Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from cold and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If 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 dis
eases we have yet to learn of single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. 1t will cure cold or an at
tack of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Strehlke

Injunction Denied.

The case wherein the Wells Fargo
Company was praying for perma-
nent injunction against the Lily park
settlers until their troubles could be
settled in court, was heard in Pueblo
Wednesday before Judge Hallett.
The injunction was denied.
The settlers consider this as quite
n decisive victory MS they say it gives
them the crop this year. The set
tiers have possession and it looks as
though little short of a cyclone would
dislodge them. They are all sub
p9naed to Denver May 4th and later
developments will be anxiousIy
awaited. :

A Roswell Boomer.

Roswell is booming as never be-

bustling Chaves county town to the
Journal in this city yesterday. "Of
course Roswell has been prospecting
for several years, but recently the
discovery of the fact hat the arte-
sian water supply is practically in
exhaustible has given an impetus to
land values and attracted new resi-
dents to the city. Several new gush-
ers have been opened up within the
last few weeks and more are bor-
ing to tap the big subterranean res
ervoir which is rapidly making the
Pecos Valley o vast garden. The In
crease in the values OF real estate

STEEL TRUST TO EcoNoMIZE.
Meets to Settle the Details of Wage
Reductions.

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 12.-Today's
conference between the officials of
the United States Steel Corporation
and the heads of the constituent
is for the purpose of settling the de-
tails Of the wage reduction which
has been decided to be necessary in
view of the condition of the market.
From a reliable source it is learned
that the reduction will affect all de-
partments and include managers
all Office help as well as the
thousands of men employed in the
mills. In those mills employing I'M
ion men there is an agreement be-
tween the company and the Amalga-
mated Association prohibiting any
change in wages until the agreement
expires. 1t is expected. however, that
make wage concessions satisfactory
to the company. Should the a~ssocia-
ton decline to make such conces-
sions it is expected that the corpo-
will meet the difficulty by
closing down the union plants and
the non-union mills which. at
reduced wages. would be less ex-
pensive to operate.
