The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in NATURES way,
that as punishment for some indiscre
ton, YOU are to be afflicted with a cold
unless You choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold. in most cases, is dry, loud cough
aud sneezing. The cough is soon fol>
lowed by profuse watery expectoration
and the sneezing by profuse ,watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to dO2 1t is only neces-
sary to take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in double doses every hour. That
will greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will effectually counter
act it, and cure what would have been a
severe cold within one or two days time.

Buttons from Potatoes.

Great quantities of buttons are now
made from potatoes. 1t is not generally
known that if the substance of the com
mon Irish potato be treated with certain
acids 1t becomes almost as hard as stone,
and can be used for many purposes for
which horn, ivory and bone are employed.
This quality of the potato adapts it TO but
ton making, and a very good grade of but
ton is now made rom the well known
tuber. The potato button cannot be dis
tinguished from others save by careful
examination, and even then only by an eX-
pert, since they are colOred to suit the
goods on which they are to be used, and
are every whit as good looking as a button
of bone or ivory. Their cheapness is a
great recommendation, and will no doubt
lead to a much larger employment in the
futUre.-Irterview il St Louis GIobe-Dem-

THE CzAR's TELEGRAM,
OUR SISTER REPUBLICS.
Movement on Foot to Defeat Diaz fl
President of Mexico

Movement on Foot to Defeat Diaz for
President of Mexico.
ST. LOUIS, July 29.-Late adyices from
the City of Mexico to the Associated
Press say that two American papers,
published in that city, are making con-
siderable noise over the recent letter of So
called Prince Iturbide, which is now
used as a banner cry by the Church
party, who seem to have some concealed
candidate against Diaz, and are using
this foolish, ignorant boy and his backer,
Verdugo, to cover up appearances.
The creation of three new. archbishop
rics and five new bishoprics by the Pope
is considered significant. The Indians,
who form nine-tenthS of the population,
are very loyal to the clergy.
President Diaz is again well enough to
attend to executive business, but he bears
traces of recent suffering. His wife
wishes him to go to Europe for rest, but
his ambition keeps him here, and will for
some time yet.
The press is more restricted than ever.
The Governors of the different States are
coming here to consult with ex-Presi-
dent Gonzales. All this gives rise to
many rumors. The President is known
to have had a serious misunderstanding

OCEAN MAIL SERVICE ACT.
American Steamships to Run to River
Platte Ports.

American Steamships to Run to River
Platte Ports.
NEW YORK, July 29.-0ne of the first
and most Important results of the passage
of the Ocean Mail Service Act will be the
establishment of an American line with
the River Platte ports. One of the pro-
posals of the Postmaster General calls
for steamers of 5000 tons from New York
to Buenos Ayres, touching at Montevideo
on the outward course, and arriving in
eighteen days. These steamers are to
sail once in three weeks, and make seven
teen voyages year. In returning from
Buenos Ayres they are allowed to stop at
Santos and Rio, at the contractors option.
The voyage from Rio is to be made in
sixteen days.
Bids will be made by the New York
and Cuba mail line. If the bids are ac-
cepted three ships exceeding 5000 tons
each, and capable of making sixteen
knots, will be built for the service.
These vessels will be superior in every
respect to any steamships now under the
American flag.
The European nations have monopo-
iZed the trade of the Platte countries,
owing to the lack of direct steam COM
exporters have been compelled to ship
their goods by sailing vessels, or else
have them transhipped at Hamburg or
Rio, with increased transportation
charges and serious delay. The mail
service has been very bad, requiring any
where from thirty to forty days. With
direct steam service by sixteen-knot
ships the mails will go down in eighteen
days, and there will be rapid develop
ment of trade.
The New York and Cuba line has also
offered bid for the Mexican, Havana
and South Cuban service, in accordance
with the revised proposals of the Post
master General.

LOST HER WATCH.
A California Wonan's Experience
With Boston Sharp.

New YORK, July 29.-A Boston special

woman is in town, who is ready to tear

publicity which her indiscretions have

Sheriff of one of the most important
counties of California. who is doubtless
wondering why his wife does not return.
She is hanging around Boston. hoping to
recover a valuable diamond-studded
watch which was stolen from her under
very peculiar circumstances.
On June 11th she stopped in Boston on
her way home, and put up at big West
End hotel. During the evening she
formed the acquaintance of an agreeable
young man, and the friendship became
so strong that the young man forgot to go
home. When she awoke about 5 o'clock
In the morning her companion was miss
ing, and her diamond studded watch and
chain, which had been given to her by
her husband, had gone with him. She
did not dare to return home without the
watch, and reported the fact to the pro-
prietor of the hotel. He sent for the
police. The fair owner of the missing
watch has advertised reward of $100 for
its recovery.

FATAL ACCIDENT,
An Engineer Killed In Tunnel In the
Siskiyou Mountains.

s1SklyOu MOunUalnS.
ASHLAND Orr, July 29.-The first seri-
Gus accident that has occurred on the
Southern Pacific Railroad line in the
Siskiyou Mountains happened to-day,
and resulted in the death of Engineer
Jack Rochefoat, and the serious injury of
Fireman Fitzpatrick. Just as the over
land passenger train had entered the big
tunnel the engine parted from the train,
and the coupling chain broke when an
attempt was made to recouple in the tun-
mel.
The train was pulled by two engines.
and dense smoke from the rear engine
enveloped the occupants of the head
engine, and they were not able to endure
it for the fifteen or twenty minutes that
the train was detained in the tunnel. and
Engineer Rochefort and his fireman,
Fitzpatrick, attempted to climb down
from the cab, but were so nearly suffo-
Gated that they fell IN the darkness,
Rochefort with his left arm across the
rail. The rear engineer did not know
the condition of the men in the head
engine, and in backing out of the tunnel
to remedy the coupling the drive-wheel
of the engine ran over and cut off Roche
forts left arm. He was dead from loss of
blood when found.
Fitzpatrick is doing well, and will come
out all right. It was thought several
other tralnmen were nearly overcome in
rescuing their comrades, but all come out
safe.
a special engine took Company Sur
geon Parson to the scene upon receipt of
the news.
Rochefort has been running on this
division for several years, and was well
liked. He leaves family.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The count of
farm and home transcripts, made in ac-
cordance with the nortgage-collection
clause of the Census Act, has been COM
pleted by the Census Office. There were
returned by enumerators 2,49l, $3.50 farms
and homes occupied by owners which
were incumbered by mortgages. This"
includes some about which the enumer-
ators made no report, and which belong
partly to a class of hired and partly to a
class owned free, as well as partly TO
class owned and incumbered. Until this
unknown quantity, due TO the failure of
enumerators, is eliminated, it may be re-
garded as approximately true that two
and a quarter million of the twelve and
half million families OF the United
States occupy and own Incumbered farms
and homes, and that ten and quarter
million families occupy farms and homes
either hired or owned free. The proper
ton of hired and owned free homes and
farms will be known when the popula-
ton division completes the count of re-
turns pertaining TO them.
The preliminary results indicate that
the average debts for farms in Iowa is
S7l9, and the average for farm and home
81, 40. If these averages hold good for
the Union sthe incumbrance on farms
and homes of the United States occupied
by owners is about s., SOS, ,0O0, ,000
The success OF this investigation, Super
intendent Porter says, has been far be-
yond the anticipations of the most eX-
perienced statisticians, and the result
will be of immense interest and value to
the nation. The first volume relating to
the recorded Indebtedness will probably
go to press this year.
Incomplete returns from several
Western States indicate that farms and
houses are mortgaged for about one-third
Of the value put on them by the owners.
