From reports already received it is

mean the destruction of thousands of

His Last Hone Realized

From The Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.1
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to set tiers in 1Ss9 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 diarrhoea which 1t seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he ex- pected to die. One day one of his neigh bors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy as a 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 good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for A fortnight. That one little bottle worked complete cure. and he cannot help but feel grateful The season for bowel dis orders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists. -adv.

INDUCEMENTS TO THE I. c.
City Council of Tuscumbia Offers 6
 Right of Way.

Tuscumbia, June 10.-(Speciall-At a joint meeting of the City Council and Business Mems League held in this city Monday night, which was attended by numerous enterprising and representative citizens, strong resolutions were adopted urging the Illinois Central Railroad to build its main line of tracks through Tus- cumbia, the inducements offered being an unincumbered right of way through the northern boundary of the city, paralIeling the Northern Alabama Railway for a distance of about two miles to the inter bama roads, In addition to this the free use of fifty acres of land on the northern limits of the city was tenered for depot and other facilities, which Is considered a most liberal and tempting concession.
 Should the I. C. decide to accep the of fer. and there is every indication that such will be the case, several thousand dollars will be saved the company in grad ing, purchasing right of way, ground for depots, etc., as the land is comparatively level, and admirably adapted to the use to which it would be put.
 The headquarters of the engineering corps engaged in making preliminary survey have been in this city for the past several months. and while nothing au- thentic can be gathered. it is the general belief that the line will be built along the northern boundary of Tuscumbia, within four blocks of the central portion of the city. This route seems to have been decided upon, and Tuscumbians are hope fully anticipating the early entrance of the Illinois Central into this city.

Walker will Not Appeal.

The case of Henry Walker, the negro convicted and sentenced to hang at Jas- per, Walker County, on June 19, for the murder of Mrs. J. c. Dickerson at Cor dova last March. will not be appealed. The negro has begged his attorneys who were appointed in his case to take the case to a higher court, but the attorneys have been looking for new evidence or for some way to carry 1t to the Supreme Court but appear to be unable to get the right cue. The hanging of Walker will attract many people to Jasper if 1t takes place on the 18th inst. The crime for which he will be hanged was a most brutal one. The residence of J. c. Dick erson at Cordova was entered and both MT. and Mrs. Dickerson were struck in the head with a hatchet. Then Mrs. Dickerson was dragged Into an adjoining room and her person outraged. Mrs. Dickerson died from her injuries. Mir. Dickerson is still alive but still has signs of the awful assault.
