A DEVIL DRIVE. Believing that
Satan has taken possession Of the town
of Durham, Maine, in the shape OF
smallpox and other diseases, the Dis
ciples of the Holy Ghost and Us have
for week past been holding a "devil
drive" at their grotesque tabernacle
called the Temple of Shiloh. Elder
Sanford, the chief prophet of the
strange sect, declares that he is in
direct communication with the Holy
Ghost. and that he was advised to
"driye the devil' out OF the town if he
wanted to rid the community of disease.
The ceremony is thus described "ln
the upper hall of the temple, known as
the Armory of David, the hosts OF the
saints first armed themselves with
shields and bucklers that were hanging
on the walls in readiness for such emer-
gencies as this. They then descended
in solid phalanx to the main hall OF the
temple and met the devil upon their
knees. 1t was then necessary to dis
lodge the evil one from each Of these
individual saints. When finally he was
without cover where he could hide him
self the saints moved in body upon
their knees, forcing the foe before them
to the weastern door. Every corner OF
the temple was well beaten with Bibles,
that the devil might lurk nowhere.
On their knees, and keeping solid front
to the west, the saints descended the
broad steps, whacking their palms with
their Bibles and shouting anathemas at
the fleeing devil. During all this time
saints were stationed at the open win
dows in the three stories Of the temple.
each with Bible in his hand, to pre-
vent the devil from evading his pur-
suers and re-entering the tabernacle. "

His Last Hope Realized.

FROM tnt CeHtlntl, OSpD, hOHtsl
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers 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 a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground III
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect of
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
The season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

JEWEL Gown TABooED. English
high society has at last rebelled against
the extravagant display of jewelry by its
women. Undoubtedly the reaction has
been brought aboutby therecent appear
ance of the Countess of Warwick at the
fancy dress ball given by Mrs. Adair.
On that occasion the Countess, who,
when she was Lady Brooke, was pro
tege of the then Prince of Wales, wore
a costume of gems which in layishness
and show had never been surpassed.
Her head bore marvellous creation of
precious stones, and from it almost to
her heels stretched dazzling design of
Jewels worth several kings ransoms.
During the last season the fad of wear
ing Jewels has grown fast in the exclusive
circles, but even as it grew correspond
ing feeling of protest was arising among
those who lay some claim to good taste.
This revolt gained support also from
those persons who felt that they could
not afford to lock up their diamonds and
rubies in designs which could only be
worn at odd times. The climax was
reached when the Warwick costume
gave rise to the criticism that such a
display was in the last degree bad form,
and it is now felt that the near future
will see a return to the beauties of
so far as jewelry is concerned.

The Daily Mining Record, in ite
enquiry column, quotes the Bisbee
Belle Mining Company as making
this statement concerning their
property:
Our Wickenburg property is near
the famous Orc Grande gold mines
and we have the same character Of
ore as they have. Some of our ore
near surface is running as high as
$87.46, while we have q veritable
mountain OF iron ore that carries
gold values Of SLIP per ton, all
assays made of it going over $11.
All our ore at both properties is
Self-f1uxing entirely.
This is anything but the truth.
The Orc Grande is almost five
miles due north of Wickenburg,
while the Bisbee Belle is about
thirteen miles east from here, the
two properties being at least ten or
twelve miles apart fin an air line.
We have been unable to learn
little concerning the Blsbee Belle
and its property, but if they have
smelling ore, as they claim, it
must also be OF an entirely differ
ent character than that in the Oro
Grande. We have heard that the
Bisbee Belle is very fair property,
but so many misstatements are be-
ing made by the promoters that
they can very justly be viewed
with suspicion.
