Little Boy Drowned.

About 7:15 O'Clock yesterday evening
the southeastern portion of the city was
startled by distressing accident at the
shipyard by which Bruce, the eight-year-
old son of Mr.. Raymond E. Grover, was
drowned. The drowning occurred at a
time when many residents ofthat section
were on the hills overlooking the river
front and while the excursion steamers
crowded with merrymakers we're proceed
ing down the river. Mr.. Grover and
his family live in a house in the ship
yard enclosure, and the unfortunate
child had but a short time before been
seated with his mother and othersa
round the family board. He left
the house and unobserved proceed
ed to the wharf where several men
were sitting and stepping upon the
gang plank of a schooner lying in the
dock he tripped and fell into the
water. Some one on tug boat
saw him fall and gave the alarm and
Capt. VIM. Fennal jumped in after the
child and made every endeavor to locate
and rescue him, but his efforts were in
vain. Graphing irons were brought into
service, and anumber of persons assisted
in the search. The body was finally
found by Mr.. Sylvester Dean after
it had been in the water for three
quarters of an hour. Effort was made
to resuscitate the lifeless child but to no
avail. BY this time many people had
gathered at the scene and the distress
ing occurrence cast 3 gloom over them
ali. Mr. Grover was was on his way home
from the ferry wharf when the little fellow
fell overheard, but the child who never
appeared after falling in the water had
drowned before he reached the scene. The
anguish of the bereaved mother was terri
bic to be hold and it was feared serious
effects would follow. The distressed family
have the sincere sympathy Of their many
friends and acauaintances.

in my life had a sudden and severe
attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice
Miller, of Morgan, Texas. 81 got
temporary relief but it came back again
and again, and for six long years have
suffered more misery and agony than |
can tell. 1t was worse than death. My
husband spent hundreds of dollars for
physicians prescriptions and treatment
without avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present home and
one day happened to see an advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with testim 'nial OF
man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that J
concluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. l could hardly
realize that ! was well again, or believe
it could be so after having suffered so
fong, but that one bottle of medicine,
costing but few cents, cure me. For
