cAckLEY STILL CRAFTY.
Steals Knife and Saws Bar in His Gel
At keosauuua,

.
The removal of Charles Cackley
from the county Jail at Keosauqua to
the prison at Ft Madison has revealed
that fact that even in his old age he
is as cunning, tricky and hard to keep
in prison as when first arrested for his
crime nearly forty years ago. 1t is
stated by Sheriff Ramsey that Cackley
had stolen a knife on the first day of
his present imprisonment and by u.s.
ing it as a saw had partly cut off one
of the iron bars to his cell. :.
This will be quite surprise to those
who knew Cackley in other days and
is the worst thing in its bearing on
his case that he could possibly have
done. When he was in Jail before he
frankly told the sheriff he was not go,
ing to stay for his trial = that he
should get out and go before the court
met; when he got ready, he used to
say, he was going to leave the coun-
try and leave for good. This time he
talked differently. He said he had
become tired of evading the law and
that he should rot run from it again
that he should stay until it was decid-
ed what should be done with him, and
so far as he himself was concerned,
he did not care what was done. His
only interest in the matter was in be-
half Of his family.

Pneumonia in CHICAGO.

Over 5000 people died of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case
the disease resulted from cold. Had
the cold been promptly and properly
treated at the outset almost everyone
would have recovered. This statement
is abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is a certain
preventive of pneumonia. Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy has gained it's
wide reputation and enormous sale by
the prompt and effectual cures of
colds and can always be depended
upon. For sale by all druggists.
