A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard
and main reliance in the treatment of
Group in thousands of homes, yet during
all this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which it
failed to effect cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even as soon as the croupy cough APP
pears, it will prevent the attack. 1t is
pleasant to take, many children like it.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be be given as con-
fdently to a baby as to an adult. For
sale by Richard Gibson, druggist.

calls America "Parvenusn

Berlin, Septic. The Neuste Nachrich-
en- commenting on the presence of the
American squadron at Beirut, and the
actions of Ambassador Leishman at Con-
stantinople dubs the United States as
country of "parvenus. The paper says:
Americas victory over Spain has mis-
led the United States to believe that she
can interfere everywhere. The Ameri-
can attitude at Beirut has been as vulgar
as a paryenu's manners appear in polite
society. The United States is intruding
on the sphere of the Balkans as a par
venu pushes his way into circles where
he is uDwelcome. Europe despises the
United States as a nobleman disdains
parvenu. President Roosevelt is par
venu ruler, and the American policy
shows that America is a parvenu coun-
try"

Terrorized BY Labor Unions.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2.-'Prominent
business men of Chicago are in such
terror of labor unions that they refuse to
make afiidavits against the labor

This was the declaration of A. C. Allen
in Judge Chytraus' Court yesterday
when he presented a bill in which John
NJ. Stiles, painting contractor, asks for
an injunction against unions of building
craftsmen to restrain them from contin-
uing a boycott which has ruined his

New York Stock Market.

New York, Sept 12.-The stock
market of this morning just stopped
short of absolute stagnation. The deal
ings were on an unusually small scale,
even for half holiday occasion, and
they were wholly of professional char
acter. There was some steadiness to
prices at the start, but in a short time
sagging tendency was developed, al
though the recessions generally we're
confined to fractions. st. Paul opened
up J per cent, but soon lost more than
the gain. Reading enjoyed moderate
rally. New York Central opened J per
cent but subsequently rose point.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, was almost the
only feature of local traction group los
ing Il per cent. The industrial list,
the United States Steel stocks showed
heaviness, and Amalgamated Copper
was fractionally lower. The speculation
is now dull, with traders waiting for
some motive from the character of the
bank statement. Government bonds
unchanged.

SINCE HIS appointment as Postmaster
General. the Gazette has held that Mr..
PAYNE was taken into the Cabinet to do
III, political work of the President-in
the Presidents interest. The Todd
postmaster case in Delaware proves this
to be so and the position in which Mr..
Roosevelt has placed himself is well set
forth by the Philadelphia Record, which
says:
The President had better not investi-
gate the Todd case. To approve of 1t
would be to go back on his entire record
and all his principles; to disapproye OF
il would be to break with the Postmaster
General. Mr.. Payne could hardly re-
main in the Cabinet if the President
should order the reinstatement OF Miss
Todd. Besides, to do that would be to
array the union republicans against the
administration, and the President needs
the support OF Just such organizations as
the Addicks gang. Theodore Roosevelt,
apostle of political reform, heartily dis
approves the methods of the union re-
publicans. President Roosevelt, candi-
date for another term, appreciates their
importance. The President knows per
fectly well that he took Mr. Payne into
his official family to do just such work
as this. Mr. Payne had reputation as
a shrewd, successful and not too
scrupulous political manager, and Mr.
Roosevelt put him at the head of the
branch of the public service which con-
trolls the largest amount Of patronage in
order that the Offices should be used to
secure his nomination Mr.. Payne is
doing the political dickering in Mr..
Rooseyelt's interest which he was APP
lOinted to do.

The LEGAL fraternity Of the country
has been considerably stirred up by the
radical antitrust attitude taken in an
unanimous report Of the committee on
commercial law before the American Bar
Association at Hot Springs, recently.
In making the report Mr.. Walter ;.
Logan, Of New York, said that if the
trusts were allowed to grow as at present
important changes in the principles Of
commercial laws would be made necos-
sary. The lawyers would have to settle
the question. If they did not the
demagogues would. The committee
proposes to tax the trusts to death, to
compel them to render better and cheaper
service aud to have the State enter into
the industrial field as a producer and
compete with the trusts.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. p, 1908.

SMOOTH sailing for the eleventh Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, which will
be in session at Ogden, Utah, Septem-
her 1918. is in danger of interruption.
The delegation of government officials
headed bv Secretary Wilson, represent
ing the Department of Agriculture,
promises to be responsible for the rough
seas. From high official OF the De
partment of Agriculture information has
been obtained that opposing recommen-
dations regarding irrigation legislation
will be presented to the Fifty-eighth
Congress. Prominent officials are con-
WINGED that the attitude Of the irrigation
congress is in favor of the large land
grabber. While government officials
have gone to Utah, ostensibly to make
speeches indorsing the general PROPOSE
ton of national irrigation, the real
reason for this visit it is said is to learn
the full plans of the great land compan-
les which are supporting this congress.
Government officials, it is understood,
want to discover for themselves whether
it will be safe to divulge the plans for
the government work. There is appre-
hension that this information will enable
the land companies on the scenes Of the
government labors to gobble up great
tracts in the vicinity of the big bitches
The national appropriations are to be
used in retaining. The result Of the
land grabbing will be, it is feared, fatal
70 the ambition of this and former adj
ministrations. Instead Of furnishing
homes to landless millions, the danger
is that the only valuable lands for settle
ment will be in the hands ofspeculators
who will hold them at such big prices as
to discourage small settlers, or they Will
90 to make huge ranches and landed eS-
tates, thus preventing full settlement
and development Of the West.

MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.

