When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy iquifies the tough mucus and
causes it's expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs, produces free expectora-
tion, and opens the secretions. A COM

will cure severe cold in less time than
any other treatment and it leaves the

AS TO BOND ISSUES
Cleveland Defends an Act of
4 5s
His Administration.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 4.-The
Saturday Evening Post of May will
contain an article contributed by ex-
President Grover Cleveland on 1.-THE
Cleveland Bond Issues" in which he
gives the history of "the issue of
United States bonds in the years 1894,
1895 and 1896, for the purpose Of re-
plenishing the stock of gold in the pub
lie treasury"
Mr.. Cleveland holds that legislation
In favor of silver coinage and the eff
fort to maintain the parity Of silver
and gold were greatly responsible for
the reduction of the gold reserve, and
that under the law of 1890 the burden
upon the gold reserve was tremen-
dously enlarged" After giving the de-
tails of the bond Issues, Mr.. Cleveland
concludes.
I have attempted to give detailed his
tory of the crime charged against an adj
ministration which ISSUED bonds Of the
government in time of peace" Without
shame and without repentance, / confess
shield my accomplices in this crime, who,
with me, held high places in that admin
istration. And though Mr.. Morgan and
Mr.. Belmont and scores of other bankers
and f1nanciers who were accessories in
those transactions may be STEPPED in de-
structive prepensities and may be- con-
stantly busy in sinful schemes. I shall al
ways recall with satisfaction and self

a time when our country sorely needed

RAILROAD NEWS
RAIL WAY SEEKS TO
ENTER SUPERIOR
500 or Milwaukee Said to Be
Promoters of New
Line.

Special to The Globe.
SUPERIOR, Wis, May 4.-Superior
property owners seem to have before
them the option Of giving up certain
valuable property to a railroad that
wants to come to Superior or not get
ting the road. The line is thought to
be the 500 or Milwaukee.
Some time ago the first intimation of
the desires of the railroad which is rep
resented in the negotiations by Sur
veyor ellis was given. The report
then was that the road desired eighty
acres Of land for shops and terminals
and wanted in addition a right of way
through the heart of the business dis
trict.
More has now been learned Of the
demands of this road. The representa-
tives of the company insist upon get
ting eighty acres of land in the neigh
borhood of Hill avenue and Belknap
for the shops and other buildings. The
Hayes tract or the piece of land west
OF 1T have been suggested, and it is
said that either one of these will be
acceptable, but that no others will be.
The plan of the road is to come into
Superior by way Of the East end and
to run down to Winter street and Hill
avenue, where it is said a freight depot
might be located. But the. road is
fighting shy Of the big interstate bridge
proposition, and another bridge, farther
up the st. Louis river is said to be a
possibility, to get the road to Duluth.
From Hill avenue and Winter street
the road officials propose to run right
through, midway between Winter
street and Broadway over to the vicin-
ity of Cakes or Banks avenue, where
the railroad would head down toward
the bay. Not: ing will do the road but
seventy-five feet midway between
Broadway and Winter street, cutting
right through the heart Of the business
region.
Much work of a preliminary nature
has been done by the railroads sur
veyors. A line, or several lines, have
been run from Ladysnith here, and the
road Is said to have decided upon the
way of entering the city and to be
ready to come when it can secure what
it wants.

TWO WORLDS FAIRS
COMPARED BY PECK
Expert Prefers That of ST. Louis to
the Columbian Exposition.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May At am here
simply as a visitor and not in any Off
cial capacity, but I desire to say that
the Louisiana Purchase exposition far
surpasses my greatest expectations. /"
said Hon. Ferdinand w. Peck tonight.
Mr.. Peck is acknowledged to be one of
the most competent authorities on ex-
positions in the world. He was the
first vice president of the Columbian
exposition in Chicago in 1898, and in
1900 was commissioner general for the
United States to the Paris exposition.
Mr.. Peck added:
1t is not speaking derogatorily for
me to say that the Chicago exposition
was, perhaps, a trif1e farther advanced
at its opening; but then it must also
be considered that it did not cover so
vast an area. This exposition is more
colossal and more stupendous. The
state buildings are far beyond my ex-
pectatiOnS. They are more colossal in
structure and more substantial in APP
pearance than 1 had expected, and all
are marvels Of beauty. The same thing
may be said of the national buildings.
Especially is this so as regards Bra
ZiIs building. l think this building is
one Of the most ornate and elaborate
pieces of construction in this country
Belgium's building is also unique and
striking in it's appearance. There are
more foreign buildings here than there
were at the Columbian exposition,

BURLINGTON MAY RUN
ST. LOUIS. COAST TRAIN

SEATTLE, Wash, May 4.-The Bur-
lington is negotiating with the Northern
Pacific for the privilege of putting on a
through Burlington passenger train be-
tween Seattle and st. Louis, the train
to run during the ST. Louis exposition,
and to be continued as long as business
justif1es A solid train between the two
cities is planned by passenger officials Of
the Burlington.
Beginning tomorrow the Burlington puts
on through Pullman between Seattle and
St Louis. There is now through chair
car and pending the settlement of the
effort to get an entire train between Sc
attic and st. Louis the Burlington will
continue this service.
John Francis, general passenger agent
of the Burlington, with headquarters at
Omaha, is in Seattle, but win go to Port
land tonight to confer with A. d. Charl
ton, assistant general passenger agent Of
the Northern Pacific, relative to the pro-
posed increase in the Burlington train
service from the Pacific Northwest.
The Burlington formerly ran a train be-
tween Portland and st. Louis, but the
Northern Pacific objected to the run be-
tween Portland and Seattle on the ground
that the road could not handle the extra
transcontinental train and do justice to
the local business. When the Burlington 8
Portland train was taken of the service
was reduced to Kansas City, with q

Ice from the Twin Cities to st. Louis
1t was news to them.
About a month ago there was a story
in circulation that the Milwaukee had
made an agreement with the Alton to
run trains over it's route to ST Louis
during the worlds fair. Milwaukee
equipment was to be used, but the
trains were to be operated by the
Alton.
At that time nothing was said Of
running the Pioneer Limited to the
fair city as a through train. How
ever, railroad men say that the plan
is feasible and that if the Milwaukee
makes any agreement with the Alton
regarding the running of trains over
it's line, the limited from st. Paul will
probably have st. Louis as its south
ern terminus during the exhibition.
By making the Pioneer limited a
through. train to St. Louis the Milwau-
kee would establish an ideal worlds
fair service. The trip via Chicago would
take but a few hours longer than by
