An Awful Cough Cured "Two years ago our little girl had a touch of pneumonia, which left her with an awful cough. She had spells of coughing, just like one with the whooping cough and some thought she would not get well at all. We got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which acted like acharm. She stopped coughing and got stout and fat." writes Mrs. Ora Bussard, Brubaker II. This image is for sale by all druggists.

Nov. 30—Ames at stadium PRIEST Probably the most picturesque of the welcomes given the president was at Tuskegee Institute, the industrial school founded by Booker T. Washington. Carrages made in the school met the president at the station and took him and his party to the speakers' stand, where the 1,500 students neat and trim in their uniforms, passed in review before him. Floats representing the different industries of the school were in the pavilion, with people, both white and black, had gathered on the grounds to hear the president, and he was greeted by hearty cheers as he rose to speak. Says Encourage Negro. "To the white population as well as to the black, it is of the utmost importance that the negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness, that is to be enslaved to the interest of the white people that this policy be conscientiously pursued, and to the interest of the colored people that they clearly realize that they have the right to have a place here in the south not now offered elsewhere. "Within the last twenty years the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, w the State of Alabama and to Industrial and Normal Institute. industrial operations of the South have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere; so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the South to help them the degree to occupate in the highest degree useful to himself, and therefore to the community in which he lives. The South has always depended, and now depends, chiefly upon her native population for her work. Pleads for Training. "Therefore, in view of the scarcity not only of common labor but of skilled labor, it becomes doubly important to train every available man to be of the utmost use, by developing his intelligence, his skill and his capacity for conscientious effort. Hence the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white man and the black man and well worth the support of both races alike in the South and in the North. "Viewed from any angle, ignorance is the costliest crop that can be raised in any part of this Union. Every dojo of the education of either white man or black man, in head in hand and in heart, yields rich dividends to the entire community. It is in the interest and for the protection of the white man to see that the negro is educated. It is not only the duty of the white man but is to his interest to see that the negro is protected property. Every time a legal case is heard, every time a law is broken, every individual in the community has the moral tone of his life lowered. Tells of Obligations. "Hitherto I have spoken chiefly of the obligations existing on the part of the white man. Now let you remember, on the other hand, that no help can permanently avail you save as you yourselves develop capacity for selfhelp. You young colored men and women, educated at Tuskegee, must by precept and example lead your colts over the deeper inroads of lawful living. You are in honor bound to join hands in favor of law and order and to war against all crime, and especially against crime by men of your own race; for the heaviest: wrong done by the criminal is no wrong to his own race. "You must teach the people of your race they must scrupulously observe any contract into which they in good faith enter, no matter whether it is hard to keep or not. If you save money, secure homes and lead clean, decent, modest lives, you will win the respect of your neighbors of both races. "The future of the South now depends upon the people of both races living up to the spirit and letter of the laws of their several states, and making the destinies of both races no as races, but as law-abiding American citizens."

By applying an antiseptic dressing to wounds, bruises, burses and like injuries before inflammation sets in, they may be healed without maturation and in about one-third the time required by the old treatment. This is the greatest discovery and triumph of modern surgery. Chamberlainia's Pain act on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness and prevents any danger of blood poisoning.

We do hope that the President's gift of a gold-plated sewing machine to the empress of Japan won't make the empress dowager of China jealous.

The foremost man in the newspaper world, as any fair-minded person will concede, is the man with the longest nose for news. The country's postoffice business for the year ending June 30, last, shows an increase of $10,000,000, over the preceding year. And yet the average man probably did not notice any increase in his correspondence. Gay old King Leopold sends word to our President that the Roosevelt portrait adorns a bureau in the royal dressing room. There's a large and fascinating variety of portraits on that royal bureau, according to persistent gossip. All hands howled in chorus at the critics of Borgium, sculptor of angels. The Providence Journal demands to know whether the critics ever saw an angel, thus manifesting an intention to interview somebody—if not the angel, perhaps the crifle.

