Danger or Cold. and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however. and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases, we have yet to learn
of n single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that ii is a certain preventive of that
dangerous malady. 1t will cure n
cold or an attack of In grippe in less
time than any other treatment. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by all druggists.

go TO BUY A BOAT
FOR THE SAND COMPANY

EX-Mayor William McConochie and
Aid. f. ID. Gall left this morning for
points on the Illinois river for the
purpse of purchasing n small steam
boat and barges for use by the Rock
Island Sand q Gravel company.
The lease of the Lone Star is mere
ly temporary and has been negotiated
i'm order to start business as soon as
possible after the ice stops running.
1t is the intention to get a boat and
fit il out with the necessary machin-
cry, which will, of course, consume
several weeks.
II is understood there will be a
merry war between the new concern
and the Tropp-Darling company over
outside business. and il looks as
though sand will be n cheaper com
modify i'm this locality this season
than ever before.
