Twenty-six thousand deaths from cholera hi ve r* still* d in Egypt si nee the outbreak of that plague a year or so ago. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says there is the normal supply of meat in the West, with plenty of fat cuttloaiid therein no reason any longer for high prices. Where you see a happy, sweet tempered child, says the Scots¬ man, you may rest assured that il is not a spoilt < n *. It has been taught very early the lesson of giving up its own inclination to the will of others, and has learned to he useful in its tiny way. An Illinois mail was recently arrested for failure to pay a board bill contracted w hile seeking em¬ ployment in Indiana. The case was, however, dismissed when the testimony showed that lie was ()h years of age and was the father of thirty-two daughters, all living and dependent upon him.—Macon Telegraph. The Enquirer-Huii's special in¬ dustrial edition appears next Mon¬ day morning, the 20th. The en¬ ure edition will be printed on a No. 1 qualify of book paper, it be well-illustrated and will present a handsome appearance typographi¬ cally. All in all it is hoped that it will be voted quite an attractive advertisement of Columbus and its many advantages. Henry L. Shnttuek of Hliells luirg, Iowa, was cured of a stom¬ ach trouble with which he had been afflicted for years, by four boxes of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. He had pre¬ viously tried many other remedies and a number of physicians with¬ out relief. For sale by All Drug¬ gists. The Bible lias been barred from the public schools of Nebraska, by the unanimous opinion of the Su¬ preme Court of that state. And not only must the Bible be kept out of (ho schools, but the singing of religious songs is prohibited and no prayer, must be uttered within the school house walls as a part of the exercises. The decision of the court, it is said, was strictly in line with the provisions of the state constitution. The light between concentrated capital and organized labor now being waged in tho coifl regions of Pennsylvania is liable to burst in¬ to civ'd war in the thickly settled northern section of tho country. It was the capital of that nation in the hands of a few that caused tho French Revolution and its ac¬ companying terror. But tyrants never learn anything from history, Aml that old firebug Sherman’s epigram that “war is hell” is now being experienced in the old vil Iain’s own country.—Bainbridge Argus. Promoters of both Great Britain and Germany are making earnest efforts to grow cotton successfully in the African colonies, and while they have not so far met with any marked success, they do not feel discouraged by any means, but whether Africa will over prove to a formidable rival of the American cotton states remains for the fu¬ ture* to unfold. It is not at all probable, however, that the south bus anything to fear from Africa lor several years to come at any rate. Secretary Wilson of the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture is authority for the statement that the supply of meat iii the West is up to the normal level. There should be no scarcity anywhere, lie says, as the cattle are plenty and fat. The secretary is authority for the fur¬ ther statement that the packing houses have put down the whole¬ sale prices, and that “if the public is still paying high prices, it is do¬ ing so from force of habit.” This is an interesting statement, from a high authority. It means, if it means anything, that consumers have got to jmake a kick fof lower prices before they will get them.— Savannah Morning News. «#7 & ALL WOMEN Wino of Cardui Is the guardian of a woman’s health and happi¬ ness from youth to old age!

Reed gives this defi of fame: “It is largely a matter of accident. Being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing or, better still, making people think you are doing the right thing, is about all there is to fame.” Tho Athens Banner doesn’t mince hut talks out frankly as follows: “The wholesale men and tho professional men of Athens should do something toward the support of the local newspapers. The newspapers are continually pulling for the community in which they are published and, as a rule, they are very poorly paid for this service.” It is understood that the fee that will be paid Prof, Lorenz of Vienna by Mr. Armour of Chica¬ go for the operation upon his little girl will be one of the largest on record, amounting to $75,000 in cash, and expenses. During his visit to Chicago, however, Prof. Lorenz will perforin an identical¬ ly similar operation upon another little girl, the child of poor par¬ ents, for which he will not receive one cent. Tho second child is the daughter of a freight handler, and she is suffering with the same kind of hip joint disease that af ilicts tho millionaire’s daughter. Without money and without price the poor child will have tho same surgical attention as that given for the exceptionally large fee.— Savannah Morning News. The election for congressmen place on Tuesday, Nov 4, while in this state there is no to any of the Democrat¬ nominees, it will be well for Democrat to east his ballot. should be a large vote, so that in the event some Republican or other candidate pops up-in op¬ position at the lust moment, he will not have a chance to becount in by a possible Republican House of Representatives, if the Republican majority in the House should he slim and the bosses de sired to strengthen it. But how¬ ever this may be, it is due to the best interests of the country that the Democracy should show that it is not falling off in strength in the South. “New Zealand has done the most daring things ever attempted by any modern government. The New Zealanders claim that New Zealand is a country without strikes. Laborers amt employers have their disputes there as else¬ where, but the one cannot quit work, or the other lock out work¬ men, pending a settlement of tho dispute in courts. It is also a country without paupers or poor houses, for injured workmen are cared for by their employers. The aged workman is pensioned by the Government as a soldier of indus¬ try worn out in tho ranks. The Government owns not only the postal system, but the express ser¬ vice, the telegraph lines and the railroads. Recently it has pur¬ chased a coal mine to supply its locomotives with fuel, and it in¬ tends to compete with private mines in the sale of coal to the public far enough to keep the price of coal down to a reasonable figure." There is not a pauper in New Zealand.

CIIAMBUKLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY Saved His Boy’s Life. “I believe I saved my (nine year old) hoy’s life this winter with Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says A. M. Hoppe, Rio Creek, Wis. “lie was so choked up with croup that he could not speak. I gave it to him freely until he vomited and in a short time he was all right.” For sale by All Druggists. The Power ol‘ Character. Margaret Stowe writes in the New York Journal as follows: The strength, the industry and civilization of a nation, all depend upon individual character. This character, which lies with each one of us to develop, is law and prder. It is human nature in its best form. Napoleon said: “The moral is to the physical as ten to one.” Our manners, our bearing, our presence, tel) tho story of our lives, though we do not speak ; and the influence of every act is felt in the utmost parts of the globe. Have you ever known an un¬ selfish person, of charitable and generous impulses, sociable, lov¬ ing, kind, thoughtful of others who was not universally liked and re¬ spected? A man may have comparatively little culture, not much ability, and little wealth, yet, he his char¬ acter sterling, he will always com¬ mand an influence; a strong char¬ acter creates confidence in men in high stntion as well as in humble life. Benjamin Franklin attributed his success in public life to his known integrity of character. He says: “Hence it was that I had so much weight with my fel¬ low citizens, I was a bad speaker, never eloquent, subject to much hesitation in my choice of words, hardly correct in, language, and yet 1 generally carry my point.” A man who lias mind without heart, cleverness without goodness no doubt has power, but it may be power only for mischief. Truthfulness, integrity and good¬ ness form the essentials of manly character, and the man who pos¬ sesses these qualities, together with strength, of purpose, carries with him a power that is irresistible. President Mitchell of the min¬ ers’ organization says that men, the full force of the strikers, will be ready to report for work twenty-four hours from the of the settlement of the difference between the men and the opera¬ tors, and that 75,000 tons of coal can be mined and ready for ment within forty-eight hours. is to be hoped Mr. Mitchell will soon have an opportunity for ing that the men are held so well in hand. Stricken With Paralysis. Henderson Grimett, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one arm and side. After being treated by an eminent physician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.— Geo. R. McDonald, Man, Logan county, W. Va: Several other very remarkable cures of partial paral¬ ysis have been effected by the use of this liniment. It is most wide¬ ly known, however, as a cure for rheumatism, sprains aud bruises. For sale by All Druggists. The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist, * The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in His Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep¬ tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by It—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad¬ the vance the kidney-poisoned the kidneys blood themselves will attack vital organs, or break down and waste away cell by cell. Then tbe richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's covery^sthe't'r^spedffcfor'kfdney.'^bladder Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a wonderful book telling about Swamp Root and its cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Then will be fourteen or more high class, up-to-date shows, not including the three or more absolutely free attractions, which have been se¬ cured at great expense. These lat¬ ter will consist of Prof. Record, who rides his bicycle down an in¬ clined stairway 200 feet long, into a cycle whirl, Mile. Orocco, who ascends a spiral tower while encas¬ ed in a fflobe only twenty-eight inches in diameter, and Prof. Car¬ ter, champion high diver of the world, who takes a back somer¬ sault from a ladder ninety feet high in a tank of water less than four feet deep.

Mr. L son says: “I am favored with >h custom of farm¬ ers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of w! ■ in I have supplied Chamberlain’s remedies. All tes¬ tify to their value in a household where a doctor* advice is almost out of the qi. stion. Within one mile of my »t**r»> the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, ho less than fourteen hive beeu absolute¬ ly cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
