Fla., Sept. 9.—The usual Sep
tember rains bave set in, to the great relief
of gardenors and others, as the August
drought was severe, otviug to the extreme
heat.
The registration books for the county
have been sent out by Supervisor Gregg,
and the lists are being made out, James N.
Marshall lias boon appointed district regis
tering officer for this (the Twonty-fifth) dis
trict.
A matrimonial wave has fairly swept
over the community within the past few
weeks. The latest marriage is that of F.
M. Hanshaw and Mrs. Lou Ellison, both of
this place.
Mrs. E. M. Dußoso of Darien, Ga.,'who
spent the summer with relatives here, has
returned home.
Farmers will begin gathering corn now
and saving crabgrass hay. A few yoars
ago the immense crops of crabgrass were
allowed to rot in the fields, but now nearly
enough hay is saved to to do from one sea
son to another. The prospect is fine for an
immense crop of sweet potatoes in this sec
tion.
A COLORED PREACHER KILLED.
A Whisky Bottle and a Pistol Found
Beside His Remains.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 9.—Rev. J. S.
Griffin, a heretofore leading colored
preacher in the African Methodist
Episcopal church, was killed on the
railroad track near here last night.
Griffin had just returned on au excur
sion from Brunswick, and was walking
on the track when struck by an incoming
train. The night policeman, who was sum
moned to him, states that a pistol was
found in his pocket, and a broken flask of
whisky was found where he first fell. His
arm was cut off aud his head crushed, and
death was instantaneous.
A FIREMAN SHOT.
Two Members of the Macon Depart
ment Quarrel and One is Dying.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 9.—Capt. J. W.
Vaughn, of Engine Company No. 1, and
Ben Bowers, assistant engineer of Company
No. 2, had a fight yesterday over some
petty dispute concerning the relative merits
of i heir two companies. They were sep
arated and nothing more thought of it.
To-night Mr. Vaughn wont to the engine
house where Bowers was stationed and re
newed the quarrel, which ended in his firing
four shots at Bowers. Two of the shots
took effect and tho wounded man is sure to
die. The affair created a sensation.
ME. INMAN EXONERATED.
A Buit to Recover $2,000,000 Will be
Discontinued.
From the New York World, Sept. 5.
The last chapter in the story of the suit of
ex-Ser.at ir Thomas C. Platt, as president of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,
against John 11. luman and several others
for the recovery of $2,000,000, was written
yesterday. It was in the shape of a state
ment signed by Mr. Platt and four other
officials of the Tennessee Coal aud Iron
Company, who were a special committee
appointed to investigate tho charges against
Mr. Inman on which the suit was claimed
to be based. In this statement these gentle
moa say:
‘‘ln our opinion Messrs. Inman, Shook
and Baxter acted honorably and fairly in
the transaction, which greatly benefited'the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany, and we therefore unanimously recom
mend that the committee be discharged and
that the board of directors should resolve
ttiat Messrs. luman, Shook and Baxter are
completely exonerated from all blame in
the premises.”
The directors received aud adopted this
statement, which was in the nature of a
report, and discharged the committee. The
charges were, briefly, that Mr. Inman and
his friends when in control of tho Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company had profitod them
selves at the oxpease of tho company.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1890.
RESIT,MISSION IN KANSAS
TWO STATE CONVENTIONS HELD
AT WICHITA.
One the Democratic and the Other
That of the License Faction of the
Republicans A Joint Committee
Drafts the Resolution on the Liquor
Question.
Wichita, Kan., Sept 9.—The demo
cratic and resubmission state convention
met here to-day. The resubmissionists
compose a faction of the Republican party
which oppose prohibition, favor high license
and is striving to obtain through the legilas
ture resubmission of the prohibitory amend
ment to a vote of the people. To attain
tbe-to ends they formed a separate party
and fused with the democrats. Both con
ventions met at the same hour in different
halls.
THE RESUBMISSIOXIST RALLT.
Three hundred delegatee attended the
resubmissionut republican convention. D.
A Kanton of Great Bend was chairman.
The platform was prepared after consulta
tion with the committee on resolutions of
the democratic convention. It renews the
pledge of unwavering loyalty to the
principles of the National Republican party,
favors reciprocity, demands free coinage of
silver, such modifications of the tariff laws
as will give protection to agriculture and
manufactures, an equitable bankrupt law,
liberal appropriations for a deep waver
harbor on the Gulf of Mexico, and liberal
pension laws. Oil the question of prohibi
tion the platform says:
We arraign the part y managers in this state as
disloyal to the prtncu les and unfaithful to the
Interests of the Republican party. We charge
that they have put the party in Kansas out of
harmony with the National Republican party
and thereby absolved us from all obli
gations to longer acknowledge their leader
ship. Lured by seductive wiles of impractical
visionaries they have committed the party
to extravagances and follies which, unless
promptly checked, will bankrupt and depopu
late the state. These things impel us. as the
only meti od which promises success, to sink
party preference to state politics for a
time and unite our efforts with such
of our fellow citizens of the state as
share our convictions without regard
to party, for the purpose of correcting the follies
into which we bave betrayed and thus preserve
the good name and iusure the future prosperity
of the state. We believe that too much tempta
tion is a curse, and are in favor of complete re
vision of the Kansas statutes with a view to the
correction of those laws, which are imperfect,
and the elimination of all that are superfluous
and not generally enforced We are opnosed
to prohibition. A ten years’ trial ha-s demon
strated its total inefficiency as a temperance
measure; that is a revival of an obsolete
peternal form of government, and entirely op
posed to the genius and spirit of the age: that
it is at enmity with the fundamental principles
of our civilization and destroys that inalienable
right of the citizen to determine for himself by
what method he will preserve his owu happi
ness without interference with the rights of
others, which principle is the basis of our
liberties and tne hops of our institutions; that
it is un-American, unrepunlican and undemo
cratic, and not in harmony with the purposes
and spirit of our institutions and laws: that
the existence of the prohibitory law is a per
petual menace of the material interests of the
state; that it burdens us with taxation; that it
deprives us of all control of the liquor traffic
and the revenue therefrom; that i„ drives away
population; that it prevents Immigration; that
it makes the building of large cities within the
stale impossible; that it encourages perjury;
that it does not empty the jails, penitentiaries,
lunatic asylums or alms bouses, Believing that
any public measures in the hands of an en
lightened people are absolutely safe, we demand
that the question of the repeal of the prohibi
