Danger ina Cold Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from thom without treatment of any kind, do not for & moment maging that colds are not dangerous. Not only pneu- monia, but also the infectious diseases such as diphtherla and scarlot fover start with a cold. The cold prepares the system for the ceception and development of the germs of these diseases. Take our advice—eure your cold while you can.

Dean Greene of the Harvard medical school asserts that western physicians make a vulgar and os- tentatious display of their diplomas by hanging them in their office.

Gambetta’s Lost Eye. Gambetta, the French patriot, had but one eye. How he came to lose the other in childhood is told by a writer: “It appears that Gambetta had such a dislike to golng to school that he said to his father that unless he were taken from school he would poke one of his eyes out. His father insisted on his re- maining on at school, whereupon Gam- betta did as he had threatened to do, and on his father remonstrating with him he said that if his father sent him back again to school he would poke the other eye out. Such a determined character was he that his father had finally to give way to him.” He Deserved the Watch. A little boy who had been promised a watch in a too indefinite future chowed a tendency to revert to the subject with a frequency which finally overcame the patience of his irate fa- ther. “If you say ‘watch’ again in my presence I'll thrash you!” was the ulti- matum. Next morning at prayers, when each member of the family offered a Bible verse, the boy demurely gave his ps he fixed his parent with his eye and Fepeated, “What I say unto you 1 say noto all, Watch!"

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.—The su- preme court has caused a sensation by knocking out all the indictments against the bridge trust in Ohio. The indictments, which were brought in Erie county and charged violation of the antitrust laws, were held to be defective by the supreme court in affirming the decision of the Erie county circuit court in the Hughes and Webster cases. . The indictments are held to be {l- legal on the grounds of duplicity and indefiniteness in that they simply charge that the parties were engaged in a comspiracy in restraint of trade in March, 1903, to March, 1908, with- out stating definite times of violation of the anti-trust laws and because the laws make each day’s violation a sep- arate offense and hence the basis of a separate indictment. The King Bridge company, the Mas- sillon Bridge company, Bellefontaine Bridge and Iron company, Variety Iron ‘Works company, Mount Vernon Bridge company of Columbus, Brackett Bridge company and the Canton Bridge com- pany were indicted in March, 1906, in Erie county, on a charge of engaging in a trust conspiracy from March 10, 1903, to March 9, 1906. The common pleas court overruled all motions to quash and demurrers based on duplicity and indefiniteness of the indictments and all the de- fendants were convicted. Their cases were carried to the circuit court and later the Canton Bridge company and the Massillon Bridge company with- drew their petitions in error and paid the fines imposed. The case was then taken to the cir- cuit court, which reversed the con- victions in the common pleas court. The case was then taken to the su- preme court. COUNT BONI FINED $20. Victim of His Attack Awarded Twenty Cents Damages. Paris, Feb. 1 .—Count Boni de Cas- tellane, the divorced husband of Anna Gould of New York, was found guilty by the correctional court of criminal assault and battery on Prince Helie de Sagan, his cousin, and fined $20. The prince was awarded 20 cents damages. The encounter between Count Boni de Castellane and Prince IHelle de Sagan, which resulted in the prince preferring charges against his cousin, took place Jan. 2 in front of the Church of St. Pierre de Chaillot, where a special memorial service had been celebrated in memory of Lady Stanley Errington, a relative of both of the fighters. The service had just ended and Count Boni and Prince Helie met on the steps. Words -were exchanged and then the two men came to blows and Count Boni swore at his cousin and spat in his face. The Prince de Sagan took the mat- ter to court and made charges ‘against Count Boni de Castellane and his brother, Count Jean. The charge against Count Jean was dismissed. The cause of the fight is said to have been because Prince Helie was paying attention to Madame Gould and this is supposed to have provoked Count Boni to the assault. RENEWS RECOMMENDATION Governor Hughes Asks Removal of Superintendent Kelsey. Albany, N. Y., Feb. 1 '.