His Last Hope Realized.

[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Month
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and his afterwards
camping upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
bad case Of the diarrhoa which 1t
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June 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 Diarrhoea Remedy as a
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 pa
tent was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bot
tie 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

Mrs. Parrotte Is Injured.


Word was received in Meeker Mon
day that Mrs. w. L. Parrotte had
been severely injured at Windermere
lodge on South Fork.
From the meager details received
1t is gathered that Mrs. Parrotte was
out horseback riding. She was let
ting the horse Craze along-having
let go of the bride reins-and was adj
miring the scenery and enjoying the
cool refreshing air. The horse caught
his foot in the reins and fell, throw
ing his rider and the horn of the sad
die struck the lady on the hip. Mrs.
Parrotte was rendered unconscious.
DIR. Kirkpatrick was hastily sum-
moned from his ranch a few miles
down the river and rendered all the
aid possible. The first report was
that Mrs. Parrotte's hip WAS mashed
and that she was injured internally,
but later reports indicate that no
bones were broken and that the lady
will probably be able to be about
again in n week or 80.
Her many friends will be panied to
hear of the accident but will rejoice
that it was no worse. Mr.. and Mrs.
Parrotte, accompanied by some
friends, went to the lodge only last
week, and to have their vacation thus
interrupted is indeed unfortunate.

INCREASED CONSUMPTION.
And, pointing out the rapid increass
in the consumption Of coal by the deve-
orment OF the iron Industry of the state
and the general Advancement OF the In
drstrial interests OF the entire central
South. he refers to the great increase
which will follow the beginning OF the
work on the Isthlnian Canal, and says:
From its inception the Isthman Canal
will require coal From the nature OF
It, the work will be mainly done by ma
chinery. To drive this machinery will
require enormous quantities OF coal. Fur
ther. large quantities will BIO required to
propel tho shipping to deliver the tre-
inendous amount of machinery and sup
plies which will be called for in pro-
ject OF this magnitude. This Increase In
demand for coal will again be trivial COM
pared to that which will Inevitably arise
on the completion OF the canal, which,
with the unlimited capacity of the United
States available for the work. should be
no distant date. Then half Of the steam
shipping of the world will call for coal
at the Isthmus. for, as the storage of
coal Is the heaviest tax on the space of
freight carrying vessels, they will en-
deavor to arrive at the canal With empty
hrnkers, to be replenished there. More
over, the canal will open up to us the
entire western coasts OF North and South
America, as we'll as the Orient. In this
way will arise a demand for coal such
as exists. nowhere else in the world"
