Grisham of Gaara Mills, La., has to say on the subject, viz.: “I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war and have tried all kinds of medicines for it. At last I found a remedy that affected a cure and that was Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.” This medicine can always be depended upon for colic, cholera morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea.

This celebrated remedy is for sale by Smith & Callow. o “I have never had a days sickness in my life,” said a middle-aged man the other day “What a comfort it would be,” sighs some poor invalid, “to be in his place for a year or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he, if they would only take proper care of themselves, eat proper food—and digest it. It’s so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his. Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and make you strong and healty by making the food you eat make you fat. Druggists sell it. Trial bottle 10 cents. Au Important Question.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. Walter Wellmaji, the well known Washington correspondent, will make another attempt to reach the pole next season. He has been to Norway and has submitted his new plans to Dr. Nansen, who gave them his hearty approval. Next spring Mr. Wellman and his party will take the Franz Josef Land route •* z vk I \ WALTER WELLMAN. to Cape Flora, where he will establish a supply station. Then he will push as far north as practicable and establish another, perhaps within seven or eight degrees of the pole. There he will winter, and as early in the following spring as possible he will set out for the pole, accompanied by six companions and 60 or 70 dogs. He expects to make a dash in sledges over the ice cap, reach the pole and return to his winter station before his retreat is cut off. He estimates that he will have about 110 days in which to accomplish this, and, if he has good luck, will do it. Princess Kaiulani. Princess Victoria Kaiulani, who is soon to v isit this country on her way to Hawaii still has, so it is said, a hope that she will some day reign as queen over the Sandwich Islands. She is the daughter of the Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, a gentleman of British ancestry, but long a resident of Honolulu, and Princess Miriam Likelike, who was a sister to OS Oft/f ! ....gMFy PRINCESS VICTORIA KAIULANI. King Kalakaua and to ex-Queen Lilinokalani. The princess was born Oct 16, 1875, and her mother died when she was 12 years old. Two years later she went to England to obtain an education, and she has been there ever since, being absent from Hawaii when the monarchy was overturned and her aunt, who is now in the United States, deposed. The princess is a typical Hawaiian beauty. She is tall, graceful and has a fine figure. She has been highly educated and has that polish which can only be acquired in the most exclusive drawing rooms. Yellow Fever Expert. Dr. John Guiteras, the yellow fever expert sent by the government to fight the disease in the infected districts of Mississippi, has had long experience in this line of work. He was in charge of the war against yellow fever in the KeyWest epidemic of 1887, and in the succeeding year the government called upon him to combat the disease in Jacksonville. He also fought yellow jack I I y iMy I DR. JOHN GUITERAS. for Uncle Siam in Brunswick, Ga., in 1892 During the summers of 1894 and 1895 he was employed by the government to tour through the southern states and visit the gulf ports as a precautionary measure. When he goes into an infected district, it is with the authority to make an official diagnosis of suspected cases. If he pronounces the disease to be yellow fever, it is recognized as such, no matter how vigorously the local physicians may protest, and they often do contradict him with much emphasis, for it is a great financial calamity to a town when a quarantine is declared against it Dr. Guiteras also prescribes a general course of treatment and defines the symptoms so that the fever may be recognized. The quarantine is usually conducted by an official from the United States Marino hospital. The Root of the Trouble. He—Poet c are born — She—Yes, that’s the whole trouble. —New York Truth.

People wbo are or have been affected by catarrh are most subject to chronic m laria. The explanation is this: Malaria is a germ disease. Germs find I their way into the blood through the mucous membranes If the mucous membranes are healthy the germs can not enter the blood. This is why some people do not get malaria. But if the membranes are affected by catarrh, even slightly, the malaria germs find easy access Into the blood. Pe ru-na is the remedy. It not only destroys malaria germs, but so restores the mueous membranes to health, that no more germs can find entrance. Pe-rn-na is the most reliable remedy for chronic malaria It cures by eradicating the germs from the system. Send for Dr. Hartman’s latest book.

Nearly three minutes are required to bring a big steamer, like the Etruria, to a lull stop, and in that time she will have advanced almost half a mile froi i the place she was when the first movements were made to stop her.

A man in Yungchou was found guilty of murder; and the judges, after dooming him to death, also decreed the death penalty for his teacher, saying that he should have taught his pupil to respect human life. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates au unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains lir -n it is e’.idence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing pioof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabiliiy to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You mav have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention Decatur Democrat arm send your address to Dr Kilmer & C Binghampton. N.

Some Plain Facts. Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception. The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States. There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with the constitutional laws that govern the issue of money in this country. The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed industry, reduced property values one-half, and beggared millions. There is no authority of law, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a national calamity. Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost successful scheme to corner the wealth of the people, is now being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a newspaper which the combined power of money has failed to muzzle or buy. The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. a year. The address is Enquirer Company, Cincinnati, O. To Cure Coaxtillation Forever. Take Cascarets Candv Cathartic. 10c or 25c, It G C.

William Ford, who lives near Napoleon, Indiana, is a prominent farmer and stock dealer. For two or three years Mr. l ord has not been able to attend to his duties owing to ill health. Up to three years ago the past winter Mr. Ford not only did his farm work, but did much traveling about liecounty buying stock. He was consequently out in all kinds of weather, for which lie dearly paid the penalty, being taken sick with rheumatism. He suffered for some time, the trouble becoming continually worse. Mr. Ford related his experience to a reporter as follows: . “In December. 1893, 1 was taken Blck with the rheumatism. I had never been sick much before, although 52 years olil. For thirty years a doctor dia not prescribe f<»r me. However I had to have a physician in the winter of 1892, for I was one of the victims that had the grip. I was confined to the house for about six weeks, and 1 never did entirely recover from the effects. My eyes have not been so good since, anti the heanng in my right ear is impaired My system was weakened and somewhat shattered, alihough I thought I regaineo mv for met strength through the following summer. “ The next winter I kept up my farm work as usual, also the buying of stock. I had been out for several days in succession in bad weather, and I began to feel my limbs pain me, although 1 did not pay any particular attention to it. They kept gradually getting worse, atm in a few weeks I dis covered that I had the rheumatism. When February and March came I was in a critical condition. When the spring weather opened
