While in Chicago, Mr. Charles L
Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of
Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious
time of it. He took such a severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate,
but the prompt use ot Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy cured him of his cold so
quickly that others at the hotel who had
bad colds followed his example and half
a dozen persons ordered it from the
nearest drug store. They were profuse
in their thanks to Mr. Kakler for telling
them how to cure a bad cold so quickly.

There’* Always a Season.
It is an easy thing to account for the
wonderful growth of the Daily State
Journal recently. Its price has been
reduced to 50 cents per month without
Sunday or 65 cents with Sunday. The
Journal has always been reliable and
honest, printing the news without fear
or favor. The people of Nebraska realize
that they need a paper published at the
capital, and when the price of the Jour
nal was reduced the subscription list
grew at a phenomenal rate. The Jour
nal is a Nebraska paper through and
through.

changing servants?” “No, indeed; the

A. M. Baily, a well known citizen of
Eugene, Cregon, says his wife has for
years been troubled with chronic diar
rhoea and used many remedies with lit
tle relief until she tried Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which has cured her sound and well.
Give it a trial and you will be surprised
at the prompt relief it affords. 25 and

applied before the parts become swolen
it will cffact a cure in one-half the time

HE WAS GRANT’S FRIEND.
Dr. Shrady 11m Been Vary Bni; Since
the Death of III* Comrade.
"There goes the man who was one
of General Grant's best friends.”
I saw a sturdy, well built man, who
looked not more than fifty years old.
A suit of gray covered his muscular
form and broad shoulders and he wore
a plain $3 derby hat with easy walk
ing shoes. The man had a strong but
good natured face and he wore a mili
tary moustache and short imperial.
The soldierly pedestrian was Dr.
George F. Shrady who was ono of
General Grant’s physicians in his last
illness and who was with him when
he died. But Dr. Shrady was General
Grant’s comrade or friend in the war
ns well as his physician after the war.
Dr. Shrady has prospered since those
early days when he first smelled pow
der under McClellan. He has a charm-'
ing home in the fashionablo part of
New York, in which his offices are,and
these are constantly thronged by the
class of patients that are pretty sure
to make the doctor rich in a very short
time.
There are few more busy men to be
found anywhere than this genial phy
sician. His private practice alone
would be considered enough by any
ordinary man to have to attend to.
Not so Dr. Shrady. In addition to at
tending to his practice he is consult
ing physician in two large New York
hospitals. His services are constantly
being called for by the courts to act
as an expert in some case beyond the
knowledge of the lawyers. He is the
chief editor of a medical journal of
standing, and at certain seasons he
delivers lectures in the Medical col
lege of New York. Dr. Shrady is one
of the simplest and most democratic
meu in his profession and is credited
with being one of the most kind
hearted as well.
LED BY A CHILD.
■•Loan on Me, Pupa, Wo Aro Nearly
What a wealth of affection a little
child has for her parents! History
teems with heroic sacrifices that they
have done for father and mother, and
well that it does, for they deserve
it. A little incident occurred
upon a Philadelphia street car
the other night that brought this
thought forcibly home to the minds of
passengers. Stopping at Arch street
a little girl helped her father to his
seat. He was a big, powerful man
who would not under ordinary cir
cumstances need any assistance of
this nature, but upon this occasion he
had tarried too long at a near-by
saloon. He was very much under the
influence of liquor. As they sat in the
car, one of the little girl’s
hands stole quietly into the broad
palm of her father. A tear stood in
either eye, for she knew her mother
was worrying at home. A sick baby
had forced her to remain while the
daughter was dispatched after the
erring parent. After going several
squares the little girl motioned to the
conductor to stop the car. He did so.
She tugged at her father’s arm and
aroused him from his drunken stupor.
“Come, papa,” she said, “w3 must
get out here. We are nearly home.”
The father pulled himself together
and started to alight. It was a hard
task for him and the little one was
quick to notice it.
“Lean on me, papa,” she bravely
said, as she took hold of his arm. And
nearly borne down by the weight, the
father was enabled to reach the street
safely. The car passed on. Tears
stood in the eyes of the passengers, as
they quietly watched the pair pass
out of sight in an adjoining street
Snake Mountain.
There is a horse-slioe-shaped moun
tain in Manitoba which literally
swarms with snakes twice every year.
In the early autumn those slippery
customers gather there from all di
rection's, mostly from the prairie coun
try of the South. In one side of the
mountain there is a circular hole
about fifteen feet deep, and as smooth
as if it had 'been fashioned with an
auger, where tens of thousands of
reptiles spend the cold winter months
together. Persons who have tried to
explore this immense snake den dur
ing the summer, when the regular
tenants are absent, say that dozens of
subterranean passages lead out uuder
the mountain in all directions from
the bottom of the well. An authority
estimates that he has seen 300,000
snakes of all sizes knotted together
and piled up in a semi-torpid state in
this ‘'Well of Serpents,” as it is called
<n the Northwest.
yexlco’j (Greatest Need.
Says an American businessman who
has been living in Mexico. “What Mex
ico most needs is education. The ig
norance of the peons is astonishing.
If the great churches of America,
which are yearly sending millions of
dollars to China and Africa to educate
the heathen there, would devote a
fair portion of that money to Mexico,
far more good would be accomplished.
The money would be better spent
and results more apparent. The few
missionaries in that country are do
ing good, but their number is not
sufficient. Then, less theology and
more liberal education should be
taught, and sectarianism should not
interfere with the work. Strange as
it may seem, the English tongue has
displaced the French as a foreign
tongue, and is rapidly being learned
by the younger natives.”
No Trouble to lteuiember It.
“The password is Saxe. Now don’t
forget it, Pat." said the colonel just
after the battle of Fontenoy, at which
Saxe was marshal. “Sacks? Faith,
and I will not. Wasn't my father a
miller?” “Who goes there?” cried
the sentinel after the Irishman had
arrived at his post. Pat was as wise
as an owl, and in a sort of whisper
yell replied: “Bags, your honor!”

