A YOUNG LADY's LIFE SAVED.
AT Panama, Colombia, by Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and D'arrhoea

Remedy.
DIR. Charles II. Utter, a prominent
physicion OF Panama, Colombia. in a re-
cent letter states: Last March had
as a patient a young lady l6 years of
oge, who had a very bad attack of dys-
entery. Everything l prescribed for her
proved Intellectual and she was growing
worse every hour Her parents We're
sure she would die. She had become so
weak that she could not turn over in
bed. What to do at this critical moment
was a study for me, but | thought of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhtea Remedy and as u last resort pre-
scribed it. The most wonderful result
was effected. Within eight hours she
was feeling much better; inside of three
days she was upon her feet and at the
end of one week was entirely we'll. For
sale by druggists.

A PEsTlFERous GERM.
Burrows UP the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair
as a rule do not know that it is the re-
suit of dandruff, which is caused by q
pestiferous parasite burlowing up the
scalp as it digs down to the sheath in
which the hair is fed in the escalp.
Before long the hair root is shriveled
up and the hair drops out If the work
of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps
thinning until badness comes. The
only way to cure dandruff is to kill the
germ, and until now there has been no
hair preparation that would do it; but
today dandruff is easily eradcated by
Newbro's Herpicide, which makes hair
glossy and as soft as silk.

. The annual fete day of the coIored
citizen, May 30th. is approaching, and

During the past few years the Govern

possible, and the presence of the com
panies of soldiers has a deterrent eff
feet upon the tough element who gath
err in the woods there to shoot, cut
dance and engage in orgies of every
description. Thirty Of these Congo
braves were run down by the Ameri-
Gus military and civil authorities last
May day aud brought here for trial.
One is now serving life term for muir

were given changing sentences for

AMER1CUs Is FORTIFIED NOW
And Beef Combine Has Few Terrors
For Us.

Some time ago the Beef Trust was
given solid thrust in the organiza-
ton Of the Americas Fishing Club,
composed of the favored forty among
our expert disciples of Isaac Walton,
and crisp Dream and juicy catfish took
the place of broiled COW and galvan-
lied bull steak of the latest Chicago
vintage.
And now another staggering blow is
delivered the sonIless and grasping
Beef Trust from this corner of the
moral vineyard.
The Americas Frogging Fraternity,
duly organized and differed, is on
deck, and will eschew beef to chew the
delicious propeller blades of the hop
full Muckalee frog.
If there is dish more palatable
than juicy, tender frog legs it is anoth
er dish just like it. The stock is in
exhaustibIe, the sport exEiIarating
and at least until bIackberries get ripe
Americus is going to fairly reveI in
delicious, tender froglegs.
The club just organized is compos-
ed of experienced frog spearers.
1t is not organized in opposition to
the Favored Forty Fishers who con-
troll Wells MilIpond and fishing pre-
serves, but rather is an adjunct there
to, both standing for the same high
principle of antagonlsm to trusts.
A prominent insurance agent is
president, lawyer vice president, the
deuce of Lees, in fact, while a young
courthouse official holds the response
BILE position of eye sinner of the frogs.
No admission fee is required; in fact,
the only requisite in the bylaws is
that the president wear socks durin g
the nocturnal peregrinations along the
banks of Muckalee in quest of the
speckled hoppers. But this needless
expense need not be incurred by 9TH
er members during the season.
The Frogging Fraternity is now out
for business, and yesterday it's ranks
were augmented by several candidates
who failed torun ahead in Wednesday s
primary.

CLOSING OF SCHOOLS SHORTLY
Americas Halls Of Learning Will
Soon Suspend

The Americas public schools will
close early in June for the summer va,
cation Of three months, and the event
prospective is anticipated with I'M
f5igned delight by hundreds of pupils,
embracing those in all departments
from the fair graduate down to tho
barefoot boy with bruised heel, who
even now permits his thoughts to wan
der, inadvertently, OF course, from his
we'll thumbed book to the cool depths
OF Muckalee whore the goggled-eyed
perch and the redeye await his coming.
The ter n soon to end has been one of
the most successful in the history of
our schools. The attendance is the
largest in twenty years, and more good
work has been accomplished in all the
grades. The ''class of 1902" is the
largest that has ever graduated from
Furlow School, and commencement
day is an occasion happily anticipated
by more than twenty pupils who thus
complete the full course Of eleven
years it inEthe city Schools.
