Antiquities in the Colonies.

Antiquities N the Colonies.
Some of the British colonies are suf-
ficiently old for an antiquarian value
to attach to their coinage. At the Muir
doch sale recently $40 gold piece Of
British Columbia, dated 1862, made
$500, and the $40 piece Of the same
type realized 5000. 1t is believed that
no specimens of these two coins have
ever been offered for sale by public
auction; in fact, the only other speci-
mers known. are in the British mu-
scum. -

TO SPEAK IN .TAMMAEY HALL.
Congressman Champ Clark is Invited
TO Meet With the New York
Democrats July 4th.

Congressman Champ Clark has just
gotten home to Bowling Green, after
having Been water-bound in Illinois
for some time, being caught there on
his way home from a lecture tour. On
reaching home he found an invitation
from Tammany Hall to attend the
Fourth OF July celebration in New
York and address the Tammany S0ci-
ETY.. He will accept il possible.
IL is a noteworthy fact that July
ith OF this year will be the tenth an
niyersary OF the speech made by Mr.
Clark in Tammany Hall when and
where be and Congressman Hendrix,
OF Brooklyn, former Miss0uFian, out
lined the course OF action Of the weS-
tern versus the eastern Democrats
in the next campaign, that Of 1895.
That meeting in Tammany Hall and
the widely divergent views on the
money question, and the subject OF
party control, expressed By Clark and
Hendrix constituted the formal open
ing Of the great factional fight in the
Democratic party. Newspaper com
ment at the time vas wide and varied
and Mr.. Ciark's declaration Of the
political independence OF the west
was largely quoted. The present invi-
tation TO speak before the great New
York organization the fourth Of next
month is regarded here, in the politi-
cal hub Of HIS district, as a very aus
picious indication Of restored harmony
in the Democratic party.

Fresh Water Pearls.

A hlgh1uster white pearl worth g..
900 has been found in Iowa. Forty
years ago fresh-water pearl as large
was found in New jersey aud was sold
for $1,000 in Paris.
In 1898 fine pink pearls were found
in Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas to
the value OF $4,000. In 1897 there
was great excitement over the discoy-
cry Of fine pearls In considerable num-
bers in the Saline, st. Francis and
White rivers in Arkansas.
A few weeks ago pearls we're found
in Wisconsin, the largest of which
sold for sl,1OO. Fresh water pearls
have been found in other states, but
II correctly described in the dispatch
es, the Iowa pearl is one OF the most
valuable white pearls produced in
American rivers.
Since the button manufacturers be-
gan 10 use muSsel and othel shells in
their work, closer lookout for fresh
water pearls has been kept and more
have been found. But In no case has
the finding justified the theory that
the existence Of one pearl In a river
bed indicated that pearl fishing in
that locality would be profitable.
There is, however, a fair supply OF
fresh water pearls for the American
market coming mainly in previous
years, from the southern states. 1t
Is now coming mainly from the Wes-
tern states. Chicago Iaior-Ooean.

His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, 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 encounter
ed much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and along
IN June the case became 50 bad he ex-
pected 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 he
was rolling 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 a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel dis

When the Civil war began he was rep
