is IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
MedicinesP


From Sylvan Valley News, Breyard, ". C.
1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right TO
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
markets, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found II reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure
but we do believe that If a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at tho
inception OF an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very MANY
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists. Matthews Bros, wholesale
and retail agents.

KNOWN AS A PoLYGAMIST.
Testimony Before House Committee
Investigating Federal Appoints
ecs in Utah.

Washington, March 5. = Rev. Will
liam r. Campbell, of Utah, was exam
med by the house committee inves-
tigating the charges that certain feder-
al appointees are polygamists. He
said it was matter of common repute
that John-C. Graham, the postmaster
at Provo, Utah, maintained polyga-
nous relations and had children by
his plural wife.
Similar testimony was given as to
Orson Smith, lately postmaster at Lo-
gan, Utah. The cross-eXamination was
directed mainly to showing that the
witness had no personal knowledge of
the facts. and spokr only from general
hearsay He presented two copies of
letters signed by Private Secretary
Porter, acknowledging the receipt of
letters from Rev. Cemenson, of Logan,
Utah, protesting to the president
against the appointment of Smith. Mr..
Porter's acknowledgment stated that
the letters had been referred to the
PoStmaSter general.

"Of these $1,000 La Fayette dollars the
first to issue from the mint was especially
preserved for your excellency, by the presd-
dent of the United States. and have now
the distinguished honor, Mr.. President, of
presenting TO you this coin, simple and
sympathetic token in his name and for
the people of the United States.
Il voice the sentiments of my country
men when l express the hope that this
memorial dollar, stamped with the likeness
OF Washington and La Fayette, may re-
main always, as 1t is to-day, an emblem of
the amity and unity of purpose of the two
great republics of the world"
President LOubets Response.
In reply the president said he was
deeply touched by the kind thought of
Americas president and people and
particularly by the gracious manner
in which the coin had been presented
to him by Mr.. Thompson. He begged
the latter to be the interpreter to the
president of his warmest thanks and
sentiments towards President McKin-
Icy and the American nation which
animated the president and govern
ment of the French republic. M. Lou
bet added that he congratulated him
self on receiving this souvenir, which
was a fresh pledge of the reciprocal
ties of esteem and friendship which
had SO long united France and the
United States and which he hoped to
see draw closer and stronger more and
more.
President Loubet concluded with
saying that it was especially agreeable
to him that the mission was intrusted
to Mr.. Thompson in view of the in
itiatory part which he took in the sub
scriptions of the school children of the
United States to erect monument to
Gen. La Fayette in Paris.
The French president then invited
Gen. Porter and Mr.. Thompson to stay
to luncheon, at which Nine. Loubet
and NJ. Delcasse were present.
