A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. 1t has been IN
use tor over thirty years, during
which time many million bottles have
been sold aud 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 reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect
cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant to
take. many children like it. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confident
ly to baby as to an adult For sale

D. & R. G. to Connect Crystal River

| It is learned from an official source
that among the probable work Of tn q
Denver and Rio Grapde during the
coming year will be an investigation
Of the feasibility of building line
from Paonia to Placita to connect the
Rio Grande railroad with the Crystal
River railroad. The Rio Grande
railroad. forty-two miles long and
running from Delta ON the Denver
and Rio Grande to Paonia, will be
merged with the Denver and Rio
Grande sysetm at the annual meeting
on October 20. The Crystal River
road will be purchased at the special
stockholders meeting on October 20.
When these two lines become part Of
the Denver and Rio Grande system
there will be sp of only few miles
from Paonia to Placits. 1t is un-
derstood that an immense tunnel
will be necessary to connect the two
roads on account of the high mount
aims. and the Investigations will be
for the purpose OF determining the
feasibility of the route. The object
of the change will be to shorten the
haul of tho products of the coke ovens
at Redstone and the ores of the Colo.
RADIO Fuel and Iron company properties

tonnage goes over the Crystal River
railroad to Carbondale. then over the
Rio Grande to Glenwood Springs and
via the Leadville route to Pueblo
After the connection is made the Crys.

way of Delta, Montrose and Gunni-
son to Pueblo. Denver Times.

ACCOMMODATIONS DESIRED.

The need Of another local passenger
train on the Denver and Rio Grande
becomes more apparent every day.
and that service should consist of a
train going west starting from
Pueblo and running to Grand juno
tion. This would take all the local
travel away from Nos. and l west
bound, and would also give the local
passengers chair while travelling.
AS conditions now exist local travel
west can never have any accommoda
tion at all. We speak not only from
observation but experipece. There
is never day passes but what No. 5,
west bound has from eleven to thlr-
teen coaches, drawn bv two engines.
Attached to this train usually there
is but one chair car and one smoker.
When passengers attempt to board the
train the conductor or porter invaria-
bly, tell them to wait for the next
train or else stand-there is no vacant
seats. This has been the rule for
months. Passengers are generally
anxious to get to their destination,
transact business and get home,
consequently they choose the alter
native Of standing.
A local train leaving Pueblo early
in the morning, consisting Of bag
gage and express car, smoker and
chair car would relieve this sad con-
dition Of affairs and not only increase
travel along the Grande but be an
accommodation to the public in get.
ting baggage and express Surely
something ought to be done.

A peculiar case is reported in Ala
bama. Recently couple of planters
were convicted in the United States
court OF peonage, or holding negroes
in practical bondage. They were
given penitentiary sentences. and now
the negroes are sending in petition
for their pardon. 1t seems passing
strange that the very race who were
the sufferers should be the first to ask
olemenoy for the offenders.

1t is said that some persons interes-
ted in the welfare of the liquor inter
ests of this city are compiling the
costs OF the pig prosecutions of the
recent term of the district court for the
purpose of parading them before the
people. We hope this is true. Count
ing the costs of upholding the law
as an argument for federation of law
lessness is poor excuse at any time.
In this case there is not the least sem.
blance of an excuse. The apologists
for an open policy are in their las,
trenches. Forced by the good and
conscientious work of jury and court
to abandon the "no-way to- do any
thing" cry and overwhelmed by the
public disgust with a city administra
ton thai refuses to enforce the ordi.
nances of the city, the saloon advo.
Gates are whining about the costs.

She was another victim of that
dreadful disease, consumption, from
which she has suffered for over one

married to John F. Lindberg six years

Minneapolis until last spring when
they came to Mamre.

cartridges were set~in the earth and
fired off. They broke up the ground
beautifully. They did the work much
better, and much more cheaply, than
any machine or any manual labor
could do. And. in addition to this,

The "Athletic AWakeninx.,,

Prior to 1880 not a single record for
events on standard athletic champion
ship programmes was held by an
American. They were all credited to
Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen.
To-day, % years later, Americans hold
nearly all the records. That is one re.
suit of the "athletic awakening''-the
increased interest in outdoor sports in
the United States; but it is by no
means the most valuable. Better
health, sounder, stronger bodies, calm
er minds, less tendency to dyspepsia
and nervousness-these~ are worth
more than records; they seem in this
case to go together.--Youth's Compan-
ion.

Change In Train Service.

Chief Dispatcher WEIGH has been in
St. Paul this week m ,etiog with OFF,
Gals for the arranging of q new train
schedule which will affect the service
at this point. It is announced that
the change will be effective about the
first of March. The coast trains, men,
ton OF which was made some time ago.
will be put on this line about that time.
There will be one each way. These
trains will run SO that passengers can
board the train here about ll:3O a. m.
for the east and returning arrive here
about p. m, making it very conven-
lent for business men especially. The
day trains which now arrive here after
dinner are schedu ed to arrive about
half an hour earlier. No II from st.
Paul will arrive at 1:20 instead of :55
and leave for Sioux City at 1:5O n
stead of 2:15. No. IL from Sioux G ty
Will leave here for St. Paul at 2:O5 in
stead of 1925. This train at present is
due here at 2:l5. but according to the
new time table will arrive at LAS.
Due notice will be given by the TR1.
BUNE when the complete change is
made. There is rumor current to
the effect that the new change will
again be beneficial to our restaurants
and hotels.
The announcement is made that
there is a strong probability OF the
present night train from St. Paul to
Sioux City being taken off.
