Taken with Cramps.

VIM. Kir1nse, member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport, was
taken suddenly Ill Thursday night with
cramps and kind of cholera. His case
was so severe that he had to have the
members of the crew to wait upon him
and Mr.. Clifford was called and consult
ed. He told them he had medicine IN
the form of Chamberlain's Colo, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy that he
thought would help him out and accord
inly several doses were administered
with the result that the fellow was able
to be around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly Of Mr.. Gifford's
medicine -Elkader, Iowa, Argus.

your home. it may save life. For sale

fer these gifts, then my, how we did
eat and e1joy ourselves at such a
table.
While we talked and greeted each
other, the afternoon passed rapidly
and, 10, soon the sun was sinking to
rest in the far west. Sad, indeed,
we hsd to part and go to our homes.
The grand parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Dzriei Snea!y, both CT whom are
living, were blessed with ak sons
and one daughter. One son has
gone to receive his reward. Of
grandchildren there are AZ living
and two in eternity. There are
twenty-four great grandchildren Of
whom four have gone to receive
their golden crown. May we all be
permitted to meet again, if not on
earth, may it be around Jehovah's
great white throne, where parting is
unknown and sorrow cannot come
nor pain never suffered.

A Good Substitute.

If elected to the Legislature an
Anderson county man proposes to IL
troduce bill providing that negro
and white convicts shall not be al
lowed to work together. The State
offers as substitute bill prohibit
ing white women and girls, who a: Q
not convicts, from working in the
fields with negro men; also prohibit
ing white women and girls, not cor :
victs, from cooking for and serving
meals to negro farm lsborers. Let
US consider the woman who should
be shielded but who are not shielded
by thei- men, before We give a
thought to the sepslti7enese OF the
white criminal in stripes.

Suicide Prevented.

The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been discov-
cred will interest many. A run down
system, or dependency invariably pre-
cede suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that condition
which makes suicide likely. At the first
thought of self destruction take Electric
Bitters. 1t being a great tonic and ner-
vine will strengthen the nerves and
build mp the system. It's also a great

pond drawing.
On last Wednesday morning, Aug.
3gd, fishing party (sll stays, how

L. Keisler's mill pond. Twenty-one
shares bad previously been sold.
About l. N. the frst trout, which
weighed about 10 pounds, was
caught, of course, before this time
many smaller fish Of different species
had became victims. The attention
Of the fishermen was undivided, ard
enthusiastically engaged in trout
ing" which resulted in the capture
of thirty odd trout, ten OF which
we're estimated to net 100 pounds,
the others ranging from two to seven
pounds. We caught several part
" filled sacks of suckers, mullets,
Dream, ete, and I noticed in the lot
one like which an old gentleman
way over in Alaska" compared our
Congressman Lever to wheE the
CONGRESSMAN was over there once
speaking-a pike. Ask Mr.. Lever
about that comparison.

Chez Foo, Aug. II 2-The japanese
consul here explains the action of the
Japanese destroyer Rechitenlni, in.
side the harbor of Chez Foo yester.
day, by stating that the japanese
commanders were not aware that
the Russian vessel had been dis
mantled. The seizure of the de-
stroyer was dramatic. The crew
sang the national anthem, and the
captain wept as the Russian flag was
hauled down and that of the Japan
ese hoisted. Previous to this there
had been short but fierce fight be-
tween the Russians and japanese.
When the japanese boarded the
Russian destroyer, the latter's cap
tain ordered his men to blow up the
ship. The captain himself sprang
upon the Japaneee lieutenant and
the two went overheard. It is not
known; whether the Russian was
saved, but the japanese got away.
It is believed international compli-
cations may result from the Japanese
alleged violation of neutrality at
Chez Foo.
