In a recent speech on tariff,
Representative John Sharp Will
Jams, the abe democratic leader of
the House, said that the goal in
the tariff reform race is no free
trade but tariff for revenue only,
and that the change should be care
fully and gradually effected so as
not to disturb industrial and COM
mercial conditions. He added that
the democratic members of Con-
gress would make an earnest effort
to revise and reform the present
iniquitous tariff. Mr.. Williams is
also a champion of reciprocity with
Canada and his sound and moderate
views on the tariff will attract many
conservative interests to the demo-
cratic party.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim. he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him very severe diar-
rheoa, which it seemed almost impossible
to check, and along in une the case became
SO bad he expected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one small bottle
of Chamberlain's collie, cholera and diar
rheoa remedy as last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling about
on the ground in great agony and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The season
for bowel disorders being at hand suggests
this item. For sale by Bennett.

eyes from his face.

She regarded him in silence mo-

young man said gayly.

said something like this:

that fevers and disease are far more
prevalent in countries where little at
tention is paid to hygiene This is es-
pecially the case in hot weather, when

The plentiful use of water is one Of
the greatest preventives of disease,
and by cleansing the pores Of the skin
of waste matter and dust and dirt we
keep the blood cool and clean and
