About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. 1
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician and it was
under his care for week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un-
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Cham herlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and decided to try it. soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthY.-C. L.

WHY President Dole Comes.

Loren A. Thurston, formerly Hawaiian
minister to the United States and at
present in Washington as the island re-
public's representative in behalf of the
annexation treaty, made the following
statement relative to President Dole's
mission to the United States: 1.-The
Hawaiian legislature meets in regular
session in February. If annexation is to
take place there will necessarily be some
legislation to adapt the laws to the
changed conditions. If it Is not to take
place, the refunding of the bonded debt
will probably be taken up, which would
not be done if annexation is to take
place. The present bonds draw 6 per
cent interest and can be taken up at any
time. The entire debt can he refunded
at from to u per cent by the present
government. There being no cable COM
munication and the mails being so slow
and so far apart, and the information
obtained by letter being at best uusatis-
factory, President Dole determined to
come TO Washington and observe the
conditions for himself in order to guide
him in making recommendations to the
legislature"

A Rare Musical Event.

An extraordinary musical attraction
has been secured for Rock Island in
the Rock Band concert of the Till
family of London. which is to appear
in unique concert at the Central
church next Friday evening. This
extraordinary concert consists of Sc
lections on the ringing rocks or mu-
steal stones. swinging harps, musical
glasses, zithers. gigilera. etc, and
songs and readings. The Till family
owe their renowned reputation to the
fact that they are the only musical
organization who play upon rocks.
Chambers Journal (London) says;
This is not mere musical curiosity.
but an effective instrument. produc-
ing most delightful music. The very
rocks and stones are unconsciouslv
possessed of latent spirit of delicate
melody, and touched as by the mrgic
wand of an enchanter emit sounds so
rich. full and sweet that they leave the
ear and heart literally charmed with a
power of fascination perfectly irresist-
ible.''