—Governor Hughes renewed to the senate his recommendation of last year that Otto Kelsey be removed from the office of state superintendent of insurance on the ground of incompetency. Last year the senate refused, by a vote of 27 to 24, to remove Superintendent Kelsey. Governor Hughes bases his renewal of the recommendaticn upon the re- port of Matthew C. Fleming, the gov- ernor's special commissioner, who re- cently investigated the insurance de- partment and transmitted with his message a copy of Mr. Fleming's re- port. On motion of Senator Raines the message, without comment, was unan- imously ordered printed and “for the present to lie on the table.” Dynamite Partly Wrecks House. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. .'—Black Hand operators exploded a stick of dynamite under the porch of the home of Vincenzo Manelli and blew the en- tire side of the building into frag- ments and endangered the lives of Manelli's and two other families that ‘Occupy the house. Several persons in the house were bruised by the flying debris. Serious Charges Against Jurist. Richmond, Va., Feb. 1 .—The com- mittee of courts of justice of the house has reported in favor of an investiga- tlon of the charges against Judge Blackstone of the Eleventh circuit and the charges were read in the house. They include gross immorality, neg- lect of duty, incompetency and intoxi- cation on the bench. 4 MODEL CAMPS IN PARK. Recommendation of Superintendent at Yellowstone. Washington, Feb. 1.—General §. B. M. Young, U. 8. A, retired, who is superintendent of the Yellowstone Na- tional park, has recommended that the garrison at Fort Yellowstone be increased to four troops of cavalry of 100 men each—the increase to be per- manent. General Young wants to es- tablish two model camps of one troop each, one in the Fire Hole geyser basin and the other at the Yellow- stone lake outlet, and the other two troops to be kept at headquarters for discipline and instruction. Many vis- itors in the park during the tourist season have never seen United States soldiers in garrison or camp and Gen- eral Young thinks it desirable to give such an object lesson in the manner that will court respect and admira- tion for the regulars. He thinks the enlisted men should remain as a per- manent guard and that they should receive foreign service pay. FOR VIOLATING INJUNCTION Officers of New York Typographical Union Sent to Jail. New York, Feb. 1..—President Pat- rick H. McCormick of the local Typo- graphical union, known as “Big Six,” and George W. Jackson and Vincent J. Costello, union organizers, were fined $250 each and sentenced to twenty days’ imprisonment for diso- bedience of an injunction obtained by the Typothetae of New York in 1906. Thomas Bennett and William §. An- derson were fined $100 on the same charge. Sentence was imposed by Justice Bischoff in the supreme court. Oldest White Woman in World. Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 1}.—At the great age of 132 Mrs. L. Kilcrease, living at Blue Mill, near here, has just celebrated her birthday. It is believed she is the oldest white per- son in the world. She was born Feb. 10, 1776, In Halifax county, N. C., and lived there 100 years before she came with her family to Texas. Her daugh- ter, aged ninety-eight, and her graud- aughter, aged sixty-three, live with er. Strike Situation in Alaska. Fairbanks, Alaska, Feb. 1 .—United States Marshal Perry has the strike situation well in hand. All claims for- merly nonunion are working on the open shop basis with a full quota. The Fairbenks-Valdez trail is clear of strikers and the Miners’ union guar- antees no further molestation of trav- elers. STRIKE AGITATION LEGAL. Injunction Against Engineers’ Union Dissolved. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 1 —Judge Mec- Lemore has dissolved the injunction obtained in his court some time ago by the Luckenbach Towing company of Breoklyn, N. Y., by which the Nor- folk Marine Engineers’ union, its offi- cers and members, were restrained from interfering with the employes on Luckenbach tugs in an effort to bring on an engineers’ strike. Judge McLemore ruled that no in- junction could lie wuntil violence against the plaintiffs or their prop- erty was attempted by the defendants and that members of the Engineers’ union were within their rights in en- deavoring by argument or other fair means to have employes of the plain- tiffs quit their employment. SITUATION MORE PACIFIC. Russia Abandons Dispatch of Soldiers to Persian Frontier. St. Petersburg, Feb. 1 .