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 wanted is some
thing mild and sure, such as Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Dlarrhoea Rem
edy. That is really pleasant to take when
reduced with water and sweetened. Then
it is acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world for
bowel complaints. Ask any number of
druggists for the best remedy they have
for diarrhoea and July nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr.. B. B. Buff
fun of Friendsville. Susquehanna Co..
Pa, says: "We have used it in our family

Fulton, ILL.,, August 14.-Head Attorney
johnson of the Modern Woodmen of
America, was one of those arrested in
connection with yesterdays riot, and has
been served with an injunction issued
late last night by Master in Chancery Nc
Pharen at Sterling, for the purpose of
preventing any further efforts to remove
the headquarters of the order to Rock
Island by force. 1t was in 1879 that the
Modern Woodmen of America were or
ganized under the laws of Illinois. Their
charter expressly stipulated that the head
quarters should be in the State of
Illinois. The place within the State was
immaterial, but as Fulton was the home
of j. G. Root, one of the founders of the
order, he selected that place as the head
quarters of the organization. Afterward
Root concluded to remove the head
quarters to Omaha, but Fulton people
vigorously objected. The case being tired
it was determined In favor of Fulton, it
being the permanent home of the associa-
ton. Root appealed and the Supreme
Court confirmed the decision. The fight
to keep headquarters at Fulton was not
re-opened until two years ago, when
during the Milwaukee convention, the
city of Rock Island, ILL.,, offered to fur
nish the order permanent building at
that place if the headquarters were
brought there. 1t was accepted and the
records ordered removed. While the
charter provides that the headquarters
shall remain in the State, it does not in
dictate the town and the court Of Illinois
have so held.
The Call for Troops.
Springfield, ILL.,, August 14.-Governor
Tanner received many dispatches during
the night about the Woodmen trouble.
The call for troops was made by Mr..
Medill of Rock Island. The Governor has
given. out the following statement con-
corning the affair:
"The messages received have led me to
believe that the Rock Island people or the
Woodmen pursued an unwise course in
chartering the train and loading it with
500 Rock Island citizens and proceeding
into Fulton with so much gusto and
show. Such a course was calculated to
create riot. If the courts decree that
the records and books of the Modern
Woodmen belong in and shall be removed
to Rock Island, the whole power of the
State is behind the courts to enforce their
decree. But in order to procure that
power they must proceed in an orderly,
lawful and peaceful manner. I am
pleased today to see that all is peaceful
and quiet and that the outcome has justi-
fed the wisdom of my action in refusing
troops"
