Danger of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds
and la grippe is their resulting in
pneumonia. IL reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger
will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases, We have
yet to learn of a single case having
resulted i'll pneumonia, which shows
.conclusively that it is certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous malady.
1t will cure cold or an attack of la
grippe in less time than any other
treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by w. j. Cox,

be discontinued and the new style In
troduced In the year 1859. "~'

Sweetheart and Himself at

Springfield, Mo-, July 2S.-Charles
Woyley, aged Is, of Norwood, Mo-, shot
and killed Miss Josephine Sheridan, his
former sweetheart, at her home here,
and then shot and killed himself. Miss
Sheridan and her sister were enter
tanning friends in the back yard when
Weyley rang the door bell. Miss Sheri-
dan went through the house to the
front door, and almost Immediately
four shots were heard. When mem
bers of the family reached the spot a
minute later both the girl and Weyley
were dead, stretched side by side on
the porch. Miss Sheridan had been
shot through the heart, while the top
of Weylev's head had been torn off,
Jealousy probably prompted Weyley
to shoot Miss Sheridan and then him
self. They had known each other for
four years, and up to a month ago had
been engaged to be marriedA

Five Vessels Are Wrecked by Ter
rifle Tornado in the Gulf
of California;

: San Francisco, July 30.-A special
from Tucson, Ariz., says that a cy-
clone visited the gulf of California
on Thursday night, wrecking vessels
and damaging many buildings in the
coast cities. The wires have been
down and news of the disaster has
just been received. At Guaymas FIVE
vessels in the bay were dashed ashore
and sunk. Two of them, Ell Luella
and Ell Gravina, were large steamers
engaged in coastwise trade.
The public building, containing the
offices of the harbor master and col
lector of customs, was destroyed by
the cyclone. The residence of the
English vice consul was unroofed and
otherwise wrecked. The new munich
pal hall and city prison were dam
aged. The streets of Guaymas in
many places were strewn with fallen
trees and wreckage.
At Mazatlan, the Pomery Ruby, a
large passenger steamer, was driven
ashore and sunk. Five passengers
were drowned and the rest reached
the shore on wreckage and driftwood
Another large vessel in the bay was
also damaged by the cyclone. Be-
tween Guaymas and Mazatlan a great
deal of wreckage drifted ashore, and
it is supposed that many small yes
sells were wrecked and a large num-
Der of lives lost.
