Since 1873 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham
b~erlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was used with perfect success.
D~ysentery, 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 malign-
ant cases, both of children and adults,
and under the most trying conditions,
which proves 1t to be the best medi-
cine in the world for bowel complaints

suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick too llay

Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

The Colorado republicans have made
a choice between Senators Wolcott and
Teller. The former puts republican
ism above silver and the latter puts
silver above republicanism. Among
the resolutions passed at their recent
state delegate convention, the follow
ing is perhaps the most significant:
That the delegates selected by the conven-
ton are hereby instructed to act in harmony
with the views of hon. Henry NJ. Teller as to
the course to be pursued by the Colorado del
egation in the national convention, and that
Senator Teller is hereby selected as a dele
gate and appointed to lead the delegation
at the St. Louis convention.
The convention took this course with
open eyes; Teller warned them in open
convention that he would not support
a candidate on gold platform or on a
platform of doubtful construction. He
makes an open and positive declaration
that he will bolt if the republican con-
ventIOn does not declare unequvocal-
~ for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of Is to l. This is
an assurance that Colorado will be TAX
ell out of the republican ranks next
fall

The Medicine Lodge INDEX dis poses of the
mortgage decision by saying that the Supreme
Court of the United States is the worst enemy
the people of this country have. A man who
would use such language as that would pull
down the stars and stripes if he was not afraid
some one would shoot him on the sPot.-An-
thOny Republican.
Poor, miserable, enslaYed mummy!
The writer of the above depends on
such slime as this for his existance.
The man who dares to crIticise tyranny
and corruption is more loyal to the
"stars and stripes than the man who
swallows anything Plutocracy pre-
scribes. and calls it good. A man is
proud of the Flag when he knows that
it protects him as an American citizen,
when be knows that it floats as an
emblem of freedom; but a loyal man
will not traduce the memory of our
noble forefatbers by defending every
outrage committed against the people
of this country in the name of the Stars
and Stripes. Some people, like the
editor of the Republican, don't
know what flag represents and they
crudely imagine that when they carry
flag in one hand and the skull and
cross bones in the other, the public will
applaud them. The demand of the
hour is that men be educated, that
they be taught what patriotism is and
what freedom means. That person
who stands out unequivocally for equal
ity and justice between man and man.
is the person who will first be found
defending the stars and stripes; and
the man who becomes a tool of the
Oppressors of mankind. is the first who
will be found in tearing the grand old
flag into sbreadS.

will be understood that if