Why not, instead of getting rid of the poor thing, add the other two fifths? Chicago has a street car conductor who is the hdr to a title and a fortune in England.

RAISED AT LA PORTE CITY Editor There for Number of Years—Efforts of Friends to Save His Life End With Governor Folk Commuting Sentence. Des Molles, Oct. 22—Edgar Balley, who has most narrowly escaped the gallows at Kansas City for the murder of a hack driver, is a former lowan. Balley's father is at present a resident of LaPorte City, Ia, where Balley himself formerly resided and ran a newspaper for a number of years. He was also mayor of Lowanown prior to his residence in Kansas City. After arriving in Kansas City he took up the occupation of a hack driver and continued in this work until the strike of the union hack drivers, which was opposed to the murder committed by Balley. Immediately after the murder Bailey was arrested and tried, being found guilty of murder in the first degree, with a sentence of death. Repeated charges of murder and release and commutation of punishment, but without result. Bailey's aged father of LaPorte City made his home in Kansas City while pleading for the life of his son. The matter was dismissed from court there the verdict of the lower court was affirmed. Bailey's friends made a last attempt and pleaded with Governor Folk for a commutation of sentence. On the last day this was granted and Bailey will serve a life sentence in the Missouri state prison for his crime. Eldora, Oct. 26.—An indictment charging E. O. Soule of Iowa Falls, now serving an eighteen months' sentence at Anamossa for falsifying the accounts of the Home Savings bank of city of which he was cashier, with misappropriation of funds, was returned by the Hardin county grand jury yesterday. The latter charge is based on Soule's action with funds belonging to the Sherwood estate at Iowa Falls, which were left in his custody. Soule's term, good time off, will expire Dec. 23, but most soon as he steps on side the prison gates to answer the new indictment. BLYDENBURGH MUST SERVE. Eldora Wife Murderer Turned Down by Supreme Court Des Meyer, Oct 26.—E. S. Blydenburgh must spend the rest of his days behind the bars for the murder of his wife. The supreme court affirmed the conviction of the modern "Bluebeard" yesterday. Consequently Blydenburgh will not be compelled to return to New York and tell what became of two previous wives, who also died in Blydenburgh. The murder for which Blydenburgh is now serving sentence was committed in Eldora in May 1903.

The people feared the city would be plunged into darkness, but General Trepoff acted energetically. The troops took possession of the gas, gas and electric light works, and a guard was placed around the treasury. Jewelers hurriedly sent their stocks to places of safe keeping and the shopkeepers continued the work of boarding up their windows in the fire. During the afternoon striking workmen began marching into the outlying districts and inviting their comrades to join them. The police and troops did not interfere, but by General Trepoff's orders the spirit shops were closed. During the day the pharmacists formally struck. The police are becoming frightened, many of them offering their resignations. Reports from the interior say that the troops are moving a few trains, but The strikers are tearing up the tracks in some places. A state of siege exists in Moscow. The street cars are stopped and the Committee crowds the crowds of people. Martial law has been declared at Elizabethtown. General Treepoff believes the strike will exhaust itself at the end of the week, as the workmen are without money. A crisis is practically isolated from the rest of the continent of Europe, as the international service on all lines has virtually ceased. The tie-up in the interior is more complete than yesterday. The only trains running are operated by the railroad管理局. The strike contagion is spreading All classes of workmen are organiz- ing sympathetic strikes and indus- trial life in the country is coming to a shuddering halt. Continue. Either the workmen will be starved into submission, or pillage, with military 'interference and bloodshed on a large scale are bound to follow.

Oct. 27—Urgent recommendation is contained in the annual report of the paymaster-general of the navy for the warranting of paymasters' clerks in the navy and for the creation of a retired list for this branch of the service. "The present anomalous position of paymasters' clerks in the navy could not be more aptly illustrated," says Paymaster General Harris, "than by the sad case of Henry O. Metius, who lost his life in the Benington disaster. No right to pension, no hope of retirement, none of the privileges which pertain to all other officers—just hard wok is their role, absolutely nothing to look forward to except the death of the officer to die in the line of duty, leaving no provision for dependent ones." Attention is called to the serious embarrassment caused the bureau of supplies and accounts by its lack of supplies and that supplies are not inspected as satisfactorily and expeditiously as they would be if more officers were available for duty at various navy yards and a recommendation is made that the navy supply fund be immed- tated from $7,700,000 to $6,000,000.

