How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by q Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even at
ter the rough cough appears, and It
will dispel all symptoms Of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
thousands of mothers and has newer
been known to fail. It is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

THE CITY'S REGISTRATION.
Deputy County Clerk Moss Report Large

Deputy County Clerk Moss Report Large
Registration for Spring Election.
The registration of the city by personal
appearance before the deputy county
clerks appointed by County Clerks H. o.
Walker, has been completed and shows a
much larger registration than was esti-
mated upon. Mr.. Walker estimated that
the registration would not exceed 900 at
the highest, while the books show regis
tration of over 1856, with a possibility of
it reaching 100. This will be less by
nearly four hundred to the registration
of last fall for the reason that this is the
first registration of Idaho Springs as a
city of the second class. and in which
the registration has been confined strict
ly to the city limits. This will cut out
great many people who have heretofore
voted in city precincts, as follows:
Ward I, Precinct II, now stops at the
Big Five Tunnel, leaving out all those
living above, and the Fall River and
Trail creek sections.
Ward ?, Precinct II, will be about same
as last year.
Ward 8, Precinct IS, will cut out those
living on Wall street to the west of Vir-
ginia canon, while those to the east of
the canon and in Sunnyside can vote.
Ward d, Precinct ID, will lose nearly
all of the upper part of Virginia canon.
Ward S, Precinct IS, stops at the Wilkie
mill, cutting out Soda creek, Bear creek,
and beyond the city limits down Clear.
By confning the voting precincts to
the city limits the city loses some 600
votes heretofore registering in the city.
Nearly 500 new names or changes in
residence or of those not voting last fall.
1t is estimated that about 60 votes will be
lost in those not having secured second
papers as to citizenship, which now be-
comes necessary under the Barela amend
ment Mr.. Moss considers the registra-
ton large one under existing con di-
tions.

Drop a Line to Your Friend.

The Jackson Monument bill has been
reported out of the committee carrying
an appropriation for $1,000. This will
give the proposition start and while it
is is not what should have been given yet
the people should see that the measure
passes or that they do everything in their
power to help it along.
Drop line to any friend you have in
state office or who may be member of
either the house or senate. Ask them to
help the measure along and this will ac-
complish much toward helping out Sena-
tor Roberts, who is doing everything he
can to secure the passage of the bill.
There is little time to spare in the present
session and it is not improbable that the
bill will have to be advanced to get
through as it is. The legislative com
mittee of the chamber oil commerce can
get in some good work now and should
do so.
