During our epidemic of dysentery,
in the summer of 1879, | sold 108 bot
ties of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and it proved
satisfactory in every instance. The
remedy is standard in this commu-
nity.-GEo. B. DUNBAR, druggist, Cen
ter Point, Iowa. The epidemic refer
red to, was by far the worst that ever
occurred in Iowa. Over 40 persons
died from it, in town of only 800 in
habitants; but every case in which
this remedy was used, recovered. 1t
was equally successful during the ep-
idemic of bloody fux in Virginia, In
1887, and in Michigan and Southern
Illinois, in 1883. 1t has been in constant
use for over eighteen years, and has
proved itself to be the most successful
medicine yet discovered for bowel
complaint. For sale by Owen &

CAT AND TURTLE FIGHT.
One Loses n Lamb and the Other Its LII
A Fiercs Encounter.

Elias Holt a farmer who lives in
Shades Valley, near Birmingham, Ala,
witnessed an interesting battle between
cat aud turtle few days ago, says
the Globe Democrat. Holt owns large
tomcat named Scrapper, which has for
years been the terror OF all the other
cats and all the dogs in the neighbor-
hood. He is born fighter, and will
attack any thing when out Of humor.
Holt was in the woods near his house
the other day, and heard a great com
motion in pile of dry leaves. He APP
preached the spot to investigate, and
found his fighting Thomas cat engaged
in battle to a finish with a small
turtle. In the first few rounds Scrapper
would leap on the back of the turtle,
and claw away at a lively rate, but he
soon realized that this did his opponent
no harm, ard he changed his tactics.
Scrapper, however, was not long in dis
covering the place where tho turtles
b ad always came out, and he sat down
10 watch that spot. AS soon as the
turtle peered out to see if his enemy
was gone Scrapper mado grab for his
head, but missed. This he repeated
several times, and then the turtle, keep
ing his head safely inside the she'll, put
out his feet, and started to crawl away.
Then Scrapper caught foot of the
turtle with his teeth and claws, when,
sure enough, the fight began in earnest.
The turtle pulled and struggled, but the
cat held on. Finding it could not get
away, the turtle began to fight a bit it
self, and, with quick snap, it caught
one of the cats hind feet in it's viselike
| jaws, and held on. Scrapper pulled,
bit, scratched, and emitted the most
terrific yells and screeches, but the tur'
tie would not be shaken off. Finally
Scrapper secured good hold on the
turtles neck, where it was soft and ten
der, and he began to bite it with all the
power he had. Both contestants were
bleeding freely by this time and the
| cats leg was broken. Still they held on.
| The sharp jaws of the turtle finally cut
off the cats foot and held it but a mo-
ment: later the turtles head came off
| Scrapper having bit and clawed its neck
in two. The feline lay down to rest
| awhile, and lick the bleeding stump OF
his off hind legs. AS soon as Scrapper re-
| gained his breath, he picked up the tur

brought suddenly to a close by q
murmur of admiration running through

beheld vision of rare lovelincss, in
violet silk, with camellias in her hair
and on her bosom.
Il wonder if that's the widow" he
thought.
Yes. that was the widow. and before
he could realize it he was presented.
Very gracefully she bowed, and coolly
seated herself between him and her
cousin.

ones of the widow, and he could look
no farther.

SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Investigation of This Mysterious and In
curable Disease.

Investigation of This Mysterious and In
durable Disease.
At tho Harley House. London, there is
a young man, a native of the Congo
River Valley, who has journeyed to En-
gland for the purpose of an autopsy. He
believes himself to be in the incipient
stage of the mysterious and incurable
disease known as the sleeping sickness,
and he has left his wife and children to
place himself and his body, after death,
at the disposal of medical mon, in order
that they may so study his case as to
ascertain the cause, morbid changes,
and means of relief of this conn arative-
ly unknown malady.
The young mans name is Mankombi
and he is a member of the missiona ry
church at the Banza Manteka station,
where not fewer than sixty of his fell
low-converts have been carried off by
the sleeping sickness. His own sister is
dying of it: she becomes almost mania
cal at the full of the moon. His brother
by marriage died by it at about the
time of his departure, which was a
spontaneous action on his part, in order
that by dying in a foreign land he might
perchance benefit his yet unaffected
countrymcn.
Mankombi is yet we'll and able to
work, but lie is smitten with the trouble,
as is shown to others by some little i'm
pairment of his mental alertncss. The
disease is not believed to be contagious,
although several members of the same
family may die of it. So far as the obser-
walton of the missionaries goes no case
has been saved from fatal termination
by treatment. The duration may extend
for three years or it may be only two or
three weeks. As the disease progresses
the patient is said to sleep his life away
although in severe cases maniacal symp-
toms develop.
Great cmaciation marks the chronic
cases "Nelavan' is Il term used by
Declat and some other French writer's as
descriptive of the sleep disease of Africa
at some points to the north of the
Congo, but on the west coast, where il
appears to be epidemic, Declat thinks
he has found some points of resemblance
between nolavcn and the chicken
cholera. Mr. Stanley makes no refer
ehce in his last volumes to the occur
renee of the disease among his carriers,
not few Of whom were probably taken
from the lower Congo districts, where
the disease is most frequent. -Londor
