3e Careful In the Use OF Cough Med
icines for Ohtldren's Coughs an,
Colds.
Many analysis of cheap cough
mixtures, and cough and throat
lozenges have clearly proven that
a large proportion of them contain
opiates.
The temporary relief which
these cheap medicines often give
in coughs and colds, especially
with little children, is because the
opiate, by destroying nerve sensa-
ton, the irritation in throat,
which causes the cough, is tenn
porarily removed, but the real
cause of the cold is not in any way
removed by the opiate and will
promptly return.
the catarrhal secretion which
causes the cold, the hoarseness
and irritating cough is a new
preparation composed of antisep-
tics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol, San
guinaria and sold by druggists un-
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, which contain no opiate, CO.
caine OF poisonous drug of any
sort.
A mother living in Charleston,
Mass, the happy possessor of
four children, writes: Every fall
and winter I have laid in a stock
of cough medicines. Group mix
lures, and throat remedies for my
little children. for somehow or
other, they never seemed to be
free from colds, Group or sore
throat.
This fall I made a change in
the usual program. had myself
been cured of an obstinate catarrh,
from which / had suffered for
years by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and as they were pleasant to take
l determined to try them with my
children. Our family physician
told me he knew them to be per-
fectly safe and nothing better
could be taken. So | gave them
to the children and have contin-
ued to do so eve since, whenever
there is the least sign Of Group or
sore throat and | no longer dread
the approach of cold weather as /
once did.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not
only cured me of chronic nasal and
throat catarrh, but they have
saved me many an anxious night
with my little ones"
People who have used sprays,
fnhalers, salves and washes for
catarrh, and have found how
useless they are. will be
a%greeably surprised at the results
following the use of a pleasant
internal remedy in tablet form.
Druggists everywhere admit that
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which
they sell at SOC per package, is the
safest, most effective and popular
of all catarrh remedies.

Financial News.
1t is impossible to say whether the
purpose of the manipulators of the re-
cent American Steel and Wire cpl
sode has been accomplished. The large
dealings and the wide range. Of prices
in the stocks of this company have
afforded opportunity for a considerable
shifting Of speculative accounts.
While 1t must be conceded that only
a radical change in the management
of the Steel and Wire Company will
~re-establish general confidence in the
property, it is possible that manipu-
lation may have virtually accomplish
ed the object of covering short stocks
sold at a materially higher level. 1t
is not fair to judge other iron and steel
properties and arrangements in the
light of what has taken place in Steel
and Wire since the return of Mr..
Gates from his Southwestern trip; nor
Is there reason to believe that the eff
forts of a set of men in one particular
company to demosalize trade condi-
lions will succeed.
1t is probably true that some dis
turbance has been caused in iron and
steel circles by the sensational steps
of the Steel and Wire executives this
week. Even IL it should result in a
temporary weakening of prices, an adj
vantage would rebound to buyers, and
the movement to take advantage OF
this unexpected development may In
crease the new orders on the books
of the great companies. 1t is the con-
viction of most men intimately on
neeted with the iron and steel indus
try, that prices of various commodi-
ties might decline materially from the
present level without preventing a
large reaping of profits even at the
lower range. If there Is any import
ant measure of truth In the financial
statements submitted in the last few
months by the various large produc-
ing companies, there is not the slight
est danger that dividend paying pow
ers would be impaired by lower prices
for products. Many strong capital
lists are holding the iron and steel
stocks with absolute faith in their in
vestment value, and the immense de-
cline in prices from the maximum Of
last year offers a wider margin OF
safety for courageous speculative ven-
lures. while at the same time prevail
ing prices must increase the attraction
to legitimate investors who are COM
petently acquainted with the true state
Of trade.

