bilious collie

H. Sewer, a carpenter and build
er Of Kenton, Tenn, when suffering
intensely from an attack of bilious
collie, sent to a nearby drug store for
something to relieve him. The
druggist sent him a bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, three doses Of which
effected a permanent cure. This is
the only remedy that can be depend

work on pennsvlvania Rivers

During the past year number of
the more important streams of Penn
sylvania have been studied by the
photographers of the United States
geological survey. This work is in
line with public interest in this state
which framed the bill presented to
the last legislature for cooperation
with the federal government in a
comprehensive investigation by the
geological survey Of the water re-
sources of the state.
The present work of the geological
survey has been devoted to daily
observations Of river heights, and
frequent measurements of flow, from
which an accurate idea Of the monthly
and yearly discharge Of these streams
is obtained. One of the most inn
portant features about a stream for
those who would use its waters for
power or supply is the amount Of its
low water flow. Special care has
been used in the Investigations to
obtain this information. Another
interesting result Of the measurements
is the light they throw on the floods
and freshets of the past season. They
show the great volume Of these sud
den discharges as compared with the
light flow Of most of the streams
during the rest Of the year, and
raised the question whether the dis
astrous foods and the following low
waters Of so many Of the Pennsyl-
vania streams are not to some extent
due to the heavy cutting of timber at
their head waters. The Susquehanna
and its main tributaries were meas
ured at number of places, as were
also the schuykill, Juniata and Della
ware rivers, and ten or twelve other
smaller streams which are of value
as sources of water power and supply.
The investigation is part of the gem
eral study Of the country's water
resources which is being carried on
By the the geological survey.

Having disposed of the war reve-
nue. repeal bill the house of repre-
sentatives turned its attention to
the Indian affairs bill and spent sew
eral tedious sessions in its consider
alton. During the consideration of
this measure the speaker permitted
the discussion to range over a num-
Der of subjects and the remarks of
Representative Wheeler of Ken
tucky chronicled last week were
commented on. Mr.. Boutelle of
Illinois made, perhaps, the wittiest
reply to Mr. Wheeler and one that
drew frequent applause from the re-
publican side. Mr.. Corliss of Mich
igan also took occasion to present
his views on the question of a Pacific
cable, the government ownership Of
which be warmly advocates. Speak
ing to your correspondent on the
subject Mr.. Corliss said yesterday :
1.-The United States should profit by
the example of other nations. Eng
land has for the past fifty years
been acquiring by purchase and con-
struction cable communication with
her vast possessions until she has
expended upwards of hundreds of
millions of dollars for this purpose
and she operates her own cables
connecting colonies. She>is now
constructing a cable from VancSu-
yer to Australia at cost Of nearly
nine million dollars and, in order to
give her tradesmen and manufac-
turers the benefit of this communi-
cation at the least possible cost, has
fixed a rate of fifty cents per word
from Vancouver to New Zealand
The right to construct and operate
the Pacific cable is a public utility
or franchise held by the people.
This control is an inherent right
held by the people. It's construc-
tion and operation viii necessarily
become for great many years a
monopoly and should not be trans
ferIed from the control Of the peo
pie"

The Men,a supnsr.

Notwithstanding the prevalence
of the worst storm of the season the
mems supper last Friday night was
well attended. It seemed impossi-
bic for people to get out but the at
traction to many overcame the DIFF
dcuity and by means Of sleighs
kindly provided by Mr.. Nelson and
his energetic assistants those who
wonld not otherwise have braved
the elements were enabled to be
present. Inside the church all was
warmth and brightness and guests
forgot for a time the raging storm
in the enjoyment Of the bountifnl
repast and thepleasures Of social in
tercourse
That these suppers are immensely
popular is evidenced by the large
attendance under such unfavorable
conditions Fully 100 partook of
the repast and all were glad that
they had the temerlty to come out.
Had the night been reasonably ia
vorable the attendance would likely
have been nearly double. The net
proceeds were 1916.

