DANGER OF COLDS AND GRIP.

DANGER OF COLDS AND GRIP.
 The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ta- ken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows concll1sively that it is a certain pre- yentive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treat ment It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberfain's
 Cough Remedy.

"When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) l actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsyille, N. Y. ."This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon ful of this remedy and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take a dose, and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and it's ae- companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because had ney- CT tried it for such purpose, but 1t did, and it seemed with the second at tack of coughing the remedy caused 1t not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle be- fore MT Grip had bid me adieu.v For sale by all druggists.

From the beginning of the trolley strike. in Waterbury there have been evidences that serious trouble was coming, that violent emotions were un- der the surface and bound to come to the light, and that a chapter in labor history was to be written that would be 3 blot upon the good name of self protected labor. To-day it has come. and the state of Connecticut stands aghast at the violent passions, the un- mastered egotism of a crowd of em- ployes of 3 street car company who stand for their own rights and deny equal privileges to others. The dis- grace has already been voluntarily laid at the feet of the laboring inter- ests of that city, and an equal disgrace is now likely to be laid at the feet of a community that has not the vigorous belief i'll law and order to speedily put this miserable business at an end.
 The above from last evenings New Haven Register is sample of what the editors both in and out of the state are saying about Waterbury and its officials. It is an unfair view of the situation in several respects. We are all aware that Iawlessness of the worst kind has broken out in Water l bury every now and then for the past two months, but how can it be stop ped? By running down the culprits, these editors will say. Isn't that just what the Waterbury officials have been trying to do? Mayor Kilduff has been censured right and left, and yet he has been doing his duty. The state militia was brought here, tue county deputies were brought here, and our police force has been doubled, and yet the as sassins are at large. Mayor Kilduff

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.
And the Overzealous saIesman was Given in Concise Way to Un-
 derstand as Much.

This is g tale told by the Baltimore News for the benefit of the overzeaI- ous ssalesmen and saleswomen who think they know better than their cus- toners what their customers want to buy. A man walked into haberdash- er's shop and bowed politely to the clerk.
 1T should like to look at some black gloves, stitched with white,'' said he.
 '.Black gloves, stitched with white are not fashionable now," replied the clerk
 T beg your pardon,'' said the po- lite customer. "You evidently mis- understood me. said I should like to look at some black gloves stitched with white"
 "They are no longer fashionable, !" re- iterated the clerk, with impatient su- periority.
 "I find must apologize again. said the other. q came in here, thinking it was haberdashery; find it is a bu- reau of informa tion. I'm sorry to have troubled you with so unimporftMt a matter, for I really didn't care to know whether the gloves wanted were stylish or not. Perhaps I can buy pair of some sort at the place across the street,"e and he went out.

RESIGNS s2 A YEAR POSITION.
David of sUnpronounceable Name \

 Longer in thet Federal Service.
 Since David Kaphokahoakimoh Weonah resigned his position as post master at Keoka, Island of Maui, Ha- Wa1i, the fourth assistant paymaster- general has been unable to find anyone to take his office.
 David of the unpronounceable name has been holding down the office ever since Hawaii was made territory, but some time ago he was offered more lucrative employment on sugar plan+ tation at $3 a month, and left the gov ernment service, where he received only $2 year.
 MT Kaphoko oakimohakeweonah is said to be a. linea1 descendant of the famous King Kalitapo pokamik olzfwealo- ha, whom. tradition tells, was "yery fond of missionaries"
 The general opinion in Washington is that David Whateyerhisnameis was Justified in resigning q position whence the income was so small. If there be aught in name-and the people of Washington agree there is-a man who carried such an amount of nomeclature on his person shoul1 certainly enjoy a larger daily wage than 61s cents.
 MT Kaphakohoakimoho hokewenonah has now secured a post where, in addi- ton to the privilege of one day off each week, his earnings per diem are fn- creased to approximately cents.
 MT David Soandso should communi- cate with one of the managers who make a speciality of figuring new freaks of any sort at any price. He might be able to command salary of $50 week or more.

The republicans committed the great est outrage that ever was committed in the history of national legislation in this government when they kicked out the Hon James J. Butler, of the 18th district of Missouri, from his seat in congress, twice without ryme or reason, says one writer. It was the most indecent and most indefensible piece of partisanship ever perpetrated on the face of the earth. MT Butler was elected to the 57th congress, and his seat was contested by a man named Horton. Horton's record was so rot ten that the republicans could not af- ford to give him the seat, but such was their partisanship that they would not give it to Butler, whose father had been so prominent in democratic cir cles in the city of St Louis for years, so they declared the seat vacant, and that no election had occurred That happened on the 18th of last June. Last fall MT Butler ran not only for the va- cancy, but for the long term in the next, or 58th congress. He was elect ed to both seats by a majority of over 5000 votes. The man who contested his seat for the short term, MT Wag- oner, made his contest on the ground of fraud in the district. There was over 2,500 pages of testimony in the case, on both sides, of which the com mittee on elections read not one page. and submitted nothing to the house. The committee simply called up the case and the partisan majority simply fired out Mir Butler on the ex-parte Statement of the republican chairman of the committee that he was elected
 by fraud. They not only did that, but they did it without a quorum present
