A GOOD COUGH MEDICINE.

Many thousands have been restored
to health and happiness by the use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. II az
f1icted with any throat or lung trouble
give it a trial, for it is certain to prove
beneficial. Coughs that have resisted
all other treatment for years have
yielded to this remedy and perfect
health been restored. Cases that
seemed hopeless, that the climate of
famous health resorts failed to beneit,
have been permanently cured by its
use. For sale by F. H. Eggleston.

The farmers OF western Nebraska are
increasing their irrigated acreage with
each succeeding year. They have
learned through sad experience that it
will not do to defend upon rainfall. The
entire western half If the state is in
the arid belt n there are only occas-
ional years when the rainfall is suf-
f1cient to produce a crop. The land
which has been brought under water
from the North Platte and other
streams eturns large crops without
fail. All that is required to make the
people prosperous is for them to learn
the lesson Of irrigation.

Of Judge Brown, The Republican re-
grets that the Boomerang's political
virtue and seeming fairness only crops
out when an appointment is to be made
by a republican executive. When the
democrats are in power it conveniently
discovers that the brains and fitness
are confined to the democratic party.
In fact, no republican has ever had the
temerity Cor galD to seek an appoint
ment under a democratic administra-
ton. The talk about the maladminis-

POLITICAL NOTES.

There has been considerable expan-
sion in the amount of money in cir
culation since the campaign OF 1896.
The per capita circulation of the IN
tied States has expanded from $21.35 on
June l, 1896, to s26.5 so on June 80, 1900
"a gain of s5.25 in tour years.
Since Mr.. Bryan began to tell the
people four years ago that what they
wanted was some money, thew have
added at the rate Of $135, 21N, 800 annual
ly to the circulating medium.
Five hundred and thirty thousand
dollars an hour, more than $4,000 a
minute, or $3.50 per second, is the rate
at which the people have increased the
circulating medium of the country in
the last four years, if we count the &C.

NEw OYSTER PoLlcs BOAT.
THE CHESAPEAKE STILL ENGAa-
ED IN SURVEY WORK IN THE
JAMES RIVER

The new forty foot naptha launch
purchased by the State Board of Fish
cries for use in the James river will go
into commission Saturday. Its terri
tory embraces all of the oyster grounds
from above Mulberry Island to New
port News. Its headquarters will be at
that city.
The launch is said to be in excellent
condition. 1t is now Mt Mathews re-
ceiving cover. There are several can
didates for the position of master of the
little vessel. but 1t is understood that
an Eastern Shore man will be appoint
ed. A captain and crew of two or three
will be carried by the boat.
For long time the Board of Fishe-
ries has recognized the necessity of a
police boat which can follow oyster
boats into shoal water when the laws
are being violated or when certain
tongers are wanted by the State au-
thorlties.
The State oyster gunboat Chesapeake
has too great a draft to follow the
small boats into shoal water. The
re-surveys of the oyster grounds of the
James river from above Mulberry ISL
and down to Newport News.
The steamer has been on this duty for
about month and the re-survey has
progressed. only as far as Warwick
river. II looks now as IL 1t would re-
duire many weeks more to complete the
work. and Captain Hudgins. command
ing the Chesapeake. may ask the Board
of Fisheries to temporarily discontinue
the survey in order to let the Chesa-
peake go on other duty.
The board will hold its next meeting
at Newport News on September 10. The
meeting will probably be held at the
Warwick Hotel 1t IS expected that
this will be an important session as
there is n lot of work to be done. in
Guiding the appointment of a master
for the James river police boat. The
board will receive n report in reference
to the re-survey of the oyster grounds
in the James.

from office boy to head clerk. Since
his promotion John had several times
asked for a raise in his salary, and
each time his request had been grant
ed. One morning John again appeared
at the old merchants desk with an
other request for an increase of 10
shillings per month. IVY, Shon," !"
said Mr.. Lowenstein, 81 dink l bays you

confidently. 81 am your principal
help here. L know every detail of
the business, and, indeed, L think you
could not get along without me-" "Is
dat SOP" exclaimed the German.
''Shon, wot YOU'D I do suppose you
vas to die?" "Wel," hesitated John,
81 suppose you would have to get
along without me then" "The "old
man" took several whiffs from his
big pipe, and said nothing. At last
he remarked: 'Vell, Shon, think
you better consider yourself dead."-
