Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
nf Chamharlnin,n CouRh Remedy.

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of ChamberIAin's Cough Remedy.
'When / had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) L actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, N. Y. This is the
honest truth. 1 at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night 1 would take a dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and /
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. 1 had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because 1 had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did. and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and I had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

Misunderstood
Tri- City Labor Congress EVIDENT
ly Misinformed on Street
Car Bill.
FORMER PRESIDENT so BELIEVES
Tri-City Company's improvements on
This Side OF the River at
StandstiII.

+. c. Berry, former president of the
Tri-City Labor congress, and editor
of the Tri-City Unionist. speaking of
Sundays action of the congress rela-
tive to the legislat tive relief sought by
the Tri-City Railway company, fully
substantiated the view taken by The
Argus of last evening. In discussing
the matter The Argus expressed the
belief that the congress had not, per-
haps, as clear an understanding of
the situation as it should have had.
as there exists no reason to think
that the congress or any other organ
ization in the community desires to
see an institution like the Tri-City
Railway company denied reasonable
consideration at all times.
Mr.. Berry Talks.
THE labor congress took the action
it aid Sunday under misapprehen-
sion, l am sure" said Mr.. Berry this
morning. The impression that was
put into the minds of those who at
tended Sundays meeting was that the
pending bill at Springfield has for its
purpose the making of the existing
franchises of the Tri-City Railway
company perpetual. The congress
very naturally, and quite rightly, l
think, entered its protest against such
a measure. But the bill, | am now
convinced, simply seeks to repose in
the Tri-City company the rights and
privileges acquired by ordinance and
which the effect of the supreme court
ruling is to disturb. For my part. l
do not think the congress intended
to take any action against such a
proposition"
Davenport Gaining Advantage
While the Tri-City company is sus-
pending its track improvements and
extensions in Rock Island-and de-
laying operations on its much needed
Longview loop-pending a solution
of franchise matters on this side of
the river. Davenport is going ahead
binding the company to make fur
ther extensions in that city. Last
night the company accepted an ordi-
nance for a big new loop in North
west Davenport which, unless the
company gets action on the work
laid out here soon. will take all the
iron and other construction material
ordered for the new lines provided
for in this city. and much of which is
already on the ground. Meanwhile
the public suffers. - j

of Thatchers island. On the return trip
the big battleship made n remarkable re-
cord. From the lightship that marks the
outer edge of Nantucket Shoals to the
Five Fathom Bank lightshp off the Della
ware capes, she easily averaged II IA
knots an hour under a slightly assisted
draught, and careful record of her
coal consumption showed that she could
have steamed half way around the worlo
at the same speed and still retained fuel
enough to go into action.
After a gun test the Maine will be call
ed on to make the run to Culebra, Cuba,
and return. She will leave Cramps to-
morrow and go to League Island Navy
yard for Il complete reftting and after
that she will have a run off the New
England coast. 1t Is expected that her
speed run will begin October 10, and it will
be strange If the new Maine does not re.
turn bringing with her some handsome
records.

Another Gubernatorial Possibility

We referred the other day to the con-
sideration of different names in connec-
ton with the republican nomination for
the governorship. 1t transpires that
there has been a little quiet governor
talk in still another direction. The Hon.
Percival w. Clement is considering the
project of making a canvass for the re-
publican nomination, and while he says
he has not definitely decided what course
he will pursue, he is looking the ground
over with reference to his possible can
didacy.
In the course of his conversation with
different men he has practically outlined
the platform which he would formulate,
in the event of his taking the field. While
there are certain amendments to the Ii
cense law which he thinks should be
made, he will not seek to make that qucs-
ton q paramount issue. 1t follows as d,
matter of course that Lis candidacy will
mean an assault on the mountain line
although he might naturally seek to have
other issues oVerShadOW that question,
He is considering n scheme Of road i'm
temptation is said to be the adoption of
new financial methods for the State and
the development of new sources of rev
enue.
Mr.. Clement does not consider that his
course in running on an independent
ticket for the governorship last year put
him outside of the pale of the Republican
:,
year. ii would be for the republican nom
nation and he would have it understood
that he would support the REGULAR ticket
no matter il his own candidacy for the
nomination was not successful.
Inasmuch as Rutland county is prac-
tically certain to have one, If not more
than one, candidate for the Lieutenant
governorship nomination, the possibility
of Mr., Clements candidacy raises inter
estinG questions. The names of Or. j. A
Mead and OF DR., j. r. Thomson have already
been discussed to a greater or less extent
IN Rutland county in connection witt
second place on the republican ticket; ant
If ore or both of these gentlemen entered
a contest for the lieutenant goveruorship
there would Immediately arise the ques
tion. which position Rutland county woult
Nsk for, the governorship or second posi-
ton on the ticket 1t is to be taken as
matter of course that the county would
not undertake to ask for both honors
and much less would the State convention
be likely to give the two most mportan
nominations to any one county II tn
question is to be fought out within re
publican lines, it will manifestly be neces
pary for the Rutland county republican
to settle this question first of all The
will come the questions regarding MI
Clements status as a party man and tn
mountain rule, which the republicans o
the State AZ a whole if the necessit
arises, must decide for themselves.

The New BattIeship Mainc

The tragic fate of the former battleship
Maine and the tremendous consequences
that followed her destruction in Havana
harbor would lend a more than ordinary
degree of general interest to the placing
of the new battleship Maine among our
list of great fighting machines, while
the fact that Lieut. j. Hannibal Holden,
a Burlington boy who was attached to
the Inflated Maine of Havana fame, Is
an officer on the new Maine increases
local interest In her movements.
The huge battleship Maine has been
seIected to try to eclipse the famous run
of the Kearsarge, and unless the officers
and men of the great battleship are sad
" in error, she will accomplish the task
assigned to her. 1t will be recalled by
some of our readers that the Kearsargo
in a run across the ocean maintained an
average of something over thirteen
knots
The Maine is expected 70 surpass this
record. and in view of the speed she has
already shown that expectation would

POINTS ABOUT BIRDS.

Mrs. Frances b. Horton, president of
the Audubon society, entertained the
members at her home in Brattlehoro
Monday evening and gave them a very
interesting talk on Migration of Birds -
The reason for the migration of birds
has never been explained satisfactorily
and still puzzles the most expert students
of bird life. Theories have been advanced
but how true they are no one knows. and
the question becomes more mysterious
with each investigation. Mrs Horton
gave some accounts of remarkable in
stances of velocity and altitude attained
by birds in their flight. Some fly far

could not exist because of the extreme

of the United States mgrates over 1900
statute miles twice a year. The hooded
crow. ordinarily a sluggish bird, hurls
itself through space at los miles an hour.

in one nocturnal flight from Africa to the
