Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectuaily and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is also a certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists.

AUsrRIA,s STATE SECRETS.
rhey Are Placed for Security I'm Iron
Rooms of House Built Dx-
press1y for Them.

The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hofburg
to the great house built for them ad-
joining the foreign ONCE. They will
later on be opened for public inspec-
tion, from the most ancient documents
down to those of 1910, says the London
Telegraph. The rooms containing the
secret archives are of ironwork, each
story being completely separated from
the next one, so that neither fire nor
water can penetrate. Hose supplying
abundance OF water is fixed in every d.
rection, the windows can neither be
melted by fire nor destroyed by blows
and the ornamental ironwork before
each window can be unlocked In case
OF emergency.
1t is remembered when Napoleon Bo-
naparte invaded Austria and estab-
lished himself at Schonbrunn with
what terrible haste the secret archives
were carried of to Buda-Pesth to the
Ofen stronghold, these being the first
things secured when all else was left.
Among the iron cases stands a plain
wooden box which will not be opened
for so years.
1t contains the letters and papers OF
the late Crown Prince Rudolph hurried
ly collected at Mayerling on the day Of
the disaster and placed in box bought

Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning
an oil and lamp car at the Southern
Railway depot was discovered to be on
fire, and the whistles of the locomotives
standing near by sounded an alarm to

bank short distance west of the
depot, and difficult of approach; hence
but one engine could be utilized. The
