That Is the terse advice we want to
give you about that hacking cough
or demoralizing cold with which you
have been struggling for several days,
perhaps weeks. Take some reliable
remedy for it to-day-and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been i'm use for over
thirty five years. A few doses of it
will undoubtedly relieve your cough
or cold, and its continued use for a
few days-'wiil cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect a cure--as it has
done before in thousands of appar-
emily hopeless cases of lung trouble.

of Essex, held few days ago at Tappa

was presented by Judge II. X. b. Wright
AMI spread upon the records OF tht
County Court by order Of Judge New
bill.
This is the last term Of the County
Court OF Essex. The first day OF Feb.
ruary. 1904, will chronicle the death oI
the County Court and herald The birth
Of new Judicial system under a new
Constitution. Amidst these momentous
changes and passing events in our civil
structure, as we pass each successive
mile stone rapidly along the highway OF
growth and progress in our States and
county's history, II is proper that we
halt for moment aud note 30 impor-
tant event and epoch.
I've do it today, not 80 much to re.
pine, although we confess feeling OF re-
gret at the departure OF a system that
traces its origin AZ early as l623.24,
and which, in the language oil Professor
John b. Minor, was ian institution
which had become endeared to our peo.
pie by the experience OF more than two
and half centuries and by the approval
of successive generations OF our wsest
and best men, and OF which, Mr.. Bebja.
min Watkins Leigh, in the Constitutional
Convention OF 1929 said has ever been
one Of the most important OF our insti-
tutions, not only in respect to the ad-
miDistration OF justice, but for police and
economy But we do it more to pay
tribute 10 the men of Essex who have
adorned the bench during the entire pc
riod OF its existence.
"As citizens. members OF the bar and
and officers OF the court, we desire to re-
cord the expression Of our high and ex
alted estimate OF the men who az county
judges, by legal attsinments and purity
Of private and official life, lifted high the
standards OF the court in the administra-
ton of Justice and have most worthily
maintained it's dignity, integrity and
character, and reflected lustre upon 1t rs
a most honorable institution.

honorable mention their names and the

eToLE SAFE FROM EXPRESS CAR
Train Robbers Make Big Haul On the
Southern Pacific Road.
San Francisco. Jan. 22.-Train rob-
bers stole the iron safe from the ex-
press car of the Sunset Limited, north
bound. on the Southern Pacific rail-
road. near San Luis ObispO, and it Is
understood that the robbers secured a
large amount Of treasure from the
stolen strong box, the sum being placed
as high as $4,000. This, however, is
denied at the Office of Wells, Fargo q
Company.
The Sunset Limited was travelling
in two sections, and IL was in one OF
the express cars of the second section
that the robbery occurred. The ex-
press messenger, T. Sullivan, had two
cars to look after, and shortly after
the train left San Luis Obispo, and
while It was nearing San Marquierote
he discovered the loss Of the safe. He
had been working in the forward ex-
press car. and as soon as he went to
the rear he made the astounding dis
coyery that the safe had been wrenched
from the corner of the car, where II
had been secured by heavy steel bars,
and carried away. The messenger i'm
medlately gave the warning. The train
was stopped and word was wired along
the line to look out for the robbers.
The safe was found in the rough
lands alongside the track. 1t had been
rifed OF everything except a valuable
diamond and some valuable papers
Notwithstanding the express peoples
statement that there was little Of
value in the safe it is stated that one
package sent from Santa Barbara was
worth about $500.

AGAINST DR.. WEBB's PROPERTY.
Judge Issues an Attachment IN New
York State.

New York, April 12.-Justlce BLANCHE
ard, in the supreme court, today, is
sued an attachment in action Drought
by Arthur l.. Meyer, against the prop
crty of DR.. w. Seward Webb, IN TINS
state. A COPY of the attachment was
served upon the Lincoln National bank,
the Continental National Bank ana the
Colonial Trust Co., in each of winch Dr.
Webb is supposed to have an account
The suit is brought to recover $4OO,oo0,
with interest from December 10, 1911,
the action having begun on April o.
1903.
In the affidavit on which the attach
mcnt was granted, Meyer says that on
August /, 1901, DR.. Webb was the own
er of income bonds issued by the MO-
hawk and Malone Railroad CO., OF the
par value of $3,90O,000 and induced him,
Meyer, to purchase them by represent
ing that the New York Central & iud-
son River Railroad co. WAS deslrouS OF
purchasing the bonds and had, through
its officials offered to purchase them at
IL price exceeding s., 9000 900; but that he,
DR.. Webb, did not desire to sell to the
New York Central Il Hudson River
Railroad Co. because certain OF It's
directors were related to INN by mar
riaSe, and might be criticized if they
purchased directly from him, while if
they purchased the bonds from
stranger neither they nor he would be
subject to criticism.
II am informed and believe" continued
the affidavit, that those representations
were false and untrue, in that neither the
New York Central Il Hudson River Rail
road Co, nor its officers nor any other
person. had offered to pay the par value
for the bonds, nor any sum whatsoever
in excess of 81 per cent. OF the par value,
as the defendant well knew when he
made these representations to me.
These representations were made to
me with the knowledge of their falSity on
the part of the defendant and with in
tent to cheat and defraud me for the
purpose of inducing me- in reliance there
ON. to pay him the sum of S;..t,W0 which
was in excess of the actual value of the
bonds to the extent of $iV0WU. their actual
value being put at So. 1OoWU.

TO MATOS REVOLUTION.
Rumor That American Asphalt Co.
Rendered Financial Aid.

New York. April 12.-Much excitement is
said to exist in Venezuela over the alleg-
ed discovery that an American asphaIe
company gave financial aid to the Matos
revolution which was put down about
six months ago. President Castro is said
to have declared he has proof that agents
of the company in question aided Matos
in his revolution while the claim of the
company was being considered in the
courts of Venezuela. He has declared
that agents of the company offered about
half a million of dollars to him to have
the courts declare in favor of the CON
cession by which the company gained
rights in the asphalt beds. and that when
ne rejected the offer the company.
through its agents. used the money in
melting the revolution.
President Castro has caused suits to be
entered for the abrogation of the conces-
sionS granted the company. If these suits
should prevail. the recent decision of the
court of Venezuela in favor of
the American asphalt combine would fall
fiat The investigation asserted to have
brought out these disclosures has been IN
progress some time and has not yet been
