A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use with
 out Failure.


 out Failure.
 The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon. as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in maDy thou sands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of single in- stance in which it has not proved efectual. No other preparation can show such record-twenty-five years constant use without a failure. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

GENERAL LAYTON KILLED.
4 Brave Soldier, whose Life was Worth
 More than All the Philippines.

MANILA, Dec. 19.-General Henry ". Lawton has been shot and killed at San Mateo. He was standing in front of his troops and was shot in the breast and died instantly.
 General Lawton left home on Mon- day night, having returned from his northern operations on Saturday, to lead an expedition through Mariquina valley, which had been an insurgent stronghold throughout the WAT. The valley has several times been invaded, but never held by the Americans. Gen eral Geronimo was supposed to have tlere the last organized force north Of Manila, and General Otis wished to garrison Mariquina.
 The night was one of the worst of the season, terrific rain had begun and is still continuing. Accompanied by his staff and troop of the Fourth cavalry, General Lawton set out at g o'clock in advance of the main force, consisting of the Eleventh cavalry and one battalion each of the twentieth and twenty-seventh infantry, which started from La Loma at midnight. With Q small escort he led the way through an almost painless country, distance of eleven miles over hills and through canebrake and deep mud, the horses climbing rocks and sliding down hills. Before daybreak the command had reached the head of the valley.
 San Mateo was attacked at o'clock, and for three hours fight ensued. This resulted in but few casualties on the American side, apart from the death of General Lawton, but the at tack was difficult because of the natu- ral defenses of the town. General Lawton was walking along the firing line within three hundred yards of small group of sharpshooters in a trench, conspicuous in big white hel- met lie always wore, and light yell low rain-eoat. He was also easily dis tinguishable because of his command ing stature. The sharpshooters made several close shots which clipped the grass near by. His staff officer called General Lawton's attention to the danger which he was in, but lie only laughed, with his usual contempt for bullets.
 Suddenly he exclaimed: q am shotw He clasped his hands in desperate effort to stand erect and fell into the arms of a staff officer. orderlies rushed across the field for surgeons, who dashed up immediately, but their efforts were useless. The body was taken to clump of bushes and laid on stretcher, the familiar white hel- met covering the face of tue dead gen eral. Almost at this moment the cheers of the American troops rushing into San Mateo were mingled with rife volIeys.
 After the fight six stalwart cavalry men forded the river to the town, carrying the litter on their shoulders, the staff preceding with the colors and cavalry escort following. The troops filed bareheaded through building where the body was laid, and many  tear fell from the eyes of men who had long followed the intrepid Lawton. The entire command was stricken with grief as though each man had suffered personal loss. Owing to the condi- tion of the country, which is impass- able, so far as vehicles are concerned, the remains could not be brought to Manila to-day Col. Lockett took com mand when General Lawton fell.

 of Making 1t an Issue.
 WHEELING, ". ", Dec. 1s.-A Ne braska congressman who has been wis., ting in this city and who is near personal friend of William J. Bryan stated to the party leaders here that Bryan was not in favor of making sil- yer an issue in the next election, and that Gen. Warmers statement was made with Bryan's consent. as feel CT. He believed the rapid increase in the production of gold had obyiated the necessity for the free coinage of silver. The party, said he, had never advocated the free coinage of silver for the purpose of simply having the white metal coined, but because they believed that large volume of money was needed. At the time there was no indication of any great incr ease in tine production ofgold.

Roland Reeds Illness.

New York, Dec. 29.-Roland Reed, the
actor, who was operated on Tuesday last
at st. Luke's hospital, was reported to
be resting quietly last night, with little
change III his cc-ldition for better or
worse. In some way Mr.. Reed learned
that his illness vas considered serious
and it worried him so that since then
every effort has been made to keep his
real condition 10 only from him, but
also from the public.
There is some doubt as to whether or
not he was operated upon for cancer, as
reported. His trouble was originally an
nounced Is appendicitis n later as
cancer OF the stomach and it was said
that half of his stomach was removed and
that he would not be able to survive the
operation very long.
His daughter has arrived and is con-
stantly at his bedside with her mother.
Many flowers n messages of sympathy
arrive daily. hut all but a few of the
flowers are kept away from the sick room.
1t is feared that if the messages Were
read to him they might alarm him.
While he is not expected to live every
thing possible is being dona for him.

Will Patrol the Atlantic.

New York, Dec. ga special to the
World from Halifax. N. S., says: Great
Britain is apparently preparing to patrol
the Atlantic. The report that the larger
part of the British North American and
West Indies squadron have received
orders concerning the alleged violation
of the. neutrality laws by vessels leaving
American ports with ~cOntraband of war
seems 70 be we'll ounded. One of the
officials of the navy here, when asked
by a reporter if the wal vessels would
be dispatched from the North American
SQUADRON, declared hat he knew for an
absolute certainty that communications
touching mon the matter had been ex-
changed between Halifax and the COM
inander Of the fleet at the West Indies.
Arrangements are being made. he said,
for the disDatc of at least two vessels
to do patrol duty on the south and north
Atlantic coast. The cruisers will sail
Immediately after receipt of final orders.

Has Complicated Matters.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 29.-The
purchase of foreign vessels by the Unit
ed States government for use as trans
ports during the Spanish american war
and their subsequent sale by the govern
ment to private citizens has resulted in
complicating matters for purchasers from
the fact that after purchase of such ves-
sells the government refuses to allow them
to be documented in the United States
as American vessels. The case in point
is the steamship Scipio, which was re-
Gently sold by the navy department and
was afterwards refused Recommendation.
The purchaser applied to h secretary of
the treasury asking lat if he should
break the Scipio up, whether the material
of which she was constructed would tbe
subject to duty if sold iii the United
States. ~o. Is
To-day Collector Heustis received a cir
cular letter covering the above case from
the treasury department., in which Act
ing Secretary S%paulding says that upon
the sale of said vessel in a port of the
United States the material or materials
taken therefrom would not be regarded
as an importation within the meaning of
the customs laws and would therefore be
exempt from duty.

silver and Bryan. His stand cost him
many votes and hen he took the stump
down there he soon found out how the
people stood. Our people are opposed to
Imperialism and trusts, but in the next
campaign the issues of 1896 will be the
main issues. 1 am confident thai shall

But a comrade bent beside him to hear

it the same way.
The dying soldier rallied as he grasped
his comrades fin,
And he said, "Beware of Alger's beef.

A token from my knapsack, may bring

For if without funeral her sorrow can't

Just bury this instead of me. for it has
been embalmed,
And have them dig the grave as deep,
yea, deeper than a man.
And if my Billy goats alive, don't let

Then on the tombstone, don't forget. one
little line,
Explaining it was putrid beef, not Bacon

Tell my sister she can't weep too much
and mourn and sob and cry,
For though l was a soldier boy and not

Yet am even robbed Of chance for glory

Then writhing with convulsions, he had
to cease to speak.
His comrade had writ down hia words,
that they might be read,
When the soldier fed by Eagan, in for

And the great voice Of the people, rose
with mighty rush,
Till they formed beef commission, with
monstrous whitewash brush,
Yea, calmly, with that whitewaSh brush,
they fixed things up 20 fine,
They made those rations really look like