Mr.. Wilkie was excused, and Mr..
Bradbury announced that the commit
tee would go into executive session
and would call for witnesses and ap-
plicants If they were wanted. The
committee then went into
Session.
The application of John G. Kline was
taken up, and after the Chair had an
nounced an unanimous affirmative
vote a quarrel arose between Mr.. Brad
bury and Mr.. Bickerton over Mr.. Bick-
erton's insisting that he be permitted
to go on record as opposing the license.
He called Mr.. ~Bradbury's attention very
forcibly to the fact that he BRADBURY
himself opposed the license to
Kline, and he was satisfied that no evil
dence had been offered to remove the
impression which had been made be-
fore upon Mr.. Bradbury as to the char
acter of the place.
Mr.. Bradbury replied that the objec-
ton 70 granting license appeared to
be on the ground Of entertaining and
harboring women aud not upon the
evil of gambling If gambling were
to disqualify applicants the committee

saloonkeepers all along Market street.
| Mr.. Bickerton said he was in favor
of refusing license to all who conducted
gambling resorts in connection with
their saloons.
The motion was reconsidered, and
Mr.. Bickerton called attention to the
fact that the Mayor said Councilmen
did not stand behind him. He wanted
that objection removed, but he did not
desire to cater to the Federation Of
Churches or pose as a reformer of pub
lie morals.
I Mr.. Chew said he wanted TO make a
motion to cover all the applications.
He wanted the City Solicitor to pre-
pare some safeguard to compel the
saloonkeepers to keep women off their
premises. He would insist on a prom
Use from each of them, and then some
method of compelling them to keep
, their promises. He was satisfied that
some of the applicants were sincere
in their promises to reform their places
of business. He moved to report to
Council that the committee reafirms
its former action and recommends that
lno licenses be granted until applicants
satisfy the City Solicitor and Council
that they will conduct their places
properly.
Mr.. Bickerton wanted to know who
would be the accuser Mr.. Bradbury
did not take kindly to Mr.. Chew's
scheme. Mr.. Bickerton and Mr.. Brad
bury remarked that it was the same
thing over again, and called attention
to the fact that Joe Barum. upon his
own proposition, gave security last
year, and within two weeks his house
was running in the same old way.
The motion of Mr.. Chew was debated
at some length and then unanimously
adopted. 1t provides that all appli-
cants must satisfy Council and the City
| Solicitor that they will not harbor
women before being granted license.

they are looking forward with great delight

The Weapons of the Future.
From Chambe-s' Journal.


Mr.. Maxim foreshadows several novelties
In the way of warlike appliances One is
the steam-driven machine which will run
in advance of a body of troops and drop
charges of dynamite as 1t proceeds on its
way. These charges will explode and form
deep trenches ready for the accommodation
of the men behind. Another suggestion is
smoke-producing bombs to shut out an en-
eHys vision, so as to permit opposing
troops to advance, and a variation of the
proposal is that such bombs should emit
a sufrocating odor as to force a hasty
retreat. Mr.. Maxim also describes an in
vention which he is perfecting which takes
the form of a battle ship destroyer, being a
kind of torpedo boat which will float either
on the surface of water or below 1t. This
boat would carry torpedoes for submarine
work and would also eject aerial projectiles
carrying 800 pounds of high explosives
The craft would be propelled at high speed
by the use of turbine engines driven by
the mixed steam and gas from material
similar to smokeless powder. He antici-
pates that an enormous amount Of energy
could be developed from such source.

Alas. for human greatness! A horsemar
trotting along the stony street drew UP ir
front Of the gate with a sudden cessation
Of the juggling of saber and the rafting
of trappings. Two musket butts struck the
ground almost simultaneously, as the two
sentries at the gate finished their salute
Ayesha dropped the fish, which she was
cleaning at the hydrant. wiped her hands
upon her dirty apron and tore it from her
waist. Souleima set little pile of dishes
upon the table and tried to pat her strag-

plemented by cavalry boot shook the gate
till the fastenings ratified.
"Mercfful Allah, the effendi," screamed
Ayesha and Souleima under their breath

they were too good Turks to open without
inquiring sweetly:

Kostakes paid no attention to the low

his sword, cried fiercely:

He sank into the proffered chair with a
sigh of satisfaction. The effendi had been
riding hard and was evidently tired. He
was uncomfortable, too. and needed a bath
and grooming. prickly black beard had
grown upon his square chin, and perspira-
ton had made little water courses in the
dust upon his dark brown cheeks. He laid
bis right foot upon his left knee. slapped his
hands side by side upon the high boot tops
and swept the court with inquiring eye.
"Barbounia. eh?' he inquired Of Ayesha

cleaned mulets.
