News, Brevrad,
It may bo a question whether the
editor of n newspaper lias the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
nmrkct, yet as a nreventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Choi eraMud Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family lor
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In'many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe ttiat if n bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least thia lias been our experience
during tho past twenty years. For sale

IS CONCERNED
ABOUT WAR
To tire Chaplain of Dewey's Flagship,
He Expressed His Horror of Blood
shed and Dilated on Importance of
Bringing the War to an End.
New ionic, Aug. 28. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Rome
says :
His holinese, the pope ia deeply con
cerned about the war in the Philippines.
He has communicated his anxiety to the
Rev. Father Reamy, chaplain of the
Olympia.
In the plainest possible terms, Leo ex
pressed a Btrong desire to see peace
established between the United States
and the natives, and said that he con
templated the opinion of negotiations
with the United States government with
a view to regulating the position of
Catholics in the Philippines.
All this was in the course of a special
audience accorded to the chaplain of
Dewey's flagship. In heartfelt terms,
he expressed his horror of bloodshed
that had occurred and dilated upon the
importance of making every endeavor to
bring it to an end. He took it for granted
that when peace was concluded, the
United States would establish a bene
ficent rule under which the Philippines
would quietly reach a condition of
happiness and prosperity.
Hie hnlinesB asked many questions
about Admiral Dewey'a personality, his
opinions, and inquired sympathetically
about the state of his health. At the
conclusion of tho interview, he gave
Father Reamy an autograph letter for
delivery to the admiral and made the
priest the bearer of his benediction to
the crew of the Olympia.