tory amendment to the constitution be submit
ted to all the people at as early a day as possi
ble.
The,platform further declares in favor of
high licenso and strict laws for the regula
tion of the liqnor traffic. In conclusion the
platform says:
Relying upon the justness of our case, we in
vite the co-operation of liberal-minded! men
throughout the state, and with their help the
success of the cause of the people will be as
sured and a now ora of prosperity will dawn
upon the state.
The plan of fusion of the democrats and
resubmissionists, provided for the naming
of the governor and lieutenant governor by
the latter, and the rest of the ticket by the
former. When the convention pro
ceeded to nominations, ex-Gov.
Robinson was the only candidate for gover
nor. He was nominated by acclamation.
D. A. Banta was nominated for lieutenant
governor. The convention took a recess to
await the action of the demo
cratic convention. After the latter con
vention had carried out their part of
the programme by nominating Messrs.
Robinsou and Banta and naming candidates
for the other office, the convention re
assembled, indorsed the ticket and then
adjourned.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The democratic convention was called to
order by Edward Carroll, chairman of the
state central committee. After prayer
John S. Sheridan was elected temporary
chairman and S. W. McCarlin temporary
secretary. Committees were appointed,
and a recess taken until*2 o’clock. During
the recess the committee on resolutions
appointed a subcommittee to meet with a
likec immittee from the resubmissionists on
resolutions. Upon reassembling the demo
cratic convention mode its temporary
organization permanent, and adopted a
report from the committee on resolutions.
THE RESUBMISSION PLANK.
The plank in regard to resubmission is as
follows:
We appose all sumptuary legislation and de
mand the earliest resubmission of the so-called
Drobibitory amendment to a vote of the people,
and an immediate repeal of those laws passed
in the interest of prohibition, which tax a por
tion of the people to pay for their deprivation
of that privilege and inalienable right of local
government, and we declare unequivocally for
high license aad local option.
SOME OK THE OTHER PLANKS.
Other planks are as follows:
We arraign the repulibcan members of the
national House of Representatives from Kansas
for tbeir unanimous vote for the McKinly bill
We declare the federal elections bill the legiti
mate offspring of the party which filcned the
presidency.
We favor a tariff 1 aw based upon public ne
cessities and not the greed of capital.
We favor free coinage of silver.
We favor leaving of the circulating medium
wholly in the hands of the government.
We favor liberal pension laws.
We express sympathy with labor in its strug
gle with insatiate money power, whether in the
lactory or on the farm."
EVILS OF PROHIBITION.
Wo believe that prohibition has brought upon
the people of this state incalculable injury, has
produced a. its legitimate result perjury an l
bribery, has corrupted the foundations of jus
tice, and made even our courts a disgrace to the
administration of justice. Wo declare emphati
cally in favor of high license aud local option.and
recommeud a law providing that for each license
issued lor the sale . f liquor ssuo shall be given
the county treasury for the purpose of making
uni improving the county roads, and the mu
nicipaliiy may, in addition, fix such other sum
as the mayor and council may decide.
CHOOSING A TICKET.
The convention then proceeded to nomi
nate a ticket. There were two candidates
for governor, ex-Gov. Charles E. Robin
son, a resubinissionist, and ex-Gov. Glick,
a straightout democrat-, and the only demo
cratic governor ever elected in the state.
When the determination to fuse with the
resubmissionists became evident, ex-Gov.
Glick withdrew and ex-Gov. Robinson was
nominated by acclamation. The nomiuee
was tho first governor elected after
the admission of Kansas. He
was then elected as a republican. In
1882 he ran for governor on the greenback
ticket, and recently was one of the leaders
in the formation of tho resubmissiou Repub
lican party. The ticket was completed as
follows:
For Lieutenant Governor—D. A. Bsnk of
Great Bond.
For Treasurer—Thomas Kirby of Abi
lene.
For Auditor—Joseph Dillon of Kearney
county.
For Superintendent of Public Instruction
—M. 11. Wood of Anderson county.
For Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
M. B. Nicholson of Geary county.
The cons cut ion then adjourned.
At the evening session the ticket was com
pleted as follows:
For Secretary of State—F. T. Lindholm
of Stillwater.
For Auditor—Adolph Bierbam of Olm
stead oounty.
For Treasurer—Charles M. Foote of Min
neapolis.
For Clerk of the Supreme Court—F.
O’Hair of Traverse county.
John Ives, the farmers’ affiance candidate
for attorney general ,was indorsed for that
office and bis name inserted in the ticket.
MINNESOTA'S DEMOCRATS.
Thomas Wilaon Nominated for Gov
ernor—The Platform.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 9.—The demo
cratic state convention to-dav nominated
Thomas Wilson of Winona for governor,
and E. G. Pahl of Brown county for lieu
tenant governor. The platform says in
part:
Re denounce the recent attempt of the re
publicans in congress to usurp power; to Inspire
unjust taxation: to stifle proper discussion of
public measures: to substitute the dictatorship
of the sneaker of the House for the considerate
action of s deliberative assembly; to enact into
law monstrous proposals for overturning tbe
elections laws of the slates and substituting for
local supervisors of election mercenary and un
scrupulous agents of the Republicau party.
THE TARIFF FLASK.
We demaDd a reduction of all tariff mxes to
to the lowest rate compatible with a Just dis
charge of tbe obligations resting upon the
federal government, and so long as a system of
customs taxation is maintained that it shall
consist of a tariff for revenue
only. We congratulate the republican party
upon the recent concessions to the demo
cratic policy involved in the advocacy by cer
tain eminent republican leaders of .that plan of
free commercial exchanges with certain foreign
countries which is known as reciprocity. This
form of free trade has formerly operated to the
vast advantage of the people of the United
States under reciprocity treaties with Canada
and the Sandwich Islands. It can be wisely
extended.
We stigmatize the principal features of the
measure now pending In the federal congress
under the name of tue McKinley bill as unjust
and unnecessary to the already excessive bur
dens of federal taxation.
The democracy of the state of Minnesota, in
convention assembled, express anew their ap
preciation and approval of the broad states
mauship, steadfast and unswerving devotion to
right, principle and heroic, self-sacr flees of
Grover Cleveland in compelling consideration
by the people of the vital question of tariff
reform. He forced the Republican party to
remove the mask behind which its leaders
had hidden their purpose to use the taxing
power to build up wealthy classes upon which
they could rely for money wherewith they could
corrupt voters and gain control of the govern
ment. We send to him in his honorable retire
ment as a simple citizen of the great republic
assurance of our profound respect and esteem.

