good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, 1t not only cures
colds and grip etfectually and per-
manently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain curt for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy Is given. IL contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently TO a baby as to
an adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken in

highly and very few are willing to
take any other after having once used

UNION STATION THIEVES.
Fulton Sun Editor has an Experience
and Warns Callewegians-Mrs.
John N. Davis Helps Him.

fEOm Inc nuitOn sun.
For the benefit of the citizens OF
fulton and Galloway county who con-
template visiting st. Louis, the editor
OF the Sun gives bis experience with
the thieves, who pretend to do bust
ness about the Union Station, that
they may avoid a similar experience
or probably worse one. The editor
needing q shave and being In a hurry
stepped into a barber shop across from
the main north entrance of Union sta
ton. The editor knowing full we'll he
was In a dangerous neighborhood be-
lore getting into the BARRIERS chair
laughingly asked what the charges for
the shave we're. Fifteen cents'' re-
piled the barber man. When the ton
serial operation was at an end the
editor rendered the barber a quarter
with the statement that he owed the
bootblack 10 cents for a shine. The
barber told the editor to pay the CASH
Ter and be went to the desk and laid
down his money. The cashier thief
searched among the bills and found
what he said was due for services rem
dered which proved to be s1.45, item
lied about as follows:
Shave 10 cents, hot towels 25 cents,
face massage So cents, bay rum on face
10 cents, electric hair treatment %
cents, hair tonic s cents. The editor
refused point blank to pay the bill and
some argument ensued during which
time the theiving barber got between
the editor and the door and others
connected with the shop punched
around him. The argument was wax
ing warm when Mrs John M. Davis,
formerly Of Fulton CHANGED to pass by
and seeing the editor, was glad to meet
him and asked what he was doing
there. The editor told her that the
barber was trying to rob him, where
upon Mrs. Davis g~rasping the situation
with a woman's intuition started to
call for the police. The barber called
Mrs. Davis and she stopped for a mo-
ment thinking the matter might be
settled, but the thieves still insisted
on the sl.45, so the editor told Mrs.
Davis to call the police and as she
started the barber started after her
and the editor got out of the barber
shop.
The editor and Mrs. Davis found a
policeman and reported the matter
but the latter said unless the editor
would stay and appear against
the thief IL would be useless
to arrest him. This the editor did not
have time TO do, but at least he had
the satisfaction Of not paying the 81 As.
Those who visit st. Louis are warned
against patronizlng the sharks about
Union Station and IL they do, they
will be robbed or maybe killed by the
thieves who ply their trades there
under the gulse of doing business,
