A Noted Month.

From heokuk, Ia, Democrat.
August, 1887, was noted month. 1t
gave extreme heat and extreme cold, the
results Of which were disastrous to the
public health. Gases of collie. cholera
morbus and diarrhoea were abundant and
there were numerous calls at the drug
stores for Chamberlsin's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoes Remedy. Druggists of
this city tell us that this remedy has been
more frequently called for during the
past month than any other preparation
and that it has proven panacea for the

mended, and grows in popularity in this

TROUBLE ABOUT A PRIEST.
The Irish Troubled Because There Is No
Priest in Derry Jail.


Priest in Derry Jail.
LONDON July Much feeling exists in
Ireland over the fact that there is no Ro-
man Catholic chaplain in Derry Jail The
Rev. DR. O'Doherty, the former chaplain,
was dismissed from his Office. it is claimed,
becaused ne refused TO attend an inquiry
held for the purpose of eliciting facts in
relation To the National league. the rea-
son of his refusal being that such ques
tons ought not TO be addressed to him as
Il Roman Catholic clergyman.
The Government Thought Differently
The government assumed that the ques
ton did not involve any such violation, and
did not come within the scope of priestly
exemption. and removed DR.. O'Dohsrty
from his chaplainship. The vacar capitu-
lar of the diocese upheld DIR. O'Doherty
and has declined to appoint any chaplain
in his place. Consequently the Roman
Catholic prisoners in the Jail have been
without the consultations of religion for
several months Balfour claims to have
minimized the evil as far as possible by
sending the Roman Catholic prisoners to
other jals

Ransom Tells the House Democrats to
Beat the Election Law.


Beat the Election Law.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 1-"If you
don't want the national election bill to be-
come law you must beat 1t in the house,
was the word Senator Ransom of North
Carolina and his colleagues sent to the
Democrats in the lower branch of congress
And he added this information: "There is
not Republican senator who will speak
or vote against it." This message WAS
sent in verbal form after the Democrats in
the senate had made sufficient inquiry to
lead them to believe that their proposition
to hasten adjournment by the speedy con-
sideration of all other general measures if
the election bill was not taken up at this
session would be rejected
Why Ewsrt Is in Opposition.
For while it looked as though there
would be quite a number of southern Re-
publicans in the house who would vote
against the election bill, but debate thus
far has demonstrated that there will be no
Republican votes against it from general
principles, Ewart of North Carolina, it
is said, opposes the bill not because he
thinks it unwise in any respect, but be-
cause he regards it as an administration
measure and he imagines himself out of
joint with the administration.
