Man of Mystery.

tin; Tribune lrom Loudon says: The
altered aspect of the Tri.iisvaal nfl'air
continuefl to be n mystery too deop to bo
probed by anybody outside of tho chief
secretary's room in tho colonial oftlee.
President Krugor has suddenly changed
his ground. Ho lias been refusing to
grant a joint inquiry into the preciee
effects of the poposed political chungee,
but had offered a live years' franchise
and increased representation under tho
condition that tho suzerainty Hhonld bo
abandoned.

reverting to hid original echeme, has ac
cepted the suggestion for u conference of
hoiiio kind. Tho facts are in dispute,
but this seems to he a closo approach to
the truth. Why has Krugor changed
front to suddenly? That is tho difficult
piestiun to answer. His now attitude
would bo intelligiblo if ho had received
from Mr. Chamberlain in tho last week
or the week before a somowhat peremp
tory intimation that the patience of the
British government was exhausted and
that it could not wait any longer, but

From tlio Times, llillstille, Va.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
suffered so much misery that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
coverv and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and also eome testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was entirely
well ol that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-sufferers
that I am a hale and hearty man to
day and feel as well as I ever did in my
life. O. K. Moore. Sold by Blakeley &
