Cuban Diarrhoea.

u. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary
remedies have little more effect than
so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Min
ME Jacobs of Houston, Texas: II
hereby certify that Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy cured my husband of a severe at
tack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he
brought home from Cuba. We had
several doctors but they did him no
good. One bottle of this remedy
cured him, as our neighbors will tes-
tify. ! thank God ior so valuable a
medicine." For sale by Smith Drug

YOUNG AMERICA TO YOUNG
JAPAN"
Dr.. Scherer At Toronto-A Memor-
able Farewell Session.

The Sunday School Times says Of
the meeting at Massey hall on the
closing evening OF the great Interna-
tonal Sunday school convention re-
Gently held at Toronto. Canada:
The Glory OF Song" that has swept
thousands Of souls into the kingdom
in Australia and Wales and England
rang ;hroT gh the echoing spaces Of
Massey hall on the closing evening
OF the convention, as four thousand
throats sent it on high. There is al
most as much intensity and expecta-
ton at the farewell meeting OF a
great convention like this as there is
at the opening session. But there is a
sense Of intimate fellowship that was
lacking iour days ago. These thous-
ands have worked and prayed and
worshipped and debated and studied
together, as they had not at first;
they have grown into one intimate,
grear family, and they will never
again all be together in this way
Or earth. They feel that they must
receive blessing before they part
and they are in eager readiness.
The program at Massey was a
fitting climax to all that had gone be-
fore. \ young college president, DR..
James 4. B. Scherer, OF Newberry
college, South Carolina, virile and
keen in the fire and conservation Of
young manhood, sounded the call OF
The Duty OF Young America to
Young Japan He drew picture,
forceiul, burning. flaming, Of Japan's
leap. as the foreordained leader OF
the Far-East," from the medievalism
of half century ago into the civlll-
cation OF today. Out OF his own ex-
perience in teaching the young men OF
Japan, he revealed, through striking
experience that he had had with his
pupils in getting them to write OF
The noblest deed I ever knew" the
perverted and heathenish conceptions
of morality that the children Of that
land have inherited. IF this is ia
pans morality" the speaker challeng-
ed. ..'in Gods name what of her I'M

THE FERRY FRANCHISE.

A remarkable clause in the ferry
franchise offered for sale yesterday
and for which there was not single
bids that in case the purchaser
does not comply with his contract,
his rights in the state of Illinois are
to be forfeited. We have known the
general council of Paducah TO act as
if IT were more important than the
county. and even than the state of
Kentucky, but 1t is the first time II
has ever intimated that its jurisdic-
ton extended to the state of Hill
nois.
The merchants of Paducah and the
people of Illinois, however, need not
fear that there will be no ferryboat.
The owners of the ferry have a per
petual grant covering their Illinois
landings. and own property near
"Dogtown" on this side, which can be
converted into a landing if necessary.
They can operate without any fran
chise at all They agreed to buy a
franchise, however, provided they
could get one that suited them. II
would be an advantage to them and
TO the city to operate under a regu-
lar franchise, but it seems the gen.
eral council exercises very little COM
mon sense and judgment in such mat
ters, and the result is a botch.
