To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "o'er true tale" Having hap
pened in a small Virginia town in the
winter of 1902, it is story very much
of the present, Up to short time ago
Mrs. John f. Harmon, of Melia Station,
Va, had no personal knowledge of the
rare curative properties of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Last January" she
says, "my baby took dreadful cold and
at one time l feared she would have
pneumonia, but one of my neighbors
told me how this remedy had cured her
little boy and began giving it to my
baby at once and it soon cured her. /
heartily thank the manufacturers OF
Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy for plac-
ing so great cure within my reach. |
cannot recommend it too highly or say
too much in its favor. / hope all who
read this will try it and be convinced as
was" For sale by Richard Gibson.

WANT TO CUT NIGnT RATES.
Telegraph Tolls IN the Northwest Are
Too High.

1t is announced that printed circu-
lars are to be issued by the Seattle
manufacturers association and sent to
every chamber of commerce organiza-
ton and affiliated body of business
men in the country, asking for their CO.
operation in securing reduced night
telegraph tolls for Seattle and the
western cities.
This action was taken during the
regular business meeting following the
banquet held at the Washington hotel
Saturday evening, and followed an
unsatisfactory report from a commit
tee which had taken the matter up
with the local telegraph officials.
In effect this committee reported
that it had been unable to secure any
satisfactory answer to their petition.
Inasmuch as the east enjoys reduced
night rates, it was urged that the
northwestern cities should be granted
the same privilege. This question has
been taken up before in Seattle, it is
said. but nothing definite ever result
ed Now the program outlined is to
enlist the aid of every commercial or
ganizatiOn throughout the United
States.
