 In these houses men and women and children are huddled together; during the long winter months they are shut In days at time, ths cattle often sharing their quarters.

Since 1878 there have been nine epi. denies in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Collie, Cholers and DIarrhea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epi. demic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Henceforth the best effort of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its rsvages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.

The new gasoline boat Xsressie will leave in the morning for Fl Dorado Can yon loaded with supplies for that camp and the Marie mines twelve miles below. The boat is a trim little light draught, flat bottomed affair with about ten tons displacement. It will have a ten ton barge in tow and will make the trip to the canyon in about two days. Hill and Rice are the managers of the new enter. prise and these gentlemen informed us that their rates for tonnage to the canyon would DC fifteen dollars and return freight eight or ten. This is a big re. duction over the old rate. They have three months freight already contracted for. This new enterprise will be the en- tering wedge of new industries for Needles.

Bold Intimidation.

The desperate fear of the railroad cor porations that Bryan will be elected, and 1 that they will bs brought under the law, Is shown by circular tbst has been sent to all railway operatives In the country, urging them to organize into sound. money" clubs, and informing them that such clubs will be opened at every rall. way station and division headquarters in the country. The circular is issued anonymously, but as it refers to lead. ing railway periodical for literature" and blanks, and as this periodical Is pub lished in the interest of the corporations and not that of the operatives, it is clear ly a demand on the part of these corpor. stions that their employees support Me Kinley. A significant fact is that the circular is being published by republican papers, which by the force of circum- stances have been compelled to become supporters of the monopoies.
 If the men to whom this threat is ad- dressed still possess the independence that they have already exhibited, the ei feet of the circular will be directly op. posite to that which was intended The shrewdness of the scheme of opening club rolls at every railway station is manifest It gives the companies abso lute knowledge of what men join and what do not join, and in this way the preparation of black list ia reduced to the simplest lines. This circular carries a deeper threat and bolder insult than any the railways have ever dared before to fling in the faces of their employees.
 It will he interesting to note what re ception this precious document will have at the hands of the American Railway Union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the other organizations Of railway operatives and organized labor in general. For we may be sure that this is only the beginning of a compre- hen.ive movement by all entsnsive em ployers of skilled and uuskilled labor to organize their mea into Mckinley clubs, with the implied threat of discharge as the alternative of joining.
 The railway corporations have special cause for alarm over the prospect of Bry- ans election, as the democratic national platform demands not only the proper regulation of transportation and the de. feat of ,he Funding bill, but an enlarge ment of the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission as well. Every intelligent railroad man must know that to curtsil the enormous power yielded by the railroads would efeciually put a stop to black lists and those numerous other devices which railroad companies know so well how to employ in Intimi. dating and enslaving their employees. If there were no other issue before the country than that of bringing these ar. rogant and oppressive corporati ns under the law and making them the useful agencies that they might be, the demo. cratic party would have good reason for existence -Exa miner.
