FAKE STORY ABOuT DuRRANT
In Which Pastor Of Church was Re
ported as contessing to the Crime.


A few weeks ago the Telegram pub
lished a clipping purporting to have
been taken by one of the state papers
from the Rails County, California,
Times, in which it was stated that
the pastor Of the church in which
Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont
were murdered, had confessed to the
crime and Theodore Durrant was in
nocent. Rey.J. George Gibson was
the pastor, and being well known in
the Baptist denomination, a divine
here wrote to Rev. David P. Ward, of
Pasadena, California, a state Sunday
school missionary, for corroboration
or denial of the story, and received the
following letter, exposing the falsity
of the clipping;
My Dear Bro:
There is no truth in the statement
you sent me in regard to Bro. j. Geo.
Gibson. In the first place there is no
such county in California, as Rails.
1t was story gotten up for newspaper
notoriety. Rev. Gibson is doing well
and has the full confidence OF his
brethren in the ministry and of the
Christian people in the city and State.
Yours in service,
DAVID P. WARD.

For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines!

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
North Carolina.
Itmay be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommendan any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as 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 It reliable. In many cases
a dose Of this remedy would save hours
Of suffering while aphysician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that If a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy we're
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 least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by Cunning

of Palestine of the present day still

are still the same; the picturesque Arab
