His Last Hope Realized.

FROM the Oentinel, OeDo, MohI.l
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1882 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 diarThoea
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's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
be was rolling about on the ground in
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.

SHIPS COLLIDE IN FOG.
Six People Killed In the Crash and Many
Others Hurt.

New London, Conn.
at moderate rate of speed through
Long Island Sound early Friday
morning the big passenger steamer
Plymouth of the Fall River Line,
bound for Fall River from New
York, and the freight steamer City
OF Taunton, of the same line, came
into collision in the fog just east OF
Plymouth, the bow of the freight
steamer raking the star board side OF
the Flymouth and causing the death
OF ssix persons on the Plymouth and
serious injury to number OF others.
There was no time after the warn
ing whistles which followed the
lookout's- discovery Of the danger to
avoid a collision.
Atull hundred feet OF the star
board side of the Plymouth was
mashed in as if it had been paper,
and the staterooms of the second
cabin were entirely cut away.
Although. greatly terrified, the
people aboard the steamer showed
remarkable self-control ard there
wassno panic.
The collision occurred after the
vessel had slowly made her way up
the Sound through the fog until she
reached point east of Gull Island.
The City of Taunton drove up out
OF the fog and when he was sighted
oy.the officers of the Plymouth, was
too close to avoid the collision.
There was a quick exchange of sig
nails and then the crash. The bow
OF the City OF Taunton penetrated
ten feet into the hull of the Ply
mouth and as she backed away she
raked the upper works>of the pas
senger vessel, tearing out the sec
ond cabir and ripping the state
rooms to pieces. Water poured into
tie big hole and drowned men in
their bunks.
The Plymouth was immediately
headed for this city. It was thought
at one time that the ships company
would have to take to tue boats, bu1
the closing of the collision bulk
heads prevented the water from
gaining and the vessel made the
harbor and wharf unassisted.
