SUMMER DIARRHOEA IN CHILDREN.
During the hot weather of the summer
month the first unnatural looseness of a
child’s bowels should have immediate at-
tention, so as to check the disease before
it becomes serious. All that is necessary
is a few doses of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy followed
by a dose of castor oil to cleanse the system.
Rev. M. O. Stockland, Pastor of the first
M. E. Church, Little Falls, Minn., writes:
“We have used Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for several
years and find it a very valuable remedy,
especially for summer disorders in chil-
dren.” Sold by all druggists.

visited the city, but the excursions were
extended over a period of four and five
days. It just so happened that the ex-
tensions to the tracks of the Union pas-
senger station were finished Saturday
and were available for the long trains
of that day and Sunday. Heretofore these
long excursion trains had to be cut up in
sections and divided on several tracks
beneath the train shed once filled with
cars, only on6 train or fraction xf a
train could get out at any one time, th'
longest train usually blocking the otaera
because all of the four tracks merged into
one at the western end of the tram shed.
But with these four and three other tracks
extended over a block straight out, the
long trains of twelve and fifteen cars
were handled like clock w-ork and without
any switching or delay. It reduced the
Libor and annoyance at the Union, passen-
ger station fifty per cer>. and p:oveJ a
great blessing to the m ciworked station
crew under Cao:. Farrell, depot master,
and th® passenger representatives and
trainmen who had to do with the hand-
ling of the crowds.
All the trains last night were crowded
with excursionists returning home and
every train carried from three to five extra
cars, and yet tonight’s trains are going to
be jammed. The Santa Fe last night car-
ried four sleepers with every berth taken,
and long before noon this morning had
sold every berth in five sleepers, with ap-
plications on file for enough or more than
to fill another sleeper. But the rolling
stock is not available, and all of the roads
could have filled one or two more sleepers
than they have for tonight’s trains.
There were numerous applications for
extension of the limit on these tickets,
but the railroads have positively refused
further extension of these two-day excur-
sion tickets because of the unusually low
rates pu£ on.
rice and other crops well suited to the

ent there are thirty young Filipinos in the
United States studying farming in various
agricultural schools throughout the north-
ern states.
Because of race prejudice In the south,
the young Filipinos have not taken kindly
to the idea of attending southern institu-
tions, but as corn is practically the only
northern crop which is grown in tl:eii

Special to The Tribune.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 18—Indications
are that the congressional free seed dis-
tribution will be fought more bitterly next
session than ever before. Encouraged by
the pronounced opposition of the senate
and house committees on agriculture to
this appropriation, and its almost univer-
sal condemnation by the press and public, the visit of the battleships more people
those interested have undertaken a “cam-
paign of education,” to use a hackneyed
term.
The Granges have taken up the matter
dn a systematic manned. The farmers are
tired of the idea that their votes can be
influenced by the receipt of a package of
seeds which they can buy at the corner
grocery for five cents, and which usually
arrives too late for planting. They say
they do not want sunflower and pumpkin
seed from congress, and point out that the
$242,000 now wasted in this manner would
support a national agricultural college, the
like of which the world has never seen,
with eighty professors at $2500 a year, and
sufficient fundsjjtOyjrjaintain the institu-
tion. Divide^ among, the agricultural col-
leges, it would give each state institution,
between five and: ten thousand dollars
more than thfey n6Y/ receive. This, the
farmers say, would “do much more good
than the disp'ibutTojri of rutabaga, turnip
or parsnip seed.
An analysis of th® vote on this question
in the house of representatives last May
shows that the’ free seed distribution item
was inserted in the agricultural appro-
priation bill by Dejnocratdc votes. Led
by Representatives Gaines of Tennessee
and Lamb of Virginia, eighty-two Demo-
crats voted for the appropriation. They
rallied to their support seventy-one Re-
publicans, Including such old war-horses
as Hepburn of Iowa, Crumpacker of In-
diana, th® Dandis boys, Fred and Charley,
of Indiana; Lacey of Iowa, Curtis and
Calderhead of Kansas, Allen and Powers
of Maine, Bishop, Hamilton and Fordney
of Michigan, and others. All these are old
campaigners and they believe that free
seeds helps them campaign.
A further analysis of the vote shows that
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken-
tucky, Louisiana, Maryland Missouri,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas and Virginia cast seventy-eight
votes for free seeds to six against it. With
the exception of Maryland (one), Missouri
(two) and North Carolina (thr.ee), every
vote cast by a member of congress from
a southern state was in favor of “free
seeds.” In the case of the great agricul-
tural states of the north, east and west,
less than a majority of the whole state
delegations voted for the appropriation,
while in many cases there were more
votes against it than for it. Indiana
showed up with five, Illinois with only six,
Ohio did better with eight, Pennsylvania
found ten trusty “free-seeders,” while
, Minnesota produced only one. Massachu-
setts cast seVen votes against and only

