THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like fire, the sooner you com bat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always iiber-
ally used in connection with tn home
treatment of colds aud is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time. 1t
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
Pile. 1t relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it. 1t
is Invaluable in household of children.

Weather Forecast For January

According to Irl Hicks, the weather
forecaster, January will be mouth of
storms and cold. During the 18th and
18th rains will visit southern and cen
trail states, turning to snow iE the north
Billiards and very cold will come out of
the north after these storms have passed.
On the 22nd to 23rd the fourth storm
period will be in operation. In all rea-
sonable probability this period will bring
the worst storms and weather of the
month. This is one of the periods when
severe cold will penetrate far into the
south and east. The fifth storm period
reactionary will be central on the 28th
and 10Th. Cloudy, stormy, blizzardous
conditions will lead up to this period.
Renewed storms of rain and snow will
appear in most parts. The month gen
orally will be given over 70 snow storms
and billiards in the north and disagree
able weather in the south.

ATTORNEY AND CLIENT ARE
FOUND GUILTY OF CONTEMPT
NJ. G. Hassett and Annie Peterson
Disregard Order to Appear Be-
fore Judge COffeY.

Imprisonment is in prospect for At
torney NJ. G.. Hassett and his client,
Annie Peterson, unless they are able
to offer a satisfactory explanation of
their contemptuous disregard of Judge
Coffey's order to show cause why they
should not pay inheritance tax upon
the estate of Catherine Burke.
The hearing was on the calendar for
yesterday, but neither Hassett nor his
client appeared. The courts patience
was exhausted and he adjudged the
pair guilty of contempt. Attorney
John S. Partridge, representing the
City Treasurer, prepared an order for
the commitment of Hassett and Mrs.
Peterson to Jail. The amount of the
tax was 1892 SO in December, 1902,
and it is charged that the court was
led to believe that it had been paid,
whereupon the estate was ordered dis
tributed and the Administrative dis
charged. With interest the sum due
now amounts to $26S.

tons that the gravel at bedrock was
worth SO a car and that there was
a rich streak that would yield $40 In
yellow metal to the car. A seventy
foot shaft and other workings at the
time were filed with water and no
investigation could be made. A pay
ment of $4,000 was made for the lease,
and $4,000 was expended in develop
ing the property, whereupon. It is said,
the bedrock was found to be worth
not more than ten cents a car, while
