Very Remarkable Cure of Dianaoea.

About six years ago for the first time in my life I had sud den and severe attack of diarr- hoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller of Morgan, Texas. 'I got tempo rary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years 1 have suffered more mis- cry and agony than l can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dol lars for physicians prescriptions and treatment without avail. Fi- nally we moved to Bosque coun- ty, our present home, and enc day 1 happened to see an adver- tisement of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy with testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. 1 could hardly realize that 1 was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me-" For sale at COtter's drug store.

 bills, Now, sah, I'll just count out about what I think, sah, would be a fair amount, sah, and
 then, sah, I'll see what you have
 to say about it, sah." Then,
 picking off a $500 bill from the roll the planter laid it on his
 knee and added another and an. other and another until there
 were five of them, and, locking
 up, said, ''Now, sah, that is about what 1 thought was right, sah, and what have you to say about 1t, sah2" The old attor- ney, bursting with suppressed emotion as he saw the bills laid out, nevertheless struggled to be equal to the occasion. He struggled to speak, but did so with difficulty. At last his lips parted and he said with dignity,
 ''Well, think perhaps you had better make it another five. "- Case and Comment.

Just Like a Lawyer.

A story is told of an old attor- ney in Southern Illinois during war times, who, when all the young lawyers were at the front, was engaged one day by an old planter to draw some afidavits of loyalty by which to obtain the release of cotton that had been seized for confscatiOn. The old attorney drew the affi- davits, and the planter succeed ed in getting his cotton, where upon, with great satisfaction he told the attorney to meet him on the levee the next morning at 9 o'clock and he would pay him. The attorney, who was sadly in need of funds, lay awake all night trying to decide what charge he should make, and wondering if $50 would be too much, and if possibly S100 would be willingly paid by the old planter, who had succeeded in getting very valuable cotton by his aid. With feverish head and parched lips the old man went down to the levee at the ap- pointed time and met the planter, not yet able to decide what

pending before tn commission for inves-

tions probably amounting in the aggregate
to $I5,ooo,ooo annually equivalent upon
per cent basis to almost $500, 900 900 in
capitalization.
The railroad is the greatest and most
dangerous OF all monopolies. If the an
thracite coal combine tenders the price OF
that commodity to the consumer one dolar
per ton, it levics upon poverty of this
country which uses tn ccoal tax of $50
100000 annually upon the wealth which
engineered and profits by that combine.
How shall tn epubic be protected against
this kind Of extortion? Publicity in the
competest form has been tried in vain.
The Sherman Law.
TO this end the Sherman law has been
applied in its strongest form in vain. II
has been suggested that the injured party
might sue in court and recover the un-
reasonable charge from the railway but
the coal dealer who pays the freight will
not sue for his, but recoups himself bv

1t would be no remedy to permit that CON
sumcr to bring suit and recover from ST.

Manifestly no right to get back any
portion of an unjust rate already paid
can be of the slightest value, and the
way to prohibit this is perfectly plain.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
GREATLY DISAPPOINTED

Berlin, Dec. 27.-The German govern
ment is disappointed by President Roose-
velts decinaton to be arbitrator in the
Venezuelan dispute, but in pursuance of
his decision will correspond at once with
Great Britain and Italy on the question
that must now be agreed upon, such as
raising the blockade and the definite form
of request whereby Venezuela on one side
and Germany, Great Britain and Italy on
the other will ask the Hague tribunal to
adjudge the dispute.
The interchange of views on these and
other requirements probably will take place
at Washington, where the ambassadors can
confer freely with Secretary Hay and OBJ
tain through him President Castro's assent
to the precise propositions.
The German foreign office considers
Washington a convenient place for further
negotiation.
Foreign Secretary Won Richthofen re-
grets the long delay which is likely to
ensue before the final adjustment of the
controversy. He had relied upon Pres-
dent Roosevelt's personality to take up the
case and reach a decision quickly
Baron Won Richthofen recognizes the
declination is in strict accord with his
message of December 2. in which, refer
ring to The Hague tribunal he says: 1T
is far better where possible to invoke such
a permanent tribunal than to create special
arbitrators for given purpose"
When Baron von Richthofen received
Secretary Hays note he had in his desk
the summary of the note transmitted from
Washington by the Associated Press.
