If it required an annual outlay ST.
O0.O0 to insure family against any
serious consequences from an attack
of bowel complaint during the year
there are many who would feel it
their duty to pay it; that they could
not afford to risk their lives, and
those of their family for such an
amount. Any one can get this insur-
ance for 25 cents, that being the
price of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy. In almost every neighborhood
some one has died from an attack of
bowel complaint before medicine
could be pocured or physician sum-
moned. One or two Goes of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case.
It never fails. Can you afford to
take the risk for so small an amount?

On page 1873 of the Annual Re.
port of the State Auditor for the
year ending June 3Oth, 1895, we
find that Henry Klindt, the pres
ent representative from this dis
trict and candidate for reelection
on the popullst ticket, drew 1923
mileage while serving as represen.
tative in the 1895 legislature.
According to the law, members of
the Legislature are entitled to
mileage of "hve cents TOR every
mile of necessary travel in going
to and returning from the place of
meeting of the lie yislature on the
mort usual route" The distance
from Mr.. Klindt's place to Pierre
son the most usual route" (via
M.llerl is about 100 miles. Five
cents a mile, each way, for 100
miles would amount to $12, or
81 less than Mr.. Klindt collected
aud the CHIEF can't quite under
why this extra $11 was charged.
Will Mr.. Klindt please explain.

The Free Coinage Problem.

The Free Coinage Problem.
A penny magazine, containing
popular discussions on the money
question from y Sound Currency
standpoint, puts information on
this disturbing question within
the reach Of all.
The first two numbers of the
"Present Problems" series are
"The Free Coinage Problem" by
Lewis N. Dembitz, of Louisville,
Ky, and "a Horrible Cr,me," by
Alex P. Hull, of Atlanta, Ga.
The latter contains several clever
sstires on the money question.
The former contains, in 4S small
pages, as clear, concise and COM
plete a presentation of the free
coinage problem as can be had at
any price. The history OF our
coinage acts since 1884 is accurate,
and as full as is necessary to q
general understanding of the press
ent question. The reasoning as to
how farmers, laborers and silver
mine owners will be affected BY
the proposed legislation ia sound
and thorough. 1t is just such a
popular discussion as should be in
the hands of all intelligent voters
before next November. It is pub.

breaking Of the storm was accompanied
by many demonstrations of fright by in
dividuals and by crowds, the panic of one
spreading to others. The lowering sky,
the bowling Of the tempest and the flying
debris frightened the crowds in the streets
out Of self-control. Everybody started
10 run, without much regard to obstacles,
personal or otherwise, that might come in
their way. And there was shouting and
screaming to add to the confusion.
The damage to property was widespread
and serious. The first tempest of wind,
