Since 1878 there have been nine cpidemics
Of dysentary in different parts of the coun-
try in which Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with per
feet success. Dysentary, when epidemic, is
almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the
most skilled physicians have failed to check
its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured
the most malignant cases, both of children
and adults, and under the most trying con-
ditions, which proves it to be the best medi-
cine in the world for bowel complaints. For
sale by Gruhler Bros, Druggists.

One of the most exciting games of baliever
played by amateur clubs in Schuylkill county
was played yesterday at Mt. Carmel by the
local club, and the Lincoln club, of town.
The hatting of Blazes and the pitching of
Lynch, of the Lincoln club, formed the
features of the game, the latter having struck
out nine men. Lynch is considered to be the
best amateur pitcher in the county. The
score by innings was as follows:

She was silly young thing, and

but she had. and when she had settled
down 10 the everydayness OF welded life.
she was disillusionized, at least, tenn
porarily. Her husband WAS no longer
her hero, and the dark clouds oi
doubt gathered thick In her sky. SO
thick at last that she consulted an At
torney Ia the matter Of bringing suit for
divorce. She should have gone 10 her
mother. but she didn't; she went 10 the
attorney.

eRIEE AND TO THE POINT.

When George Westinghouse, Jr., had
invented his air brake he took 1t to Com
modore Vanderbilt In the hope Of get
ting him sufficiently interested In it TO
adopt 1t on the New York Central. The
old Commodore went right on with his
correspondence while Westinghouse ex-
planned how by air pressure the brake
was applied by the engineer, and wheD
he finished he waited patiently for the
verdict. The old Commodore raised his
head long enough to jerk out: What's
that you say about air:'
Mr.. Westinghouse told him.
Looking him steadily In the face, the
old man replied in freezing tones: That
will do; have no time to waste with q
id fool"
Then Westinghouse went to President
Tom Scott Of the Pennsy lvanIa Railroad,
and so impressed him that the road
adopted the brake. Other roads follow
ed suit and the inventor soon achieved
fame and fortune. When that time had
arrived he one day received letter from
Commodore Vanderbilt, asking him to
call at the Centrars Office. MIR. West
inghouse's reply WAS terse and to the
point. He simply wrote: !.

Fly Catchers.

A gentleman who went into the woods
region on hunting excursion and put
up" at farmhouse in remote clearing
was annoyed during the daytime with
the abundance of flies that found access
to the house. But when twilight of
evening came he was treated to an exht
bition of fly catching that mora than re,
paid him for his vexation. The windows
were opened as the darkness settled
down, and the hostess tallow dip only
partially dispelled the gloom in the old
fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware of odd creatures darling
70 and fro in the room, often coming al
most into his face, while queer little
noise of "snip, snip, SNIP seemed to
follow their velvety futtering motions.
Cor an instant he was startled, not
knowing what to make Of such intrud'
ers.
