A Good Thing to Keep on Hand.
From the Troy (Kan.) Chief.

Some years ago, we were very much
subject to severe spells of cholera NOR
bus and now when we feel any of the
symptoms that usually precede that
ailment, such DIS sickness at the stomach,
diarrhea, ETC., we become scary. We
have found Chamberlain's Remedy the
very best thing to straighten one out in
such cases, and always keep it about.
1t is somewhat similar to the usual
cholera cures, but seems to contain in
gradients that render it more pleasant
to take, and that do their work more
quickly. Sheriff Devereux tells us that
he is subject to cholera morbus, and
recently felt spell coming on, when he
obtained bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, and
two doses made him all right. We are
not writing this for pay testimonial,
but to let our readers know what is a
good thing to keep handy in the house.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock market
to-day, after having had timeto recover from
the scare of Saturday, was much less active
than for any day during the last two weeks,
and the evident return of confidence caused
slow but material advance in value all
alcng the line, Notwithstanding the fact that
there was great irregularity and feverish-
ness throughout the entire day. There
were two more failures announced, ow-
ing to shrinkage in values, but
they had but slight effect. To- day
developments show conclusively that the
market for long time has been largely
oversold, and bids and ostensible purchases
were made by bears when the number of
stocks called for could not be obtained in
the market. The general opinion seems to
be that it is now only question with in
vestors of getting stocks at the present
prices. The feeling of insecurity has almost
subsidized and steady Improvement may
now be looked for on a sound basis. Gov

The facts attending the above simple an
nouncement of death are sad and peculiar
enough to call for more than passing men
tiOR.
At 69l1 Yale street is the home of Mr..
shrouded in white casket, the body of their
eleven-ye -year-od daughter, Marion, until
Friday the pride and joy OF her parents life.
The case is an extremely pitIful one. Mr.
and Mrs. Jones are numbered among the
best-known people in Englewood Their
home, pleasantly situated. is furnished with
all the material comforts that the heart
could wish for, and was made more attract
i've by the presence of their daughter, who
gave promise of becoming brilliant woman.
Now the home Is desolate and the parents
are heartbroken.
Marion was beautiful girl despite the
fact that small mole had made its appear
ance ON her right cheek. 1t was this small
defect which was primarily the cause of her
death. Her parents were very anxious that
their daughter should appear we'll in society
and the mole was a constant source of an
noyance to them. Then. too, they fearel
that it might develop into something more
serious.
After considerable delberation it was
decided to have the blemlsh removed
by a surgical operation. This conclusion
met with the approval of the child, for she
had reached that age when she began to
take pride In her personal appearance.
After consulting with friends as TO the best
institution to go to for the performance Of
the operation, Mr.. and Mrs. Jones selected
the Presbyterian Hospital. There they and
their daughter went Friday afternoon, Ma
rion impatient and nerved for the coming
operation, although apprehensive OF the
pain that might result from it.
1t was DR.. Charles L. ParkeS, member
of the surgical staff Of the hospital, who
piled the knife. Marion was placed on the
operating table, and preparations were
made by DIR. Parkes for administering the
usual anesthetic. A cloth was saturated
with chloroform and applied to the girls
nostrils. So brave was she that she offered
to hold the cloth in place while the surgeon
was placing his instruments in position IN
readiness for the operation.
Then, with her parents standing beside
her, the young girl sank into sleep from
which she was never to awake. The mole
was soon removed and restorailyes applied
in order to resuscitate the patient The
effort resulted only in convulsion, which
ended in death. When DIR. Parkes was
forced to announce the sad fact Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones refused to believe it. But when
they finally realized the truth their grief
moved even the attendants, who are accus-
toned to such scenes, to tears Chicago
Inter Ocean.