BLOOD SHED IN RUSSIAN STRIKE Revolver Shots Exchanged By Opposing Parties — Seems Certain Services of Witte Will Be Called Upon to Avert Crisis. St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.—An encounter took place last evening between strikers and engine drivers who were preparing to take out trains. Revolver shots were exchanged, and a number of persons were killed or wounded. St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.—Confronted by a situation more crucial than any since the beginning of the political and social upheaval of Russia and which at the time this dispatch is filed shows no signs of amelioration, the emperor's ministers, under the leadership of Count Witte, spent almost a day yesterday in conference in the hope of finding some way out of the crisis into which the revolutionists and the socialists have cast the country. The general strike on the railroads is complete except in a few border provinces, and St. Petersburg, Moscow and other large cities are almost as closely beleganded as if they were invested by besteging armies. At the same time the industrial strike has assumed large dimensions and the turbulent elements in several localities are offering open resistance to the ministers, who had been in session during the day, resumed their meeting after a short interval for dinner and continued their deliberations until long after midnight. Theses of the deliberations is not known The ministers were summoned to meet, not as the committee of ministers, of which Count Witte is president, but as council of ministers, of which Count Solsky is properly the president. The ministers of Count Witte to preside, which was done by direction of the emperor, shows that a ministerial cabinet is actually though not formally an accomplished fact. It is understood that an edict formally establishing a ministerial cabinet, which will be used for name and address, will be issued in the Official Messenger Saturday next, together with an imperial rescript addressed personally to Count Witte, entrusting him with the simultaneously created position of premier. There appears to be some doubt as to whether it will take the portfolio of finance or that of the ministry of the interior. St. Peterburg, Oct. 26.—Over half of European Russia is in the grip of striking railroad men and the strike continues to spread rapidly in all directions. The roads in the Volga region are at a standstill and yesterday a general strike was proclaimed on the two remaining lines running out of St. Peterburg. Before the strike, we expected to be cut off from the outside world by way of the continent. This will also involve the suspension of postal communication. The League of Leagues has seized the opportunity to come to the support of the railroad men and has adopted a resolution favoring a strike of all professions. The telegraph operators are joining in the movement and the suspension of railroad traffic it is feared, will be followed by a complete obliteration of railroad workers. The situation is critical and pregnant of all sorts of dire possibilities. The factories in the affected districts have been forced to shut down for lack of fuel, and Moscow especially faces not only a food, but a water famine. Fortunately St. Petersburg will have communication open through Finland. The social democrats believe they have the government at their mercy since, with the railroads stopped, the authorities are powerless to transport troops in its absence. Bloodily civilians have ready been reported at various places and a dangerous agrarian movement has again broken out in the government of Samara. The strength displayed by the social democrats has amazed the authorities quite as much by surprise at the evidence of their power as they were at the time of the Gopnq rebellion. AFTER INSURANCE MEN Northwestern National of Minnesota in Troubles. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 26.-Sensational revelations of corruption in the former management of the Northwestern National Life Insurance company that will result in bringing of suits against W. F. Hecht, former president, and his associates for the restitution of company funds, alleged to have, been wrongly disbursed, are to be contained in the report of the Hennepin county grand jury, according to rumors in general circulation in local insurance circles today. The jury is expected to put its return this evening in court. The stock and it is declared by a man closely interested in the investigation that suits for restitution are already in process of preparation. The grand jury has occupied three weeks in the investigation and it is understood that the progress of the company from its inception, through its acquisition of a score of minor companies from the North Life and Savings company of Des Moines, until the recent upheaval had been the object of the closest scrutiny. Angered minor officials, deposed after the retirement of President Bechtel, are understood to have presented sensational evidence to the jury. The person who generally talks shop usually attends to his own business. Reported Former Peace Envoy Has Been Made Premier. IS HIGH IN THE CZAR'S FAVOR Has Boldly Ranged Himself on Side of Liberale—Emperor Shows Much Sympathy With Views and Favors Several Ministers Suggested. St. Peterburg, Oct. 24.