four days that the malady took a serious turn.
At the beginning of his illness he suffered from
diabetes and stomach disorder. loiter the
kidneys refused to perform their functions and
he passed quietly away. Thus ended _ the life
of one of the most prominent men in Cali

timely death was the result of neglecting early
symptoms of kidney disease.

Wonderful.
The cures which are being effected by Drs.
Starkey & Palen , 1529 Arcli St. , Philadelphia ,
Pa. , in Consumption , Catarrh , Neuralgia ,
Bronchitis , Rheumatism , , and all chronic dis
eases , by their compound Oxygen Treatment ,
are indeed marvelous.
If you are a sufferer from any disease which
your physician has failed to cure , write for in
formation about this treatment , and their book
of two hundred pages , giving a history of
Compound Oxygen , its nature and effects with
numerous testimonials from patients , to whom
you may refer for still further information ,
will be promptly sent , without charge.
This book aside from its great merit as a
medical work , giving , as it does , the result of
years of study and experience , you will find a
very interesting one.

The following , clipped from the Burlington
Junction , ( Mo. , ) Post , contains information of
no little value to persons troubled with indi
gestion :
For years the editor of the Post has been
subject to cramp colic or fits of indigestion ,
that prostrated him for several hours and un-
fiticd him for business for two or three days
af erward. About a year ago we called on 5.
J. Butcher , dniggist , and asKed for something
to ward off an attack that was already making
life hideous. Mr. Butcher handed us a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cholic , Cholera and Diar
rhoea remedy. We took the medicine accord
ing to directions , and not only found relief on
that occasion , but have several times since
tried its virtues and found relief in every in
stance. We take this method of acknowledg
ing the benefits derived and recpmmending
the cure to all others subject to indigestion.

of this place. In almost every neighborhood
throughout the west , there are some one or
more persons whose lives have been saved by
this remedy. It is natural for such persons to
take especial pleasure in recommending the
remedy to others. The praise that follows its
introduction and use makes it immensely pop
ular. While it is intended especially for colic ,
cholera morbus , dysentery and diarrhoea , it is
also claimed to cure chronic diarrhoea. If
such be the case , it is certainly a "Godsend"
to many a poor mortal.

IN A HOT PLACE.
There used to exist a grout rivalry
between Captains of steamboats ply
ing on our larger rivers. To outspeod
one another they wouUl recklessly put
more steam upon the capacity of their
engines than they possibly could stand
and in consequence the boilers fre
quently burst and the boats were
wrecked.
I was employed for a number of
years on a boat , which had u. boiler
explosion in such a race. by. which six
persons lost their lives. After the
damage was repaired and the six vic
tims buried we made the necessary
preparation to resume our voyage.
Some carpenter-work remained to be
done , but the ' . uptuin thought that
could be finished wh le the boat was
running. We had worked very hard
for two days , and the last afternoon
was allowed us for recreation , for
early ne t morning the anchor would
be heaved. So we went ashore.
When I returned to the boat the
night was bitter < old and very stormy.
In tfad of stal.oin.i2T a watt-'iman on
deck , the boat-wu , n locked every
thing and retired to his cabin. Only
the engine-room was open , and the
boards and planks which were de
molished by the plosion had not ,
been replaced. The floor was wet ,
and no place could b3 found on deck
as a shelter against the increasing
storm.
I concluded to leave the interior of
the boat and sleep in open air instead
of baing expose.l to the feur'.U draft
I felt in ths < l..rk with my hands

when ray foot u.'i.fst ! on a cover ly

and which , when the boiler is used , is

with a weighty clamp-iron , making
the boiler air-tight

divers sounds , by which I concluded
that day was approaching , though all
around me was impenetrable darkness.
The fearful thought struck me that
during my sleep the opening of the
boiler might have been closed. I
crept towards it A chill went to my
heart. All was dark , closed , impene

me , without the least opening to ad

me of consciousness. Moaning ,

While 1 lay there a sensation crept
over me as if my feet were lying in
water. It rose higher and higher.
It already reached toward my knees ,
and it made me feel uncommonly
chilly. The chilliness increased. An
indescribable sen atiou crept over me ,
as more and more the water covered
my body. At hI rising slowly , it
reached my head : stid finally my mouth.

nothing new that man had to die such
a death. Thousands are often caught
in such small spaces of a ship , have
sunk to the bottom of the sea , have in
despair beaten against the too-well
closed hatches and been drowned.
Why should I not also die in this way ?
But after I had accustomed myself to
the thought , another came to me.
