Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When You have cough do not try to
suppress it,. but remove the cause The
cough is only symptom of some disease,
and he disease is what you should cure, then
cause OF coughing is a cold. inodynes will
promptly suppress the cough. and preparations
containing chloFoform, opium, ETC., are used
for that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Ghamberlan'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 breath
ing and alIaying the irritation and tickling in
the throat. It also opens the secretions and
efectually and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by A-Ray drug

CATTLE FEEDER ON STAND
Chicago Man Tells How One shipment
Was Made Under False
Pretenses.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4-LiveIy interest was
evoked by w. S. Tasker of Chicago, a live
stock commission dealer and cattle feeder.
who testified before the Interstate Com
merce committee today regarding freight
rates on live stock and live stock products
from Missouri river points to Chicago. As
an illustration of the alleged inconsistency
of rates charged by the railroads Tasker
testified that on one occasion ne shipped a
herd OF cattle from points in northwestern
Wisconsin to Chicago by way of South
ST. Paul at much less freight rate than
he could have shipped the stock direct to
Chicago. The tariff from the points where
he shipped in Wisconsin to Chicago was 95
cents a hundred. BY shipping to South
st. Paul and thence to Chicago he was
able to obtain rate OF 15Jk cents per
hundred pounds although the distance the
commodity had to be transported was
! about 300 miles farther than by the direct
route.
How did you manage 20 get that rate for
your cattle by way of South st. Paul?"
inquired Attorney Seaverns of the Chicago
Great Western railroad
by through billing, I suppose. ar
! ranged with a live stock commission
dealer in South st. Paul to have it done
for me-" replied the witness.
You knew when you did that through
the commission house men that the terri
tory from which you shipped was outside
the belt from which that through rate by
way of South st. Paul was allowed by the
| railroads, did you not?" asked the at
| torney.
Yes did"
That low proportionate rate between
South st. Paul and Chicago was only in
tended for cattle shipments consigned TO
| Chicago from points in Montana, the Da-
kotas and Minnesota, and you knew it. did
you notT' asked the railroad attorney.
| Yes"
Then, as a matter of fact, you entered
| into a conspiracy with the commission men
/ 10 manipulate the billing so that cattle re-
/ ceived in South St. Paul from western
points and sold there would appear TO have
/ been shipped through to Chicago. while
