Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. It is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. It
has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
in recent years, and can be relied up
on with implicit confidence. Pneu'
monia often results from a slight cold
when no danger is apprehended un-
til it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

WITH PEACE. POWERS

Washington, Feb. 16.-Minister
Bowen expects. to begin Immediately
the preparation of the protocols with
the representative of the unallied
powers for the settlement of the
claims of the nations who have suf-
fered as q result of the troubles in
Venezuela. There are eight of these
claimants including the United States.
The drawing up of the protocol with
this nation will be the first attended
to. Solicitor General Proctor will rep
resent the United States in this work.
1t is Mr.. Bowen's belief that matters
will now move forward with greater
rapidity than they did with the repre-
sentatives of the allied powers who
were enforcing the blockade against
Venezuela. Negotiations with France
will follow those with the United
States, and so on until protocols with
all unallied creditor nations shall
have been completed. The suggestion
has been made that as the unallied
nations naturally are opposed to any
preferential treatment to Germany,
Italy and Great Britain, that in all

probability venezuela, the United
States and France will be lined up as
representing the eight unallied ma
tions at The Hague as opposed to the
three allies.
Mr.. Bowen continues to receive nu-
merous congratulatory dispatches
from Venezuela on the outcome of his
work here. One of these he prizes
most highly is from the project, which
reads as follows:
LA Guayra, Venezuela, Feb. 49,
The citizens of La Guayra, through
me, felicitate you as the great and
good friends of Venezuela"
Various efforts have been made by
representatives of big financial houses
in this country to sound Mr.. Bowen
as to his views on the question of
financing the debt of Venezuela,
which will be the result of the adjudi-
cation of the claims by the several
mixed tribunals. Mr.. Bowen, how
ever, has informed all that his mission
is diplomatic and he could not consid-
err the financial features of the mat
ter.

prospect of selling it had anything tc
do with his making the statement
He answered that it had not.
The county attorney said afterward
that if the statement had been made
with a prospect of getting money for
it the effect would be spoiled so for
as the law is concerned, but Cole had
told him the thought of getting mon
ey out of it was an afterthought.
Mr.. Breen will not file an informa.
ton against the two men at present
When asked last night if he intended
to proceed against them without de.
lay, he replied that he would not file
any charges at present-that there
was no hurry about it. '"They are safe
enough where they are" said he, land
it may be that something else will
come up in connection with the case
When an information is filed it will
likely contain several charges, a sufl-
cient number in fact to insure both
men a long term in the pen. They
will probably be charged with high
way robbery, assault in the first de-
gree and interference with the Unit
ed States mail. For each shot fired
they can be charged with assault in
the first degree. In the case of
Howard prior conviction will be add
ed. OF this fact Howard is aware
and is anxious to escape the penalty.
Knows Nothing of Them.
Dan O'Donnell was questioned yes
terday with reference to the knowl-
edge he possessed about the men,
but he steadfastly maintained that he
knew nothing. He said he had never
spoken a dozen words to either of
them. AS to their presence at his
house, he said it was his custom to
feed men who had nothing with
which to feed themselves, and that he
had taken them there to give them
something to eat. Asked if it was
not an expensive proposition, he said
he worked steadily as a bartender at
Atkinsons' saloon, and besides, his
wife kept a boarder or two, from
whom she got some money. He said
he had seen the men in the saloon
in which he was employed, but had
never heard them planning the train
robbery. or the commission of any
other %offense. He said he knew moth
ing about the material out of which
the masks were made, but probably
the dressmaker who had been work
ing at his house might know m
thing about it.

Howard Cole, one of the men under
arrest at Butte on the charge of hold
ing up and robbing the Burlington
train nea that place, is not unknown
to some of the people of this city.
About two years ago he was one
of the principals to a prize fight at
the Topic theatre. His opponent was
a man of the name Of Johnson. Cole
was nc more of a success at prize
fighting that at train robbing and at
ter the first round he failed to re-
spond. He refused absolutely to go
against Johnson more than one round,
even after being threatened with a
whipping by his second.

