Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumon-
ia always results from a cold or from
an attack of the grip, and that by Civ
ing Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack Of pneumonia may
be warded off, This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment Of
pneumonia with the best results.
DR.. w. j. Smith of Sanders, Ala, who
is also druggist, says of it: Il have
been selling Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and prescribing it in my prac-
tice for the past six years. | use it in
cases of pneumonia and have always
gotten the best results Sold by Chas.

N. w. u. Notes.

The students are availing themselves
of the beautiful weather to get in trim
for the coming base ball season. On
Monday the campus was filled with
candidates for the two open positions
on the team. We have Notre Dame on
our schedule this year and that means
good and hard practice, for Notre
Dame usually has strong nine. The
now building makes it necessary to
move the diamond quite distance TO
the north.
During the past week a number of
teams have been hauling dirt for the
new building and some masons' impli-
ments. On Tuesday morning quite a
number of men began work on the new
building.

an agent for Golfers admitted a few
days since that that paper had suf-
fered terribly in it's circulation because
of the lying article written by Lincoln
oteffens few months ago attacking
Senator Spooner and other prominent
Republicans. Several weeks afterward
Uncle Ike Stephenson. who was
given as the authority for the SANDER

statements. but neither the magazine
nor Lincoln Steffens had the decency
to repudiate their dirty work. In one

Use of Empty Cigar Boxes

Empty cigar boxes must be de
stroyed.
They can no longer be used for dis
play purposes, if they have trade
marks, labels or other decorations up
on them.
The new order, it is expected, will
cause d stir among dealers. Boxes
which had been emptied of cigars, or
empty, unstamped. labeled boxes sent
out from factories for decorative pur-
poses were used by dealers to fill up
shelves and give stores appearances
of fulness. This no longer can be
done, according to the ruling Of the
international revenue department at
Washington.
"According to this new order. in
ternal revenue officers, the country
over, will begin on May l a movement
against the use Of empty cigar boxes
loi uoCoIdUl'e puFpOoeS VI CIduo dG-
tractors by tobacconists, druggists and
all other merchants who handle cigars.
The order is based upon recent inter-
probation Of section 2455 of the revised
statutes dealing with the disposition of
empty cigar boxes and packages con-
tanning tobacco of every description.
1t will be unlawful for any dealer to
make any use of empty cigar boxes, if
there remains upon the box either the
government revenue stamp, the eau
tion notice required on all boxes or the
brand mark including the factory and
federal district number.
The order says dealers must be
punished if boxes with any of the
marks enumerated are displayed. The
punishment is fine from $50 to $500"

Rapid Growth of University,

In explaining the need of an in
creased income, President Van Hise
of the State University called attention
to the remarkable growth in the Uni
versity during the past two years, and
showed that in the present year the
University has $50 more students than
two years ago, when the last appropri-
alton was made. If the same rate of in
crease continues, as there is every in
dication that it will, the university two
years hence will have to provide for
l, 100 more students than it had when
the income was fixed two years ago.
One Of the causes Of this growth is
found in the rapid increase in the
wealth Of the state, which makes it
possible for more parents 10 give their
children the advantages of univers-
ity education. What the university
needs. therefore, President Van Hise
explained, is some measure for financ-
ial support which will expand auto
matically with the needs of the Uni
versity and the wealth and population
of the state. The method which the
bill provides for University income
will maintain a proportion between
the increase in the wealth of the state
ap6 tho ipcraaCa In tho ottop3onoo oe
the university. Provision will thus be
made for adequate buildings and
equipment for the increasing number
Of students from year to wear.

Besides attending strictly to business

High Water in Rock River

The water in Rock river has risen to
an unusual height the past week. and
it is said to be higher than ct any
time since 1881, when much damage
was done by the floods resulting from
d fOur-foot snow fall. Tuesday the
water covered the foundation of the
new Masonic temple, which during the
normal stage of the Rock projected
four or five feet. A portion of the
Hustsford dam has been carried away
and this has greatly increased the
fOl ce of the water. At johnson Creek
it is reported, the railroad bridge is
in danger of being washed away, and
more or less damage is being done by
floods ali over the state.

United States, and the secret OF hel
royal birth made known through the
papers, Princess Velva Marie Won Dorm.

pold of Belgium, has left Milwaukee,
on flying trip to New York.
The princess. who has been living
under the assumed name of Mrs. Philip
Alton. is on her way to the eastern me-
tropolis to confer farther with repre-
sentatives Of her royal father with a
view, it is thought, of arriving at an
agreement that will allow her return,
with her husband, to the Belgian court.
Philip Louis Prelau, who is Philip AL
ton, is still at All Scott street. where
he and his wife have lived since last
July, with Mrs. r. G.. Higgs.
Ihlllp Alton denied himself to all
callers yesterday. He was more than
annoyed at the disclosure of his iden--
tity made on Sunday morning. The
quiet. secluded life he and his wife
have been enjoying for year has come
to an end. Like Jean Vatican and his
adopted daughter, he and his princess
must begin again amid other scenes,
unless the king consents to receive his
son-in law as non-CathOlic. During
the absence of his wife Alton will con-
tinue at work in the Office of the Rock
and Sixth avenues.
