Mis Last Hope Realized. In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889. the editor ot this paper was among the meny seekers after fortune who made the race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check-, and along ki June the case became so bad he expected to die, One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on tne ground in great agony, and in a few minutes tne dose wan repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and Within an hour the patit nt was taking " his first sound sleeep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The seaeon for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item, (FROM THE SENTINEL, GEBO, MONT,) For sale by J.

We can believe as much or as little as we like of the tales and rumors and conjectures we have been getting from various 'parts of Columbia regarding the prospects of the canal treaty. There are a few things we know and they will suffice for the present: One is that it remains for the Columbian congress to ratify, the treaty before it can become effective. Another is that the Columbian congress will not act until seme time in July. Another is that there is opposition to the ratification of the treaty in some quarters in Colombia, for there always is opposition in a legislative body to every important measure. That is about all we know at present. It is not at all improbable that a good many members of the Colombian parliament want to be "seen" by our government or the Panama com-, pany or both, and they may be numerous enough to make trouble, but that is mere conjecture. It will not hurt us to wait and it will not do us much good to guess at the truth or untrnth of the numerous stories we hear from the centers of disturbance. Chicago Chronicle.