BULLETS FLY IN COURT
TWO MEN SHOT DURING A TRIAL
AT HOMBRVXLLE, O.
A Will In Wbich Some of the Testators’
Children Were Not Remembered the
Cause of the Trouble—Loads in the
Pistol for Two More Men.
Homerville, 0., Sept. 9.—A terrible
tragedy occurred here yesterday during the
trial of the case of George Barngrover vs.
Joseph HUer, before Esquire Vandamont.
Mr. HUer, senior, died some months ago,
leaving a will in which he devised most of
his property to two of his sons and two
daughters, to the exclusion of his other
children. There has been talk of contesting
the will, and much bitterness bas been
manifested. This was a case for damages
under an allege.! breach of contract between
Joseph Hilor and Mr. Bamgrove, who was
one of the sons-in-law of Hiler.
A CONSTABLE SHOT.
During the trial Constable J. N. Allen,
another son-in-law, stepped to the door,
when a pistol shot was beard. Allen came
staggering into tbe room and fell across a
chair, exclaiming : “John Hiler did it.”
Before tbe terrorized spectators could realize
what had happened the murderer was'seen
standing in the middle of the crowded court
room, and fired a second shot, which took
effect in the right breast of George Barn
grover, passing entirely through his body.
WILD EXCITEMENT.
The excitement was indescribable, the
court room being crowded with men aud
women. As Hiler rushed from the court
room into the darkness be was heard to re
mark: “I have loads for two more men.”
It is understood that he meant by that re
mark John Hiler, Jr., a cousin of tbe mur
derer, and an important witness in the,case,
and Attorney W. F. Mdßetb, who has
charge of the case for tbe plaintiff. The
town is aroused and is searching for the
murderer, who is still at large.

crop is unusually good. The oorn and
sweet potato crops are also reported to bo

The college buildings are going up

pletion, is a beautiful edifice.
The artesian well has met with so many

completed.
The board of health of Clay county met
and reorganized on Sept. 1, Dr. Clopton
being president and Dr." Merrell secretary
and treasurer. Rules and regulation were
adopted and sent to the president of the
state aboard. Dr. Daniel, for

Be Sure
If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be Induced to tako
any other. A Boston lady, whose example Is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
Ella A. Goff, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.
