Some SeasonabIe Advice.

1t may be a piece of superhuods ad-
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted aud before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hest
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
herman and W. f. Creighton & Co.

Hnppad and Kissed in Court.

Judge Pollard yesterday dismissed the
charges against Mrs. Lillian Sprsgue for
discharging firearms in st. Louis, which
grew out of the recent sensational shoot
ing at the home of George Morton,
general passenger agent of the Katy
road, and named as C respondent 10
Edwin A. Sprague's recent successful
divorce sui, against his wife. The
Police Court room was crowded with
a fashionable throng when the Sprague
case was called. Many stylishly
gowned women from the West End were
present and when Mrs. Sprague was
discharged they crowded about her
hugging and kissing her. Judge Pol
lard gave as his reason for dismissng the
case his knowledge that felony charge
had been lodged against the defendant,
but Judge Harvey, counsel for Mrs.
Sprague, said be is confident Morton is
endeavoriDg to hush up the whole mat
ter and prevent a public trial, which
would expose bis relations with Mrs.
Spragne.

Anxiety in Finland.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 7.-Advices re-
ceiyed from Helsihgfors by the govern
ment have aroused fresh fears as to the
continuance of peace and order in Fin
land. Evidence is accumulating daily
which shows that widespread plot is
being Matched for an uprising in Fin
land. While the threads of this plot
have been picked up here the
authorities in Finland have been
been unable to locate the principal
sources from which the movement is be-
ing directed. 1t is reported that seizures
of quantities of Rrms aud ammunition
have been made, but the entire lot OF
arms which has been seized, thus far,
is very small in proportion to the entire
quantity of war stores which it is known
revolutionists have secretly imported in
to the country. Urgent representations
are being made to the government for
Hesingfors, asking that at lea't 20, 600
more troops, with artillery, should be
sent to Finland. The government, how
ever, hesitates to take this step lest il
should instantly start a revolution.

Mr.. HULL, of Iowa, chairman OF the
House military committee, thinks a treas
urv deficit a good thing. "My expe-
rience has taught me-" he says, "tha'
when there is full treasury, with an
annual surplus, the appropriations by
Congress are in excess of what they
ought to be. Every man thinksit is his
duty to get part of the money for bis
own district and he does all in his power
to that end The proper thing to do is
to cut down the expenses in the future
and do nothing toward increasing the
revenues" Mr. HulPs advice to cut
down expenses is all right and proper,
but he must remember that deficit will
not prevent some congressman from get
ting all out of the treasury they pos
sibly can.

Emneror william TO Visit Pope.

Rome, Oct. THE report is current
here that Kaiser Wilhelm will shortly
pay a flying visit to the Pope for the
purpose of comforting with the pontiff in
regard to the suggestion made by the
latter that the Vatican shall be represent
ed at the coming peace conference
to be held at The Hague on the
suggestion of the Gar. The Kaiser
has undertaken to support the
demand made by the Vatican for
this representation, and his visit here
will be for the purpose of talking the
matter over with the Pope. Italy, it is
reported, will not renew the objection
she made al first to the presence of a
papal delegate at the conference. If his
effort to secure representation in the con-
gress for the Vatican is successful the
Pope is ready to concede extensive priv
ileges in the hope of protectorate over
the eastern Catholic mission as compen-
sation for Germany's display of good
o,;ll