INTENDED TO MURDER PAL

Butte, Feb. 1S.-Long Tom Will
on the charge of being implicated in
the Burlington train robbery, made
a statement to the effect that it was
the intention to kill Cole, another Of
the robbers in Jail here, in the event
that any considerable amount of
booty had been secured. Williams
says that this would have been neces-
sary as Cole is a man who has not
sense enough to keep his mouth shut,
even at the risk of serving a long

Immediate action, and as there was
no opposition, Mr.. Cortelyou was con-
firmed.
Few in American public life today
are more widely or. more f~avora1ly
known than Secretary George Bruce
Cortelyou. For years he has occupied
a prominent place in the interest of
the people, and the exemplary manner
in which he has met every emergency
that has arisen before him has won
for him the cordial esteem lot only
Of those with whom he has been in
timately associated, personally and Of
tieially, but also of the body of the
American public to whom he is known
merely by reputation
Something of the New Secretary.
Secretary Cortelyou is a man of
attractive personality, a scholar of
ability and admirable training, and a
public official of genius. In politics
he is a stanch republican, but his
present political position has been
achieved rather by merit than by po-
litical favor. He has set a high stand
ard as secretary to the president. He
is the personification of courtesy, is
invariably kind and obliging, and may
be depended on always to say and do
the right thing. He combines rare
tact with brilliant executive ability,
and his capacity for work amazes all
with whom he comes in contact.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in New
1Olh Clly Ou July 20, 1907. Tie is
descended from a distinguished fam
lily, his ancestors being among the
leaders in the colonial and revolu-
tionary history of the state of New
York. From early childhood he was
an earnest student, and his home
training and associations were of the
best. After attending public and
private schools, including the old
Moravian school at Nazareth, Pa, he
was graduated at the Hampstead in
stitution, and three years later com
pleted his preliminary education at
the state normal school in Westfield,
Mass. On leaving the normal school
he entered the New England Con-
servatory of Music to continue the
musical studies which he had begun !
in early life. Subsequently he be-
came a pupil of DR.. Louis Mas, con-
ductor of the Boston Philharmonic So
ciety. 1t is not generally known, but
it is quite true, that Mr.. Cortelyou

is an accomplished musician, a thor
ough student of the best composers,
and a musical critic of are ability.
Studies stenography.
In order to equip himself for an
active business career, Mr.. Cortelyou,
while continuing his musical studies,
began the study of s~tenography, and
was graduated at Walwrc h ias lutte
in New York. While a aching as an as
sistant in the Walwroth school he took
the clinical course in the New York
hospital. He became widely known
as an expert medical s~tenographer,
and in association with James F. Mum
son, author Of the Munson system of
photography, reported many notable
cases in the courts of New York. His
official career in the government may
be said to have begun in 1889, when
he became private secretary to the
p%ostoffice inspector in charge of New
York. After serving the surveyor of
the port of New York as confidential
stenographer he came to Washington
in July, 1891, as private secretary to
the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral. His record in the p~ostofice de-
partment was such that in 1895 Pres
ident Cleveland appointed him his ex-
ecutive clerk and confidential steno-
grapher. He served President Nc
kinley in the same capacity until
1898, when, on account of the vastly
increased amount cf work at the
white house, he vas appointed assist
ant secretary to the president. On
the retirement of John Addison Por-
ter, MI. Cortelyou was named as sec
rotary to the president. The wisdom
Of Mr.. McKinley's choice has been
demonstrated thoroughly.
In the Trying Days.
While Mr.. Cortelyou's ability was
appreciated before the assassination
of President Mckinley, the work per-
formed by him during all the anxious
days at Buffalo revealed an entirely
unexpected phase of his character.
His relations with President McKin.
ley were those of tender regard and
affectionate friendship. Notwith-
standing hiS personal sufferir z, his
outward demeanor was unruffed. He
preserved his composure, looked after
every detail, provided every care for
the stricken president, comforted the
afflicted wife and kept the anxious
public informed of the condition of
the distinguished sufferer from hour
to hour, day and night. In the pres
ence of a heart-consuning sorrow he
performed this wonderful work, only
his smile was absent. Otherwise he
was the same courteous, affable Cor
telyou.
1t was at the personal request of
President Roosevelt that Mr.. Cortel-
you continued as secretary to the pres
ident, and in naming him as the first
secretary of the new department of

him to a position in the cabinet the
president has done gladly that which
Mr.. Mckinley probably would have
done had he been permitted to pro-

Mr.. Cortelyou have been inundated
with congratulations from all Sec
lions and classes of the country on
the appointment, and the senate

imously on the day it was received.