William P. Harris, ofIron Gate, Va,
was shot and killed early yesterday
morning on freight train of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway near Gladstone,
twenty-five miles east of Lynchburg.
Members of the train crew heard sew
eral pistol shots "a the train was dashing
along, but they paid no attention to the
noise and were not aware that any seri-
GUS trouble had occurred until the train
reached Gladstone, when they found the
dead body of Harris lying on car. He
had been shot and evidently instantly
killed. How the tragedy occurred is a
mystery. The unfortunate mans watch
is missing, but some money, which he
had, was found untouched. Two ne
groes, Law Young and William Muir
phey, who are suspected, were arrested
in Lynchburg while beating their way
West. They were at Gladstone when
the body was found. They declare,
however, that they know nothing of the
shooting. There is much excitement at
Gladstone, and a crowd Of several hun
dred people have been waiting there for
the arrival of the two negroes. The
Lynchburg authorities. however, would
not incur the responsibility Of carrying
the negroes to Gladstone, but they will
be taken there today by e Gladstone
official. Trouble is feared. Harris had
been employed with the American
Bridge Company in Richmond, and was
on his way to visit his wife and two
children.

Philadelphia, and occasionally resided
in New York. While no one of his
visits he made the acquaintance Of Teresa

and two men were seen running from
the house. Rainio was found dead in
the hallway, having been shot through
the back of the head. Near the body

Struggle for Commercial Supremacy.

Berlin, Sept. 12.-Three of the lead
ing banks of Germany, the Deutche, the
Disconto and the Bleichsroeders, are
completing an organization for opposi
ton to the Standard Oil Company. The
banks will assume control of the two
principal Roumanian petroleum COM
panies as well as a number of Galician
petroleum firms and they expect to ex-
tend their operations to Russia. They
are confident that the enormous capital.

petroleum industries to the highest level
Of prosperity. The contst is regarded as
the forerunner of many colossal struggles

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION AND CATHO-
Lie CHURCH. Catholic members of the
Typographical Union of Omaha have
called meeting for tomorrow afternoon
to discuss the attitude of the church to
ward the VOW taken by union men,
bers. Condemnation of this vow by
Bishop Scanned has added greatly 10 the
excitement. One-third of the union at
Omaha are Catholics. Most Of them in
terviewed yesterday expressed determi-
nation to stand by the union.
John Anderson, prominent both as a
Catholic and as a member of the Typo
graphical Union, said: "All printers
know why the Objectionable words have
been placed in the obligation. 1t seems
to me late in the day to take up the
cudgel against the union. Tue very
persons the clergy is supposed to be
closest to would be the ones to be injur-
ed. For me, stand by the union in
any event"
Frank Kennedy, editor of the Western
Laborer, said: 81 venture to say that not
one Catholic printer in Omaha, and few
in America, will give up union for abso
luton"
"The man who takes the oath of the
International Typographical Union de-
MES to himself the right to the sacra-
ments of the Catholic church" Thus
spoke yesterday Rev. Father T. F. Lii
lis, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, in
Omaha, and acting coadjutor of that do
cese.
The part of the oath which the Catho-
lie church objects to is as follows: only
fidelity to the union and my duty to the
members thereof shall in no sense be in
terfered with by any allegiance that I
may now or hereafter owe to any other
organization, social, political, or religi-
Gus, secret ar otherwise"

AntomobiIe as a Mob Dispenser.

Chicago, Sept IA bucking red
automobile scattered 4 crowd Of riotous
strikers last night, after the efforts Of a
score of policemen had been unavailing.
Strikers had assembled to prevent de-
livery wagons from removing goods that
had accumulated in the Berry candy fac
tory since the strike there began. When
the wagons were driven out they were
surrounded by the strikers who tried to
tip the vehicles on their sides. Although
the police used their clubs vigorously
they were unable to force a path for the
wagons. When Berry appeared in the
red automobile which he has used for
several days to transport the non-union
men to and from their work, he in turn
was attacked. Berry is an expert chauf-
feur, and as the strikers ran toward the
machine it began series of circles inter
spersed with side and high jumps. Eff
forts to seized the machine resulted in
falls or being hurled to the walk, and in
five minutes Berry had the crowd scatter
ed and had paths made through which
the drivers calmly drove away.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. r.

THE PREsBYTERIANs Rev. r. +.
Coyle, moderator of the General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church, who has
just returned to his home in Denver from
a lecture tourin the East, believes that
the time is not far distant when the
twelve different Presbyterian Churches
in the United States will become one.
This probability, be says, is due to the
reconstructing of the creed Of his denom-
ination, which took place last May. Cal
whistle and Armenian lines, which have
so long kept his and the Cumberland
Presbyterian Churches separated, have
now, he says been efiaced, and at pres
ent no distinction other than ceremonial
separates the two great religious orders
that began as one in the days of Crom-
we'll.

Wife Murder and Suicide.

Washington, D. c., Sept. l2.-Her-
man f. Denham, letter carrier, shot
and killed his wife at his home, 426 Sth
street, northeast, this morning. He had
been in the postal employ for 10 years.
He was SO years old and 6 years ago
he married Willie Mae Kilgore, the
daughter of Judge Kilgore, of Newberry,
S. G. His wife's father and mother have
been living with them for some time.
The only reason for the tragedy that can
be assigned is insane jealousy on the
part of Denhan. He recently spent his
vacation at Colonial Beach with his wife
and her parents, and seemed to be in
excellent spirits. At o'clock this
morning Judge Kilgore was awakened
by pistol shot. He rushed into his
daughter room and found her lying on
the bed dead, with shot through her
temple Denham was beside her, hav-
ing shot himself Glso through the temple.
The pistol was lying on the floor near
his hand. Denham was an extremely
homely man and his wife was quite
pretty. On this account he had often
expressed himself as fearful that she
would tire of him.
