La Grippe Quickly Cured.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899
was taken down with severe attack
of what is called La Grippe" says F.
l.. Hewett, q prominent druggist of
Winfield, Ill. 1.-THE only medicine 1
used was two bottles of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and 1 have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to beak up severe cold and ward off
any threatened attack of pneumonia.
IL is pleasant to take, too, which makes
it the most desirable and one of the
most popular preparations in use for
these ailments. For sale by Wangler

THE STORE DETECTIVE.

At Times He Makes 1t Unpleasant
For Others Than Thieves.
A young woman who sings in church
choir in this city was in one Of the de-
partment stores the other day when
the detective employed there stopped
BESIDE her and, pointing to a woman
with long cape and bag at an ad-
Joining counter, said:
"Just watch that woman work"
The singer saw the woman take two
articles from the counter when the
shopgirl was not looking and drop
them into her bag.
"Why, she is stealing" she said.
"Yes," said the detective, ''and if you
will follow her to the next counter with
me you will see her take more things"
The singer was interested, and she
walked along with the detective. Two
more articles were dropped in the bag,
and then the detective arrested the
shoplifter. She made the usual scene
and protested her innocence. The de-
tective asked the singer If she would
step back to the Office with him and
SOIiODOldlc LIS Cuui Sco, uuu BIC Wcul,
unconscious of further trouble. There
was no doubt as to the shoplifter's
guilt. She came Of respectable fam
lily, and she convinced the singer that
she took the articles not because she
needed them or the money that they
would bring, but because she had the
shoplifting habit.
When these facts were settled, the
detective thanked the singer for her as
sistance and told her that she must be
In the police court at 9 o'clock ON the
following morning as witness. 1t
was the singers turn to make scene.
She protested against being dragged
into a police court and said that such
notoriety would seriously injure her In
her work. The detective insisted, and
had the charge against the shoplifter
not been withdrawn before the case
reached the court the singer would
have been one of the witnesses. She
denounced the detective and the store
which employed him for imposing on
its patrons In that fashion, and she Is
going to make it her business hereafter
to keep out of the way Of store detect
ives. Had the singer been forced to go
to court her punishment in the conse-
quent notoriety would have been al
most as hard as that inflicted on the
shoplifter.-New York Sun.

A powerful engine cannot be run
with weak boiler, and we can't keep
up the strain of an active life with a
weak stomach; neither can we stop the
human machine to make repairs. If
the stomach cannot digest enough food
to keep the body strong, such prepar-
alton as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure should
be used. 1t digests what you eat and it
digests what you eat and it simply
can't help but do you good. Wangier

Vessel Was Three Days Overdue.
The ROu de JaneirO was three days
overdue from Hong Kong via Homo
lulu when she arrived off the Heads
Thursday night, and the dense fog
prevailing at the time induced Pilot
Jordan to bring her to anchor until he
could see his way clear through the
gateway. She laid to until 4:30 a.
m, when the atmosphere cleared and
she was started under slow bell
toward Point Bonita. All went well
until $40 a. M, when she struck.
Most of the passengers were below
at the time, and 1t is believed that
many of them were drowned in their
berths. Two hours later the news
reached here and tugs went out but
got there too late. A number of
drowning people were rescued by Ital-

LOST NUMBER NEARLY 1aO.
Captain Held Responsible for the Terrible
Disaster OF San Fraucisco.


Disaster OF San Francisco.
San Francisco, Feb. $3.50 far as
can be ascertained from reliable data
rs lives were lost In the wreck of the
Pacihc mail steamer City Of Rio de
Janeiro. Some fishermen Saturday
morning found packet containing the
papers of Purser Rooney. Among
them was the passenger list and a
punch OF cancelled passenger tickets,
SO tnat some passengers who started
on the ship must have laid over some
where en- route and were not aboard
when she went down. Those who laid
over were: William Casle and wife,
w. Klose, Mrs. G. X. Mcintosh, and
Mr.. III. s. Olcott
or the 200 sacks of mail carried by
the Rio de Janeiro only twelve have
come to the surface. The investigation
into the cause Of the disaster will be
hampered by the fact that Captain
ward, the man held responsible for
the navigation of the steamer is dead.
1t Is not correct as was thought by
many that the pilot was responsible.
He does not take charge of the ship
when he goes aboard; he is only there
as an advisor to the captain; and when
Captain Ward ordered him to go ahead
In the fog he had to obey orders.
Third Officer G. ]. Holland, reported
dead, has turned up alive. He said
that he escaped in boat with seven
Chinese of the crew, and that Captain
Ward was carrying Mrs. Wildman to
one Of the boats when the steamer
went down.

STATEMENT OF PILOT JORDAN.
Says the Captain Gave the Order to Move
in the Fog.

Says the Captain Gave the Order to Move
in the Fog.
Captain Frederick w. Jordan, the
pilot of the Rio, was rescued by an
Italian fishing boat owned by Freder-
ick Castrini, and brought to Meiggs
station. He was taken up to the room
occupied by the customs officials and
told the following story: "We an
chored inside about 5 O'clock last night.
The weather was thick, and left or
ders that when the weather cleared we
should go further In. At 8 a. m. the
fog lifted. We could sc the Cliff House
and the North End light and told the
mate to heave short. After we start
ed heaving short the wind came in
from the northeast and the fog set
tied in thick. and I told the mate to
stop heaving.
''Then the captain came up and said:
Let her go. We can go ahead"
Captain Jordan made this statement
to Captain Freeman and his friends
who crowded around him. To Cap
tain Freeman he said: "Ain't I in a
d Of fix?"
Captain Freeman put his arms
around the pilot and said: Don't talk
about it. You are here and that Is
all we care"
Captain Jordan then continued his
story: when the vessel struck
l ordered all the boats out. The first
boat out was that of the doctor. 1t
was half filed with water no sooner
than it struck" He then told how
he helped woman down ladder, car
rying her little boy, but the ship gave
lurch and threw them all into the
sea and he never saw either woman
or boy again.
did you see Captain Ward?" 81
saw nothing Of him after we struck"
The wreck lies about three fourths
or mile south of Fort Point and
about 1000 yards off the rocky shore.
frederick Lindstrom, the quartermas-
ter officer of the Rio, emphatically de-
clared that Captain Ward emulated
Admiral TriyOu, of her British ma
Jesty's ship Victoria, in going down to
his cabin where he met his doom be-
hind locked door.
The cargo of the Rio de Janeiro was
valued at over 100000. There was
besides 100000 in treasure In the
specie tank. The steamer itself was
valued at from $650,0O0 to 100000.
