no greater quantity Of explosive than
twenty-five pounds shall be stored
within the city limits. Also that the
walls and coverings Of the building in
which they are stored shall be non
combustible and twelve inches thick.
She maintains that the shanty in
which the fatal explosion occurred
was insecure and that powder in ex-
cess Of twenty-five pounds was stored
within.
The petition asserts that Brown
was without the fatal shanty and that
he was killed by flying timbers.

heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and il for child they al
most invariably recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The reason for
this is that they know there is no dan
ger from it and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in giving
it, and for coughs, colds and Group it is

to the fact that the Mountain
Mutual Fire Insurance company
was not paying it's losses. The
Newspaper editor has been repre-

He also stated that the free ad-
vertising that these mentions of
non-payments had given the
company such a boost that many
policies were being written in
the vicinity Of Paonia. But it
seems that even this could not
save the company as it was
ordered out of business last week

ment. For months this paper has
given it's readers to understand
that the company was un-sound

is candidate for the presidency
of Cuba on the Liberal ticket has
made various charges of a seri-
Gus nature against the Cuban
government to the effect that the
rights of the people are trampled
under foot by the Palma admins
tration and that fear of assassina-
tion prevents the people opposed
to the government from express
ing their views.
In short he declares that liberty
in Cuba is dead and that the situa-
ton is as bad as it was under the
brutal rule Of Weyler, the COVER
nor-general sent over by Spain a
short time before the outbreak
of the Spanish-American war.
President Palma emphatically
denies these charges and the
American people will be disposed
to accept the denial as correct.
He has conducted the adminis-
tration with wisdom and discre-
ton, prompted by a sincere love
of country and guided by the
spirit which animates the people
Of the. United States in the
management of their public af-
fairs. He conducted himself
with coolness and good judgment
during the whole period of the
war between Spain and this
country which followed. He re-
sided in the United States long
time, having been compelled on
account of his services in behalf
Of Cuban independence to leave
the island during the latter years
of Spanish rule.
The credit for the establish
ment of a stable but republican
government in Cuba belongs to
President Palma rather than to
anyone else. He has had many
difficult matters to deal with, but
SO far as possible he has solved
them with advantage to his coun-
try and to the credit of his adj
ministration. There is no doubt
about his reelection, notwith-
standing the opposition of Gomez
and others who may not have re-
ceived as great personal ad-
vantage from the administration
as they desired.
Gomez seems to belong to the
class of Spanish-American lead
ers who in Venezuela and other
such countries organize revolu-
tions when their political hopes
and ambitions are defeated in
the ordinary course of events.
Fortunately, he will not be al
lowed to start a movement of
that kind in Cuba. The guard
ianship Of the United States will
require that order be preserved.
