How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the
mothers of small children to learn
that Group can be prevented. The
first sign of Group is hoarseness.
A day or two before the attack
the child becomes hoarsei This
is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse,
or even after the rough cough
appears, and it will dispel all
symptoms of Group. In this way
all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and
has never been known to fail. 1t
is, in fact, the only remedy that
can always be depended upon and
that is pleasant and safe to take.

THE PLACATING OF NELSON.

Senator Knute Nelson appears to have compelled the
executive to meet him half way in reaching better TN
dersandng The offer of the post of civil service COM
missioner to W. W. Heelfnger of Minneapolis is proof
of the fact
The attitude of the senior senator from Minnesota
toward the president has given the Republican leaders
IN this state 1t practically shut them
out from participating in the distribution of official ia
vors. Senator Nelson has held the position of a man
who knew he was right and intended to maintain his
attitude without regard the feelings of the men
who wanted chance at the offices. That he should
have the courage to keep his position until he won is
not to be wondered for there is anything that Sena
tor Nelson possesses larger than most men
it is the quality of stubbonness. The president him
self has than his share of the quality and it
looked Omnous for the seekers of place in this state
That understanding reached after the senator
and the president got of Washington is now clear
They forgot their differences under the healing in-
ences of Minnesota April day and the immediate re-
suit of their getting together the filling of some
breaches in the presidential fences in this state.

days work for Senator Nelson, that he did last Satur
day. And the president did pretty good stroke of
business for himself who wants the delegation

SAY, MR.. TIGHE:

Have you examined that bill comforting authority
the city to regulate fares railways? So why
don't you urge action?
1t is not vicious BILL at all 1t merely confers the
upon the council of the city to order cent fare
on the street railway during the hours working people
60 to their places of employment in the morning and
return in the evening
Are you in favor of the BILL Mr. Tghe?
If you are, will you help push it along and every
effort to have ii become law during the few days re-
manning of the present session?
Are you opposed to the BILL Mr.. Tighe?
If SO, why and say so and let the voters
know where you stand with reference to the street rail
way company?
1t is matter of common report, Mr.. Tghe, that you
have declared that Minnesota needed a good man in
the United States senate" and that you were standing
in front of looking glass when you said it.
One OF the surest ways to miss the United States SEN
ate, Mr. Ilghe would be prevent the people of St
Paul from having opportunity to get the 3cent fare
for working people at certain hours of the day.
Voters can be fooled often, Mr. Tighe but all of
them all the time, and a good many of them have long
memories.

THE DREYFUS AFFAIR.

While the world fairly sickened by the details of
the Dreyfus the that it will be
opened and that there probability that the dsgraced
officer will be rehabilitated will be received generally
with applause.
1t has been demonstrated though not officially, that
the unfortunate officer the victim of anti Semitic
caba. 1t is certain that forgery committed in
der bring about his conviction. The fact appears
to have been shown in the statement of NJ uares made
in the chamber of deputies If M. Juares substan-
tate his statement there is hope that the affair will be
gone into udciay and that France will redeem itself
from the disgrace that attached everybody connected
with the prosecution of Dreyfus.
There is doubt in the minds of people who have
watched the proceedings in the Dreyfus affair dspasson
ately that the officer the victim of plot. All
France with the exception of few anti-Semites
who blinded by their preudces admits that crime
committed in sending Dreyfus to Devils island and
quite niquitOus ofense perpetrated when the
declined judicaly the reputation of the
accused
What France admits privately should be established
legally To allow the affair stand is is reproach
to the republic.