cussing the work being done by the
women Of Connections ia their eff

to the ballot through the constitu-
tional convention now in session in
that state, says
EVERY day while the oonstitu
tional convention is in session at the
capital, under the same roof in the
supreme court room is a band of de.
termined women who hold meetings
in the cause of woman's suffrage
The arguments put forth are we'll
backed up any broad minded fair
man could not deny that it wonld
be only justice to give gomankind
the privileges for which this little
band, and vast numbers Of great
ones all over the country are work
ing"
1t seems incredible that so many
refuse to consider seriously the
cause Of suffrage. Wake mp if you
are a woman, take at least a sympa-
thetic interest in what concerns
every woman in the United States.
Many believe that all it amounts to
is going to the polls election day
and dropping a ballot into the box.
They consider this "unwomanly -
Why? "Because one would be
obliged to mix up with lot Of hor-
rid men, =" is the usual excuse, land
it would make a woman so rough
and masculine.
These same women who are so
afraid of the men at the polls seem
quite reoonciled to meeting them
elsewhere. These are the very
women who never went anywhere
without man tagging along in
their lives-oouldn't even go to a
concert alone as it wouldn't be quite
proper without onel
And while these women are plead.
ing for the barest justice, for at
least a little recognition of their
rights other than is possessed by
fools and children, at the constitu-
ttonal convention men are fighting
for even more representation than
they already have and frequently
quoting taxation without repre-
sentation is tyranny" etc. Of
course it is, but why do they turn
right around and deny the most
meagre rights to women, who own
every bit as much property as these
same men? Consistency is rare
and precious thing, but it's to be
feared it is undervalued by some of
these learned gentlemen.
They won't even allow the cause
to be presented by the suffragist
leaders at the convention. If they
did they might learn a few things
which might penetrate their blind
prejudices, and, to put it none too
strongly, selfish indifference.
1t is only q question of time when
the day will be won-and the coun-
try will become a land where all
are indeed free and equal. Until
then it IS the duty of every intiln-
gent woman to do everything with
in her power to bring it about as
soon as possible.

wide rires and aood Roads.

Doubtless the best way to keep an
earth road, Or any road for that mat
ter, in repair is by the use Of wide
tires on all wagons carrying heavy
burdens. Water and narrow tires
aid each other in destroying streets,
macadam, gravel and earth roads.
Narrow tires are also among the
most destructive agents to the fields,
pastures and meadows of farms,
while, on the other hand, wide tires
are roadmakers. They roll and
harden the surface, and every loaded
wagon becomes in effect a road roller.
Nothing so much tends to the inn
proving Of road as the continued
rolling Of its surface. Tests made at
the experiment stations in Utah and
Missouri show that wide tires not
only improve the surface of roads,
but that under ordinary circum-
stances less power is required to pull
a wagon on which wide tires are
used.

The Recent storm.

The storm which passed over the
eastern aud southern Atlantic states
last Friday was one of the most de-
structive to travel which has OCCUR
red since the memorable blizzard of
1885, The loads of ice broke down
trees, telegraph and telephone wires
and the snow and ice completely
blocked railways and trolley lines.
Philadelphia was for two days COM
pletely isolated, several deaths oc-
CURED from contact with broken
electric wires and 100 horses were
killed in that way. The Erie was
stalled between Port Jervis
and New York and trains were more
than day getting through. Two
wrecks in the New York division,
one near Middletown and one at Ar
den, added 10 the difficulty.
Throughout this state reports
were Of blockaded roads, and in the
mining region mines were flooded
and industry was paralyzed. In
New Jersey the forco of the storm
was greatly felt Breaking of wires
shut off outside communication
Thousands of trees were ruined in
the storm belt and its effects will
long be seenin the devastation caus-
ed to fruit and shade trees. The
snow here greatly impeded travel
and was probably nearly two feet
deep on the level.
