CHAMBERLAIN'S
Colo. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.


In almost every neighborhood
throughout the Northwest there is some
person whose life has been saved by
this great remedy, such persons loose
no opportunity in speaking of its good
qualities and what 1t has done for them,
there are also great many who have
been cured Of chronic diarrhoea by it
and can not say enough in praise of it.
Such persons it is who have most I'D.
vertised the remedy, and brought it in.
to general use, until it has become tho
main reliance for bowel complaint in
all Its forms, throughout the west. No
one who needs such remedy can use
it without great benefit. AS a safe
guard many families always keep q
bottle at hand for use when needed,
and by doing so, save much suffering
and not unfrequently the life of some
person suddenly attacked with cramps,
collie or cholera morbus. Physicians
who have seen its good work and been
told by their patients what splendid
medicine it is, have tried it, and rs ono
of them says: II found it as good or
better than anything l could prepare"
and now use and prescribe it with the
best results. Unlike most other pre-
parations in use for the same purposes
it is rather pleasant to take especially
when reduced with water and sweeten-
ed. Children do not object to taking
it after they have once tasted of it.
1t cures pain in the stomach, collie,
cramps, cholera morbus, dysentcry, di-
arrhoea, chronic diarrhoca, bloody flux,
cholera infantum and cholera.
The following testimonials will give
the reader an idea of what people think
of the preparation after using it:
You can say that the bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy left me by your agent two

it saved my eldest sons life.

Hugging the Stove.

It was one of those 'cold spells
which have visited us frequently this
summer, and they two had met--quite
way in premeditated-on the avenue.
"What are you going to do this

teries of two beautiful eyes full upon
him.
"Oh, 1 suppose I'll stay at home

Unweaned HIghwaymen.
From tho Youths Companion.

When the Rev. Samuel j. May was
q young man, just out of college, he
made trip to tho White Mountains,
in company with Geo. b. Emerson,
Caleb Cushing, William Ware and
two or three Others. The party were
all rather shabbily dressed, and as
two of them carried guns and an
other a large ira, cling barometer,
they presented rather formidable
Appearances much 80 that the in.
habitants of one small hamlet fed
at their approach.
At another place the travellers came
to a very secluded, neat little house
about which were signs Of large
dairy. Accordingly the commissary
general Of the party raped at the
door and inquired if they could have
some refreshment, and added that
bread and milk would be all that
they should ask for.
The woman of the house, seeing
half a dozen highwaymen at her gate,
was naturally somewhat frustrated
and could only stammer, "Oh yes,
sirl oh yesl Come in; you can have

The six hungry tourists promptly
accepted her invitation. Mr.. May
says they "took possession of her
largest room," and it is safe to pre-
sumo that they nearly filed it.
She brought in six bowls of deli
cious milk, with bread of like quail
ity. The bowls were quickly emp
tied, refilled and again emptied. BY
this time the housekeeper had par
TALLY recovered from her fright, and
as she was filing the bowls for the

exclaimed:

you had never been weaned!"
The unweaned highwaymen en-
joyed the joke-and the bread and
milk-so much that they paid the
good woman three times her price.

PROHIBITION CANDIDATES.
Their Letters of Acceptance.

CHICAGO. August G.--Letters of ac-
ceptanco of the national prohibition
party candidates for president and
vice president are made public. The
letter of Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, the
candidate for president, is dated Sea-
bright, July 25. The opening para
graph expresses a grateful sense OF
honor conferred on him by the Indi-
ana prohibition convention by the
nomination. The letter deals with
the progress of temperance reform,
and concludes that that reform can
become IL fact in the government only
through political party administer
ing the government, The democratic
and republican. parties are arraigned
for their failure to embody in cir
platforms a word in condemnation of
the saloons. The prohibition partys
chief concern is the purity of the
home and the virtue and sobriety OF
the people. :,
DR.. John A. Brooks, after acknowl
edging the honor conferred upon
him, denounces monopolies and trusts
and says that trusts are against
wholesome revision of the tariff" He
says: PARTY issues are now before
the people as formulated by the final
authorities in such cases in three
great national conventions. Senators
and representatives may conclude
that their party conventions have
made great blunders in their official
utterances and may seek to modify
them by congressional action, but
the country will hold each party
to it's platform. That the solution
proposed by the prohibition party
is the best of the three do not hesi-
tate to declare. A proper protection
of American labor and the infant in
dustries of our country may and does
commend itself to the majority of our
people, but of infinitely more impor-
tance is the protection of our homes.
To this end you platform Justly sub
ordinates all other questions.
DR.. Brooks concludes by some re-
marks regarding the sanctity of the
home, refers to the evil influence OF
saloons, and endorses woman suffrage
and the work of woman for prohibi-
ton.

When Chicago was in ashes John
A Logan introduced a bill in congress
remitting the duties on all building
materials imported for use in recon-
structing the city. Logan understood
perfectly well that the duty on any
commodity is added to it's price, and
paid by the consumer, else he would
not have asked for the remission of
the duty on building material for the
benefit OF stricken Chicago. His bill
passed, but not until the lumber lords
of Michigan and Wisconsin had sue
ceeded in getting lumber excluded
from it's provisions. "If,' says Mr..
J. Sterling Norton of Nebraska, "free
lumber was q good thing for Chicago
after having been burned over only
three or four days, or week, let me
ask why it would not also be good
thing for the settlement, for the civil
izing and upbuilding of those prai-
ries where l live, over which the fires
have rolled every autumn for q hun
dred centuries, until not single
vestige of anything to build with is
left on the face Of the earth" Who
can answer?
