ruined and stand crumbling and ready to

carried death and destruction in its
wake. The water and light plants were
destroyed and the city left without fire
protection and in utter darkness. To
add to calamities already piling up, fire
broke out in the stricken city. This was
caused by the stacking lime in the ware
houses. From the higher land of the

merged portion of the city and saw the
awful destruction. Without being able

His Last Hope Realized.

ln the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune 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 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 last hope.
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

Probably 200 men, women and child
rem have perished in North Topeka,
Kansas, because of combination OF
disasters never before experienced in the
United States. Hundreds are in deadly
peril, and no one can tell the extent of
the calamities. The swollen waters of
the Kansas river swept with such vio-
lence through North Topeka that in
many instances all rescue was cut off.
The water plant was put out OF business
and the town was at the mercy OF fire
which broke out at late hour. 1t was
caused by the Stacking of lime stored in
the large warehouses. Many millions in
property will be destroyed.

for the establishment of business en-

is only recently that observation OF

tiles as the most promising for their
investments. A remarkable instance
of this was seen. recently, in the case
of a great establishment; the building
of which in one of the suburbs of
Cleveland was made conditional on a
'no-license' vote. And the permanence
of no license conditions in many
places is assured in a large degree
by the fact that more and mole the
large employers of labor are coming
to require abstinence from liquor as
a condition of employment.
These are influences which, added
