The report consists in a scath ing arraignment of the officers of the national guard, holding the brigade commander responsible for the fiasco in attempting to take possession of the depot on July 4th. Brigadier-General Sheehan, Major-Generpl Dimond, Brig- adier-Gviieral Dickinson, Colonels Sul livan, Newau and Barry are particul arly criticized. The court says the handling of the troops during the dif ficulty was very unmilitary-Mke. A re organization of the state troops is re commended.

Iu the pretty little village of Cbatbnin, Sangamon county, there lives a Baptist divine whose snow Wbiia hair is the one outward sign that he has encroached upou the days beyond the allotted three score years ant ten. His clear eye. k-eu mental faculties and magulOoent physique all bear witness tu a life well aud nobly spent. This pioneer in God’s eternal vineyard is Rev. W. J. Chapin, whose 72 years are crowded with noble deeds iu the Christian ministry. To a State Journal representative who had occasion to ask him something of his career tn the ministry, Mr. Coaptn talked in a peculiarly interesting strain. The sub ject ct his fine physique was broached by his interviewer aud with increasing earnest ■ ness he said that, in spite ot the indications to the contrary, his lite bad pot all been sunshine and good health. “As my present appearance testifies, I was fortunate in tbe possession ot a ve<y vigorous constitution. In my earlier years I scarcely knew wbat ft mount to be sick, aud I was almost a perfect stranger to any kind ot medicine or tonic. As is too often the ease, I overestimated my pbysioal re sources, and when it was too late learned that I had overdrawn my health account. The crisis came about eighteen years ago. At the time I was preaching the gespol from the pulpit, and I became suddenly so ill that I was compelled to stop before my sermon was finished. It was a bad case of nervous prostration, aud for a time my friend» and family wore greatly exerolsed over iny conditfou. Complete rest was Im perative, aud to divert mv mind from my active ministerial duties, Mrs. Chnpin and I planned and took a long trip. My health was sufficiently restored by this dlverslon^to resume work, but I was not the same man. I shall never forget that awful experience. It is hard to describe my feeliugs so that, others can have a conception of them. I telt alieolotely worthless, physically and mentally. I bad so lost control of my mus cles that my fingers would involuntarily release their grip «pon a pen, aud my hand would turn over with absolutely no volition on my part. “About two years ago, to intensify mat ters, 1 was seized with a severe attack of la grippe. I recovered only partially from it and had frequent returns of that inde scribable feeliug^that accompuuies and fol lows that strange malady. I looked tu vain for something to bring relief and finally I read an account of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Something seemed to tell me that they would do me good aud I com menced using them. They ga’e me al- dltiona! strength from the start and toned up my system from a condition of almost absolute prostration so that I was able again to resume my duties as a minister. I was so unaccustomed to taking medicine that I did not take tbe pills as regularly as I should have, and yet my Improvement was marvel ous. I am now preaching at Forest City aud Loami, and In addition to the exacting character of this work itself, I ride ten or fifteen miles on the way there and back.” Mrs. Chapin, a klndly-faoed, elderly lady, was present daring the conversation and said: “I don’i think Mr. Chapin oould ever resumed his preaching after he had tho attack ot la grippe had it not been for the Pink Piils. They did him so much good that I decided to test their efficacy on my self. I have been troubled tor years wlih what uur physician, Dr. Hewitt, eails rheu matic paralysis. Electricity gives me relief, but -iuoe taking the Piak Pills I have been stronger and tbe pain in my right baud and a:m is less acute. We keep the pills tn the house nearly all tbe time, and they do me a gieat deal of good in the way of touiug up my system and strengthening me. The pills ure ;used by a good many, others tn this vicinity and ¿very one speaks well of them. Mrs. Japh Knott was ill ior a long time uud her irleuds gave her cose upas hopeless when she began using the pills. It was the first, medicine that helped her. 8he had been ill for a good many years raid has been greatly benefited by the Piuk Pills.” 1 hese pills ure msnutuctured by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, Bcbenecudy,' N. Y., aud sold only iu boxes bearing tue Hi rn’s trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box Or six boxes fur $2.50, aud are uever sold in bulk.
