Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots

report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scots
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
hen the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course its
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in MONKEYS
and in man is the same disease.

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every nelghbOrhood, One
If the most troublesome things in the
world is TO be awakened in the middle of
the night by a Thoop from Cne of the

as sure TO be lost, in case Of Group, as n
revolver is sure to be lost in case of bur-
glars. There used to be an old-fashioned d
remedy for cro1p, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some mOdern mothers say
that Chamterlain's Cough remedy is
better, and does not cost as much. 1t
causes tie patient to throw up the
phlegm' quicker, and. give rclet in d
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

SURPRISE FOR THE OIL MEN
Decision in Favor of Railroad Com
pany Takes Them ON Their
Feet

EVANSTON, Wyo., Dec. 3.-(Special. y
Had a bomb exploded in Evanston no more
surprise could have been caused than by
the announcement from Washington that
the secretary Of the interior mad decided
the Spring Valley oil land contest case.
which was brought by the American Con-
solidated Oil company against the Union
Pacific railroad to prove that the land in
question was more valuable for oil mining
than for other urposes, in favor OF the
railroad company. The character OF the
ground, and the undisputable proof OF the
existence of oil in paying quantities for the
oil company, and with this belief. not only
the American company, but many other con-
Germs have gone ahead with DEVELOPMENT
work and have spent thousands of dollars
in the vicinity of Spring Valley.
Just what will be done in this matter
is not known. At present the oil men
are simply paralyzed at the UNEXPECTED
decision against them. But much will de-
pend upon the action OF the Union Pacific.
II the railroad chooses to sell its lands. or
permit the development of same for an in
terest in the product, the trouble may be
settled amicably, but on the other hand. II
the oil men are ordered away they will
continue the fight for what they believe
Is ~rightfully their own by virtue Of To-
cation under the mineral laws CT the United
States and will carry the contest TO the

Cleaning on the sidewalks.

thief NJ Police Tibbits was fsmiliariE-
ing himself yesterday with the provisions
OF the city ordinance relative to the re-
moval OF snow and ice from sidewalks,
which he stated he intended TO enforce as
far as practical. Following the sleet Of
Tuesday the sidewalks yesterday were al
most solid sheets Of ice, and in but very
few instances had any attempt in the busi-
ness section OF the city been made to clean
them.
The ordinance governing the matter pro-
vides that the occupant Of each and every
basement or building in said city fronting
upon any street or sidewalk, or the owner
of airy unoccupied lot fronting as sfore-
said. shall clear the sidewalk OF snow and
ice by 8 o'clock. and every person emitting
to clear off said sidewalk shall forfeit and
pay the sum or not more than $40 for
every twelve hours such sidewalk shall re-
main encountered after notice from the
Mayor, any alderman or any police officer
of said city"
Another section Of the same ordinance
provides for the cleaning Of snow from
cutters by occupants OF a~butting buildings,
but no attempt has ever been made to en-
force 1t and Chief Tibbits says he will be
content IL people will only clean off their
sidewalks. The p%atrolmen will be in
structed to notify occupants Of all business
houses to comply with the ordinance.
