Miller, Itasea County Official, Arrested For Embezzlement. Grand Rapids Indepéndent: C. C. Miller, for six years treas- urer of Itasca county,was arrest- ed on Wednesday afternoon on charge of embezzlement of county funds, the specific sum named in the warrant being $488.13. J. T, O’Connell; F. A. King, and A. B. Clair being his sureties. Affairs in the treasurer’s office are in bad shape, the work being greatly be- hind, so far indeed|| that taxes paid in May are not yet entered, and we are informed that it will require two weeks hard work to put them in shape that the proper checking can be done, and the size of the shortage which seems to exist discovered. Deputy Public Examiner John- son came up on Wednesday and spent some time in the treasur- er’s office returning on Thursday but what the result of his investi- gation was we were unable to learn. Mr. Miller’s multitude of friends will be deeply grieved to learn of the serious pcsition he is in, but to the general public it will scarce be in the nature of a surprise that something is wrong in the treasurer’s office as indications have pointed that way for quite a while, Mr, Miller’s hearing has heen arranged for January 23. Do Not Suppress a Cough. When you have a cough do not try to suppress it, but remove the cause. The.cough is only a symptom of some “disease, and the disease is what you should cure, then the cough will stop it- self. The Rost common cause of coughing is a cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough and preparatlons contmnmv chloroform, opium, etc., are used for that purpose, but r.hey do not cure the cold. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the cough, but relieves it by removing from the throat and lungs the mucus which obstructed the breathing and allaying the irritation and tickling in the throat. It also opens the secretions and effectu- ally and permanently cures the cold as well as the cough. For [sale by Barker’s Drug store. LIKES HIS WORK |! IN ARIZONA Rev. J. F.