—It was persistently reported in the clubs and in government circles late at night that the emperor yesterday had appointed Count Willett promier, with the portfolio of minister of finance. All the papers this morning give prominence to the report. St. Petersburg, Oct. 24—Count Witte, it now seems, has definitely come into the imperial favor and the shrewdest observers consider it certain that he will shortly be in active direction of the government as premier and head of a responsible cabinet. Since his return from the United States Count Witte has boldly ranged himself on the side of the liberals and has not only advocated complete liberty of speech, of the press and of assembly as a corollary of the coming douma, but has urged the extension of the powers of the douma along with the powers of the crown as well as a broader franchise, so as to admit of fuller representation from the ranks of labor and the cultured classes. The emperor, to whom the count personally outlined his views, displayed much sympathy with them and it is learned favored a number of ministers suggested by the count, including General Treppof, assistant minister of the interior, who now ranks as one of the most broad minded of his majesty's counsellors and ministers, and has harmoniously with Count Witte. The question of appointing a cabinet with a responsible premier, to which a factoin in the ministerial ranks has been offering stubborn opposition in special conferences, is likely to be decided on Wednesday next. The newly formulated statute governing the right of assembly was generally recognized as not being broad enough even before its promulgation and the Solsky reform commission had begun. The reception of the Countess Witte by the empress yesterday is considered a singular evidence of the emperor's determination to confide his fortunes to the hands of Count Witte. No other interpretation is placed upon it in court circles, where the reception of the countess created a tremendous sensation. The countess is a Jewess of ordinary birth and had never before been received at court. When M. Meyer appointed her as a nun in the nineteen, the emperor was reported to have said to him: "Remember you are not married." The fixing of his wife's social status, which has been one of Count Witte's ambitions, must rank as one of the triumphs of his life. Chicago, Oct. 24.—Declaring that testimony that the packers were compelled to produce seize the secretary of commerce and labor was used by U. S. District Attorney Morrison in obtaining an indictment against the packers, and alleging that inasmuch as the same issues as mentioned in the indictment were raised and disposed of in an induction writ issued by Federal Judge Groscup, the packers were indicted by federal indictment here coached with illegal conspiracy yesterday again attacked the famous so-called "beet trust" process. A special plea in bar and an additional special plea in bar were filed by counsel for the packers. The nature of the special plea in bar was a surprise to the government officials although they were aware of what would be pleaded in the additional plea, the issuance of an induction by Judge Groscup. Bryan Adams Admiral Togo. Tokio, Oct. 24—Wm. J. Bryan was present at the reception yesterday in honor of Admiral Togro. The mayor introduced Mr. Bryan to the admiral. An exchange of cordial sentiments followed. The admiral was delighted at the unexpected presence of Mr. Bryan. It transpired today that Admiral Togro did not anchor even once in five months from the time of the big naval battle of August 10, 1944, till the Russian battleship Sevastopol was torpeded in the last days of December. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 24. Jerry Simpson died at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Death was caused by aneurysm of the aorta. Mr. Simpson had been in ill health for nearly a year. Six months ago he was contacted a physician who pronounced his case hopeless. Burial will take place at Wichita. The Masonic order will have charge of the funeral. Young Shepard is Guilty. Paris, Oct. 27. The ninth correctional tribune of the Sethne yesterday sentenced Elliot Pilot Shepard, son of the Col. Elliot K. Shepard of New York, and a grandson of the late W. H. Vanderbilt, to three months imprisonment and $210 and to pay $4,000 damages to the parents of Madeline Marduel, who was killed by Shepard's automobile at St. Ouen, April 24. The imprisonment part of the sentence will not be carried out. The world doesn't seem dull to a man who is al, on edge.