Statement for Year Just Issued Shows
Gross Gain of 16 Per Cent.
Earnings of the Rock Island company
of New Jersey from all sources were, for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1906, equal
to 5.36 per cent of the preferred Issue.
The company, therefore, earned the full
4 per cent dividend called for, leaving a
surplus of 1.36 per cent. The Frisco sys-
tem earned something better than 5 per
cent on its common stock after all
charges. The policy of the companies has
been for the last year or more to pay no
dividends not absolutely required, and to
two for; “free seeds” got half the Ne- eXpC.n<] the net income in carrying out
plans for the improvement of the prop-
erties.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific sys-
tem showed for the fiscal year an increase
of over $7,000,000 in gross business. This
was equal to a gain of 16 per cent, and be-
yond the average percentage of gain.
The net made even a better exhibit, with
an increase of 27 per cent, or $3,155,589.
The Frisco lines did not do relatively quite
so well. For the fiscal year the gain in
gross was 9.3 per cent, or $3,593,002. The
gain in net earnings was $1,418,784, or 11.3
per cent. The gain made by both sys-
tems, controlled by the Rock Island com-
pany, was over $10,000,000 in gross and
over $4,500,000 in net.
The statement of the Atchison for the
fiscal year was better in the matter ot
percentage of gain in net than the Rock
Island, though not so good in gross. The
increase in the latter was 14 per cent and
in the net 30 per cent. The gross business
was $78,044,. 347 and the net $29,546,829.

Indulgences to Members of Catholic
Church Who Do Not Drink.
Providence, R. I., Aug. 13.—The national
convention of the Catholic Total Absti-
nence Union of America began Wednes-
day when a majority of the 800 delegates
assembled - In Music hall for the formal
opening exercises. The delegates repre-
sent a membership of about 100,000 in the
United States and they are headed by
Bishop J. F. R. Canevin of Pittsburg, as
president.
A letter received from the Vatican at
Rom® was1 read by Bishop Canevin of
Pittsburg.
The Pope expressed the hope that all
members of the Catholic Church will be-
come total abstainers, and as an encour-
agement granted several indulgences. Th®
letter said in part:
“We desire to encourage the efforts of
the union by a tender of spiritual gifts,
and for this reason we confirm the priv-
ileges accorded the Union by Leo XIII. of
happy memory and grant especially those
which follow:
“A plenary indulgence on the usual con-
ditions to each-member on the anniver-
sary of his admission; furthermore those
>who join th© union in the future may
gain the same grace on the day of their
admission.
“To all present or future members we
grant a plenary Indulgence at the hour of
death, provided they have confessed and
received the holy eucharist, or, if this be
impossible, provided they invoke the name
■of Jesus.
“A plenary indulgence likewise on the
principal feast day of the union to all
present and future members provided they
observe the due conditions.

New York, Aug. 13.—Wilson Ellinquist,
38 years old of Brooklyn, and Joseph Moss,
24, of Williamsburg, professional aero-
nauts, were severely injured by burns
and contusions from falling from, a burn-
ing balloon at Flatbush last night.
For several weeks, they have been mak-
ing ascensions and doing parachute feats
for an amusement concern at Bergen
Beach. Seeking to vary the attraction, it
had been advertised that the men would
make an ascension last night from Flat-
bush and try to land near the show ground
at Bergen Beach.
They filled the large hot air balloon,
and a great crowd assembled to witness
the start into the clouds.
The big bag shot into the air with the
performers waving their hats from the
basket. When it reached an altitude of
about 200 feet there was a muffled report,
sudden lurching of the balloon sidewise
and a shout of terror from the aeronauts.
A small flame was seen to curl out on
side of the bag, puffs of smoke be-
gan to envelope it and then the bulky
thing.commenced to settle rapidly. Three
thousand throats on the ground uttered
exclmations of horror as the balloon
gained momentum in its descent. The
flames grew brighter, the bag began to
and then it seemed to collapse
when about 200 feet from the ground and
settled down, a mass of smoke and fire.
Both men clung to the burning basket
until they were near the ground. Moss
had climbed on the outside and hung by
his hands, but Ellinquist remained in the
basket his head bent forward, trying to
escape the fiery draughts.
When the flaming mass of cotton and
ropes struck the ground 50 men sprang
forward and dragged the. men from their
perilous position. Both were unconscious.
Moss had dropped about 20 feet, but the
other man held on and fell with the
basket. An ambulance was summoned and
it was found that Moss had suffered severe
injuries internally and both were critically
burned.

Washington, Aug. 13.—Care will be taken
by the United States government to pre-
vent contractors from doing injustice to
the Chinese laborers employed for work
on the Panama canal.
The specifications advertising ' for pro-
posals to supply 2500 Chinese to the canal
commission will stipulate that the sec-
retary of war shall have the privilege of
passing on contracts which labor agents
make with Chinese who are to be sent
to the Isthmus. This provision will make
it possible for Secretary Taft to prevent
discrimination against the coolies by un-
scrupulous contractors. Under this agree-
ment the United States wall know exactly
what is paid to the Chinese by the labor
Some labor agents believ that with the
many restrictions the canal commission
purposes placing upon contractors it will
