Munyon's
Cold and Cough Cures
Promptly Efectual in Curing Grip, Colds
and Coughs and a Sure Preventive Of
Pneumonia and ALI Lung Diseases.

Colds lead to coughs coughs to pneu-
monia and consumption; therefore, it is all
important to check cold before it reaches
the lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will posi-
lively break cold inside Of twenty-four
hours If taken as soon as the cold manifests
itself. When the cold reaches the lungs or
bronchial tubes the Cough Cure should be
used alternately every half hour with the
Cold Cure The Cold Cure is guaranteed to
prevent pneumonia if used in the beginning
of a cold. Pneumonia or Inflammation OF
the lungs can be controlled by the use of
these two cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures bron-
chitis, tickling in the throat, hOarseness, loss
of voice, soreness of the chest, difficulty in
breathing, hacking cough and all pulmonary
diseases where the lungs are not too far
consumed or covered with tubercles.
If you are ailing step into the nearest drug
store and get 25c. vial of one of Munyon's S
Remedies. No matter what your disease, or
how many doctors have failed to cure, it will
give you relief.

PRINCE HENRYs FUNERAL.
The Body Now Resting Temporarily in
whippinaham Church.

The Body Now Resting Temporarily in
whippinabam Church.
CowEs, Feb. 6.-The funeral of Prince
Henry of Battenberg, who died on board
the British cruiser Blonde while en- route
from Cape Coast Castle for Madeira, took
place in Whippingham church, Osborne,
yesterday. Every ship in the harbor and
nearly every house in the town were fly
ing flags at half mast and displaying other
l4arks of respect for the dead.
The royal yacht Alberta, which brought
the body from Portsmouth, and upon
which the coffin remained over night, was
covered with an awning. A military guard
watched the remains throughout the night
The coffin was not opened, as the body had
not been embalmed owing TO the time
which elapsed between Prince Henry's
death and the arrival of his corpse at a
place where embalming facilities were
available.
Princess Beatrice and her children ar
rived at the wharf at 10 o'clock, and i'm
mediately went on board the Alberta.
They were followed soon afterwards by
the Duke of Connaught and the March
ioness of Lorne (Princess Louise), and at
noon the queen arrived from Osborne
House.
Directly after the queens arrival the
coffin, covered with wreaths, was taken
from the Alberta and placed upon gun
carriage, draped with the Union Jack.
The Prince of Wales and the royal family
in carriages took places ahead of the coffin
and the procession started. The various
military detachments followed the body,
and the cortegc slowly and solemnly took
its way to WhiDpin CHAM church. where
the services were conducted by the dean of
Winchester
While the body was on its way to Whip
bingham church the warships in the Road
stead fired minute guns the bells of all
tie churches were tollcd, the bands which
headed the troops played 'dcnd march, ="
and throughout there was the inccssant
rolling of muffled drums All the specta-
tors uncovered as the procession passed.
At the conclusion of the services the
coffin was temporarily plHced in sar-
cophagus, erected in the household pew,
and earth and flowers were cast upon it.

THE BOROUGH TICKET.

The candidates placed in nomination by
the Citizens party for High Constable and
Borough Auditor are both worthy and
capable. The outlool, was never brighter for
the head of the ticket
Edward Mason, the candidate for High
Constable, is an old soldier who has withstood
the Rebel bullets in manya a hot battle, and
he will come out of the present contest with
flying colors. Mr.. Mason is resident of the
town for many years and this is the first
time he has appeared before the people as a
candidate for public office, 1t has become an
upwrtten law in shenandoah that the
Office of High Constable properly belongs to
those of our citizens who are incapacitated
for hard labor. The nominee of the Citizens
party is worthy, and the voters will have no
reason to regret their choice in Mr.. Mason.

SOME Mahanoy City politicians do not take
kindly to the statement made in these
columns that Hon. Charles n. Brmmm was
likely to have opposition for denomination
next fall. and the American as their msuth-
piece feels moved to say that should Mr.
Denger enter the race he would soon he
taught a lesson. If we remember rightly the
American made somewhat similar assertion
when the Republicans Of the First district
had the tslnerity 20 bring forward the same
,lcptleman for state delegate, in opposition to
the expressed commands of Senator Coylc,
last summer. Tho result Of that contest,
however is now part of the political history
of this county, with which our Mahaney City
friends are familiar. II is understood that
the Senator aud his friends have already
arranged the better part of their slate hut
the name of Shenandoah Republican is
not written thereon Nevertheless, we think
The ticket will contain at least one repre-
sentative from the largest town in the
county; in fact, we are positive that such
will be the case.

If anything were needed to prove the
patriotism Of the people of these United
States, their national pride and their conf
dcnce in the stability and the integrity Of
their Government, this was furnished ycSter-
day by the bids for bonds opened at the
Treasury Department. The subscriptions
exceed those of any in the history of the
world. The aggregate exceeds half billion
dollars and is more than five times the
amount of the loan. The result is accepted
10y Treasury officials, leading men of Con
gresS, and representative tinancicrs as
establishing for all time the American people
may be depended upon to meet the full needs
of the Government without recourse to
foreign money markets. 1t is accepted as a
final precedent establishing popular loans as
the only means OF issuing bonds.

ough is William Reeves, candidate for Borough
Auditor. Like his colleague upon the ticket,
this is his first appearance in the political
arena, but he has labored faithfully and well
in the ranks of the party in the past. His
avocation in life is such that he is fitted for
the duties of the office to which he aspires,
and the preparation of the borough's finsn-
cal statement would be in good hands with
Mr.. Reeves as a member of the Board of
Auditors.
With two such candidates on the Citizens
borough ticket, victory is assured. Their
election, we believe, will be for the best
interests of the borough.

A Despondent Father Kills Six Persons and

A Despondent Father Kills Six Persons and
l Then Commits Suicide.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Richard Klattke, a
Lake View carpenter killed his fatherand
mother, his wife and three children Tues
day night, and then committed suicide.
The bodies of the murdered persons and
the suicide were discovered in the morn
ing in their little cottage at No 207 Der
seau avenue, two blocks from Cuyler Sta
tion, n suburb on the Chicago and North
western railroad.
The dead are: Richard Klattke, 3S years
Of age; Kate Klattke, his wife; John
Klattke, his father, aged 73; Wilhelmina
Klattke, his mother, aged II; Nina Klattke,
aged o; Anna Klattke, aged 8; Emma
Klattke, aged T.
The killing was done with n revolver.
In each case the bullet penetrated the
brain, and death evidently was instantan-
eous. Beside the body of Klattke lay a
revolver, and empty cartridge shells were
scattered about the rooms. A careful ex-
animation left no doubt that the murders
were deliberately planned and executed by
Klattke.
Klattke was despondent. His family
were cold and hungry. Since Christmas
he had been out of work and he ended his
troubles just as relief was in sight for the
man who discovered the tragedy had called
to inform Klattke that he had secured a
Job for him.
1t turns out that Klattke was an an
archist. He had been drinking prior to
the commission of his wholesale crime.
