London. May 15.-Premier Balfour and

members OF the house Of commons,
headed by Mr. Chaplin. former presi-
dent OF the board Of agriculture, mem
bers OF the house OF lords and delegates
from the chambers OF commerce and

remission OF the grain duty.
Mr. BalfoHF- made a long argument In

Without the slightest intention on the
part OF the government. he said, the tax
had incidentally given some protection

expectedly helping the farmers but the

hitting the tax.
1t was never intended TO be pro-

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Montl
In the first opening OF Oklahoma to
settlers in 1859, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During this travel
ing about and afterwards his cam
paign upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with
the severe heat, gave him very Sc
we're 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 Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. a big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect of the medi-
cine 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.

Virginia is a state which abounds
with springs which have medicinal
properties. 1t is also a state In which
nearly every foot of ground has histor'
ic associations, and this fact, together
with its glorious landscapes, makes ii
an unusually interesting state to. visit.
There are thousands of resorts, each of
which has its own special attractions,
but none has attracted more visitors
than the resorts in the vicinity Of the
Great Natural Bridge. which is one of
the natural wonders of the United
States.
This marvellous structure oyerlooks
the James river valley. being ON the
western slope of the Blue mountains.
1t is just about the center of the state.
1t approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds ii in height and awful mystery
1t is a single block of limestone. with
many shades of color The walls are
smooth, as If cut with chisels. and there
is no sign of displacement.
The visitor follows a tumbliug cas-
cade down a deep assure in the noun
tain under some of the largest arbor
vitn trees in the world and. turning
down line of steps cut into the preei-
pice. suddenly finds himself By a swift
stream in dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him Birds high In
air pass under the blue arch. The place
is full of echoes. and the winds and
waters moan eternally.
