VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF
DIARRHOEA.

About six years ago for the first time in my life had a sudden and se- were attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs Alice Miller of Morgan, Texas. Il got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hun dreds of dollars for physicians pre- scriptions and treatment without avail
 Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day hap pened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy with a 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 re- suit was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was wSi again. or be- lieve 1t could be so after having suf. fered so long. but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me" For sale by all druggists

LIFE IN A METROPOLIS.

The brains of q nation tend to con- centrate in q metropolis. A great city becomes the universal magnet, because it gives the largest prizes. It may be the grave of suburban regulations" but those who escape submersion find in the metropolis the most highly col ored among the gauds that men spend their lives for. America has no one center, like London for England, Paris for France, Rome for Italy, Vienna for Austria, or Berlin for Germany. The location of the national government at Washington has the unusual result Of putting the national political center outside of the largest cities. Conse- Quently, some of those people who can live anywhere, and who seek what is most interesting, hesitate for their win ter residence between New York and Washington. or divide it between them. Such people also are beginning to con
 sider pleasantness of climate and con- dition more than they did San Fran cisco gains by such considerations. New York loses by her noise and con- fusion, Chicago by her dampness and dirt. Chicago, and other big cities, have also lost, thus far, in attractive ness as residences by q failure to keep their most interesting men at home. The majority of the most successful men in politics, business, law or the arts find their way to New York or Washington. The richest men in New York were not born here. The most famous writers and painters are new arrivals. MT Rockefeller, MT Carnegie and Mir Morgan are brought there by business success or opportunities; Mark Twain, MT Howells and' MT Dooley move there by the law of gravitation; most of our leading art ists have their city home there-but very few are natives. Politicians like MT Reed. MT Carlisle and MT Cleve land settle in the big town, or within easy reach of 1t, so that Manhattan contains a dozen figures of national reputation where she produces one. Western writers, like MT Garland and MT Ade, begin by explaining the ad- vantages of remaining west, but they spend an increa sing amount of time Ill the east. We foresee a limit to this tendency. New York is so narrow that it becomes each year more like city of hotels, of high offices and flats. We imagine that generation hence 1t will be the real home of relatively fewer successful men than it is now for peo- pie will care more for settled dwell ings, calm and external beauty. Even now the impulse to live outside, along the Hudson, in New Jersey, on Long Island, and to use the city only for business. and for excitement concen- trated into short time, is noticeably increasing Weekly

noon in an advanced state of intoxica- tion. He demanded his sons wages, and upon his wife refusing to hand over the money she claims that he seized the ba be in his arms and thrust it into the oven of the red-hot stove. The mother sprangto the stove, pushed her drunken husband aside and removed the child, whose garments were smok- ing and burning. She extinguished the flames and found that the child had fortunately escaped injury except for slight burns on the arms.
 Meanwhile police headquarters had been notified of the trouble and the patrol wagon was sent to the house with Mounted Officer Huntington and Patroman Johler on board. Phillips was bundled into the wagon and his wife promised to appear in police court in the afternoon to give testimony against her husband She spent the morning around headquarters, but failed to show up in court, apparently having weakened in her determine tion to prosecute her husband. He was fined $10 and costs for intoxica tion.

Leading Colored Organiza tion Holding
 Sixth Annual Session.

Sixth Annual Session.
 Louisville, Ky, July 2.-The nation al Afro American council, the leading organization of the kind in the United sion. More than q hundred negroes, leaders of their race are present.
 The address of welcome was deliver ed by Albert s. White, colored law yer of this city.
 In closing a response to the address of welcome, Frederick L. McGhee of St Paul said: The time for departure from old methods has come; the peace, the prosperity of our country must be shared by our race or there can be no permanent peace, no lasting prosper ity. We must be a part of this govern ment and must have secured to us the enjoyment of the rights and privi' leges other citizens have.
 We are citizens of this, our only country; we love it's institutions and have ever been law-abiding and devot- ed to its every interest. But before made us men, hence we must act and speak as men,"
 Six speakers were heard at the night session. All advocated suffrage and made no plea for social equality. The disfranchisement of the negro in sever al southern states was deplored. and efforts will be made to have one or more cases arising from this legislation brought before the United States su- preme court.
 Booker T. Washington is expected to speak tomorrow night.

 HANNA, Wyo., July 2.-AccoroIng to the best information now obtainable, 2S5 men out of 2S2 who were in the No. l coal mine were killed in the explo sion.
 The majoEity of the victims were Fin lapders and negroes.
 An army of rescuerS, spurred on by the frantic appeals of wives, mothers and children gathered at the mine, have been working with desperate en- ergy.
 TfSey tell of piriful scenes at the sev- enteenth level, the lowest point reached during the night
 Some of the survivors were driven in sane and fought furiously against the rescuers. Dazed, listless men were found sitting on cars or lying on the floor, careless whether they lived or died.
 Near the seventeenth level twenty bodies were found strewn over a pile of debris, which the men had striven to surmount before they were over- come by the deadly fumes. Some were scared and blackened by flames, but all had died crawling toward fresh air. The eleven rescuers who penetrated thus far were too weak to bring out a body.
 For hours the scene at the mouth Of the level was heart moving. Women and children huddled together, weep ing and wringing their hands. Many sat on shattered timbers blown from the mines mouth, insensible to their surroundings.
 The more frantic pushed to the edge of the gap and tried to force a way into the slope.
 An expert who went almost to the seventeenth level says the mine cannot possibly be cleared for a month. It is feared that men in the lower levels were torn to pieces by the explosion, which hurled great timbers high over the town and HOO feet beyond the mouth of the slope. Among the dead is Alfred Hapgood, who turned the first shovel of dirt in starting the slope.

SHARP ANSWER TO nUasr~.
%res1dent VIII Insist on Hebrew Ps
 tftfon Being Presented

President WIIl Insist on Hebrew Pe-
 tftfon Being Presented.
 WASHINGTON, July 2.-This state ment of the United Staes governments position in regard to the Hebrew peti- ton to Russia was given out by Acting Secretary of State Loomis at half past 12 o'clock this morning:
 At the state department it was stat ed by high official in the absence of Secretary Hay that the delay in for warding the petition of the American citizens of the Hebrew faith as to the tll treatment of their. coreligionists in Russia was due solely to the delay in furnishing the address to the state de partment by the petitioners. The state department would, of course, pay no heed to any statement purporting to emanate from the Russian government unless such statement were made off, ciaIly in some form or other to our own government
 "The state department has been scrupulously careful to act only in &C., cordance with all the requirements of official propriety, but within the limits thus laid down 1t will most certainly not hesitate to give expression to the deep sympathy felt not only by the ad- ministration, but by all the American people for the unfortunate Jews who have been the victims in the recent ap- palling massacres and outrages.
 ''In this connection it was pointed out by another ot1cial-who disclaimed any purpose to speak in his official ca pacity, however that it seemed some what strange, to say the least, that the Russian government should choose this particular method of making a state ment to the American people at the very time when, by methods which are certainly the reverse of friendly to the United States, it has sought to make China join in breaking the plighted faith of all the powers as to the open door in Manchuria and has endeavored 10 bar our people from access to the Manchurian trade"
 This is regarded as d reioinder to the statement given out by Russia which most positively and absolutely de nies the report that it has offered any official explanation to the Amer1- can government, either through the Russian embassy at Washington or the American embassy at St. Petersburg, regarding the Kischineff incident. The government declares that it has never been addressed by the American gov ernment upon the subject. The Rus sian government says it must categor- ically refuse to receive from any pow CTS any petitions or communications relative to its internal affairs.
