A VALUABLE MEDICINE

For Coughs and Colds ill Children.
 T have not the slightest hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Coug- Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds" says Charles NJ Cramer, Esq, . we'll known watch maker of Colombo, Ceylon. 'sIt has been some two years since the city dis pensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have repeated ly used it and it has always been bene- ticial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarse- ness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine, and they are a'I as we'll pleased as myself over the re- suits. For sale by all druggists.

The democrats are getting some amusement out of the friction which has developed between the senate Phil ippines committee and the house com mittee on insular affairs. The foriner has determined to recommend a silver standard for the islands, while the house committee holds out for . gold standard. That the republicans them selves, after their extravagant claims ill regard to the benefits to be derived from the gold standard, should find themselves divided on such a question is one of the Inconsistencies for which that party is noted

tillery, and in every instance the in- fantry fire of the Boers withered and dispersed superior forces brayely led. Never before have pitched battles been fought with armies of sharp modern troops trained in the old school of infantry fire and automatic move ment. It has been here conclusively proved that in the future it will not be enough to possess the best weapons it will be necessary to know how to shoot them straight.

The federal courts of Chicago have rendered decision against special rate cutting, and Judge' Grosscup, i'll his comment, said: T believe that freight rates should be as steady as postage rates and that no discrinina- tion should be made. The person who turns over freight to a common car rier for transportation should be made to feel that he will enjoy the sane rates as any other shipper"

The logic of recent military opera
 tions and of the existing situation in
 military mechanics is that the future fighting unit will be the individual,
 says writer in the International
 Monthly. The rationale of this con-
 clusion is the irresistible logic of an accurate, long range firearm in the
 hands of q marksman. and it is iln-
 mensely to the credit of the American army and the personal efforts of a few officers-notably Lieutenant Col onel ". R. Livermore of the engi- neers, Major Stanhope E. Blunt of the ordnance corps, and Major H. c. Litchfield of the artillery-that marks manship has been emphasized and fairly enforced in the training of our troops. The introduction of this fea- ture was more natural and easy from our contact with frontier conditions and also on account of the small size of our army, but target practice is ex- pensive, and large military establish ments shrink from it on that account, yet if modern nations will read the handwriting on the Boer wall, they will shrink from it no longer, or it will be borne in upon them by the bit ter experiences of disaster. It will not do to decry the results of the South African struggle as proving nothing because of the smallness of the Boer armies and guerrilla nature of the op- erations. In the early phases of the war the Boer forces. although relative ly small, were yet armies acting both on the offensive and defensive, The movements that shut up White in Ladysmith were both stra- tegical and tactical: the operations against Butler were on n large scale and along an extended front; Methu- en's frontal attack on the NIodder riv- CT was an open field assault with ar

The Japanese government has been making experiments in malaria pre- vention on the island of Formosa, and found that in q battalion of soldiers entirely protected from mosquitoes there was not a single case of the dis ease, while ill another battalion, at the same time and place, but unpro- tected, there were 259 cases. This is the most positive proof of the fact that mosquitoes carry malaria, so far recorded.

City Council Will Not Create a Mo
nopolY Here.

Americas will not have a single pub
lie weigher, as suggested to the city
council in an effort to give this mo-
nopoly to a single individual, but in
stead any number Of weighers can per-
form that work by taking the pre-
scribed oath and paying a license tax.
The Gotten buyers and some of the
warehousemen objected to the propo-
eition to elect public weigher, who
would reweigh every bale OF cotton
stored in Americas, and protest to
that effect was made before the city
council yesterday. After hearing
from the cotton men present it was
the sense of the council that the buy
ers and all others could have their
own statesmen to reweigh cotton turn
ed out OF the warehouses; for ship
ment, or at the compress, each public
salesman to take the usual oath and
pay license tax.

SUDDEN DEATH OF s. H. CLARK
Expired Sunday Evening Without
Illness.

Mr.. s. 81. CLARK died suddenly Sun
day evening at his home here, wheth
or from natural causes or an overdose
OF opiate it is not known. He had
been in his usual good health, and
even on Sunday morning nothing I'M
usual was apparent. He was not ad'
dicted to the use of opiates, it is said,
and the fact that he took dose Sun
day morning, as stated generally yes
terday, might point to self-destru 9
ton. Mr.. Clark was well advanced
in years and is survived by wife, sor
and two daughters. He was employed
for nearly forty-fve years by the Gen.
trail Railroad, for many years as SUI
pervisor. Last week his connection
with the road was severed, whether
voluntarily or otherwise is not known,
and to this fact might be attributed
the rash act, if such it was. The flu
neral occurred yesterday afternoon.
