1t may be a question whether the

used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found il
reliable. 10 many cases dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be.
lieye that ifa bottle of Chamberlain
DiarrRoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence OF
a physician would not be required. At

CALLED TO ACCOUNTABLE. J. E..
Clements, acting Commonwealth At
torney for the county, has, by order of
Judge Love, of that county, called the
attention of every magistrate in that
county to the law that requires them
to make report every month to the
clerk of the County Court and to the
settlement they are to make with that
officer. He says the last grand jury
made report to the Judge, alleging
chat some OF the justices OF the peace of
the county had failed to make their
monthly reports. The Judge decided
70 take no action at that time but or
dered the clerk of the County Court
to inform all magistrates OF the coun-
ty in writing of the law and statutes
upon the subj and after they had
been notified, it was decided 10 take
the matter up for consideration. They
are, therefore, asked to report to Clerk
Rucker, on Monday morning, July %,
1900, at ten o'clock. SO that he will be
able to answer Cor them all questions
that may be propounded by Judge
Love at that time. The names of all
magistrates of the county will be called
and their accounts inquired into by the
judge at that time.

EXTRA WAR PAY.-The Comptrol

EXTRA WAR PAY.-The Comptroller
of the Treasury has approved ruling
which gives hundreds of Spanish war
soldiers an opportunity to draw extra
pay, and it may include some Virginia
soldiers. The Comptroller holds that
any officer or private of the late war,
resigning or securing an honorable dis
charge between the time when his regi
ment was ordered to be mustered out
and the time when it actually was mus
tered out is entitled to extra pay. Such
soldier is found to be 10 precisely the
same position as if he waited for the
mastering out Of mis- regiment.
The extra allowance thus granted
quals the pay of one month for each
soldier serving in this country, and two
for the fighters who were outside of the
nation.
The ruling was based on the applica-
ton by Otto Rehbern and David MUM
for the gratuity. Rehburn belonged to
the Third Georgia Volunteers, who
we're ordered on FEBRUARY 81, 1899, to be
mustered out. and were so mustered on
April 22od. Meanwhile, on March 10th,
Rebbern secured his discharge at Minas,
Cuba. The Mum case ia similar. Both
men are granted the extra pay, with the
understanding that they did not have a

OF ALL the grotesquely ridiculous
characters in American politics, none
exceeds Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts,
He condemned the annexation OF Ha-
wsii and then voted for 1t; he de-
nounced the Philippine war and then
supported it, and now, after oppoeing
all Mr.. McKinIey's imperialistic policy,
advocates 1t because it is better than BIZ
metallism, and because the democrats OF
the South dis.ranchise the negroes, favor
an income tax, and those OF the North
have for the last sixty years affiliated
with Southern men in favor OF "des-
potism, oppression and dishonor." But
Mr.. Hoar belongs to that unfortunate
class of men who il beaten In mortar

suicide at six o'clock this morning in
the lavstory OF the Grand Central sta

When he entered the waiting room he

excitement. Later shot was heard
and Mclaughlin was found on the floor
of the lavAtory with wound in his left

was no clue to the cause of his act.

EMPEROR" MCKINLEY says ne will
proteot the lives and property of Amer
leans in China, punish those who have
assailed Americans there, restore Or
der there, and prevent the spread OF
the late disorder there. That's the
way Napoleon and the Roman en-
perors used to talk, and the way the
Car of Russia talks now. Wonder
what the people of this country would
say if the government OF China were
to presume to use such language to-
wards the United States? But all un
wise emperors talk and act alike, and
all come to grief, sooner or later.

WITH an imperialistic head, all the
other parts OF the government natural
Iy feel that they also are imperialistic
within their own peculiar provinces.
So, it is not at all strange that the
superintendent OF the Indian school at
Fort Mojave, California, should have
refused to let the pupils go home at the
close OF that school, but insisted upon
keeping them there to work on the
school farm. Nor is it less strange
that the parents of the pupils should
resent such tyranny and threaten vio-
lent resistance.

A ship regularly engaged in deep

The stray line, with The sounding rod
and sinker attached, is over the guide
pully and carefully lowered to the
waters edge, the register is set to

clamped to the sounding line; a sea-
man is stationed at the friction line
which controls the velocity with which
the wire is unreeled, another at the
brake, and third on the grating out
side to handle the sinker and instru-
ments and to guide the wire as II
passes overheard; machinist is at
the hoisting engine, and the recorder
takes a position for reading the reg

vessel is maneuvered so as to keep
the wire vertical, and the friction line
is adjusted so as to allow it to descend
from 70 to 100 fathoms per minute.
The instant the sinker strikes bottom
which is unmistakably indicated by
the sudden release Of the wire from

GEN. CHARLES II. GROSVENOR,
He is all angles and points, and his en-
trance into a debate is the signal for
the bristling Of all the feathers on the
Democratic side. He is as obnoxious
to his opponents as cat is to a poul-
try yard.
Grosvenor is one OF the most effec-
! tive debaters in the House. He knows
political history for the last thirty
years and he has every mans political
record tucked away somewhere in his
well-flled BRAIN where he can get at
It at a moments notice. This makes
him very ugly customer. He has all
the resources Of a great criminal law
yer in controversy. Before he ever
went to Congress he had a reputation
in his state as one Of the best crimi-
nal lawyers who ever practiced in
Ohio-and that is saying a good deal.
GrosveLor is younger than he looS-s.
Tie is some years on the sunny side Of
co, but his appearance is that cf .
man older than this. He is of meagre
size with white hair and white beard
and a pair of shaggy eyebrows beneath
which CLEAN pair Of very bright eyes.
He served al through the war in an
Ohio regiment from 1861 to 1865 and
was promoted from major to colonel,
retiring with brevet of brigadier gen.
eral of volunteers. In the battle Of
Nashville he commanded a brigade.
Since the war he has never ceased to
fo1-o ha e. l. -
rades in arms. There has never been
pension bill that he did not vote for,
and he always hits out from the shoul-
der when veterans are under attack.
Grosvenor Is not a POLITICAL manager
or organizer like some others in Ohio,
but he is one of the most effective lieu
tenants that a great political organizer
could ask for. When Mark Hanna was
setting up the campaign which resulted
in McKinley's nomination, Grosyenor.

of the number of delegates Mckinley

papers, adding a few Mckinley dele.
gates here and there, to suit his taste,
and once a week would issue a bulle-
tin which kept the Mckinley column
continually on the jump. Pretty soon
people began to take Grosvenors 1g-
ures seriously. He chuckled to himself
and kept 1t up. When the convention
finally met there was a landslide and
Grosvenor found himself more than
justified. Since that time he has en-
joyed a reputation as a great statisti-
clan, although he really cares very lit
tie about political mathematics.
