Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal.
New York, Aug. 5.-Dr. r. s. Law, pro-
moter of the Golden Sceptre Gold Mining
Co., of which Harry Emmons of Whining
ton, was president, and ex-senator Anthony
Higgins director, was arrested, Saturday,
in New York City, and is now in Ludlow
street Jail, awaiting trial.
Judgment was taken against DR.. Law over
a year ago in suit in which Elizabeth
Walling, wife of the Rev. William A. Wall
ing, was complainant. Since then DR.. Law
has defed the courts, refusing to attend the
same when summoned and keeping out of
the State to avoid arrest. The past year he
has spent most OF the time in Philadelphia,
promoting other lines. Last week he re-
turned to New York and Saturday was ar
rested for contempt of court and taken to
jail by the sheriff.
DIR. Law has promoted nine mines since
he left Wilmington, among them being the
Cape Nome, but which, like all the OTHERS
failed and brought disaster to many small
stockholders.

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies-
Did You Ever Try This One:

Everybody you meet on the streets now
adays either has just had the grip, is COM
ing down with It or has sure cure for 1t.
The disease has been a puzzle to physi-
clans ever since its appearance several
years ago, and il is as much of a puzzle to-
day as it was then. 1t exhibits such
variety of symptoms in different individuals
and leaves such disastrous results after ap-
parent recovery. that as yet its prevention
and cure has baffied medical science
However there is no doubt but that the
grip is catarrhal in character and the lead
ing symptom in nearly every case is in
creased secretion in the head and throat,
in fact. the first indications of la grippe are
those of a cold in the head which extends
to the throat and lungs.
DR. johnson Ames advises the safest
course to pursue On the first appearance of
grip symptoms to keep to the house for a
day or two and take Stuart'S Catarrh Tab
lets every hour the first day and every two
this will break up the trouble before 1t be-
comes deep-seated.
The catarrh tablets are antiseDtic and
harmless and prevent fever and the further
development of grip germs, and ward off
the ever-present danger of pneumonia.
Dr. Gerald Simpson says: Il have found
Stuart's Catarrf Tablets pleasant and
thoroughly reliable remedy for the grip,
especially with elderly people with whom
this prevailing disease is always dangerous:
the tablets can be found at any drug store
of the attack will break 1t up"
La grippe Is a catarrhal affection, the
germs are in the air and no one is proof
against it. but the timely use Of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets will prevent any serious
results.
