In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1899, the editor Of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
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 Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about in great ag-
ony, and in few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect of the med
icine 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

Grant at Shiloh

The Mobile Register says Every
student of history knows that Grant
was surprised at Shiloh, but now that
Gen. Lew Wallace has declared it, the
people who learn their United State
history by means of school books writ
ten in New England are both ineredu-
lous and indignant. We do not blame
them, but they onght to get other his
tories"
Both Grant and Sherman were sur
prised at Shiloh, although Grant made
amends for his neglect by subsequent
good fighting, and extracted more glory
and substantial reward out of his rec
ord in the civil war than any other man
connected with it.
1t was patiently bad military tactics
for the Federal commanders to encamp
their army ON the side of the river ex-
posed to an attack from the enemy
while awaiting reinforcements. The
other side with the river as n complete
defense would have served as we'll.
Gen. Grant was some miles away at
Savannah when the fight began and
certainly did not expect the attack.
His army and his reputation were
saved by two, for him, fortuitous cir
cumstances. The Confederates did not
make the attack Saturday morning as
was intended when they set out from
Corinth and Johnston was killed be-
fore he was able to push his victory to
its proper consummation. But for
these circumstances Gen. Grants fu-
ture career would doubtless have been
changed.
The New England people have ex.
pended much severe criticism on the
alleged partiality of Southern histor-
ians, but it is true, as the Mobile Reg.
lister points out, that they have deceived
themselves and the rising generation
with lot of rubbish intended to pali-
ate Federal defeats and the mistakes of
their generals. 1t matters not that
these self-deluded critics are up in
arms against the blunt truth told by
Gen. Lew Wallace. He was there and
he knows that Grant was surprised as
do many others who were present in
that memorable struggle in humber
positions. The familiar verse about
the power of truth and its final triumph
over error, must necessarily apply in
this instance. Nashville Banner.

COLOMBIA MAY
NOT GET CANAL
Revenue Sources to Be
Surrendered Do Not
Yield Income.
President Said to Be Consid-
ering Abandonment of
Negotiations.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Jan. H-There is au-
thority for the statement that the Presi-
dent has under consideration the advisa-
bility of abandoning negotiations with
Colombia for the Panama Canal treaty
and entering into treaty arrangement
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal by
the United States.
This important phase of the canal mat
ter has been produced, II is declared, by
knowledge which has come to the Govern
neHt that Colombia does not get an in
come from the sources of revenue to be
surrendered to the United States il the
Panama deal is consummated that ap-
proaches anywhere near to the $65o,O0o
which Colombia asserts she receives from
those sources. 1t is learned at the State
Department that ambassador Tower has
received from the German Foreign Office
an unequivoeal denial of the statement
that found some currency q few days ago
TO the effect that the German Government
was endeavoring to secure control of the
Panama canal franchise. The Emba$ $sa-
doris advice did not credit the German
Government with any feeling for or
against the canal enterprise, but 1t Is
gathered that the state of the public mind
in Berlin, certainly in commercial circles,
is favorable to American construction be-
cause of the benefits expected TO accrue
to German shipping engaged in trade on
the Pacific and on the west coast of South
America.
