The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe.
, This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awaken.
ed in the middle of the night by q
whoop from one of the children.
The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as
a revolver is sure to be lost in case
of burglars. There used to be an
old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much
It causes the patient to "throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
in shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. Tt
never fails and is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by J. E. Kauf-

Havana, Nov. PA heavy rain
interfered with the public demon
stration which was held today in the
interest of legalizing cock fighting
in Cuba and resembling the military
order prohibiting it. There were
five bands of music in the process
sion which marched through the
streets Of Havana, but only 500
country men, on foot and on horse
back, turned out for the occasion.
Banners proclaiming cockfghting
to be the national sport of Cuba
were much in evidence. Several
winning game cocks were proudly
exhibited in the procession. TIE
demonstrators were refused ap audi.
ence by President Palma, but pre-
ssnted their petition in favor of
cock fighting to the senate. Other
petitions in favor of the sport have
been presented to congress from all
parts of the island.
