Mr.. A C. Wolfe, of Dundee, Mo-,
who travels for Mansur & T1bbetts,
Implement Co., of st. Louis, gives
travelling men and travellers in general
some good advice. Being a Knight
of the Grip" he says, 81 have for the
past three years made it rule to keep
myself supplied with Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and have found numerous occasions
to test its merits, not only on myself,
but on others as well. 1 can truly say
that 1 never, in a single instance, have
known 1t to fail. 1 consider 1t one of
the best remedies travellers can carry
and could relate many instances where
1 have used the remedy on sceptics,
much to their surprise and relief. ]
hope every travelling man in the U. S.
will carry a bottle of this remedy in
his grip" For sale by all druggists.

ELECTION POSTPONED.

The San Antonio Zouayes held a
meeting in their armory last night for
the purpose of electing officers, but
owing to the fact that Capt. Herman
DEE has been suspended from com
mand by General Mabry on a trivial
charge for six months, the election was
postponed for that length of time.
As it was an assured fact that the
popular little captain would be re-
elected to succeed himself, the boys
decided to wait until his reinstatement
when the election will occur.
The exhibition drill, they proposed
giving tomorrow night, has also been
postponed.

OUR MIDNIGHT sERENADERs.
"Suburban Music.

From McHugo's Weekly Chronicle.
The Chronicle well remembers the
classical eloquence of eX-aiderman
Hon. Mr.. Daugherty when lie insisted
that his Cow Bell' ordinance should
be passed by the city council When
he was recognized by the mayor, and
began, with the rich brogue, peculiar
to the Irish: HE who loves not the
concord of sweet sound" a complete
silence reigned in the hall, and some
thought he would become champion
of the cracked COW bell, and that idea
increased when he vowed that he new
er had heard anything so angelically
sweet, as the first Cow Bell symphony
when he moved out and into his new
home at South Heights. He declared
it was a medly of the music of MoZ-
art. Bach, Chopin, MendelssOhn, Wag-
ner. Strauss and all the great Tone
masters" requiring chromatic scale
with a beginning from the deepest
BASS Profundi' with whole scale
for the Pibroch, and ending in the
highest falsettO, attainable by the hui
man voice. and when he declared that
the Divine .Alelina Patti could not
repeat his COW bell symphony, it was
thought the nocturnal chimers had
Daugherty for their friend, but when
he declared that the nightly repetition
had nauseated his cultivated ear fol
music to an unbearable extent, wheI
he detained how soon the cracked
bell spoiled harmony, he scored vic
tory for himself and neighbors in Civ
ing them rest they could not enjoy
before his ordinance was passed.
of late the Chronicle has heard com
plaints regarding these suburban sere
noders. and it would be well if owners
of cows. who are used to COW bells
could and would remember that there
are people who, like Mr.. DauSherty
don't want a good thing all the tlme
| The music is getting too plentiful.

TO TEST THE SEWERS.

But the Way to do it Has Not Yet
Been Discovered.
The city council sewer committee
held an informal session yesterday
afternoon in the mayors Office to con-
slider the best means of testing the
complete sewer system this week pre-
paratory to acceptance.
City Engineer Wyschetski was pres
ent with considerable data on sewers,
and the committee was also armed
with the sewer contract. a long dis
cussion of methods of testing sewers
elected the remarkable fact that there
was no known test for complete sew
ers except the primitive way OF the
engineer getting down into the man.
holes and with lighted lanters see
ing if the lights show clear through
the section examined.
The water test was considered and
was deemed the most practicable to
discover leaks but it was not deemed
advisable to fill the sewers with wa
ter as the pressure would be too great
and would burst the brick sewers,
which are built not to withstand an
inside but an outside pressure or
weight.
There is nothing in the contract
providing for any special test OF sew
ers and this has placed the sewer
committee and the engineers in sad
dilemma.
Inspection of some kind will be
commenced by the Engineers and sew
err committee tomorrow morning at
$50 o'clock.
