Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov

years have been almost a constant suf-
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this

salesman kindly gave me small bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight it's effects were imme-
diate. Whenever felt symptoms of the
disease would fortify myself against
the attack with few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affiiction." For sale by

WANTED FLOWERS.
But the Congressman Informed Her
That He Had to Draw the
Line Somewhere.

A certain south hern congressman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues last week in the democratic
cloak room of the house with an &C.
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. "During the
woman suffrage convention" said he,
"several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention one
OF them came to the capitol, called at
my committee room, and requested On
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort of a
public meeting, in which she was to
participate, and requested that should
provide e floral tribute .tobe presented
to her -ont hat occasion. /.
II was naturally somewhat taken
ahack atthe; suggestion. I Isupposed in
the course OF my IL years in congress
that I had exhausted about every
variety of duties that member of the
house scaled upon to perform. I
have always been ready and willing to
run errands for my constituents, for
which at home my Office boy would
have sufficed. I have catered to the
whims of offce-seekers. When my con-
stituents haye come to me hungry l
have fed them, and when they have
come shelterless I have given them
lodging. have taken my political sup
porters to the theaters by hundreds,
but I was forced to inform my lady Wis
ltor that I must draw the line at bou-
quets."

COLLIDES WITH AN ICEBERG,
Bark Theodore Has a Remarkable
Escape from Destruction in
Southern Pacific

The four-masted German bark Theo-
dore, which arrived at San Francisco
the other day, had remarkable es-
cape from destruction in the Southern
ocean on her last trip, when she ran
into great iceberg near the Falkland
isles and was badly damaged. Capt.
Homer said, in telling of the accident:
ut was about three a. M, with a
clear sky, but hazy horizon. We were
on the port tack with all sail set and
the ship was making about five knots
an hour. Suddenly a big iceberg doomed
up in front of U.S., and before anything
could be done the Theodore struck
| bow on. Is! ~ ~
"Our bows were stove in. but our wa
ter-tight bulkhead saved U.S. The fore
mast went,by the board and the yards
broke into splinters. OF fthemainmast
nothing was left but the maintop and
| main yard.
LAS soon as we struck the vessel
went broadside on, and then current
of wind filled her sails and she backed
off. IT, -. 4: y
'The iceberg was about three miles
long and had an overhanging cliff
which to owered above our masts. We
struck her under the. cliff and, hun
dreds of tons fell on our decks: In
fact, it took the:men a whole day with
sledges and crowbars to break UP our
unwelcome deck: load and get it over
board. Then, as we backed away from
the berg, the whole of the overha angling
cliff fell into the ocean and nearly
swamped US. ...,... -
