A QUESTION WELL ANSWERED.
In What Respect is Chamberlain's COugl
Remedy Better Than Any Others
WE WILL TELL YOU.

It is the only remedy that will liquefy the
tough, tenacious mucus and render it easy
to expectorate.
1t is the only remedy that will cause the
expulsion of mucus from the air cells of the
lungs.
1t is the only remedy that will counteract
the effect of severe cold, and greatly miti-
gate if not effectually cure the cold within
one days time. To do this it must be used
as soon as the first symptoms of the cold ap-
pear.
1t has been clearly shown in thousands of
instances, that Cham berlain's Cough Rem
edy will cure a severe cold in less time than
any other treatment.
1t is the only remedy that will invariably
prevent Group, which makes it one of the
most valuable medicines yet discovered in
this or any other country.
1t is the only remedy that has cured
thousands of cases of Group without single
failure.
1t is the only remedy that will prevent all
dangerous consequences from whooping
cough.
1t is pleasant and safe to take. There is
not the least danger in giving it to children
in large and frequent doses. which are al
ways required in cases of Group aud some
times for whooping cough.
1t is put up in large bottles for the price.
Many persons who have used it for years
and know from experience its true value,
say that so cent bottle of Chamberlain's s
Cough Remedy will go further toward cur
ing severe colds and do more real good than
81 bottle of any other cough medicine they
have ever used.

HEARINGS AFTER DARK.
Judge White Holds That Aldermen Should
stick to Business Hours.

stick to Business Hours.
Judge White filed an opinion yesterday in the
matter of the petition of E. P. Hesser, J. P.
Young and NJ. w. Wishart to have their bonds
that were declared forfeited by Alderman Nc.
Nulty, set aside and declared null and void.
The petitioners were sued before the Alder
man for acting as detectives. and gave bond for
a hearing. When the time came for that it was
postponed for a week. Before the time for the
hearing the defendants called on the Alderman
to have it put off from So'clock in the evening
until the following morning. He was not at
his Office and they left a note for him but sub
sequently met him on the street and arranged
it with him to have the hearing in the morning
The bail given for the original time however
was forfeited. In his opinion Judge White
saws:
''The case shows a very singular proceeding
on the part of the Alderman from beginning to
end
ut is wholly unusual and wholly unjust
except in extreme cases, to fix a hearing at s
O'Clock at night. The hearing should be during
the business part of the day. Business men
should not be dragged from their homes to at
tend hearings trifiing case at or 8 O'Clock
at night. Fixing that hour for the hearing in
this case against the remonstrance of the ac-
cused, was oppressive. Under the facts and
circumstances in the case it is wrong on
pressive and illegal to attempt to collect the
amount of the forfeited recognizance 1t was
superse ded and supplied by the recorpizance
taken previously. The Alderman should have
remitted the forfeiture"
In conclusion he declares the bond null and
void.
