Congratulations.

land, Texas, News, has written letter
Of congratulations to the manufacturers
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as fol
lows: "Sixteen years ago when our first
child was baby he was subject to croupy
spells and we would be very uneasy about
him. We began using Chamberlain
Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it
such n reliable remedy for colds and
Group, we have never been without it in
the house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of them
with good results. One good feature of
this remedy Is that it is not disagreeable
to take and our babies really like it. An
other is that it is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving an overdose.

your remedy" For sale by o. X. Long.

Sues for Insurance.

In a suit filed in the district court OF
III Paso county last Thursday Mrs, Dora
CLARK accuses the Improved Order OF
Red Men OF Colorado with keeping from
her the money she claims legitimately
belongs to her as the beneficiary OF the
late {. II. Clark. The sum Is 1900
She says the order hns refused TO pay
the Insurance claim although full and
complete evidence of the death Of the
late Mr.. Clark has been furnished.
Ebert people will await the outcome
OF this suit with interest as Mr.. Clark
was a member OF the local tribe of Red
Men at the time OF his death, and the
Great Council refuses to pay the insur-
ance because the books OF the chief OF
records show that Mr. Clark was not in
good standing in the tribe at the time OF
his death owing to non-payment of dues
Mrs. Clark claims his dues we're paid up
but after his death, which was sudden
and unexpected, no receipts could be
found to substantiate her claim. On
the other hand, the officers OF the Fun.
eral Benefit Fund, in which the policy
was held, had never been notified OF his
delinquency, which would have annulled
the policy, and Mr.. Clark continued to
pay his assessments regularly up to the
tine Of his death.

Law Governing Estrays.

A number Of estrays have been taken
up in this locality OF late and as but few
OF the people are familiar with the es-
tray law, we publish the following for the
benefit of those Interested:
An estray animal is any bovine animal,

take up an estray in the vicinity Of his

send a description of the animal taken
up to the secretary of the State Board OF
Stock Inspection commissioners, capitol

may then legally retain possession of the
animal until disposed Of by the state
board.
In case of estrays on the open range,
they may be driven on with other cattle
and turned over TO the inspector, who is
authorized to ship the same to market.

Five-Ton Lump of Coal.

The Yampa Leader tells Of five-ton
lump of coal being mined near that town.
1t says: "a. A. johnson, vice president

Coal and Land company, assisted by the
officials OF the Motfat road, mined five
ton lump OF coal at the old james mine,
nine miles northwest OF Yampa, which
they shipped to St Louis, where it will
be viewed by thousands of people.
