money or notes The story he told in
court of what occurred did not occur.
I received nothing from him.

August II, the day the men were laid
off on the Chatsworth job. "Essig
wanted to know if I could not help
him" said Weinseimer. 81 told him
TO see Johnson and Kahn and get them
to nut in union men, and the whole
thing would be all right. A few min
utes later was arrested. The officers
searched me and refused to allow me
to communicate with my friends. l

Soil Analysis.

To Whom it May Concern--The
analysis of water through the State
have for some time back engaged
the Department of Chemistry. AS
a consequence the analysis of soil
samples, which were first delayed
by fire and then by lack of proper
facilities for their analysis, has been
compelled to suffer neglect, because
of the almost exclusive attention of
the department to the current work
that was sent into the laboratory.
1t is desired now to complete the
analysis of the soil at the very earh-
est opportunity, and, therefore, we
take this method of giving notice to
the friends in the State that for a
few months they will confer favor
by not sending any samples tor
analysis, unless it be in the case of
an epidemic of disease in some
portions of the State.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John II. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written
letter of congratulations to the
manufacturer of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as follows: six
teen years ago when our first child
was baby he was subject to croupy
spells and we would be very uneasy
about him. We began using Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and
finding it such reliable remedy for
colds and Group, we have never been
without it in the house since that
time. We have FIVE children and
have given it to all of them with
good results. One good feature of
this remedy is that it is not disagree
able to take and our babies really
like it. Another is that it is not dan
gerous, and there is no risk from
giving an overdose. l congratulate
you upon the success of your rem
edy." For sale by NJ. 4. Leavitt.