—The with- drawal of the Turkish troops from the Persian territory to the west of Tabris, as well as the more concilia- tory spirit shown at Constantinople, is regarded here as obviating the ne- cessity, for the present, of taking fur- ther precautionary measures on the Turkish and Persian frontiers. The dispatch of troops from the interior of Russia to the Caucasus will be aban- doned pending- further developments. Overdue Steamer 8ighted. New York, Feb. i1'—The British steamer Eagle Point, which has been thirty days en route from London for Philadelphia, has been sighted 270 miles east-southeast of Sandy Hook by the steamer Vaderland. The Eagle Point was last spoken on Jan. 25, when her captain reported that the steamer’s shaft was broken. Insur- ance rates on the vessel have been Increased and some alarm for her safety has prevailed among shipping men. P Bachelor Seal Skin. “This skin,” said the furrier, “came from a young seal bachelor, a youth ignorant of love and of life.” . “How do you know?” the lady asked. “By its fineness, its perfection,” he replied. “The pile, you will note, is Uke close cut velvet. Only bachelor seal skins have such a pile. “The bachelor seal” he went on, “has a rather sad life. The big bull seals in the seal islands have each a household of fifteen or twenty wives, but the young bachelors must herd by themselves. Let one of them at- tempt to marr; and straightway a bull slays him. Not till he is big enough to fight and conquer a bull—not till he Is fourteen or fifteen years old—can he know the delight of settling down in a home of his own. “He leads a hard, ascetic, celibate life, only in the end as like as not to make a lady a very fine coat. All the very fine coats, I repeat, are made from the unhappy bachelor seals.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. Jack Tar and the Actor. A famous Irish actor of the elght- eenth century named John Moody early in life, before he went on the stage, had been to Jamaica and work- ed his passage home as a sailor before the mast. One night some time after he had been engaged at Drury Lane when he was acting Stephano in “The Tempest” a sailor in the front row of the pit got up and, standing upon the seat, hallooed out, “What cheer, Jack Moody—what cheer, messmate?” This unexpected address rather as- tonished the audience. Moody, how- ever, stepped forward and, recognizing the man, called out: “Tom Hullett, keep your jawking tacks aboard. Don’t disturb the crew and passengers. When the show is over make sail for the stage door, and we'll finish the evening over a jug of punch. But till then, Tom, keep your locker shut.” Moody, it is related, was as good as his word. —Cornhill Magazine. CLEARS UP MYSTERY, Butte Man Confesses to Attempt te Wreck Trains. Butte, Mont., Feb. 13.—The mystery which surrounded the attempts to wreck the Oregon Short Line-trains Monday was cleared up when Pat Ger- don, aged twenty-four, of Butte, one of the suspects, broke down and cop- fessed. He admitted throwing the switch which derailed part of the freight train and also confessed that he put the ties on the track in front of the southbound passenger train. He denies having placed the ties on the track in front of the incoming train. Gordon claims he was drunk at the time and did not realize what he was doing. He denies having any grudge against the road, although he admits! having a quarrel with a former 890-| tion boss, who he seys. “sicked” dogh| afier cows that Gordon was milking. MORSE AGAIN INDICTED. Fedoral Grand Jury Returns True Bills Against Banker. New York, Feb. 13.—It has been learned that the federal grand jury; which i investigating the affairs of certain national banks, has voted five indictments. ‘Three of these indiot- ments, it was authoritatiyely stated, make charges against Charles W. Merse and.a former official of the Na- tlonal Bank of North America for over-certification and misapplication of funds. Two of those voted for, it is said, were against C. W. Morse, one on each charge and the other against his associate. Mr. Morse, who is due to arrive here on the steamer Btruria from Liverpool next Saturday, was indioted Monday by the New York county grand jury, which is also inquiring in- to the recent financial transactions among the banks of this city. COMMISSION POWERLESS. Cannot Suspend Operation of the Nine-Hour Law. ‘Washington, Feb. 13.—An*important announcement was made by the inter- state commerce commission respect- ing its attitude toward the request re- cently made by the operating vice presidents of the railroads of the United States that the so-called nine- hour law, relating to the employment of train dispatchers, telegraph opera- tors and tower men, be suspended by the commission until such time as the law could be amended to meet the de- sires of all concerned. The commis- sion holds in brief that it has no au- thority to extend the time or suspend the operation of the law except in a particular case or cases in which a hearing has been held and good cause shown for the extension asked. Root Before Senate Committee. Washington, Feb. 13.—Secretary Root appeared before the senate com- mittee on foreign relations to explain provisions of the diplomatic and con- sular bill, incidentally advocating the establishment of permanent quarters for American diplomatic representa- tives in foreign capitals.

