The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison (Kans.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most terri
BILE things in the world is to be awall-
ened in the middle of the night by Il
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 syr-
up and tolu. but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Kennedy is better, and does not cost
so much. 1t 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. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,

my name love.
The leader was listening now, beat
ing time absentmindedly. What voice
was that he heard? No singer of ma
tional or even world wide reputation
possessed it, for he knew them all.
Was it a discovery? Could he locate
the singer, meet her, and bring a new
contralto of such magnificent power
to the knowledge of the world?
/ love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and tempted hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
The first violin noted the leaders
abstraction, and spoke sharply to
him. Again his arms went up, and he
led the time for the third stanza;
but again that voice, as clear and dis
tinct as that of the great soprano
who led the chorus:
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedoms song.
The leader turned his back to the
orchestra and looked into the faces of
the multitude. The first violin shut
his teeth, bore down hard on the
strings, and pulled the great volume
of sound along with him; but the
leader knew it not. He was searching
for that voice in the multitude; that
eontralto that sang straight into his
soul as no contraIto had ever done in
his professional career:
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake.
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
The leaders arm leaped into the
air, but they were extended over the
multitude. Orchestra and chorus
were behind him. His white
gloved hands descended sharply, and
the last wave of the sound broke
over the auditorium:
Our fathers God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing.
She, standing by her husband, saw
the movement and thought it a com
pliment to the multitude that the
leader should face them for the last
stanza. She sang till even those
about her turned to look; sang
straight at the leader, and wondered
why his nervous eyes danced about
so. And look, he is stopping! The
first violin is bowling and marking the
timel The leader is listening, look

singing MY Country, 'Tis of Thee"
She was pleased when she read il,
for now she could sing once with
her whole heart and her whole soul
and be one voice in multitude of
singers.
The grand leader was weary, for
the audience had gone wild in its
patriotism and had insisted on many
repetitions. It's enthusiasm had af-
fected the great chorus and caused
the singers to get slightly ahead of
the orchestra, damaging the har-
mony. He was glad that but one
number remained. Lifting his hands
over the orchestra, every man made
ready and waited; lifting them high
er, the great chorus, which was bank
ed behind. came to IT'S feet with much
rustling of dresses and shaking out of
scores. Behind him the vast audi
ence rose. Then, as the leader held
his arms ready for the first beat,
there was a silence of expectancy.
Down came his arms. and burst
of sound filed the wide auditorium.
Orchestra, chorus, and audience
voiced the opening words of the ma
tional hymn, together. exact, harmo-
NOUS:
My country, tits of thee
The conductors whole soul went
into the volume of sound. He led,
feeling that the movements of his
arms were bringing these sounds into
existence. He was playing on mag
nificent instrument-the grandest
musical Instrument in creation-a
singing multitude.
Sweet land of liberty
The leader swayed from side TO side
with the sway of the music.

What was that? In the multitude
of sound the leader detected a tone,

ed ear told him that it was Il woman's
voice. n contralto of uneXcelled
sweetness. He listened.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrims pride,
From ev'ry mountainside--
The voice was in the great chorus.
Tt was in the multitude behind him.
He turned his head and heard the last
line, full and true, as though the I'M
known singer stood at his elbow:
Let freedom ringl
The leaders heart beat-high as his
arms descended and the second stan

KING OSCAR
Decides Samoan Controversy in Favor
Of Germany.

VI 0CAA
Washington Special to N. Y. Tribune.
King Oscar of Sweden and Norway has
decided the Samoan controversy in favor
of Germany. This fact became known to-
day on the return of Mr.. Grip. the Minis
ter of Sweden and Norway from long
visit to his home. MIR. Grip called at
did not, of course, disclose the decision
of his sovereign, which must be formally
presented simultaneously to the three
powers concerned.
The announcement will be astonishing
to the Governments of the United states
and Great Britain, which were confident
until today that they had fully estab-
lished the legality and propriety OF the
Joint landing of marines at Apia in 1893
to sustain the decree of the Samoan
Supreme Court and end the revolution.
The full scope of the arbitral decree
of King Oscar is not yet divulged, and the
extent to which it covers the claims for
damages filed by the citizens of the three
countries and of France may not be
known for several days. These claims,
which were nominally the prime cause for
arbitration. are insignificant, however
compared with the question of national
honor. on which they depended. and
which, If the contention Of the United
States and Great Britain had been sus-
tanned by the royal ar5iter. would have
fallen to the ground The result, coming
so soon after the decree in the Pious Fund
case tends to emphasize the vast benefits
to all nations resulting from The Hague
convention which, II Is now coming to be
realized, provides the long-sought salts
factory and impartial methods of arriving
at the merits OF disputes.

CREAM of the SPECIALS
LIFE INSURANCE FRAUDS.
Graveyard Schemes in New Orleans
District Unearthed.

0AaVoyaTu schemes IN new OIiSdnS
District Unearthed.
New Orleans Special to Chicago Record
Herald.
Life insurance frauds of most
sensational character are said to
have been discovered in the New Orleans
district Officials and detectives of some
OF the large eastern companies believe
they have clews to at least half a dozen
OF the boldest graveyard schemes.
Attorney MacBride, general solicitor for
the American Adjustment Company of
New York, reached the city last night,
the advance guard Of a corps of secret
workers. and as followed to-day by half
a dozen detectives from the same city.
30 far Fix of the graveyard cases are
said to have been uncarthei and twenty
two fraudulent policies have been traced
down. The companies paying the risks
have lost between SIS. 900 and $4,000. The
full extent of the business is not yet
Known. The frauds appear to have turn
ficers on the trails do not even dare con-
lecture to what extent they have gone.
The scheme that has been worked in
New Orleans and within a radius sf $50
miles Of this city Is this: man would
apply for the agency of one Of the best
known of the life insurance companies,
and producing recommendations of an
apparently satisfactory nature, would be
appointed. AT his suggestion physician
would be named as examiner for the COM
pany to pass upon all applicants for poll
cies.
The physician and the agent understand
each other and the deal that is to be
worked A graveyard case is run in
that Is a policy holder who will soon die.
The physician passes him and he takes
out the policy. As matter OF fact the
agent and the doctor pay the premiums
and the principal is made payable to them
or to some interested friends. In few
months the policy holder dies. the proper
death certificate is sent to the company
and the policy paid.

perity throughout the South is the fact
that it no longer seems far from markets.
Larger cities are springing up in every
Southern State furnishing local markets
for all small products of the farm, and
every Gulf as well as Atlantic port Is
now annually increasing its facilities for
exporting Southern farm products to
European markets. Still another
pointer in the direction Of an advance in
Southern lands is the fact that Northern
farmers are no longer prejudiced against
Southern climate. In nearly every South
ern community pay be found families
that have immigrated from some of the
Northern States. They are now citizens
of the South. Within the last
sixty days an unusual interest has sprung
up among bankers, lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants. real estate agents and railroad
men throughout the Northwest in the
matter of Southern land investments, es-
pecially in the cotton districts, and
already a number of cotton plantations
have been purchased by Northern men
and will be leased to colored tenants"
Men with eyes to see and ears to hear
are coming in from every quarter. 1t is
only a question of a few years when lands
of the South and other blessings of the
sunny side of the country will hold their
proper places in the markets. 1t has
taken years to bring it about, but the
change in favor of the South is now well
along.
