Uses bicycle and Catches Her Dlsobe-
dent Son After Hot Race.
Pedestrians on Twelfth street, near
Robey, Chicago, the other morning
were treated to, the unusual sight Of a
mother pursuing her SON on bicycle
and, after a hot sprint, capturing the
unruly member of her household and
infiicting punishment. The first init
nation Of the impending comedy came
when feminine voice was heard call
ing: "Jack Callahan, il you don't come
here this blessed minute I'll tan your
jacket so't you won't forget IL for o
week." -,,-r- -,
Jack was busily engaged in a game
of mumbledy-peg with another boy Of
his age on the lawn beside the roadway
and paid no attention to the summons
until his mother appeared with sec
tion of trunk strap in her hand and
fire In her eye. Jack leaped upon his
bicycle, which was leaning against the
curb. and sped eastward toward Ash

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as rule, they are not. What is want
ed is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine Mr.. B. B.
Buffum, Of Friendsville, Suspuehan-
ma County, Pennsylvania, says: "We
have used it In our family for pain in
the stomach, collie and diarrhoea, and
found it to be the most effective rem
edy." For sale by all druggists.

The Galveston News is like the fell
low who was huffed because he was
going to be hung. There is nothing
in the situation that suits the stom-
ache of the News. 1t goes about trail
ing coat tail like the man at Donny-
brook fair, and pleading desperately
for someone to tread on it. The News
is as unwise as it is cranky in its con-
slant attempt to make the people be-
lieve that the Republican party is
Haunting the bloody flag in the face of
the south. If the utterances of the Re-
publican press and the letter of the
Republican candidate are not conclu-
sive as to these points it is useless to
argue. The News is half English any
way. The other half is very largely
south and but mighty little of it is
pure unadulterated national Ameri-
can.

PRINCESS MAUD's GOWNS.
Sets Example to Foolish Women Who
Prefer Foreign Goods.


Prefer Foreign Goods.
A most entertaining and unique re-
port has reached the state department
from United States Consul Meeker at
Bradford, inciosing two samples of the
wedding gowns selected for the trous-
seau of Princess Maud. One is of pure
black mohair, with raised black dia-
mond figures. The second is pure
white mohair, with small lowered eff
fects. These were selected from a
large number of samples submitted
for approval by the Bradford merchants,
who are very proud of the distinction
conferred upon their town by the
choice of their wares for the use of roy
atty, and naturally expect an enormous
rush of patronage as result of the adj
vertisement.
1t appears also from Mr.. Meeker's
report that America is not the only
country where the modish set believe
that goods must be of foreign origin to be
worthy of their use and attention. The
British merchants have complained for
long time because of the preference
shown for French and other European
fabrics over the productions of their
own looms, although they made goods
of undoubted superiority not only in
quality, but in design.
Mr.. Meeler cites some interesting
facts to show this home prejudice
against local goods and it's small foun-
6ation. He says it transpires that some
Bradford goods had already been select
ed at a London Diapers by the royal
family simply on their merits and with
out knowing that they were of domestic
origin. 1t has been discovered that
English dress goods have been imported
into France and re-eXported to England
and sold as French goods.
One of the prominent manufacturers
of Bradford had long been trying in
vain to induce his wife to have gown
made of his own goods. His triumph
can be imagined when upon one occa-
sion she appeared fresh from the hands
of her London dressmaker handsome
iy gowned in a fabric made by himself
but sold in London as a Trench nov
city,"

SETTLERS MUST PAY UP.
Indians to Get Their Money for Lands in
Kansas and Nebraska.


Kansas and Nebraska.
The long pending Case between white
settlers and the Otoe and Missouri
tribes of Indians, involving large tracts
of land in Kansas and Nebraska, is
nearing a settlement. The matter has
been before the interior department
for about Is years. Settlers purchased
these lands from the red men, but have
never paid them in full, and in many
instances the interest on principal was
never paid to the Indians. Numerous
attempts have been made to reach a
settlement, but without avail. The
other day, however, the secretary Of
the interior instructed the commissions
er of the general land Office to direct
the local land officials at Beatrice, Neb.,
to notify the settlers on the lands who
are in arrears in payments that to adj
those who will in. 80 days from notice
make settlement in full, a rebate of
ten years. interest on the amount of
principal and interest due at the date
of settlement will be allowed them,
and 10 further notify them that on their
failure to settle as proposed within the
time prescribed, their entries will be
Cancelled.

This Is a Swiss breed. The United
States consular report says Of it:
There are several off-shoot breeds de-
rived from the pure Bernese, known
as the Freiburg, the Frutiger, the lilies
and Ormond breeds, but they are all
more or less inferior to the pure orig
inal race. AS a principle, cross-breed-
ing has failed in Switzerland, and the
best results have always been obtained
from in-breeding from the pure orig
inal stock.
OF these minor spotted breeds the