The earth has a shadow, but very few ever see it, except in eclipses of the moon, or else few recognize it when they see it. Nevertheless, many of us have noticed on fine, cloudless evenings in summer shortly before sunset a rosy pink arc on the horizon opposite the sun, with abluish gray segment under it. As the sun .sinks the arc rises until it attains the zenith and even passes it. This is the shad- ow of the earth. G They Were Good Eaters. One day Di. Norman McLeod, who was a large and healthy man, and one of his burly elders went to pay a visit to a certain Mrs. MacLaren of the. congregation who lived over the Scotch hills. She was a frugal woman, but since she knew that a call from these two meant that they would stay to supper, too, she determined that they phould have the best in the house. So she plled the table with jellies and jam and preserves and shortbread and all the delicacles of the season, and, the Journey having been long, they partook unsparingly, and after the meal the elder sald to ber: “Mrs. MacLaren, were you at the kirk Sunday?” “QOh, aye,” she sald, “I was.” “And what did you think of the treatment of the miracle?” The ser- mon had been ou the loaves and fishes. “I thought it was good,’ said Mrs. MacLaren. “And what iz your ldea on the sub- Jject, Mrs. MacLaren?” persisted the minister. “Losh,” said their hostess suddenly, “I'm thinkin' timt if you and the elder had bin in the congregation there wadna bin twelve Laskets of frag- ments for the Cisciples to gather up!” Maintaining His Argument. One night at Brooks’ when Coke was. present Fox, in allusion to something that had been said, made a very dis- paraging remark about government powder. Adam, uattorney general to the Prince of Wales, who heard it, con- sidered it a personal reflection and sent Fox a challenge. At the time ap- pointed Fox went out and took his sta- tion, standing full face to his adver- sary. [Fitzgerald pointed out to him that he ought to stand sideways. *“What does it matter?” protested Fox. “I am as thick oue way as the other!” ‘The signal to fire was given. Adam fired, but Fox did not. His seconds, greatly excited, told him that he must fire. “I'll be — if I do!” said Fox. *‘t have no quarrel.” Whereupon the two adversaries advanced to shake bhands. “Adam,” said Fox complacent- 1y, “you’d have killed me if it hadn’t been for the badness of government powder.”—London Beliman. The Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It bas been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer mann . tured sausages, but this prehist mixture had nothing in common wi.l our modern product. The ancient s: cailed sausage was composed of tL same materials which enter into th. makeup of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloyed in the stomachs of goats. It was not until the tenth cen- tury that sausage made of hashed pork became known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks 1o the introdue- tion into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Iraukfort and Strassburg acq d a universal repu- tation. Insect Contrivance. As Dr. Darwin was walking one day in his garden he perceived a wasp upon the gravel walk with a large fly nearly as big as itself which it had caught. Kneeling down, he distinctly saw it cut off the head and abdomen and then, taking up with its feet the OF The interest created in leading cities during the past year by young Mr. Cooper with his new preparation, is largely accounted for by a peculiar quality possessed by this medicine, which he calls his New Discovery. Mr. Cooper believes that internal parasites, or tapeworms, are respon- sible for much ill health, and it is an undoubted fact that his medicine has expelled immense numbers of these creatures in various cities visited by him. The young man also believes that stomach trouble is the main cause of all ill health. He claims that few can have poor health with a good di- gestion. He further claims that his New Discovery medicine does nothing but tone up the stomach, yet it not only expels the parasites, but relieves many other ailments not as a rule as- sociated with stomach trouble. Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car- roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many relieved of a large parasite by Mr. Cooper’s preparation during his stay in that city. In speaking of the mat- ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said: “My child Jessie, who is fourteen years old, has been suffering with this trouble for over seven years. Until this morning we did not know what Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread A tention by Expelling Internal Parasites. PECULIAR PROPERTIES NEW MEDICINE the trouble was., She was extremely nervous; the least little thing would upset her; her tongue was coated, and at times she would have a good ap- petite, then again could not bear the sight of food; she was restless at night, had a bad breath, especially when she got up of mornings. We tried everything to relieve her, but met with no success. We were just on the point of giving up trying any- thing else, when we began to read of Cooper’s New Discovery. Several days ago we purchased this medicine. Jes- sie has been using it regularly, and this morning this parasite .left her system. I don’t wonder that she has always felt bad, and nothing we would give her seemed to relieve her. Now that she is relieved of this tapeworm I feel sure that she will grow better each day, and enjoy perfect health. Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a thousand times more than you charge for it. I know of a number of people troubled the same way as Jessie has been, and I certainly expect to tell them personally to try your medicine.” We would advise anyone who has been troubled for some time with gen- eral poor health to try this great med- icine, We are agent for it in this city. | —E.
