HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.
From the Sentinel, Gego, Slont.l

In the first opening of Oklahoma 70
settlement in 1883, 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 severe diarrhOca which it
seemed almost impossible to cheek, 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 Colo, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in few minutes the dose was repeated.
The God effect Of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
complete cure. and he cannot help but
feet grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item.

It is the intention Of the bank Of

Landlord Compile of the Pullman Ho-
tel Is Convicted and Fined for
Battery on Lodger.

OAKLAND, Dec. 23.-Osmin Comp
te, proprietor of the Pullman House,
Seventh and Pine streets. was fined
$50 to-day by Police Judge Mortimer
Smith, after conviction on a charge of
battery. c. W. Collins, a roomer at
the Pullman House, was the battered.
Collins claims that Compte objected
to his attentions to Miss Alice Adams,
a chambermaid in the hotel Expos
tulations from the landlord failed to
convince Collins that he was not en-
titled to pay suit to the fair Alice,
provided she did not object. In an
argument that followed Landlord
Compte threw Collins out of the hotel
and discharged the girl. The evicted
roomer caused Complies arrest. Land
lord Compte was not satisfied with his
conviction. He has appealed to the
Superior Court.
