For these reasons it Is thfc newspaper yon should read dnring the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columna never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West.

"I had a severe attack of bilions colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia/ Kan. "My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bot ties of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days with­ out relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been rnnning off so long that it was almost bloody flux. 1 asked him if he had tried K^hamberlain's Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea Remedy and he said 'No'. I went home and bronght him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was en­ tirely cured. I think it is the best medicine I have ever tried." For sale by Julia A. Story. "A»le«*p." Did you bear me when I called you. Love?

Not a token crossed your face. But you lay all pale and placid In that solitary place. Did you hear me when I called you, Love? You lay so fast asleep, And the stillness seemed so holy.

Story., BATTLE OF MANILA. OM it %• Kart Interesting PllMNM fa , Chicago. "Soldiers and sailors of the Civil Re­ bellion, visiting Chicago, are cordially invited to pitch their tent or cast anchor with the management of the Naval Bat­ tle of Manila, at Wabash avenue and Hubbard court, opposite the Battle of Gettysburg. Those contemplating at­ tending the National encampment of the G. A. R., and who have not decided in advance where they will stop, are wel­ come to have all mail directed to them care the Naval Battlfe of Manila, where it will be carefully looked after until called for. All such visitors will be cheerfully furnished all information as to hotel and railroad rates, etc." The above is a portion of a letter sent to the editor of this paper by Manager James S. Hutton of the Naval Battle of Manila, and who,adds: Before reaching Chicago the visiting stranger very naturally thinks of some of the many sights which he will enjoy while in the city. If he has been posted in advance, jt vision of the lake covered with shipping, the many beautiful public parks, the splendid boulevards, the great museum in Jackson Park, containing countless valuable specimens of products from all parts of the globe, and the priceless treasures of art in the massive edifice on Michigan boulevard are a few of the many attractions which would pass be­ fore his mind's eye. Chief among these is the-^great Elec- tro-Cyclorama representing^ the naval battle of Manila, located at Wabash ave­ nue aud Hubbard court On Sunday morning, May 1st, 1898, when the right-hand gun in the forward turret of the battleship Olympia sent a two hundred and fifty pound shell at tht Spanish Admiral's flagship, there opened one of the greatest sea fights in the an­ nals of naval warfare, and one that was to end in a victory so complete for the American flag as to astonish the civil­ ized world and to allow the United States "to come to her own ' in the front rank of the great nations of the earth. In this imposing naval tragedy en­ acted that cloudless morning on the sap­ phire waters of Subig Bay, Manila, that is reproduced with startling-like fidelity and historical accuiflcy in the big Cyclorama building at Wabash ave­ nue and Hubbard court. It is but simple truth io state that one could write a book on this marvelous spectacle,--marvelous because of both iubject and treatment, and yet not tell all that could be said about it. Come let us visit this much-talked of attraction, and judge for ourselves of the correctness of the repor ts concerning it. We enter the spacious doorway on Wabash avenue and find ourselves sur­ rounded on all sides by relics from the far-away Philippine Islands. We loiter but a few minutes over these curios and then hasten through the long corri­ dor and up the easy stair-way. When we have mounted to the top, we are startled at the scene that bursts upon us. Surely we are not in Chicago. The wand of enchantment has conveyed us into Sabig bay, and on that fateful day when Spain's hopes were crushed, the flower of her navy wrecked, and Dewey won victory and immortal fame for him­ self and his country. We are standing on deck of the Olym­ pia, the flagship of Commodore then-- but now Admiral Dewey. By the dim light or haze which spreads over the sea we faintly discern DeWey on the for­ ward bridge of the vessel. Near him are a group of officers. Every man is at his station, silent and expectant, for they know tfie hour is at hand when they will be called upon to battle for Old Glory. Suddenly the faint light is swept out and a low moaning sound comes to the ear from over the waters, and quickly grows into a terrific roar, above the din of which even the boom­ ing of the loudest cannon could not be heard. It is the dreaded typhoon, that scourge of the tropic seas, that has