Fifteen years ago the Mccormick
family lived in Wichita. the mother
died leaving four little children, the
father placed them all in good homes
and disappeared. Shortly after.
William Bowius, Il former resident of
this county, told James Mccormick
that his father had died in the eastern
part of the state. For fourteen years
he WAS supposed to- be dead. Last
week the boys received letter from
an uncle in Pennsylvania stating that
an agent of an insurance company
had been trying to make settlement
with HIS wife OF \ policy taken out in
her favor by James Mccormick who
had died in Argentine about the first
Of the year and giving the name Of

there was undoubtedly their father.

their father had married again and

The daily tribune., 1903-02-25
Since we last adverted to the sub.

Since we last adverted to the sub
ject a bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives which pro-
poses to give the president 800, 600
instead of $50, 900 year. Such a law
of coarse, would not be applicable
to Mr.. Roosevelt during his present
term of office, but it would benefit
the president elected in 1904. We
need not recapitulate the grounds on
which we have pronounced the present
salary of our chief magistrate unrea-
sonably small, when it is compared
with the dignity and Importance of
the office, with the unparalleled re-
sources of the United States, and
with the sums paid in much poorer
countries for minor services. The
governor general of Canada, who is q
mere figurehead, gets $50, 200 year,
while President Loubet, whose func-
ton. compared with Mr.. Roosevelt IS.
is that of dummy-the ministers
under the French system doing all
the work and welding nearly all the
power-receives $250,000 year,
besides the use of the palaces of the
Elysee and Fontainebleau, which are
kept up at the expense of the state.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, and
if the salaries of Mr.. Roosevelt and
NJ. Loubet were to be proportional to
the work and responsibility imposed,
the formers pay should be at least
ten times AS great as that of the latter.
The proposal made in the house of
representatives to double the presl-
dents salary may be criticised, if
criticised at all, on the score of ex-
eessive moderation-H Harper's Weekly.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measure. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
op3 of the most dangerous diseases
tl,at medical men have to contend
with. can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from ali attack of influenza (grip,
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia oft
en- results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy rs soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For
