A Total Disability Claim of $1,650 Paid to aMan Who Was Afterward Cured,

The Monitor, a newspaper publishedat Mea'ord, Ont., Canada, first discov¬ered this case two years ago, and pub¬lished it at length, which now seems,owing to the cure cf It, to be a miracle.The facta were so remarkable thatmany people doubted the truth of them.They said: "It Is too remarkable; itcannot possibly be true; the paper ismistaken, and the man, although hemay think himself cured, will soon re-dapse into his former condition," etc..etc. The accuracy of Its report calledIn question, th»» Monitor determined totind out definitely whether the factswere os stated and whether the manwou-d really ntuy cured.'' They accord¬ingly kept a close watch on the case for

two yearn after- the first article ap¬peared, and have Jn«t now publishedanother article about It In which theoriginal reports arc completely verified,the cure is permanent, and they pub¬lish a fac ftlmllG of the cheek given bythe Canadian Mutual Life Associationfor Jl.Gr.0.00 amount of total disabilityclaim paid by them to Mr. 1'etcb.The 11 rat account stated that the pa¬tient face address below) had been u

The paralyalu waa ao

complete as to affect the face and 'pre¬vented him from opening his mouthsufficiently wide to take solid food. Thedoctors called the disease spinal sclero¬sis. and all said he could not live.For three years he lingered In this

condition. Then by some friends he wasadvised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsfor Pale People. He took them andthere was a slight change. The firstthing noted wns a tendency to sweatfreely. This showed there was some lifeleft in the helpless body. Next came a

article published In the Monitor. Nowfollow some clippings, taken from thesame paper two years nftervvard, andthere in not the slightest shadow of adoubt. In view of this testimony, thatMr. fetch's cure Is permanent. Herefollows the account:On boln»* again questioned, Mr. Fetch

said: "You see those hands.tho skinIn now natural and elastic. Once theywere hurd and without sensation. Youcould pierce them with a pin and Iwould not feel It, and what Is true ofmy hands Is true of the rest of my body.I erhaps you have observed that I havenow even ceased to use a cane, and can.#jpt about my business perfectly well.lou may, uuy there h absolutely, no

doubt as to my cure being permanent.Indeed I am In even better health thunwhen I gave you the first interview.""Do you still attribute your cure to

"Doctors had failed, as had nlso the nu¬merous remedies recommended by myfriends. Nothing: I took had the slight¬est effect upon me until I began the useof Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To thiswonderful medicine I owe my releasefrom the living death. I have since rec¬ommended these pills to many of myfriends, nnd the verdict Is always Intheir favor.

remarkable cases of modern times. Can

The closing session of tho Ohio coun-ty farmers' Institute, at the Kim Grovetown hall, drew large crowds yesterday.The programmo was Interspersed withseveral mimical selections, and the hallcould hardly hold the crowd nt night.It was one of the moat successful Insti¬tutes held In this state. jTho morning session opened at 11o'clock, by prayer by Rev. Mr. Allen.Juines Orr, in his paper, "Making andSaving Manure," gave a thoughtfulpresentation of his subject, and t.iepaper led up to considerable profitablediscussion.The query by A. McCulloch, as to

whut experience any of those presenthad In plowing down other plants thanclover, produced the answer, "Nothingbut observation." Messrs. Miller, Bow-man, A. It. Jacob and Professor T. C.Atlceson. of the ehalr of agriculture,West Virginia University, spoke onfertilisers until the noon recess.The afternoon session opened with a

piano selection l»y Mr. Egleson. Thocommittee for that purpose presentedIts report, which resulted In the elec¬tion of officers for the ensuing year.The oincers are nearly the same us lastyear, and are as follows:President.J. B. Garvin.Vice President.A. McCulloch.Secretary.T. J. Orr; assistant, W.

structed to meet not later than Septem¬ber 1. to prepare the programme for thenext meeting.Discussion ensued, after the Introduc¬

tory remark by J. L. Henderson, onsheep, with reference to various breeds.Mr. Nichols discussed the Rambolets,and others discussed the wool-produc¬ing features of other breeds, amongthem the Dorsets. Professor Atkesonshowed the effect of soil and the gen¬eral environments, as well as the feed,In affecting wool.Following these remarks, Professor

Atkeson read a paper on "Rural Educa¬tion and Co-operation." He also talkedon the Grange question. This questioncame up later when the query box waspassed around, the question being ask¬ed. "How can farmers best advancetheir Interests by secret orders."This was dlscusscd by James Orr.

Professor Atkeson and others, and Itwas the general opinion that the Grangeis not a secret order, though resem¬bling one In some respects'"Do Institutes Pay?" elicited brief re¬

sponses from many members, and- allagreed that the institute paid thosewho acted on the practical suggestionsmade to them at farmers' Institutes.The music was a feature of the ev¬

ening session. An interesting talk on"Influenza".a disease of horses, wasRiven by Dr. William Petrie. and Prof.J. C. Lewis, detailed the chief points larecent school legislation in this state.A recitation by Miss Ethel McCuskywas greatly enjoyed.A curiosity that attracted attention

yesterday, was that of a small parsnipgrowing out of a peach stone. This pe¬culiar combination was presented yes¬terday by W. T. Maxwell, of ValleyGrove, to Prof. Atkeson, who prizes ithighly, and will display It at the exper¬iment station, at Morgantown.Another cause for favorable comment

was the exhibit of white Plymouth Rockfowl, by Charley Seibert, who had aneatly arranged wagon outside of thohall. In which were placed several flnefowl of the above named variety. Itwas a creditable exhibit.

The present governor of the GreenMountain State, though born in Canada,has lived in Vermont since lie was sixyears old. Ills course at the St. Johns-bury Academy was interrupted in 1S61by his .enlisting in Co. I. 1st Vermontcavalry. He was mustered in as secondlieutenant, promoted to captain the fol¬lowing year, and In 1SG4 made major ofthe 2t>th New York cavalry.Major Grout participated in seventeen

engagements, and was badly woundedin a skirmish with the celebrated con¬federate leader, Mosby.At the close of the war he entered.the

law office of his brother. Gen. Grout,and was admitted to the bar. Ills ser¬vice in the Vermont legislature em¬

braced the years 1S72, 'S3, '86 and 'S3.He was speaker of the liouse for threeyears and senator'in 1S92.Gov. Grout is deeply indebted to

Paine's celery compound for the goodhealth which he to-day enjoys. He ex¬

presses his conviction of the value ofthe Kieat remedy in the following fewwords:
