The Doctor Away from Home Whe'
Most Needed,

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proved fatal before medicine
could be procured or d physician sum
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle of Chamberlain Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe better medi.
cine for these diseases. BY having it
in the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy 1t now; it
may save life. For sale by all drug
gists.

several fortunes since 1884. But for
some years Keene was not so much of

that he was down and out, just as they
had said it when he first lost his money
in San Francisco. He became during
those years more of promoter than
an Independent operator. Having eat

Keene took up something to sweeten

it for Keene, sweetening his tooth to

fifteen years. He stayed in Wall

most familiar stories of the street is
to the effect that somebody remarked

Keene, according to Joaquin Miller,

Prof Monroe thinks 1t entirely feasible
for a plant TO be established in Wash

shore which would be commercially
profitable by furnishing Washington,
Alexandria. and Georgetown With much
of the necessary fuel in the shape Of
coke and all the gas they could use as
low as % cents per 1000 cubic feet There
would be left large sources Of profit in

Prof Monroe has no doubt that such a
plant will be established sometime. and
the cost of gas reduced 10 a nominal rate.
The coke produced will relieve the tension

tendency to cheaper the aggregate cost
OF fuel and hundreds Of thousands OF
