That Tickling IN the Throat.

One minute after taking One
Minute Cough Cure that tickling
in the throat is gone. 1t acts IN
the throat--not the stomach.
Harmless good for children. A.
l. Spofford, postmaster at Ches-
ter, Mich, says; "Our little girl
was unconscious from strangula-
ton during a sudden and terrible
attack of Group. Three doses of
One Minute Cough Cure half an
hour apart speedily cured her. I
cannot praise One Minute Cough
Cure too much for what it has
done IN our family" 1t always
gives relief. Sold at Trout's
drug store.

hired a good team and went to Nc
Connellsburg. After thawing the
frost out of their horns at the
Fulton House they appeared on

of that stald old town to some ex-

strike McConnellsburg very often,
the people there do not often hear

themselves following the music
around was ample compensation
for the sacrifice the Hustontown

ant from taking the waters of this

composed of orchardists to fight the
company, and is one Of score OF
similar suits filed.
Charles Miller, the plaintiff, and Ru-
dolph Wilkes were the only witnesses
to-day. They testified that pumping in
adjoining ranches affected wells on
their places and they believed the i'm
nense works of the Bay Cities Com
pany would permanently injure them.

STANDARD OIL WANTS
TANK AT SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO March AT the meet
ing of the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners this afternoon, the application
of the Standard Oil Company. through
its local representative, G. Sykes,
for the right to construct landing at
the pier head line and connect it by a
pipe line with a large crude oil tank
to be erected at the foot of Twenty-sec-
ond street, was considered and set for
hearing on March L. The company
proposes to put in tank for crude oil
to held 20,000 barrels. The oil will be
brought here in tank steamships and
pumped through a pipe laid along the
bottom of the bay to the tank on
shore.
The company is under contract with
the HawaiianAmerican line to supply
its steamships with oil and the desire
of the vessels to take oil here is one of
the reasons for the application. An
other reason, however may be the de-
sire TO secure an outlet for the Union
Oil Company.
