The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. This
remedy liquefes the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces free expectoration
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in natural and healthy condition. 1t
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
monia. For sale by Longwell Bros. M

THE FRANCHISE QUESTION
Citizen Hitchcock Presents Some
Views on Electric Light Fran
chise to the Public.

Editor Republican:
Were a. B. Hagel to apply to the
city council for permission to use as
an office rooms in the city hall near
the U. s. Land Office and the city
should say they had no use for the
rooms at present, that he might have
the same free of rent and the use of
lights, heat and janitor in addition,
the transaction would be beneficial
to MI. Hager; but when the public
were informed OF the gift from the
city there would be immediate pro-
test. by reason OF the fact that MIR.
Hager was -eceiving from the city a
donation of 1925 monthly.
II the Germania Land Company
had a buyer for the lot owned by the
city on Main street and were able to
obtain $500 for the lot. and with this
proposition in view should offer the
city $500 tor the property and the
city council should say that we nave
no use Tor the lot at present, we
might use the $500 and then deed the
property this sum, whereby the land
company was enabled to reap a profit
OF $500, again as soon as the public
we're informed of this transaction
there would be a serious protest by
reason Of the city giving to this land
company the sum OF. $500 without
anything being received in return
except thanks for the favor.
These illustrations are PLAIN and
cannot be misunderstood. A few
years ago the city granted a franchise
to the Telephone Company and re-
served an interest in certain earnings
by the company. Mr.. Elsie, without
owning capital, borrowed the money,
installed a telephone system and
by reason of the privilege granted by
the city was enabled, within a few
years, to obtain a net profit often or
more thousand dollars over and above
the usual rate of interest on the
money invested, the small per centum
reserved by the city. and the rum
ming expenses Of the system. No one
begrudges the profit to Mr.. Elsie or
blames him for putting the money in
a sack and leaving the city With it,
but tile city donated the principle
part of this sum to Mr.. Elsie. The

The FRANCHISE QUESTION
Mr.. King States He is Ready to
Make a Lighting Contract with
the City Immediately.
the City I

Z. q. King, of Scotland, was in the
city late Friday afternoon and lett
on the evening Omaha passenger for
st. Paul.
Mr.. King is the practical owner OF
the Mitchell Gas Co., and while here
he had several conversations with
parties concerning the franchise ask
ed for by the company which is now
before the city council. Concerning
the time that it is desirable to make
a new lighting contract with the
city MIR. King stated to The ReEub-
lican that he was now ready and will
ing to meet with the council and dis
cuss the contract and that he would
enter into a new contract before the
franchise ordinance was passed, if
the council was ready to take up the
matter. His only desire, he said, to
have the franchise passed at an early
a date as possible was to enable him
to dispose OF his bonds in the east.
and secure $685. 600 i'll cash which he
said he intended to eXpend on the
gas plant i'm converting it into a coal
gas affair.
A day or Two ago The Republican
had an article concerning the making
of a new contract in which a misun-
Outstanding has arisen. MI. King
was quoted by the city auditor, in
response to a question by a Republi-
can representative. as saying that a
new lighting contract would he made
with the city at the end Of the four
years contract. The city auditor
said that he misunderstood the
question asked, which lead to placing
Mr.. Kings statement in the wrong
light, that. il it was CATER the or
dinance had passed."
The tenor OF the article was to the
effect, however, that it was the in.
tention OF the city council to pass the
franchise ordinance that a contract
for lighting should be made before
its passage, and we hold to the same
proposition now.
From the manner in which the pc
tition that is in circulation protest
ing against the passage of the fran
chise ordinance is being signed by
the business men there is hardly any
Likelihood OF the council giving the
franchise, i'm view Of the desire of
the citizens to preserve the privilege
of engaging in municipal ownership.
1t is a utility that the city ought to
preserve.

COLD STORAGE HOUSE
Dubuque Brewing and Mating Co
to Construct a Cold Storage
House in Mitchell.

a further indication of Mitchell's
accessibility as a wholesale and dis

the decision Of the Dubuque Brewing
and Mailing Co., of Dubuque, Ia, to
make Mitchell its distributing center
for South Dakota. The company
recently awarded the contract for
the construction Of the plant to A. j..
Kings and he set the men to work
on the build ing today. The building
will be 24x34, and 26 feet high The
site for the building was selected
about a block west of the Milwaukee
depot.
1t is believed that in a course of
a few days another announcement
can be made of the location of a
very large company in Mitchell for
the purpose Of distributing its goods
throughout South Dakota. While it
is not definitely settled as yet, there
is every indication that Mitchell
will be the favored town for the To-

Sioux Falls has been essentially the
convention city. of the state, but in
the future must divide honors with
Mitchell, and there should be only a
good natured rivalry between the
cities for the entertainment of large
gatherings. One thing that has given
Sioux Falls a lead on conventions.
has been the TACT that it was the
nearest available point for Black
Hills delegates. With the compile
ton of the railroad lines across the
state, this will no longer be the case
and Sioux Falls will not he the lnost
central point for state gatherings.
The fact will not prevent this city
from extending the glad hano to
conventions in the future years and
there Is no doubt but that a gener-
GUS share Of them will come here.
