There is no better medicine for the babies
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It's
pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures
make it a fayorite with mothers and small

has been used in tens Of thousands of cases
without a single failure SO far as we have
been able to learn. It not only cures Group,

appears, will prevent the attack. In cases
of whooping cough it liquefes the tough
mucous, making it easier to expectorate, and
lessons the severity and frequency of the
paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that
disease of all dangerous consequences. For

For years he had been accustomed to
make annual productions. He announced
that the year following his wife's death
should make no exception. II will write
a farce" he cried with break In his
voice. In the hours when others slept he
wrote; in the hours when they were
awake he was their companion He rest
ed neither by night nor by day. In scenes
for his new farce Charley Hoyt sought to
obllterate the picture of his dead wife in
her coffin.
To Washington he went year after
her death to attend the final rehearsal for
A Deg in the Manager" There Charley
Hoyt encountered his first failure The
heart broken husband had lost his power

The entreaties of his friends forced him

weather observer. On the Fourth of
July, four years ago, we believe, or
was it five, the mercury at Schnepf's
went to 104 in the shade, which was
about four degrees above yesterdays
record. In one respect, however, the
past week has been a record breaker.
1t is doubtful il we have eveN had
seven days of such torrld weather in
succession as during the week COM
mencing with last Sunday. Tempera-
lures of 81 to 9S1s have been
with us daily, and yet, strange to re-
late, no one has died from the direct
effects of the hot weather, and only
one or two cases of prostration, and
they light ones, have been recorded.
There is something in the surround
ings or constitution of the Wheeling
citizen which enables him to stand
extremes of temperature without any
more serious results than unpleasant
ness. A break in the hot weather is
liable to come in a day or two. In the
meanwhile be careful of what YOU eat
and drink, and seek the shade, avoid
ing violent exertion.

PREDICTS CONFLICT


LONDON, August 1.-THE Chinese
minister, in an interview to-day, said
the ministers of the powers in declin-
ing to leave Pekin had undoubtedly
complicated the situation. adding that
ii the allies pushed on to the capitol.
il might have the effect OF involving
the southern provinces in great
trouble. Only to-day. the minister
continued, he had received the infor-
nation that the proposed landing of
Indian troops at Shanghai had already
caused grave apprehension, and there
would be an exodus OF Chinese mer-
chants. If these troops were landed,
he pointed out, others of course would
follow and great conflicts would re-
suit
The minister also said that if the
powers had adopted his suggestion and
opened negotiations with Ii Hung
Chang, matters might have been ar
ranged.
The march of the allies on Pekin,
the Chinese diplomat further remark
ed, would probably endanger the for
eigners' lives, adding that kilograms
had already been received showing that
trouble had arisen in this connection.

ANOTHER NEW YORK FAILURE.

The indications are that the New
York project Of building a magnificent
naval arch in commemmoration of the
deeds Of Admiral Dewey and our sail
ors during the Spanish war, is to fall
through The idea was to reproduce
the present staff affair at Madison
Squire in enduring stone, at a cost of
a million dollars, and an influential
committee was appointed and the mat
ter started off with a hurrah Now,
after the lapse of a year and a half,
only about two hundred thousand dol
Iras have been subscribed, the collec-
ton of money has practically stopped,
and interest has died out in New York
fashion. That city of millionaire
and it is estimated that it mas six hum
dred men worth one or more millions
each-cannot or will not raise the
cash fer this historic arch, and the
whole thing may be set down as an
other Metropolitan fizzle. 1t is a great
pity that the greatest city ON the
American continent and the second
city of the world in points of popula-
ton and wealth, cannot carry out it's
intentions.

tour east and south. Secretary Heath
saw Gov Roosevelt at the New York

velt's purpose to visit the Pacific slope
and on his return to make speeches
in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and
West Virginia His last speeches of
the campaign will be made in New

1t is understood at national head
quarters that the general course of
Gov. Roosevelt's journey has been set
tied finally, and will not be changed,
except to touch places directly on the
route. A great many requests have
been made for deviations, which if
complied with, woulo necessitate drop
ping out places already agreed upon.
Nearly all of Gov. Roosevelt's travel

wanted to laugh. l thought it would take
a great deal to make me make such a fool
Of myselh6 iEtt when he introduced me to

more seriously, and when l went to Chi
Ning-Chow in the province of Shantung,
I found it necessary to don the native garb
in order to appease the minds of the

stead, for I was able to wear the queue
without INDUCING in the unpleasantness
of a head-shave.

MUTUAL SLAUGHTER.

John Z, McCutcheon, the New York
Herald stf correspondent in the Phil
ippi firing from Manila under
pril Goth, throws a strong
n lfaqa Situation in our islands
East. He says, in effect, that it
time of mutual slaughter. Bolo-
n and Filipino irregulars have cut
on, captured, killed or tortured many
OF cur isolated attachments, and in re-
turn the American troops have burned
villages, laid waste the country and
killed every native who might be hos
tile.
That makes bad sort of war, but it
ea Just what the English and Beers are
dffting to in South Africa. Hostilities
pconducted in a spirit of revenge and
upon guerillaaacticsa are indefinitely more
cruel than open hosbilities in the field,
Tor the innocent suffer with the guilty,
and the noncombatant in his cottage
willing to be at peace with all the
world, Is the victim of the first armed
force passing his way his life and Of
ten the lives of his family are sacr
feed out Of pure yengence, the build
ings burned. the crops destroyed and
the animals killed. That this has hap
pened hundreds of times in both South
AFRICA and the Philippines is not to be
doubted. War at its best is a horrible
thing, but when il takes on this partic
ular feature it ought to be stopped by
all means England and America could
hot DO better than to make some sort
Df peace, put an end to the suffusion
Of Blood, and thus save the lives of
many who viii otherwise perish and
preserve thousands Of square miles of
rich country from devastation. To
continue at the present rate is only to
i1nitate the savage.
