Sallee who has for the past seven years been confined to her bed a hopeless inyal-| id, had been restored to health through the instrumentality of faith and prayer. As the good news spread the neighbors began to gath- er and soon there was 150 or more in and about the home of Mrs. S., all anxious to learn the full particu- lars uf the wonderful and remark- able cure. In the center of the room sat Mrs. Sallee surrounded by her devoted husband and daughter, parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Van- Camp, a few days.

He will carry the full strength of his ticket, and go out of Vernon county with from 1,800 to 2,000 majority. This is the sentiment of Nevada business men as was demonstrated to a Mail reporter who made the rounds Sat- urday afternoon when the news of DeArmond’s nomination was receiv- ed.—Nevada Mail.

Her case has been a peculiar one and has baffled the skill of our best physicians and until ashort time ago she and her family had abont given up all hope of her recovery, when it was suggested by a neighbor that she consecrate herself to God. The suggestion was accepted by Mrs. Sallee and she fell to praying with all her strength, not ceasing night or day, when on Thursday last to her great joy and the delight of her family her prayers were answered. She immediately arose from-her bed, and after taking-a bath attired herself in elean clothing and walked, about the house and out in the yard to the’front gate, something she had not done before in nearly seven years. Mrs. Sallee is firm in the be- lief that a permanent cure has been effected and that as soon as she can gain strength she will be herself again. She does not believe in christian science or faith cure,but is satisfied that her cure was affected through the efficacy of prayer. “sGod works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform, He plants his tootsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm.’’ Bates county was misrepresented at the state meeting of the farmers’ and laborers’ union at Sedalia by Capt.
