FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Be Careful in the Use of Cough Medi.
Cines for ChiIdren's Coughs
and Colds.

Many analyses of cheap cough mix
lures and cough and throat lozenges
have clearly proven that a large pro-
portion Of them contain opiates.
The temporary relief which these
cheap medicines often give in coughs
and colds, especially with little chill
dren. is because the opiate, by destroy
ing nerve sensation, 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 best thing to use to remove the
catarrhal secretion which causes the
cold, the hoarseness and irritating
cough is a new preparation composed
of ant1sept1cS like Eucalyptol, Guatacol,
Sanguinaria and sold by druggists I'M
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which contain no opiate, cocaine or
poisonous drug of any sort.
A mother living in Charleston, Mass,
the happy pOsSeSsOr of four children,
writes: Every fall and $Sinter have
laid in a stock of cough medicines, Group
mixtures, 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 made a change in the usual
programme. had myself been cured
of an obstinate catarrh, from which 1
had suffered for years by Stuart'S Ca
tarrh Tablets, and as they were pleas
ant to take I determined to try them
with my children. Our family physician
told me he knew them to be perfectly
safe and nothing better could be taken.
| So I gave them to the children and have
/ continued to do so ever since, whenever
/ there is the least sign of Group or sore
i throat and / no longer dread the APP
proach. of cold weather as once did.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only
cured me of chronic nasal and throat
catarTh, but they have saved me many
an anxious night with my little ones. y
People who have used sprays. in
| halers, salveS and washes for catarrh
/ and have found how useless they are
will be agreeably surprised at the re-
suits following the use of a pleasant
| internal remedy in tablet form. Drug
gists everywhere admit that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, which they sell at 500
per package, is the safest, most effec-
tive and popular Of all catarrh remedies

OPPOSE THE AMENDMENT.
Creeks and Cherokees May Not Ratify
Curtis Agreement.

Washington, April 24.-The bills in
troduced by Representative Curtis of
Kansas providing for ratification of the
Creek and Cherokee agreements pro-
pose such sweeping changes in the
agreements as to render it extremely
doubtful that they will be ratified by
the Indians if passed by congress.
The Cherokees will fight against the
provision for enrolment of the in
truders'' and against the re-enactment
of section Is of the Curtis act, concern
ing leases of oil, coal, gas, asphalt and
other minerals. These provisions, 1t IS
thought if insisted upon, will endanger
ratification of the agreements. The
Creek agreement is amended by the bill
to bring it into harmony with the letter
of the secretary of the interior trans
hitting the agreement to congress, and
the same provision is inserted in regard
to oil and mineral leases that is object
ed to by the Cherokees.
General Porter, CHIEF of the Creeks,
has written to Washington that the
changes proposed, especially those con-
cerning the failure to guarantee title
to the individual allottee, will not be
acceptable to the nation. It appears
that, if congress adopts the changes
proposed by Mr.. Curtis the agreement
may fail.

MEMORY OF COL. HOLIDAY
Organization to Erect Monument Is
Formed

A meeting will be held at the council
chamber Wednesday evening to form
an association for the erection of a
monument to the memory of Colonel
Holiday.
The committee which was appointed
from the council a short time ago, recon-
mended this action, and it was adopted
by the council. The committee also
recommended that the monument be a
bronze statue, mounted on marble
base. The money for it will be raised
by popular subscription.
The report of the committee, which
consisted of J. w. F. Hughes, J. S. War
ner, and NJ. Snattinger was as follows:
Your committee appointed relative to
erecting a statue or monument to the
founder of the city and the first mayor
of Topeka, respectfully report that they
have given the matter a good deal of
consideration, and report as follows:
''FirSt-TO erect a statue in some pub
lie place, to be designated later, consist
ing of a bronze statue, full figure size,
on granite pedestal.
"Second-That the money be raised
by popular subscription.
'"Third-That a permanent organiza-
ton be instituted on Wednesday even
ing April 25, at o'clock, at the council
chamber, towards erecting a proper
monument.
"Fourth-That the following friends
and associates be most earnestly re-
quested by the mayor and council to
meet and form such organization: G. j.

HILL MAKES A PLEA.
For Election of U. s. Senators by
Popular Vote.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 24.-F'ive hun
bred leading Democrats of Syracuse
and northern and central New York at
tended the Jefferson dinner given I'M
der the auspices of the local Dem
ocracy by Mayor James K. Mcclure
last night. Gold men and silver advO-
Gates united in making the affair a
great political success.
FOremr Senator David B. Hill made
the main speech of the evening. He
said in part: 1.-THE public interest
would. in my opinion, be promoted by
the election of United States Sana tors
by the people instead of by state legis-
1atureS. I hazard nothing in stating
that nine-tenths of the people of the
country favor the proposed change and
are much gratified at the recent pass
age of a constitutional amendment to
that effect by the house Of representa-
tives and which is now pending in the
United States senate awaiting action.
The success of this reform would mean
the death knell of offensive bossism in
the federal senate, a contamination
much to be desired.
Permit me to say in this connection
that a plank favoring an amendment
to the constitution providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people was in the original draft of
the Chicago platform of 1896, but was
stricken therefrom by the sub-commit-
tee on resolutions, against my earnest
protest. While not intending to dis
cuss national questions here this even
ing, I may digress sufficiently to say
that there is now every reasonable
prospect that such wise action may be
had that it can be truthfully said at
the conclusion of the coming conven-
ton at Kansas City on the anniVer-
sary of our nations independence, that
the stone which the builders refused is
become the head of the corner

LORNE is A DUKE.
Marquis Succeeds to His Fathers
Title of Argyll.

the Marquis of Lorne- to the dukedom
of Argyll, owing to the death of his
father, creates a vacancy in the house
of commons for South Manchester,
which the marquis represented. 1t is
understood that had the seat been
safer for the unionists a vacancy would
have been created some time ago by
the queen making her son-in-law a
peer. Now the unionists are forced to
recontest the constituency which only
gave the Marquis of Lorne a majority
of 78 at the last election. It is pre-
sumed that the Princess Louise, daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria and wife of the
Marquis of Lorne. will hereafter as
sumo the title of Duchess of Argyll.
