recently married at Montreal to one OF
the prominent business men of that city.
Among her wedding presents were several
fine diamonds. She already had a large
amount of jewelry. When the couple
reached Chicago the satchel containing
the jewelrY was stolen by a sneak thief
at the depot. The police we're notified
and began asearch for the missing jewelrY.
Last night they were found hidden In an
obscure corner of Charles Pope's malt
hause at Schiller and State streets. The
diamonds were discovered by the merest
accident. Superintendent Higgins of
the malt house vas walkiog past Pope's
brewery when he happened to glance
down a veniillating chute, where he saw
a big satchel. He picked it up and car
ried it into the Office and opened and
found in it a case containing several hun
dred dollars in currency and an array OF
gems that daZzled his eyes. He notified
the police and the satchel was returned TO
Mrs. Benson, who suitably rewarded the
finder. The police think that the thief,
tearing pursuit. dropped the diamonds il
the chute. intending to return for them.

first symptom is hoarseness; then the child
appears to have taken cold or a cold may
have accompanied the hoarseness from the
start. Alter that a peculiar rough cough

vent the attack. Even after the rough
cough has appeared. the disease may be
prevented by using the remedy as directed.

A ROORBACK.

The Cresco Republican with its
last issue prior to the election prefers
charges against John l.. Bowman,
democratic candidate for Clerk,
which, If true, and the Republican
was conducting an honorable cam
paign, would have been made inne-
diately after Mr.. Bowman's nomina-
tion in September. That it has de-
layed to the last moment before max
ing its damaging statement is all the
evidence needed to establish its char
acter as a genuine canard and roor-
back OF the ancient hue and false
without doubt in every essential
feature.
Men who have just and true ac-
cusation impeaching the integrity Of
a candidate for public favor don't de-
lay about acquainting the public Of
it, as has been done in this case. For
more than three weeks whispered mt
terances from the same source have
come to our ears, making substan.
TALLY the charges now repeated in
the Republican. An investigation OF
the charges convinced US they were
unworthy Of notice. 1t was with held
lest an earlier publication would in
sure its refutation. Honest journal
ism and worthy candidates don't re-
sort to any such disreputable roor-
backs on the eve Of election. Its
publication at this late day Is simply
evidence of fraud. The statements
Of DR.. Overfield and Of ii. I. Reed
both reliable republicans but men
who scorn a mean advantage, brands
the Republican article with its true
character.
In regard to the Bowman assign
,nent, everything pertaining thereto
is on record at the Clerks Office in
Cresco can be examined by any per
son interested or who wishes to know
the truth about it, and there is moth
ing that taints it with dishonesty.