burst upon the American fleet. Inky black­ ness settles down over vesselap^nd water, and nothing can be seen except when revealed by the rapid flashes of lighten­ ing. These, with the frequent cannon­ ading of the thunder, are but a prelude to that other great cannonading shortly to be invoked by man. As quickly as it came the typhoon has passed. The storm king has blown the clouds be­ hind the horizon and the moon comes out, shedding her silver lustre into pale beauty over the black engines of war. It is just at the dawn. Looking al­ most directly over the bow of the vessel we see the eastern sky lighted up with tie hectic flush of the coming day. Then the sun rises like a great red ball of fire, revealing the city of Manila off yonder in the distance, and in the shad­ ow of the foothills is the Spanish fleet. The battle is now on. Like an inspiration, the artists have seized and portrayed tlufti moment in the memorable engagement when most of the Spanish vessels were burning or otherwise completely disabled, while their decks were swept with a torrent of shells from the guns on the American vessels. The deck on which we stand trembles from the shock of the cannon firing. Great clouds of smoke rise on every side. Shells from the Spanish guns explode in the air or plunge into the sea, sending up great columns of foam and spray. ' The entire scene is spread out before our eyes in panoramic beauty and sublimity. The fate of two nations is being decided before us. It is decided now, for suddenly a white flag is run up by the Spanish in token of surrender, while the stars and stripes wave triumph­ antly in the Sunday summer air. •* Then a loud voice on deck cries out, "Turn on the fans," and we are instant­ ly transported back from the great naval drama enacted in Manila Bay to Chi: cago. The above hurredly written and nec- essaiily brief description of the Manila engagement was compiled from the story of Joseph L. Stickney, who acted as aid for commodore Dewey on board the Olympia during the Manila fight. EVery drawing and photograph of the Electro-Cyclorama were taken on the spot or during the battle, and is there­ fore topographically correct. All of the data and other material which has been used in the construction of the war pic­ ture are historically accurate. Conse­ quently it is very easy to understand how modern stage mechanism, going hand-in-hand with perfect art methods, have produced a marvelous and stirring battle scene, that for size and grandeur and in conception and treatment has never been equaled. Visiting members of the G. A. R. and sailor vetexans will find the attraction well worthy their consideration for the following reason, if no other, It will give them a splendid opportunity to compare the present method of warfare with that of the time of ball and muz­ zle-loading methods of fighting. It will also prove that the same dauntless spirit which sustained them during the dark days of the rebellion, has descended to to their sons who fought before Manila. President McKinley, who was a vet­ eran of the civil rebellion, commended the picture to everyone, and especially to the old soldier element. ..When Ad­ miral Schley visited the Electro-Cyclo­ rama he was enthusiastic in its praise. Here we have both soldier and sailor ̂ one, President of his country, the other a naval hero,^ honestly admiring this mammoth reproduction of the United State' greatest naval victor}-. The Board of Education of Chicago passed upon and indorsed the splendid spec­ tacle. To young and old of both sexes it is a source of amusement and instruction. All patriotic parents desire their child­ ren to become versed in the history of their country. An hour's visit to the war picture at Wabash avenue and Hubbard court will do them infinitely more good than weeks of study in school. Soldiers and sailors are given an especially warm welcome by the man­ agement, while teachers, school children and others getting up visiting parties are made special rates. Located in the heart of the busy por­ tion of Chicago, easy of access from all of the principal hotels and railroad sta­ tions, visitors will have no trouble in finding the Cyclorama building.

Mys. Dr. Schroeder is rejoicing over the remarkable vitality of her pet cat. The animal was unearthed by the work­ men engaged in clearing away the rub­ bish of the Minerva block after being buried for twenty days. She had long iven the animal up for dead and sup- sed that it had perished in the flames. Strange to say it has been caught by falling walls and covered so that it was impossible to get away, yet was not crushed. Puss was nearly dead from lack of water and nourishment, and could not have existed much longer. It soon revived, however, and gives promises of long life. The finder was liberally rewarded by Mrs. Schroeder, receiving, it is said, $100.--Bloomington (111.) Bulletin.
