LIFAYETTE Str's Escape. A'ro'.zi the Democrat-Message, Ml Sterling, IU. * When Richmond had fallen and the great commanders had met beneath the historic .. . .» apple tree at Appomattox, the 83d Penn- Sylvania Volunteers, prematurely aged, clad in tatters and rags, broken in body but of dauntless spirit, swung into line for the last “grand review” and then quietly marched away to begiu life’s fray anew. Rebel shot and shell, the dread miasma of the southern swamp, sleepless nights and wearisome days had depleted their ranks until only a hand ful remained. Among the number Asa Rob inson came back to the old home in Mt. Sterling, Ills.; that he had left at the call to arms four years previous. He went away in the first Hush of vigorous manhood; lie came back a ghost of the self that answered to President Lincoln’s call for” 300,UOO more.” With his return to the old homestead there came to him the knowledge that war with him was only begun; that he must fight the battle with disease to the end of his days; that the glare of a southern sun and the galling tire of a southern soldiery were as nothing compared to the onslaught of an eneniv that fought under cover and disre garded all the rules of civilized warfare. Sciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon him. incapacitating him for manual labor anil rendering him, much of the time, physically as helpless as an infant. The years passed by, but his sufferings, with increasing age, were increased rather than diminished. He Bpent a small fortune for doctor’s medicine, praying for even temporary relief, but it did not come. To-day he is an alert, active man of fifty- five years. His rheumatic pains have de parted, and while there are traces of his years of suffering in his face be walks with the soldierly bearing and springy step of a healthy young man. To tile Democrat-Message reporter lie talked freely about his case. Mr. Robinson is a man of much more than average education ami intelligence. Where he is known in Brown County his word is as acceptable as the bond of the average man, and there is no question but that in bis case an almost miraculous cure was wrought by Dr. William»’ Pink Pills for Pale People. _ _ .... “ ■■ I wn« was a great sufferer from sciatic rheu matism almost from the lime of uiy discharge from the army. At times 1 was bent almost double, and got around with only the greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to give me per manent relief until three years ago, when my attention was called to some of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills tor Pale People, and I made up my mind to try them. I had not taken more than a half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition. I took three boxes of the pills, ami at the end of that time was in better con dition than at any time since the close of my army service. Since then 1 have never been bothered with rheumatism. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People is the only remedy that ever did me any good, and to them 1 owe my restoration to health. A sa S.

D C., to an old friend, Major G. A. Studer, for twenty years United States Consul at Singapore, says: “While at Des Moines I became acquainted with a liniment known as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, which I found excellent against rheuma tism as well as against soreness of the throat and chest (giving me milch, easier breathing). I had a touch of pneumonia early this week, and two applications freely applied to the throat and chest ro lieved me of it at once. I would not be without it for anything.” For sale by S.

They are bidders for the work, and they evidently have an eye to business whether their bid is accepted or not. One party who was figuring on the job stated that a hundred and fifty to two hundred teams would be employed in constructing the locks. VS Petition of W. T.

Judge Sears rendered a decision yester day in the suit of Fleiscbner, Mayer A Co., against F. W. Redmond, a merchant of McMinnville, et al., in ifavor of the plaintiffs, and set aside the conveyances made by Redmond of his stock. The court held that the mortgages made by Redmond to the First National bank, of McMinnville, and his wife, sister and brother-in-law, were all part and parcel I of a scheme by Redmond to prefer the bank and his relatives, and then to make an assignment, although he had nothing left to assign, as the mortgages took all of his property. The mortgages and as signments were, therefore, all one trans action and void. Judge Sears said: “A debtor cannot prefer certain parties, and then make an assignment. The law contemplates that all creditors shall be treated equally. If the scheme to assign existed at the time of the preferences, THF. EBB OF FREE StLVEH then all are void. In this instance, the mortgages were all drawn by the same No doubt the free coinage men by attorney and taken to the recorder’s of fice at the same time, and filed one after pressing the Teller resolution at this another, and then the assignment was time intended to force a show of executed.
