Does It Pay to Buy Cheap:

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then in either
case take the oni Y remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat and
lung troubles. "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and slim
ulates the tissues to destroy the germ

invented more charming airs than in
any other of his numerous produc-

MILWAUKEE, SEEKS GULF.

ing. of the Chicago, Milwaukee IL St.
Paul railroad, who is to succeed Cen
eral Manager Collins Feb. l, is said to
be engineering scheme to secure
control of the Pittsburg 81 Gulf line
and then open up a through line to
the gulf. A survey has been COM
pleted between Davenport and Ottum-
wa, and an almost air line will be
built between the two points. Chilli
Gothic, Mo-, it is said, will be aban-
doned as a division point and the
headquarters renewed to Ottumwa,
leaving no division between there and
kansas City. Inc scheme OF the
Milwaukee 10 abs orb the Gulf line is
considered by railroad officials to he
one of the most important projects
ever attempted by the Milwaukee
road. This information comes from
Chief Engineer Baker, of the Milwau-
kee road.
There is local interest in the fore
going item from the fact that the
Gulf road is owned by the Gates peo-
pie, and line from Davenport to OF
tumwa may mean a combination eff
fected by the Northwestern instead of

MOVE PROVES VERY UNPOPULAR.

Delegates Almost As Unit Record Them

Showing Marked Change in Sentiment
-Omcers for the Year Elected at Month
Jy Meeting Yesterday
The Tri-City Labor congl ess, in
regular January session at its hall in
the Rock Island Industrial Home YES
terday afternoon, rescinded the action
taken at the December meeting. dis
franchising from mem bership all
holding political office, either appoint
i've or elective, thereby putting 4
quietus on storm following what was
termed by the more conservative ele-
ment of the body a radical move, and
which, it was predicted, would have
resulted in the eventual disruption of
the assembly.
Bentoa Davis, of Moline, who has
served the congress so admirably as
pre- sident for several years, was one
of those who would have been barred
from the congress by the anti-politi-
cal amendment, which was to have
become effective yesterday, the date
OF the annual election of officers.
One of the delegates elected by Iron
MOlders' union No. 23I, OF Moline,
was Benton Davis, who, upon the
reading of his name, stated that it
was not at his request he was re-
turned to the congress as one of the
representatives, of his union. but it
was the wish of his w-tradesmen.
He was willing to serve as delegate,
but would not accept an Office i'll the
congress. He thereupon surrendered
the chair to Secretary q. Z. Morgan.
Mr.. Davis was subsequently renOmi-
mated for president, but declined to
stand rs candidate.
A protracted discussion followed, in
which the anti-politcal amendment
was attacked and defended. But
when the final test came it was dem
onstrated there had been considera bic
of change in sentiment among the
members in the past two months.
only five of the delegates present yot-
ing in favor of the amendment.

Reaching a Decision.

When a case has been submitted to
the supreme court, the justices are fur
nished with printed copy of the record
and of each brief filed, and are expect
ed to study them at their homes before
the case is taken up for consideration.
The Importance of the case and the
intricacy of the points involved often
extend the discussion over several days,
and sometimes months. The discus
sion being concluded the chief justice
calls the roll, and each justice who has
heard the argument votes his opinion.
Then the chief justice assigns some one,
generally the justice who has taken
the most interest in the subject, to pre-
pare the opinion, which is privately
printed and handed to the other mem-
bers of the court for criticism. After
examination they return 1t to the au-
thor with such comments as occur to
them. The author often adopts thei1
suggestions, or they may become the
subject of another conference, and are
sustained or overruled as the majority
may determine. The opinion is then
reprinted and read from the bench by
its author on the following Monday

A Cool Dor.

When cat Hes with her back to
the stove 1t 10 sign OF storm, but
when dog lies on q piece Of ice no
one knows what to predict. The un-
usual spectacle of dog spread at full
length upon a cake of Ice attracted
full share of attention on Eleventh
street the other day. The ice had been
left before q store door early In the
morning, and cool riyulets were trick
ling from 1t to the gutter. The dag
waddled languidly up the street, his
tongue hanging out and his tail be-
tween his legs, the sorriest victim Of
heat to be seen in q days tramp. He
looked at the ice, came nearer, shifted
at It with evident enjoyment, then in
raptures of delight ran his tongue
over its cool surface. AS cat capers
in catnip the dog capered around the
ice. Then he turned twice and
stretched himself upon 1t. Many o
passer-by seemed to envy him his cool
position.-Philadelphia Press.

HE DIDN'T MIND THE TOES.
1t Was the Thought of His New Shoes
That Worried HIM More Than
the Loss of Them.

The other day as the West Madison
street cable rounded the State street
corner with little more than. its. or
dinary speed, young man etanding
on the track with a package under his
arm failed to get out Of the way In
time and the first wheel Of the grip
car caught the toe Of one Of his feet.
With a shrek the youth fell to the
street. Hewas picked up and carried
into the corner drug store eobbing
and crying, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
"Brace up, young fellow, don't take
IL so hardi you may not have to have
your foot amputated," said tha drug
clerk.
~Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, four Of my
toes are gone" sobbed the boy. II
can tell. Don't talk to me-"
"Oh. well, II only four Of your toes
are gone you must cheer up. II might
have been lot worse than that Sup
posing II had been your whole leg?
But I suppose 1t does hurt pretty bad
Take another drink Of this whisky;
it'll fix you up all right"
~Oh, II can't bring back my toes,
though" and the boy began to sob
harder than ever. Then In q few min
utes hebecame less violent. He looked
up at the drug clerk and two big tears
Yolled down his cheeks.
