"For three days and nights l suf-
fered agony untold from an attack of
cholera morbus brought on by eating
cucumbers," says M. e. Lowther,
clerk of the district court, Centeryille,
Iowa. 81 thought I should surely die,
and tried a dozen different medicines
but all to no purpose. l sent for a
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and three
doses relieved me entirely. went to
sleep and did not awake for eight
hours. On awakening few hours ago
felt so gratified that the first work
do on going to the Office is to write to
the manufacturers of this remedy and
offer them my grateful thanks and
say, God bless you and the splendid
medicine you make" This remedy is
for sale by druggists.

THE SNOB In SOCIETY.
ture from His British
Cousin.

The accepted definition of "snob,"
together with its attendant adjective,
"snobbish," is not the same in America
is in England. On the other side it
means social pretense of some kind,
and Thackery has shown under that
head what great variety of the spe-
cies there is But with us il does not
unnecessarily include pretense. When
we call person a snob the idea is in
tended to be conveyed is that he or
she is ultra exclusive and wishes to as
sociate only with persons who arScon.
sidered very smart. In fact. to be
smart person must necessarily be
somewhat snobbish, according to the
American eXclusiveness is even more
necessary than in places where the
lines are defined by rank, says the New
York Tribune. The so-called -Four
Hundred is, as everyone knows. di-
vided up into any number of sets and
cliques, but, nevertheless, despite as
sertions to the contrary. there is al
ways one set that is fashionable para
mount. That is to say. invitations
from its leaders are more priced than
any others, and to he admitted within
its limits is coveted honor. And here
we come Back to our accepted defini-
tion of the word "snob." People who
make an effort to get into this society.
and by so doing overlook and neglect
old friends. are termed snobbish, while
the members Themselves, who have no
desire to enlarge their small coterie.
or to hide their indifference to the
world at large, come under the same
classlfication. Thackeray's people,
with their miserable little attempts to
pass themselves off for other than they
Ne (and we safely assert that there
are more of that ilk in England than

the use of either term by an American
does not necessarily convey the same
idea as when spoken by an English
man.

FLIRTING WITH FACTS.
Instances Of the Way
the Daily Press Gets Things
Twisted,

Some funny things concerning the
paper trade appear in the daily papers
now and then. For example, a New
York paper stated recently that the
ground wood pulp mill at Sault Ste.
Marie has a daily capacity of 125,OOO
tons, and that a sulphite mill of a
daily capacity of $4,000 tons is very
near completion.
Another daily paper tells of watches,
chains and all sorts of iewelry having
been picked out of the beating engine
of mill at st. Joseph, Mich. and says
that once every week, when the beater
is cleaned. the employees of the mill
plunge head-first into it in search of
raluables, says the Paper Mill.
The impression is conveyed that n
handful of jewelry is fshed out on
every occasion.
In the field of daily newspaper work
1t is really wonderful that the mis-
takes made are so few. But such mis-
takes as these are not eXcusable.
\ seconds consideration would
show their improbability, not to say
The impossibility, and so prevent the
dissemination of misinformation.

DIME ON AN ERRAND.

is ten years old and weighs 900 pounds.
His sole occupation is to run errsnds.
All day long, with saddle on his back,
he stands ready.
One of his duties is to carry the mails
TO all the south-bound mail trains. He
has an open stall in the stable, and he
occupies il without hitching, with the
barndoor always open.
Dixie can always be trusted to return
to his stall promptly when his errand
is done. 1t matters not where the rider
dismounts, even if in the heart of the
business section of the city, the horse
resumes his trot back to his stall with
out paying any attention to street cars,
automobiles, threshing machines or
bicycles.
Dixie is especially useful when one
has but limited time to catch train.
He makes good run to the depot with
his rider, and then, when he sees that
he made his train, resumes moderate
gait on his return to the barn without
a rider. This knowing animal is fre-
quently sent from the barn to his own
er's home, situated some distance
away. Arriving at the house Dixie
waits patiently beside the door till
his master comes out.
Dixie has so far played but one joke
on any of his riders. One evening
young Ashtabula business man rode
him into the country to call on his lady
friend. knowing Dixies reputation
of standing without hitching, he left
him loose in the yard to Craze. After
a few hours wait Dixie started home,
unbeknown to the rider. arriving in
Ashtabula several hours ahead of him.