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Realy Cure Indigestion Instead of Merely Rolling Symptoms. There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time heartburn, pain and gas on the stomach and can smother nervous sensations and induce stomach pain. You can relieve stomach by giving it predigested food. But when you take your next meal all your trouble begins afresh. There is only one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and do away with the necessity for drugs and artificial foods. The best remedy ever found for this purpose is the one that was used by R. L. Cavelle, Shelby county, Tenn. "For years," he states, "I suffered greatly from indigestion. I tried many different remedies and some of them worked. But I never had trouble always came back. About six months ago I had an unusually severe attack, and while I tried everything I had ever heard of, I found that none of the remedies would reach the difficulty this time. "One day I read in a Memphis paper how Dr. William's Pink Pills had cured a Michigan woman, a sufferer from chronic arthritis, and the doctor then tried the same reumey and is proved just as successful in my case. I took only three boxes, and was cured. I have not had the slightest symptoms of arthritis because." The tonic treatment has a sound principle as its basis, and abundant success in actual use. Multitudes of cases that had defied all other remedies have been cured with it. How to Ease the pills actually make new blood and strike the root of all diseases caused by bad blood. They contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. Every dyspeptic should read, "How to Ease the Dr. William's Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y., for a free copy.

Independable Requisite In Compound- ing of Some Prescriptions. It is of course true that some proprietary medicines contain alcohol and nearly all liquid medicines prescribed by physicians contain it. No honest man will defend the sale of intoxicants under the guise of medicine; but every honest man should protest against a system of wholesale denunciation born of malice, or ignorance of pharmaceutical principles, and fostered by selfish interests. It is assumed that alcohol is the cause of intolerance; but there is a great difference between alcohol and medicine, and the alcohol could be found for use in the manufacture of medicines, its discoverer would render a great service to the profession of pharmacy and the science of medicine, for alcohol is a very expensive ingredient and a cheaper substitute would be gladly accepted. Unfortunately the word alcohol, in the minds of many people is associated exclusively with bar-rooms, drunkenness and all forms of degradation and vice. This is due to a lack of knowledge by the general public of the fact that an indispensable ingredient in drugs, and fluid extracts. All fluid extracts and tinctures on the druggists' shelves contain from 20 to 90 per cent of alcohol; and of all liquid medicines prescribed by physicians more than 75 per cent contain it in large proportions. Alcohol is required to preserve organic substances from deterioration and from freezing, and it is also required to dissolve organic substances not soluble in water, while it contributes to their preservation when dissolved. Diluted alcohol is largely employed in fluid extracts; and whenever a greater amount of alcohol is required (for extracting medicinal principles) the medicine usso of such a character as to preclude a large dosage; and for this reason preparations, even if containing 50 per cent or more of alcohol, are practically less intoxicating than beer. In such cases the character of the medicinal constituents is such as to absolutely forbid the taking of the medicine in any way except in very small doses and at state intervals only. To assume that only medicinal medicines are used as beverages is the verlest absurdity.—Exchange Courtship seems like a dream to the average girl, and after marriage she wakes up and finds it was.

You strongest THE CHANGE OF LIFE Danger and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. How many we men realize that the most critical part of man's existence is the change of life, and that the life of women as this time drew near is not without How many we men realize that the period in a woman's existence is the change of man's narcissity felt by women as this time draws near is not without change. If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to appleyage or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become severe and a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruction we men have a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dizziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, palpitations, weakness of the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquilude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of their man's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and it treats symptoms and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs. G. H. Hyland, of Chesterton, mrs. L. in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I had been suffering with fall of the knee and was in a change of life. My womb was badly swollen. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, and it was hard for me to help with for advice and commenced treatments with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed. My symptoms lighten, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman. For special advice regarding this improvement, I have written to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I am free and always helpful. CURES INDIGESTION When what you eat makes you uncomfortable it is doing you very little good beyond barely keeping you alive.