FATE OF TWO SPARROWS.
They Were Guying People on a Steam*
■lilp When Something Happened.
Two impertinent sparrows met a
curious and untimely death in the
presence of an interested New York
crowd a few days ago. One of the
Cunard steamships was being warped
in to her dock while crowds of people
on the pier and the vessel were chaf
ing at the delay and slownoss of the
tedious process. A thick hawser
fastened to a capstan near the bow
was being used in the warping pro
cess and was Btiff as a pole under the
tremendous strain.
The sparrows who had been twitter
ing and chirping about the place flut
tered out to examine the hawser.
Evidently it was a new perch
stretched for their benefit where it
would afford a good view of both boat
and pier, they thought. They settled
on it half way out. At first the slight
vibration of the big rope caused them
some uneasiness, but they soon got
over it and fell to poking fun at the
waiting people. They would glance
pertly first at the travelers; then at
the expectant friends, and then they
would turn to each other and chirp
out impertinent, guying remarks and
twitter with glee until they nearly
fell off their perch.
In the very midst of their enjoy
ment something happened. There
was a muffled report and the thick
hawser parted like a thread just
where the feathered jokers had been
standing, causing the dockmen to run
as one end came writhing toward
them like a snake. It was like the
burst of thunder sound in Mrs.
Ilemans’ poem; the birds, oh, where
were they? Two little fluffy bunches
of feathers rode the crest of a ripple
in the water and disappeared under
the pier.
“Poor little things. It killed them,”
said a lady on the pier.
Then a new hawser took the place
of the old, the big ship Bwung in, and
everybody pushed forward to greet
long-absent friends.
She Kelt Safe '1 hen.
It was during a recent small-poa
scare in a certain town in the Mid
lands, in England. An old lady from
the country thought she would like
to take a cab, but she was rather
anxious, having heard that many of
the cabs had been used to carry
small-pox patients to the hospitals.
She asked the driver whether there
was any risk of catching the disease.
“Not in the least, mum,” answered
the cabby; “I’ve had one of my back
wheels vaccinated, mum.” Thus re
assured, the old lady stepped in and
proceeded on her way.
