1T is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. Y dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some retief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saving the dbctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
MIR. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Rem Ady to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

been very active in destroying vii
iages and slaughtering native chris
tians. The governor OF the province
had dispatched a force of cavalry to
the scene OF disturbance, but the
soldiers arrived too late to save the

DAVIS SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS
Assistant Secretary Will Resign to
Take Lecture Platform.


Washington, d. c., April 2.-As
foretold in these dispatches to the
Times, Webster Davis, assistant sec
retary of the interior, will shortly
retire from official life to go upon the
lecture platform to plead the cause
Of the Beers of South Africa.
To-day, after having completed ar
lrangements for an extensive lecture
tour at compensation said to be IN
excess of his salary as an official OF
the republican administration. Mr..
Davis prepared this statement, which
he gave to the public through the
medium of his secretary, Frank Hum
mer:
webster Davis will to-day tender
his resignation to the president as
assistant secretary of the interior
Mr. Davis is impelled to take this
step as the result of his recent visit
to South Africa, and will avail him
self OF an opportunity to deliver a
public address in this city on the sub,
Jet of the war between Great Britain
and the African republics. He feels
that he can best serve the purpose o
arousing American sympathy for the
Beers by relieving himself OF the re
straint which his position as assistant
secretary OF the interior would impose
upon him, and has therefore decided
to resign"

1t Is Suggested that He Address Crowd

Clinton, Mo, March 3O.-In speak

in Kansas City at the convention,
Mai. H. W. Salmon suggests that ar

from a stand located at the Junction.
"There are tens of thousands of peo-
ple," says the Major, who can not
hope to get convention seat
and who will be glad togo to Kansas
City if they can see and hear Mr..
Bryan. Those who are disappointed
in getting into the heconvention will go
away satisfied if they can hear the
nominee.
The Junction is natural amphi
theater It's equal for rsuch a purpose

States. The arrangements commit

matter, and ii it can be announced
definitely that Mr.. Bryan will speaE
at this location it will prove a great

would of course not interfere with hi'
speaking in convention hall at sucl
time as the business of the convention

the things that presage democratic
victory in November. will be readily
understood from the fact that by the
last federal census there were 9.249,-
SAT foreign born denizens of the
United States of which 2.1S4, ,S94
were German-Americans. That the
German-American vote is a powerful
factor in our national politics goes
without question. That, largely
cast for Mckinley in 1896, it was the
decisive factor in that memorable
contest is equally unchallenged. The
German-American editors who as
sembled in this conference. or more
accurately, a majority of them, were
with Mckinley in 80 and are bitterly
opposed to him now. The German
American editor is not unlike his
American brother in journalism. He
knows his reading constituency. He
knows its sentiment upon public
questions. He wheels to it. Therein
lies all of the law and the prophets.
