Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea

"About six years ago for the first
time in my life I had a sudden and
severe attack Of diarrhoea," says
Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas.
II got temporary relief, but it came
back again and again and for six long
years I have suffered more misery
and agony than 1 can tell. It was
worse than death. My husband spent
hundreds of dollars for physicians
prescriptions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to Bosque
county, u present home, and one
day I happened to see an advertise
ment Of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and DiarrEoea Remedy with a testi-
monial of a man who had been cured
by it. The cast was so similar to my
own that I concluded to try the rem
edy. The result was wonderful. I
could hardly realize that I was vel
again, or believe it could be so after
having suffered so long. but that one
bottle Of medicine, costing but a few
cents, cured me-" For sale by all

A weak and puny child is badly
handicapped in the battle of life. It
is isolated from the healthy enjoy

their sturdy work and progress in the
world; its whole life is embittered by
incapacitY and weakness.

Nuremberg.

Nuremberg, whose wallis are report
ed to be showing signs of rapid decay,
vas one almost the richest and most
famous town in Europe. The well
known saying of Pope Plus II.-that
Il Nuremberg citizen was better off
than Il Scottish king-was justified by
the accounts that have been preserved
of the town and it's burghers. In the
fifteenth century there came from
Nuremberg the first watches known as
Nuremberg eggs" the first cannon,
the first gun lock. the first wire draw
ing machine. the clarinet, certain de-
scriptions of pottery and the art Of
painting on glass. For 300 years its
now decaying walls defended the val
ley of the Pegnitz against all enemies.
-Four hundred towers once topped the
walls, but only about a third of them
now remain.

FELL OVER THIRTY FEET
Workman ON the Postofice Building
Got an Awful Drop From Top
OF the Building.

Henry %CouhenOur, one of the labor
ers working on the postofflce building,
barely escaped being killed Thursday
morning about l 0:3O O'Clock. He was
working on the roof of the building,
lifting stone from the elevator that
was being hoisted. The rope by
which the pulley was held broke and
Couhenour caught at the rope at
tached to the elevator to save him
self from falling. This was also
loose and as a result be fell down the
shaft. feet foremost. His body struck
the rope, that partially broke the
fall. He struck on the top of the
elevator and was then thrown on some
stone which laid on the floor. The
distance he fell was about thirty feet.
and his fellow-laborers expected to
find him dead when they reached
his sine. The man was picked up
and placed OF a cot and taken to the
Office of DR.. Crane, where the physi-
clan made a minute examination of
his injuries. Strange to say, there
were no bones broken. His scalp
was badly cut, and a severe bruise
was on his right arm. His limbs
were bruised. The worst injury was
on his right side, just above the hip,
and if any internal injuries result it
will be from that point. Four
days will determine if he is injured
seriously internally. Mr.. Couhenour
is a man of family and lives in the
northwest part Of the city on Fifth
street. 1t was a very sad accident
and much sympathy is expressed for
the injured man.

Catarrh of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into the stomach
that it fails to digest, it decays and
inflames the mucous membrane, ex-
posing the nerves, and causes the
glands to secrete mucin, instead of
the natural juices Of digestion. This
is called catarrh of the stomach. For
years I have suffered with catarrh of
the stomach, caused by Indigestion.

DEDICATED THEIR HALL
Grand Army and Relief Corps Held
Appropriate Exercises for
Their New Hall.

ItfaH tE.tH- .-.. N.H=...-.
There is a feeling of great happi-
ness among the old soldiers. Of che
Grand Army and the w. r. C. since
their new hall has been dedicated &c
their use. When the library was
about finished it was evident that
there would be two or there rooms
in the basement that would not be
used, inasmuch as the heating plant
would be placed in the new city hall
building. The G. A. r.. made ap.
plication to the council for the use
of the south and east rooms for a
hall, and the council promptly
granted the request, adding that
the two, societies could have the
rooms just as long a S they were in
existence without cost to them
selves. The societies agreed to finish
the rooms and equip them for their
use. For a month or two they have
been raising money for that purpose.
Some of it has been donated by pop
ular subscription and the members
assisted in this direction as much as
possible. Both organizations have
moved into the rooms and they are
ready for use, although some fixtures
will be added in a short time.
Tuesday afternoon dedicatory exer-
cises were held in the corn palace
and they were very we'll attended,
Commander Nash presided over the
affair. Some excellent music was
furnished by the Imperial mandolin
club, and the young men comprising
it were heartily %applauded and COM
plimented for what they did to make
the occasion so pleasant. Vocal solos
were rendered by Virgil Boyles and
Mrs. 81. E. Hitchcock, both of which
were we'll receievd. The addresses
OF the afternoon were given by..Mayor
Geo. a. Silsby and Hon. II. g. Pres
ton. Their talks were of an inform
al nature and dealt with the deeds Of
the old soldiers, and what they said
was in hearty sympathy with.the oc-
icasion of the gathering.
After the exercises. were over all
adjourned to the new hall in the
Carnegie library building, where the
Relief Corps ladies bad spread an
elegant supper for the citizens of the
city. Over 200 responded to the call
for supper and the ladies cleared a
neat sum Of money for the purpose of
further furnishing the hall. That
supper was an excellent one. Plenty
to eat and good walters to see that
nothing was lacking. The Relief
Corps ladies never do things by halves
and on this occasion they made that
feature of the ~dedicatory exercises a
strong and enticing one.
Hereafter the old soldiers and the
Corps will have a very pleasant place
to meet, and all citizens will be
pleased with the action of the coun-
ell in thus according the organiza-
tions a permanent home.
