no Not supnreas ! Couch.

When you have cough do not try
to suppress It. but remove the cause.
The cough is only a symptom Of some
disease, and the disease is what you
should cure then the cough will stop
of itself. The most common cause Of
coughing Is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chloroform,
opium, etc, are used for that purpose,
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy on the other
hand does not suppress the cough but
relieves it by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucus which obstructed
the breathing and allaying the irrita-
tion and tickling in the throat. It also
opens the secretions and effeetually
and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by j. n.

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnflamed condition Of the mucous lin

this tube is infamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by CataTrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-

Ten Thousand Dollars Disappears
From Assets Of Enid Sank.

The statement is made today that
The receiver of the defunot Citizens
bank OF Enid has missed $4,000 ad-
ditional of the banks assets and is
making a still hunt to recover them.
It is understood. too. that suspicion
lies In several quarters and that a
surprise, equal to that which camc
out when the $4,000 assets were To-
Gated in the possession OF the late
assistant bank commissioner may be
anticipated.
Receiver Denton Is proving the
right man in places. He has done
much already toward bringing in the
entire assets of the banks. and frth-
or developments may be expected
from his Investigations
Governor Ferguson is in Shawnee,
ostensibly to make a Chautauqua
speech, but also it is said to inter.

ernor made the statement that Coop
er's resignation would be accepted
within two minutes after Deiag tend
cred but SO far as kn.sr ..coget has
not yet resigned.
Relative to the et,ert condition
of the banks assets, tt IS bei.eYed that
the governor. when stating that Coop

meant that he held the commissioner
or his assistant responsible, to GER
tain extent at least, for the banks
condition. charging them with care

In addition to the excavation work

Railroad tracks in preparation for the

II will be remembered that this mas

authorities failure TO approve the sub
way plans. Now that the plans have
been made satisfactory by the railroad
engineers. this work will be carried on
with the greatest rapidity possible.
This past week occurrences may be
said TO have been the most important
that have yet developed In the new

tunnel work has been continued, the
building foundations have progressed.
and the officials Of the District govern
