Asevere cold or attack of la grippe
is like afre, the sooner you combat
it the better your chances are to
overpower it. Bat few mothers in
this age are willing to do the nee
essary work required to give a good
oId-fashioned reliable treatment
such as would be administered by
rgrandmothers, backed by Bos-
chee's German Syrup, which was
always literally used in connection
with the home treatment of colds
and is still in greater household
favor than any known remedy. But
even without the application Of the
oldfashioned aids German Syrup
will cure asevere coldin quick time.
1t will cure colds in children or
grown people. Itrelieves the con-
gested organs, allays the irritation,
and effectively stops hecough. Any
child will take it. 1t is invaluable

the inquiry, which lasted four months,
and which had been very thorough

and imprisoned, but not without the
privilege Of giving bail, of which he
did not choose to avail himself.
Following the arrest of Albers, the
American consul, Chester Donaldson,
who possessed no diplomatic privil-
eges whatsoever, as he was simply a
commercial representative took the
extraordinary course OF appealing in
a note directly to President Zelaya.
for Albers' release President Zelaya,
as the case was wholly within the
jurisdiction of the judiciary, he was
without authority to interfere before
verdict was rendered and sentence
imposed. Again there was q similar
exchange of personal correspondence
between President Zelaya and Consul
Donaldson after which the consul adj
dressed an offensive letter to the presi-
dent, beginning with the third person
and concluding in the first, but not
signed, demanding the release OF Az
bers within "a hours, saying If this
was not done, he would not be respon-
sible for the consequence. This letter
was not only offensive, but 1t contain
ed false asseverations, and in it Mr..
Donaldson intimated the desire to
leave Nicaragua. Thereupon the as.
sistant minister for foreign affairs was
sent to personally inquire If the consul
was the author of the letter and to
give him the opportunity to withdraw
It.
"Mr. Donaldson acknowledged the
authorship and reiterated his de.
mands. whereupon his exequatur was
cancelled"

CARROLL COUNTY
Arrangements Made For One OF the
Best Is Associations
History.

Carrollton, o., Sept. 4.-The Carroll
county fair board met this week and
completed some arrangements for the
fair, which is to be held the second
week In october. The Carrollton band
was hired to play each day OF the fair.
In arranging the horse classes, no
class had been prepared for ponies, and
as there is large number Of fine bred
little animals in the county, class was
arranged, and good number will un-
doubtedly be entered for competition.
A rate of one fare for the round trip
for all stations within so miles has
been secured. Heretofore the best rate
obtainable has been a fare and a third.
This will undoubtedly be the means of
bringing large crowd, as the present
schedule of the w. G. l.. e. allows full
day In town for passengers from either
direction.
The fine new cattle barn that Is be-
Ing erected upon the grounds is nearing
completion and will add greatly to the
facilities for the display of cattle. A
new ticket Office will be erected at the
upper end of the grounds.
Several special features are to be Sc
cured Already arrangements have
been made for balloon ascension and
parachute drop by two women aero
nauts. Altogether, this will be the big
event of the year in Carroll county.
