it may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has tho right to
publicly recommend any of tho various
p opMotiu v medicines which flood the
niaiker, yet as a preventive of suffering
wo feel it n duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
lhoea Itemed. We have known and
used this medieinu in our family lor
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In'iuany cases a doBo of this
lemedy would save hours of suffering
while h physician is awaited. Wo do
not believe in depending implicitly on
anv metlictne lor a cure, out we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avo'ded
anil in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not he required. At
least tills has been our experience
during the past twenty yearB. For sale

The Palouse Country.
Couux', Wash., Aug. 10. Harvest is
in full swing throughout the Palouse
country. Heading is progress'ng in all
parts of the county, although only a few
threshers are yet at work in tho grain.
Reports from tho grain fields are that
crops this year will average fully up to
last year, and the quality of wheat will
ho much better. Fears entertained In
the first part of the week that tho heavy
rains would greatly injure grain have.
been allayed. Farmers say now that
the loss from this source will be slight,
while on the other hand these rains
probably will greatly increase both the
yield and quality of late sown grain.
