Pneumonia Prevented.

Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlain S Cough Rem

past few years, to our knowledge, not
a single case has resulted in pneumo-

prominent retail druggists in that

recommend Chamberlain's Cough

SEEN FROM VARIOUS VIEWPOINTS.
Nav Mark the Decline of Pull"

The recent official proclamation, so
to speak, virtually prohibiting army
and navy officers from trying to rlace
the president under rolitical pressure
in the filling of military and naval
costs, may mark the end of the hal,
cyon days of pull in the army and
navy. Senator Proctor a year or two
ago delivered notable denunciation
of the system of .olitical and social
intrigue by which so many officers
obtained coveted positions or promo
tions. President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Root are just the men TO stamp
out that system once and for ALL

Want TO STOP AND
START OVER AGAIN
Senators Get Excited in
Discussion Of Their
New Rules.
BROWN WAKES WARM ON
LIMITATION OF SPEECH
Roadway is Made However With Pros.
pect That Some Rules Will Yet
be 0btained--Up to
Rule 81.

At the Wednesday afternoon SEES
sion the Senate took up again the
consideration Of the rules. Mr.. Bald
win spoke against a great number Of
OF standing committees as was being
proposed. The work would be no means
be facilitated. In the matter OF the
fire claims and liquor committees there
should be special committees and there
should be five instead of three mem
bers neach of these.
Mr.. Cecil Brown moved that there
be combination Of the committees on
agriculture and forestry and govern
ment lands, public works and internal
Improvements. This was lost
Use OF Government Roads
Mr.. White spoke for the passage Of
these committees as they appeared in
the rules on account Of the work that
would devolve upon them. During the
course OF his remarks. Mr.. White said
that cerain government highways were
being used by plantations for their own
purposes. This was among the mat.
tiers that should be investigated.
Mr.. Carter asked the speaker II the
claims OF the government to certain
roads alleged to have been used by
plantations was the business OF the
Legislature to investigate. Mr.. White
answered that 1t was, to a certain ex
tent.
On motion OF Mr.. Cecil Brown, thu
committees on public health and edu
cation were made one. The same Sen
ator moved that the miscellaneous pc
tition committee be stricken out bu
this motion was lost.
When 1t came to the committee OF
claims, Mr.. White moved that 1t pass
There was nothing said until just be
fore the putting of the motion wher
Mr.. Cecil Brown said: "Mr. Speaker,
would object but there is no use."
Mr.. Achi objected to the passage of {
committee on liquor He playfully ask
ed as to why the Senate was not Civ
en- committee on poi, another on rice
another on milk, and the like. Mr.
White moved that the word "liquor'
be stricken out and the word "intoxi
cants" put in its place. Mr.. Ceci
Brown moved the addition Of the words
"and opium" This was lost and Mr.
Whites amendment passed.
Mr.. White next proposed commit
tee on elections and Mr.. Carter aske'
as to the duties Of this committee. Mr.
White answered that the duties OF thi
committee would be to consider certi
ficates of elections, returns and oths
election matters which might be re
ferred to them by the Senate.
Mr.. White next proposed committe
on municipal and county government
This passed.
Mr.. Cecil Brown asked Mr.. White

Mr.. Carter also spoke on what he
called gag law. He stated that such
q thing would work against the major
ity by and by. Mr.. Cecil Brown spoke
again as follows. showing more feeling
than he has yet during the session:
I'VE are sent here by our consti'u-
ents, the voters Of this country to rep
resent them and undertake to do such
legislation as may be brought before us
and for the good OF the country; and
when this body. the first Territorial
Legislature that is elected. undertakes
to shut up the mouths of the members
here and confine them to twenty min
utes. no matter what the question
may be- say that the day will come
when the voters OF this country will
reprove the Senators in way that will
be understood. The people will not
stand the shutting up OF their mouths
and preventing their representatives
from expressing their opinions. So
say, be careful how you vote in shut
ting up the mouths Of every Senator
who is sent here by the people Of the
country to speak the views they were
sent here to represent"
Senator Achi was another OF the
members OF the Senate who objected
strenuously to the addition Of the
clause suggested by Mr.. White. He said

COMMON NAMES.
Would Furnish the Subject for Son'
Interesting Statistics.

Interesting statistics.
Speaking of names, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat, there is re-
ally a demand in this country for new
family names, and no man knows this
better than the fellow whose bust.
ness forces him to study the directo.
ries of the large cities of the coun.
try. Of course, the trouble is with
the more common names, but when
you come to think Of it these com-
mon names make up at least 80 per
cent. of the population of the larger
cities. Really, what a void there
would be in ONE of the largest places
of the country if there should be a
sudden exodus Of the families bear
ing m names! Suppose the
Smiths, and the Joneses, and the
Browns should suddenly decide to
beat hastily over the corporate line
of any one of the big cities of the
United States; think of the number
Of houses that would be left vacant,
the amount of money that would be
pulled out of the banks and out Of
circulation, and the enormous
amount of labor that would be with
drawn, and the value ofthe trade that
would go with them in their sudden
flight. But cities could not stand the
shock, so deeply have these families
become intrenched in the industrial,
commercial and financial institutions
Of the modern municipality. There
are many other names, which, while
probably less common, still carry with
them a heavy per cent. of city popula-
ton. The Johnsons play some part,
but the name is variously spelled.
Black, too, is a common name.
Washington has become very
common since the legend of
che cherry tree and the Ratchet.
Miller is a popular name, and
there are many others that might
be included in the classification. The
directories are full of them. There
is a chance for some statistical fiend
to make an interesting and instruc-
tive compilation along this line.
What per cent, for instance, Of the
American population will the Smiths
represent? Or the Joneses? Or the
Browns? Or the Johnsons, and
Blacks, and Whites, and Millers, and
Washingtons, and other familiar
names? There is a chance for some
figuring. These names not only
represent a heavy per cent. of the
American population, but they own a
heavy per cent. of American values.
So the fellow who undertakes it might
find a lifetime task if he traced the
names in all their bearings and in all
their infinite ramifcations, The So
cal and business fabric Is literally
threaded with these names. But /
had in mind the confusion frequent
ty resultingi in sending letters through
he mails, and in sending Geographic
communications. These messages
frequently get mixed on account of
,he vast number of persons bearing
The same name, and not infrequently
he same initials.

FAITHFUL


Gun That scares Wolves by Shooting
Every Hour.
The wolf gun vas considered such
a foolish device that the United States
government for a long time refused to
issue a patent for it. Now it Is in op-
GRAFTON, and is saving thousands of
head of cattle, sheep, and swine. Dos
ems of ranchmen in Colorado and Wye
ming are providing themselves with
the weapons, and it is said that they
are worth their W elt in gold" The
wolf gun is an ord y gun arranged
to explode a blank cartridge every hoSs
during the night by a clever little de-
vice invented by q Kansas man. The
ranchman places 1t near his herd and
goes to sleep, knowing that they viN
be safe from the attack Of predatory
animals, because these animals feae
the report of a gun. 1t is a faithful
watch. Every hour its report can DO
