Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is toward preventative measures. The best thought Ot the world is being given to the subject lt is easier and better 10 prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu- monia, one of the most dangerous dis eases that medical men have to con tend with. can be prevented by the use of Cham berlaiu's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency or these diseases toward puuemonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands Of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted It always cures. For sale by all dealers in medicine.

 wv. F.. Mosher, who is said to have a confederate in Toledo, Ohio is held at the police station here to answer to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and using the mails for fraudulent purposes.

All appli- cauts who called were asked to take a share of stock on the condition that they were to be given employment when the road was in operation-which would be in about a month. Shares were held at $l0 each, and stubs found in Mosher's office showed that he had collected money from several hun dred men.
 "A man named Musgrave thought so well Of the scheme that he considered selling a forty-acre farm in Illinois and investing the proceeds in MOsher's company. Before the deal was con- cluded he consulted the police. The investigation which followed resulted in the arrest Of Mosher.n
