Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemies of dyseptery 10 different
parts of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidem-
ie, is almost as severe and danger
GUS 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 un-
der the most trying conditions,
which proves it to be the best medi-
cine in the world for bowel com
paints. For sale by IL, of, Druggist.

Charity.

Philanthroplc people in Boston
have discovered new way to help
the deserving poor. The plan is
new to them, but it was tried first
in Detroit. Sixty acres of land in
Jamaica Plain, suburb of Boston,
were secured for those who might
like to cultivate the soil for their
own benefit.
The applicants for the privilege
numbered one hundred. They
were given seed potatoes, beans,
peas, beets, etc, and cabbage plants,
and also all the necessary tools
Cincluding poison for potato bugs
to do the work with, and fertili-
ger; all was free, and all the men
had to do was to plant. Besides,
there was a director or instructor,
an experienced farmer, to teach the
art of planting if any required 1t.
Now, it is easy to give away
dollar if no condition of acceptance
be imposed but if a hundred men be
offered a dollar on the condition
that they saw wood half day q
have seen this tried again and again
more than seventy five per cent. will
decline. Think of this-only one
hundred applicants for free land,
tools, seed, fertilizers and bug
poison in a population of a half
million; and of the one hundred
applicants, only twenty appeared
the first day.
Each applicant was allotted
third of an acre. The size of the
lot staggered some of them, and it
showed how great is the ignorance
generally in relation to land areas.
Some of them appeared to think
that a third of an acre was merely
a back garden patch.
GLOW much land do you think is
in that LOTT" asked one man of
another, pointing to a piece of land
near.
"Well, l think there must be
a pretty good half acre in it."
The lot in question was one hun
dred feet long and sixty feet wide,
and contained six thousand square
feet, while half an acre contains
21,78O square feet.
Thus, with some of the applicants
third of an acre assumed the pro-
portions of large farm. But the
question of the success of the move
ment will be settled soon. But in
that populous country only one
hundred persons would till a third
of an acre of land for their benefit
when they had only labor to supply.
Perhaps if the applicants had been
offered self-weeding hoes and auto
matte machinery generally, with
soft cushion and lunch counter
attachment, they might have been
more numerous and shown more
enthusiasm. GEORGE APPLETON.

rifice His Sister.
VANCEBURG, KY, July 2T.-Richard
Cooley of Fairview suddenly became
insane under the stress of religious ex-
element Saturday, and, whetting his
knife, announced that it was his God
impaired duty to sacrifice his sister. He
made slash at her throat, but fortu-
nately number of people were
present and disarmed him before he
could do further harm.
A revival has been in progress there
for some time, and, being deeply
religious man, of emotional tempera-
ment, he became devoid OF reason. He
was also greatly grieved that his wife
and child attended that celcbrut .d
dancing picnic, given IL few days ago
for the benefit of the church.
He went insane once before under the
pressure of religious excitement.
He is universally esteemed for his
high character. He will be taken 10
the asylum.

FATAL ERROR.
Farmer Boys Mistaken For Band of
Out1ars md FIRED On.


WICHITA, Kan, July 29.-It develops
that in the fight between the farmers
and outlaws near Sheridan, o. T., last
Tuesday, the Dick Yeager gang was
not implicated at all. The supposed
outlaws were the Willett boys and Will
bur Henderson, all innocent farmer
boys, who were en- route from the gold
fields of Oklahoma.
The farmers were members of the
Anti-Horsethief association, and were
in search of the Yeager gang, who stole
some horses. When they ran across
the Willett party they thought it was
the Yeager gang, and began firing at
them.
On the other hand, the Willett party
thought the posse of farmers was the
Yeager gang, who intended to rob
them, and they returned the fire. One
of the Willetts was killed, and the
other one and Wilbur Henderson were
wounded.

The way West Virginia is being
developed and it's great coal fields
brought into market is well illus
trated by the charter just granted
for the West Virginia and South
ern Railway. 1t is claimed that
this road will, in fyrty miles, open
up twice as much coal territory as
the Norfolk & Western, and nearly
four times as much a the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway. 1t is said
that the Coal river drainage en-
braces 900 square miles of coal lands,
or the largest coal territory in the
United States which will be opened
by this road. Surveys have been
made and it is expected to begin
grading within two weeks. The
road will connect with the Chesa-
peake & Ohio at Brownstown and
will run to Coal river, by Madison;
to Guyan river, and through to
RIchland, TazweH county, Va. The
expectation is to have the line
completed from Brownstown to
