The Same Old Story.

J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar
to that which has happened in almost
every neighborhood in the United States
and has been told and re-told by thous-
ands of others. He says: Last summer
I had an attack OF dysentery and pur-
chased bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, which I
used according to directions and with en-
tirely satisfactory results. The trouble was
controlled much quicker than former at
tacks when used other remedies" Mr..
Kelly is well known citizen of Hender-
son, N. G. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.

Pats Point cf View.

A Bishop was travelling In a mining
country and encountered an old Irishman
turning a windlass which hauled up ore
out of shaft. 1t was his work to do
this all day long His hat was off, and
the sun poured down on his unprotected
head.
Don't you know the sun will injure
your brain if you expose it in that
manner" said the good man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat off his
forehead and looked at the clergyman:
do ye think I'd be doing this all day
if had any brains?" he said, and then
gave the handle another turn.

We have understood, and the news
comes straight, that some Of Col. Talbert's
friends are attempting to revive faction
alism in his behalf. While we have no
idea that our people can be again stirred
up to bitterness toward each other on &C
count of politics, still we regret that the
attempt has been made Let men be
elected to office on their merits, not on
former factional alliances, and by this
method the best men will be chosen.

Poisoning the system.

1t is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation

of the countys finances, it is to be hoped
that the effort to do away with the jdr-

Why Lincoln Laughed.

Lincoln was annoyed greatly in the
spring of '63 by trio of doctors repre-
senting the homeopathic interests, says
the Philadelphia Times. The president
listened to them patiently day after day,
and finally dismissed them by saying he
was too busy with the war to give the
matter attention. The doctors then tried
Stanton, but he told them they must get
the decision from Lincoln himself.
When they returnedLincoln greeted them
with loud, unctuous laugh and ex-
planned the mirth, when asked by saying
he had been thinking of the story of a
boy who tried in Sunday school to read a
Biblical passage about the three men who
went down into the fiery furnace. Their
names-Shadrach, Meshach and Abedne-
go-troubled the boy greatly; he could
not pronounce them. The teacher helped
him twice; but again he encountered the
names in his reading and began to cry.
Don't cry. Johnnie" said the teacher.
"I c-can't h-help it, sobbed Johnnie
"for here comes those three ID fools
again p
"And when saw you coming resumed
the president, genially, "Ijust couldn't"

Neso Tors Sun Special Servioe
New York, Aug. 6.-Interest in the
contracts for new Rock Island securi-
ties, which have been dealt in on the
curb for several days, entirely died out
yesterday. The following stat ement was
made to-day by F. L. Zine, vice president
of the First National bank and director
in the company: @ p 5zrsssEzs
The Rock Island conversion scheme pre-
sents really but one new feature. Everything
except the provision lodging control with the
preferred stock has been heard of before.
That was put in SO that the people now in
control of the property might safeguard their
holdings, for everyone familiar with the
railroad situation of this country knows that
the day of proxy control" has passed
References have been made to the Moore
holdings as If they represented fve-sixths
Of the entire capitalization. That is mis-
take. The Moores, with Messrs. Reid and
Leeds, perhaps control half of the stock, al
though I am not familiar with the exact
proportion. Then, too, such men as Marshall
Field, H. G.. Frick and r. R. Gable are GER
tainly qualified to pass on the merits of the
conversion plan, and since they approve 1t alb
solutely, it seems reasonable to suppose that
the readjustment will be for the interests of
the stockholders as whole and not alone
for any two or three men. Net earnings for
the last fiscal year of the roads now COM
prising the Rock Island system were suff1-
cient to cover fixed charges of every sort,
and the payment of interest on the new issue
of SIS, 900 collateral trust gold bonds, 4
per cent dividends on the preferred stock
and more than per cent on the common
stock. ---..

SEE THINGS IN ST. PAUL
Residents of the City Call Them

Residents of the City Call Them
NIirages.
St. Paul, in fine spirit of retroactive
progress, has become as "the dull and
dreamy east and sees things in its side
walks. Residents of Marshall avenue,
near Avon street, returning home head
bowed and contemplative, behold mir
ages" in the hot cement.
= Various residents have reported various
visions. AS is usual the next day, no
man can describe exactly the awful things
he saw But it is indicative of the pa
TENTS parched condition that "the ap-
pearance of water on the sidewalk is a
most persuasive delusion.''
Yet other things were seen. Business
men have usually agreed that they saw
persons persons, possibly, with more
numerous and active legs than ordinary,
but, nevertheless, persons.
OF course, also, St. Paul does not un-
derstand exactly how 1t happened. Few
travellers traverse the avenues. This IS
readily admitted. Hence it was not the
rare phenomenon Of a sidewalk worn
smooth by a large and active population.
When the populace had become as ex-
problem was laid before Professor Nc
Clintock Of the mechanic arts high school,
He explained naively that ''the reflection
of objects in the mirage is produced by
the refraction of the rays of light by the
strata of air disturbed by this radiation
of heat" The inquirers blinked and mur-
INJURED absently, "Why, it couldn't be any
thing else."
