VERY SIMPLE ItKMEDY
For Tuberculoois If it Proven to bo \
Successful.
A simple remedy for tuberculosis
and one declared to be a sure cure
is announced by a Texas Mothodis. 1
preacher, Hev. L. G. Grimes, of Cop'
peras Cove. He is now living in tha?
little town with his second wife, his
first one having died with consumption.
.Shortly after the death of ills drat
wife, he himself was stricken with '
the wh te plague, and the disease do- 1
veloped so rapidly that he was forced
to give up his work. He hail fiequont
hemorrhages from ?he lun?s
and tlie only exercise he could take
^ was horseback riding.
t One day ho rode ove-* 'o 'he black>
smith shop to have his lio-se shod
and while the smith was dclug to*'
work he got on the forgo to warm,
and accidentally inhale i ;he smoui
from the stone coal. It. seemed t<
give instant relief, and he inhaled
it for some time. He returned home,
feeling better than ho had felt for
months, and determined to continue
the experiment. Rev. Mr. Qrimoa
says that he never had another hem
orrhage; that Blx treatments cured
liim; And that he has never had a
symptom of conaumptlon Blnce. He
* had a lady friend who waa in tho
last Btagea of consumption. bat
had given up all hope and wah confined
to her bed, which she never
jt expected to leave. Mr. Orimos told
* her how he was cured, and ah she
1 could sit up her husband had a little
furnace made, and with pipes
conveyed the fumes of tho stone coal
' , into her lungs. Her physician forbade
the treatment, but the husband
refuse! to desist aud in a few
f. weeks the lady was able to leave hei
1 * bejf, and has never had a sympton

know of his simple and inexpensive
remedy, and hopes ull sufferers with

Congressman David A. DeArmond.
one of tho oldest and most nromi
nent Democratic members of congress,
and hie grandson Waddie,
aged nix, were burned to death in
a Are that destroyed the DeArmond
homo at Butler, Mo., early Tuenduy.
The other members of the family
escaped and it is believed that none
were hurt. Neither the body of
Congressman DeArmond nor that of
his grandson are yet recovered. It
is believed that they were incinerated.
Bones found are believed to
be those of the congressman. Othei
occupants in the house who escaped
were Mrs. DeArmond and their son
and daughter.
The fire, the cause of which is unknown,
started at 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The DeArmond homo t;situaled
across the street from that
of his son, James A. DeArmon 1
lames started to rush in the burning
home of his father in an at
tempt to save the latter, but was restrained
by the younger members ot
! the family and neighbors'.
The DeArmond home was two sto
ries in height and when it starto'
It burned fiercely. Mrs. DeArmond.
the wife of the congressman, escaped
In her night clothes unhurt, but
fainted as soon as she reached the
ground.
When she was revived later, she
became hysterical and it was some
time before she could tell what had
happend. She occupied a room or
the first, floor, while the congress
man and his grandson were on the
second floor. She had the first in

construction. Hy the time she reach
ed the yard the building was wrap

er it was in ashes.
Mrs. DeArmond heard no ca'l f om
her husband. Whether he was
smothered in bed and burned before
he could leave the room, or made an
attempt to save his life, probably
will never be known. Mrs. Harry
C'ark, the congressman's married
daughter, arid the house servant, who
were sleeping* on the tlrst floor, wore

leaders on the floor of the house
He was a member of that body for
the past Ifl years, a man with a wide
education and w,1do experience, a
fluent speaker and had become one
of the principal reaources of the
Democratic party in debating national
questions.
He will long be remembered for
his brilliant oratory and especially
for his power of sarcasm and capacity
for invective. He was conspicuous
as a party fighter. He was inclined
to be pugnacious. This quality
was once the means of getting
him into an altercation with John
Sharp Williams, then leader of the
house.
He was an aspirant for the leadership
