Danger in a Cold Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not tor a moment imagina that colds are not dangerous. Not ouly pneu- monta. but also the Infectlous disoases such as diphtheria and scarlet fover start with a cold. The cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs of these dlseases. Take our advice—cure your cold while you ean. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy by its remarkable cures of colds has become a staple article of trade and commerce.

PER ANNUM —_—_— DROWNED NEAR NEWPORT Son of Congressman Steenerson of Minnesota Loses His Life. Newport, R. I, Feb. 1 .—Benjamin Steenerson, aged twenty-seven, son of Halvor Steenerson, congressman from Minnesota, was drowned in Nar- ragansett bay, near here. A man named John McIntosh, a companion of Steenerson, also was drowned. Suspicion that there might have been foul play in connection with the drowning was removed, so far as the Newport police were concerned, by the story told by Captain F. W. Rich and crew of the tug and the other men aboard the tug at the time the marines were drowned. The witnesses agreed in relating that the marines were in the pilot -house and after a time McIntosh said he was going aft to get something to eat. He went below, but not to the galley end and Wwas never seen again. ‘When McIntosh's absence was dis- covered Steenerson hurried all over the boat in search for him and re- turned to the pilot house in a rather peculiar mood. According to Captain Rich and others in the house Steener- son talked wildly about the loss of his companion, then took off his coat and suddenly stepped to the deck and jumped overboard. PLUNGES INTO RESTAURANT Crazed Horse Injures Several sons, One Tatally. New York, Feb. 1 —Crazed by an attack of “blind staggers” a street rallway horse plunged into Michael Sameth'’s cafe and restaurant on Hast Houston street and before he was caught and shot injured half a dozen persons, one possibly fatally. The in- terior of the place was wrecked and there was a panic among the numer- ous patrons seated at the tables. In the confusion several were knocked down and injured. The most serious- ly hurt was Aaron Rissner, seventy years old, who was passing from the cafe when the horse charged the storm door. He was knocked to the pavement, seriously bruised and in- jured internally to such an extent that he was unconscious when taken to Bellevue hospital. Per- Report on Mining Accidents. Paris, Feb. 1 .—The commission sent by the French government to the TUnited States to investigate mining disasters has roturned and made its report. It declares that the precau- tions to prevent gas explosions in mines and otherwise safeguard the lives of miners are less effective in the United States than in France. Why He Concealed His Calling, “I hope,” said the young man, “that partial concealment of the truth is no Me. If it is, I am telling a whopper right now, and I'm a divinity student too. That is what I am lying about. I don’t tell that I am studying theol- ogy. If I did I wouldn’t find it so easy to hold this job. I'm one of the down-on-his-luck students who has to work his way through college. One of the first things I learned when I be- gan to look for a position was that the average employer of labor has no use for the divinity student. Somehow ev- ery man engaged in business holds the opinion that a young fellow who is studying for the ministry lacks back- bone, and he is afraid to trust him with important duties. “After I had ingenuously explained my circumstances to about twoscore of employers and had been turned down by all of them I got wise. I am work- ing now. The boss doesn’t know I am pegging away nlghts on church his- tory. If he did the chances are he'd discharge me, not because he has any grudge against parsons or church his- tory, but because he, llke everybody else, would think I hadn’t pluck enough to earn my salary.”—New York Times. Staggered Webster. In the somewhat famous case of Mrs. Bodgen’s will, which was tried in the Massachusetts supreme court many years ago, Daniel Webster ap- peared as counselor for the appellant. Mrs. Greenough, wife of the Rev. Wil- lam Greenough of West Newton, was & very self possessed witness. Not- withstanding Mr. Webster's repeated efforts to disconcert her she pursued the even ténor of her way until Web- ster, becoming quite fearful of the re- sult, arose, apparently In great agi- tation, and, drawing out his large snuffbox, thrust his thumb and finger to the very bottom and, carrying a deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up with gusto, and then, extracting from his pocket a very large handkerchief, he blew his nose with a report that rang distinct and loud through the crowded hall. He then asked, “Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman?” “I cannot give you full information as to that, sir. She had one very dirty trick,” replied the witness. “What was that, madam?” “Bhe took snuff.” Most Popular of Pictures. The best known picture in the world, it has been said, is Vandyke's portrait of James.II. of England as an Infant, popularly known as Baby Stuart. Two mlllion copies of it are said to be in American homes, and it is equally popular in England and continental Eu- rope. This is not because it is a por- trait of a child who became king, but because it is a masterly plece of in- fant portraiture. The plump, round cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by a tight fiting cap, appeal to every lov- er of children. The figure with which the world 1s Tamillar T8 the central one in a group of the eldest three children of Charles 1. painted In 1635, when the baby, afterward known as the "Duke of York, was only two years old and barely able to stand alone.—Youth's Companion. She Told Him a Lie. . He had been dining well, but not too wisely, and the next morning his con- science as well as his head smote him pretty considerably. Yet he managed to struggle down to breakfast and to make an attempt to toy with the dainty Y and fempting dishes which his dear 1ft- tle wife had thoughtfully provided. “Cecil,” sald his better half gently a8 she watched his Ineffectual endeav- ors to do justice to the matutinal re- past, “I am afrald that I told you a lle yesterday, and I want you to. for- glve me, dear.” “A lie?” he asked wonderingly. “Yes. As you left the house you will remember I sald -to you, ‘Youll be home early, darling? Well, it wasn’t true!” And he went out a sadder and wiser Fiscal Year Ending FINANCIAL STATEMENT —oF—— BELTRAMI COUNTY MINNESOTA -—FOR THE— - December 3ist, 1907 Prepared by JOHN WILMANN County Auditor.

Of the clvic dig- nitaries’ position in private life he knew nothing.: Journeying to the town in question, he hired a cab at the rail- way station and requested the jehu to take him to Councilor Bisset's, the treasurer. The councilor was found Clerk of Judge of Probate. m’ms bplacksmith's shop snoelng ‘a horse. “T'll see somebody of more impor- tance than this, anyhow,” said the can- didate to himself, and, turning to the driver, he said, “Drive me to Councilor Malitland’s office.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local joiner's shop. This was worse even than the smithy, and fa despair he ejaculated: “Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir,”” replied the cabman. The answer staggered the candidate, !He auletly paild his fare and disap- arex; revoived to T his fate Tn &h‘ huands without prejudicing them fn any way In his favor. — London Standard.
