coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy and when
the coughing spell would come on at
night | would take a dose and IL
seemed that in the briefest interval
the cough would pass of and would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most agree
able surprise is putting II very mildly.
| had no idea that II would or could
knock out the grip. simply because

TO NINE ITS OWN COAL.
Rock Island Takes Charge Of Hsrts.
horne and Gowen Mines.


South McAlester. |. T.. Mar. 1S.-
The Rock Island railroad today took
charge of the Choctaw mines at Harts-
horne and Cowen, which have hither-
to been managed for the railroad by
the McAlester Coal Co. under a con-
tract made with the old owners of the
Choctaw ra lroad. Ever since the
Rock Island bought the Choctaw there
have been rumors of cancellation of
the contract with the coal company,
which was regarded as ever favorable
to the managers, the railroad bearing
all the expense of mining and the coal
company being paid six cents per ton
for coal mined merely for manage
ment. The contract had six years
to run, but has been rellnquished on
the payment of $4,000 in cash and
the assignment of the lease to 4SC
acres of coal land west of Gowen
owned by the railroad.
The Choctaw railroad after some
experience with operating its own
mines, made the contract with the
coal company and the change indicates
that 1t is the settled policy of the
Rock Island to operate its own mines
the work being under the charge oI
Carl Schulz of Little Rock, superin
tendent of mining and general fue
agent.
