Il had a severe attack of bilious
collie, got a bottle of Cham berlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
took two doses and was entirely
cured" says Rev a. A. Power, of
Emporia, Kan. My neighbor across
the street was sick for over a week,
and had two or three bottles of medi-
cine from the doctor. He used them
for three or four days without relief,
then called in another doctor who
treated him for some days and gave
him no relief, so discharged him. l
went over to see him the next morn
ing. He said his bowels were in
terrible fix; that they had been rum
ming of so long that it was almost
bloody flux. l asked him if he had
tried Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and he said
no. ! went home and brought him
my bottle and gave him one dose;
told him to take another dose in Is or
20 minutes if he did not find relief,

cured. l think it is the best medicine

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. II.

Timely information given Mrs.
George Long, of New Straitsville,
Ohio, saved two lives. A frightful
cough had long kept her awake every
night. She had tried many remedies
and doctors but steadily grew worse
until urged to try DR.. Kings New
Discovery. One bottle wholly cured
her. and she writes, this marvellous
medicine also cured Mr.. Long of
severe attack of pneumonia. Such

LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENT SOUGHT
Believed Law Can be Put Through
Without Much OPPOSE
ton.

There is resolution to be offered
at the next session of the Legislature
in which the mem bers of the state
militia in this city are very much in
terested. 1t is a law which provides
for paying membe of militia for
attending drills as well as for camp
service, and those who are behind the
movement are inclined to believe that
its passage can be secured without
any great amount ef work.
Some Chicago parties are framing
the statute and when it is completed
it is to provide for the payment to
each man of % cents for each drill he
has attended during the year, as well
as allowing him his usual fee of 81 per
dav for services during the encamp-
ment. This money would all be paid
at the same time, Immediately after
the state militia encampment.
In addition TO this, it is proposed to
make some sort of clothing allowance
to miIitiamen, an allowance similar to
that provided by the government for
soldiers in the regular army. Jus.
what this would amount to it is diff
cult to figure, but it is estimated that
each private should receive about $l6
per year as result of the change in
the law.
All Anxious for It's Passage.
He would receive about SIS for at
tending drills, there being about
thirty-two of these in year, and the

A RIOT IN THE JAIL
Twenty Maddened Women
Attack the Matron.
The Warden Coming to Her Aid, Assaulted.
Rescued by Sheriff and Deputies.
Straight Jackets For Two.
(By the Associated Press.3

New York, Dec. 27.-Twenty maddened
female prisoners in the Raymond Street
Jail, Brooklyn, rioted today and fercely
assaulted Matron Fannie Handy, and
Warden McGrath. There was no attempt
TO escape. The riot was the consequence
of nothing but i'll feeling. Miss Handy
was transferring the prisoners from one
corridor to another in the woman's sec
ton when she was attacked by Nellie
Jones, powerfully built woman, who had
been sentenced to fifteen days for intoxi-
cation. Miss Handy was felled. Nine
teen other prisoners then assaulted her.
While the blows rained thick upon her
head and body she managed to reach a
push button that rang a bell in the war
den's office. Warden McGrath rushed to
the woman's department without waiting
TO call for assistance. AS he entered the
corridor he diverted the attention of the
infuriated women and they jumped on
him. The blows were fast and furious
and McGrath went to the floor Hatpins
were brought into play and his face,
head and neck were gouged.
Miss Handy made her way through the
crowd and again rang the alarm The
sheriff under-sheriff and five deputies
replied They had much trouble in sub
DUNG the women, but succeeded, and two
of them were placed in straight Jackets.
The others were put in separate cells and

The latest dispatches from South Africa
show that Lord Kitchener has succeeded
in holding The invading Beers in check.
But he has not yet been successful in
expelling them from Cape Colony. while
small commanders continue to display as
tonishing daring and activity over an i'm
mensely wide field.
1t is questionable whether his procla-
nation will have much effect until Cen
eral Dewet has been captured. The
Beers are likely to regard it as sign of
weakness.

served in South Africa. The order will
probably be called the Star of Africa.
A dispatch from .Vryburg, dated Decem-

numbers, were then making an unexpected
movement westward. They had $50 wag-
ons. The dispatch suggests that they
were trekking to Damaraland. although
the Beers themselves denied such an in
tention.

dn the history of every nation when it
must educate its people in science and
drain them in manufactures and indus
tries, or it will go down. This higher
scientific education is the forerunner Of
high prosperity and the nation which fails
to develop the intellectual faculty for
production must degenerate, for it can
not stand still
In society as in biology, there are three
states. In the first, the state of primal
equilibrium things grow neither better
nor worse; the second is the state of evo-
luton or development, during which ami
mails and plants adapt themselves to their
environments and take on new charac
terstics; the third is that of degenera
tion, when they first stand still then
decay, and so go back to the earth from
which they sprang. The same is true
of nations. Our southland stands at the
beginning of the second state. We have
lived as long as we can upon the boun
lies of nature and have reached that
point at which we must study science,
learn the arts, use our material resources
and accumulate wealth, or else fall be-
hind and go down
The study of science and the applica-
tion of science always have gone and al
ways must go hand in hand. AS a mat
ter of fact, discoverers and appiers OF
science are often combined in the same
person. The interests of pure science
and of technology are largely identical,
and science cannot take a step forward
without opening new fields for industry
New truths in science always lead to new
developments in industry Hence, we
must have the inventor as we'll as the in
vestigator.
1t is not generally known that General
Lee was a great believer in scientific
and technical education. The Southern
people have still to realize the ideals OF
Lee in education.