TUBERCULOSIS.
DIR. koch's Theory should Not he Too
Readily Accepted.

DENVER, July 81. - DR.. Charles
Gresswell, chairman of the sanitary COM
nittee of the National Live Stock asso-
citation, has issued bulletin on the sub
icct of human and bovine tuberculosis,
which is of interest in connection with
the theory of DR.. Koch as expressed at
the international tuberculosis congress
in London last week. DIR. Gresswell
says:
The telegraphic report of DIR. Koeh's
statement that he has discovered such
important differences between bovine and
human tuberculosis that, in his opinion
the diseases are not intcrcommunicabe
as was commonly supposed. is one of the
most important to the cattle industry and
the public, and the evidence for an
against should be carefully weighed al
final judgment suspended until. as d
Koch himself so justly recommends, Il
corrobOraton of his results has been OBJ
tanned by other observers.
Without being an alarmist / think it
is necessary to sound a note of warning
that conclusions SO much hoped for
should not too readily be accepted and
that as cattlemen or dairymen we cer-
tainly must not yet congratulate our
selves that the necessity for restrictions
and repressive measures against bovine
tuberculosis is over nor that this disease
in cattle has now no terrors for the hu-
man being"

nonunon teamsters fired into a body of
strikers yesterday afternoon. One man
was wounded, but not seriously. The
shooters were arrested. They claim TO
have fired in self defense. Labor troubles
in this city reached their elimination
when the City Front federation ordered
general strike on the docks of San
Francisco, Oakland, Mission Rock and
Port Costa, to 60 into effect at once. The
resolution to strike, which received the
unanimous Endorsement of every delegate
to the federation was short, but its effect
will be to cause Il temporary paralysis of
the shipping business of San Francisco

Scarcely a day goes by in Ashtabula,
D., but that cream colored horse
may be seen trotting along the main
business streets, with saddle on his

arms and loud whoa" Then the

cREscEus WORLDS CHAMPION.
All Records Broken by the Famous
Trotting stallion.


CLEVELAND, July 27.-Amid the en-
thusiastic cheers of nearly 10000 people
Cresceus, the worlds champion trotting
stallion, again demonstrated that he is
the peer of all trotters by trottng mile
yesterday afternoon over the Glenville
track in 2:02A This establishes a new
worlds trotting record for both sexes, re-
placing the former worlds record of
2:O3A, held by The Abbot.
The circumstances connected with this
remarkable performance were anything
but conducive to fast time. as, owing to
the heavy rains the track was not in the
best of condition, and it was about 6:30 p.
m. before the track was deemed to be in
sufficiently good shape to warrant making
the attempt. At that time the suns heat
had been replaced by cool breezes.
Never once faltering Notwithstanding
the terrific clip, he fairly flew to the wire,
being sustained only by his indomitable
courage and almost human intelligence,
not being touched once by the whip, his
sole urging being the drivers voice and
the laundering hoof beats of the accom-
panying runners.
As the time for the mile was announced
-2:O2M-and the immense crowd real
lied that a new worlds record had been
established Ketcham and his favorite
stallion were rendered an ovation such as
has been but seldom witnessed on a race
track
Cresceus now not only holds the worlds
trotting record for both sexes, but last
week at the Detroit grand circuit by trot-
ting in 2:0G8I and 2:05 in his race against
Charley Herr secured the worlds record
for the two fastest heats ever trotted in
race, his second mile in 2:O5 also being
new worlds record for the fastest mile
ever trOtted.
