Der OF the American Tobacco Company
or trust: the other whether the ma
iron, who is from Massachusetts, and
who is paid a salary Of 81, 900, ought not

sion was the adoption of a resolution
that 1t vas proper to receive the gifts
Of Mr.. Duke, and the adoption OF an
other resolution that a North Carolina
mi should be made matron. The
attendance at the grand lodge was ever

How to Prevept Pneumopta

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from q cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
he epidemic Of la grippe a few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy was used. 1t counteracts n ten
dency of a cold or la grippe to result
in that dangerous disease. It is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and Ia grippe. Every bottle warranted.

many different directions at the same
time as the proverbial cat has lives.
They are headed for the Hole-in-the-
Wall, the Teton basin. for the Rob-

one day, and next day the posses in
Utah, Idaho, Montana and Dakota are
hourly expecting their arrival. Mean
while the Wyoming rough riders are
pursuing them on a hot trail regardless
or directions Here a woman captures
them, there a sheriff takes them to
jail, now they are seen heading for
the Wind River mountains, next the
chase has been abandoned and then
a determined band of manhunters is
equipped and instructed to hunt them
to death.
There are as many conflicting
rumors about the escape, course, cap
ture, and plans for the future as the
war department sends out concerning
the Philippine insurrection.
