Persons troubled with diarrhoea will
be interested in the experience of Mr.
W. NJ. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance,
Providence, r. l. lie SAYS: For
several years have been almost con
slant sufferer from diarrhoea, the
frequent attacks completely prostrating
me and rendering me unfit for my
duties at this hotel. About two years
ago a travelling salesman kindly gave
me small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Much to my surprise and delight its
effects were immediate. Whenever
felt symptoms of the disease l would
fortify myself against the attack with a
few doses of this valuable remedy. The
result has been very satisfactory and
almost complete relief from the aliiic
ton" For sale by Louis +. Strehlke Il

An interesting paragraph in the Salt
Lake Tribune the other day was one
clipped from the P;,Bquitch Progress,
stating that $50 horses were killed in
the round up last month near Fredonia
No doubt many wonder why the horses
were killed. In Garfield, Kane. Iron
and other southern Utah counties there
are thousands Of wild horses, and the
settlers have to kill them off as pests.
The horses are eating all the grass off
the ranges, and the settlers have to get
rid of them. Horses are cheaper than
sheep down there, as is instanced by a
constable at Beaver who WAS author
lied to employ men to capture and tame
band of the wild animals. About
seventy, five were caught, and on being
sold Eetted less than So head. Many
of the horses are high-bred animals,
while others are cayuses, but If a Sells,
Ringling, Gentry or other person in the
tented arena business we're in need of
fiery steeds he could get them in Utah
for freight charges. There is modern
1899 fairy story of another band of wild
horses that range on the promontory of
the Great Salt Lake north shore. This
band Is led by white stallion. who is
SAID to he one who would make Pegasus
feel ashamed of himself. Some one
in Box Elder county could make a rep

The complexion Of these girls is a
clear white. Their eyes and hair are
black, as rule, although so ne are per-
feet blondes. They are of kind and
loving disposition, and are said by the
white men who have tried to make ex-
cellent wives.
To avoid tramps and degenerates
marrying these girls, the Choctaw laws
provide that all white men, before they
can be admitted to the tribe, must pro-
duce recommendation of good charac-
ter from the county judge of the coun-
ty where they last resided.
1t is said that some of the most beau
tiful and popular girls of the Choctaw
tribe have received proposals of mar
riage from alleged French and English
men of title, but because they refused
to prove their ancestry were rejected.
1t is a queer sight to go into Choc-
taw town just now. AT the hotels are
stoppin at least a dozen men whose
sole business is counting Choctaw wom-
en-, with the purpose OF matrimony
Not long ago a Choctaw girl, just for
fun, inserted an ad in a matrimonial
paper. She received several hundred
answers
