One thing is certain: 1t will not do
to fool with a bad cold. No one can
tell what the end will be. Pneumo-

that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and

cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

TURN WATER ON THE JAIL.

serted except here and there stray
wanderer. 1t was then that the ladies
marched toward the jail.
AS they passed the dilapidated little
building that serves as a shelter for the
only hose cart in the town they stopped
long enough to open the door and wheel
the cart out. When they continued
their march they were dragging the
cart behind them. Before the Jail they
unreeled the hose, and although they
were little awkward in their move
ments they finally made connections
with a hydrant just across the street.
They took the nozzle of the hose and
held it as near as they could reach to
one of the little windows of the Jail.
The snoring of the tramps was the
only thing that could be heard before
the water began to splash against the
wall and then through the window and
on into the inside. IT was a cool night
and nearly all the women were without
gossamers, but they stood to their task
nobly. Slowly the water began to
rise on the cement floor. The little old
Jail seemed tc be built to hold water as
well as tramps. 1t reached the ankles
of the imprisoned men, and then it
crawled upward to u point just below
their knees.
Their shouts of Help. Help! We
are drowning.". was. heard for blocks,
but the women paid no attention. They
still grimly held the nozzle of the old
hose to the window, and it looked for
awhile as If the tramps were doomed
unless the supply of city water gave
out, but it was not the intention of the
women 10 go that far. They only want
ed to give the tramps a good bath.
When the water in the Jail reached q
depth of two feet the cries Of the men
became so loud that people in the neigh
borhood rushed to see what caused the
trouble.
"We are only giving the tramps Il
BATH" the women said, and the men
thought it was good enough for the
imprisoned men. The water was shut
off when the crowd got large and the
women went home. Officers stood
around and let the tramps paddle in the
water until they promised by all that
was good and holy they would leave
town the minute they escaped from the
jail. Then they were released.

POLITICAL

Mayor Elmendorf announced today
that he has completed his list of candi-
dates and the ticket would be made
public in a few days. He refuses,
however. to furnish any information
about it for publication.
1t it understood Marshal Druse was
offered the position of collector on
this ticket, which would strengthen
it materially. but he declined.
1t was current street rumOr today
that Judge Callaghan had placed City
Attorney Minor on his ticket for city
attorney, City Assessor Cunningham
for assessor, and Max SutOr
for collector.
1t was also said that Judge Levy
had slated Street Commissioner
Crowther for city marshal and Fritz.
RuSsi for street commissioner.
\ good many people are under the
impression that a fee of ten cents is
eXacted by City Registrar Shardein
for registering voters. This rumOr
gained currency several days ago. and
is having the effect of keeping voters
away from the registry office in the
city hall. 1t is too silly for denial,
but. of course, it is not true and the
Light is requested to publish this de-
NAL. The registration costs nothing
to the voter.
