Chamberlains Cough Remedy the Best Made

I'm my opinion Cham berlains
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker of Por-
terville, California. There is no doubt
about its being the best. No other
will cure cold so quickly. No other
is SO sure a preventive of pneumonia.
No other is so pleasant and safe to
take. These are good reasons why it
should be perferred to any other. The
fact is that few people are satisfied
with any other after having once used
this remedy. For sale by John E.

TWENTY DAYS UNDERGROUND
THIRTEEN CoURRERES MINE
VICTIMS RESCUED.
We're Taken out Alive Alter Having
Been EntOmbed Twenty Days
All Well Hut One.

Lens, FTance.-Thirteen of the
miners who were entombed in the
Courrieres mine at the time of the
great fire disaster there March 10,
we're taken alive from the mine early
Friday by a searching party, which was
engaged in exploring the mine.
The men had lived 20 days shut off
rom the light and almost deprived of
air. With one exception they we're all
we'll when reached by the rescuers, al
though they could not have lived much
longer. The rescued miners were taken
from shaft No 2. AS the searching
party was engaged in this shaft noises
we're heard. The explorers called out,
and there were answers to their shouts.
They began digging hurriedly in the
direction from which the answers
came, and finally dug out the miners.
they were quickly taken back to the
foot Of the shaft and lifted to the
ground above.
When they were shut off from escape
by the explosion and fire which fol-
lowed, the miners took refuge in sta
BILE used for the muleB employed in the
mine. They had subsisted for days on
the lunches of their dead comrades
which had been taken down the DAY of
the disaster. With this food exhausted
they resorted to eating wheat and oats
which were kept in the stable for the
mules. Water was also found, and the
miners managed to sustain life.
There was little nourishment, how
ever, in this food, and it would only
have been a question of hours when
the men must have succumbed. One
man was already in serious condi.
ton, but the others were we'll.
One of the rescued miners was a boy
of IA, who had endured the hardship'
to which all had been subjected with
all the courage manifested by his sen
| Tors.

Seven Steamship Loads Of EurO-'

New York.-Over eleven thousand
immigrants arrived in the harbor of New
York Thursday on board seven steam
ships from European ports. This num-
Der is the record for single day which
has been made thus far during the an
nual spring rush of immigration.
Ellis island, where these immigrants
are examined, and either rejected or
admitted to the United States, can
care for less than half the days ar
rivals, its limit being 5000 daily.
Those who can not be landed will
be kept in the harboT on their steam
ers until later in the week. The immi-
grants include the following natlonali-
ties: English, Irish, Germans, Swedes,
Hungarians, Portuguese and Russians.
Arrived with Smallpox.
New York, March 30.-The steamer
Rhein, which has arrived from Bremen
with 276 cabin passengers and 1899
Storage passengers, is detained at
quarantine with smallpox on board.
The patient, steerage passenger, was
in the ships hospital under treatment
nine days before arrival. He will be

A st. Louis Woman Killed and Her
Aged Sister Probably Fatally
Hurt Mt New Rochelle, N. "

New York.-Mrs. Alvin Stein
of st. Louis, was fatally injured, and
her sister, Mrs. George Kucbler, of New
Rochelle, probably fatally hurt in that
village, Sunday, by being struck by an
automobile. Mrs. Stein had come on
to attend the celebration of her sisters
seventy-third birthday anniversary.
The women were walking in the
roadway and did not hear the approach
of the automobile which struck them,
and in which were riding two men and
three women. Mrs. Stein and Mrs
Kuchler were hurled with terrific force
against the stone abutments of a rail-
road bridge. Mrs. Kuchler's skull was
fractured and she suffered serious in
teTnal injuries. Mrs. STEMS left arm
was broken and crushed and she also
suffered internal injuries. Both were
taken to a hospital, where Mrs. Stein
died few hours later.
After the act the automobile was
driven away at rapid rate. The po-
lice claim to have the number Of car
and are trying to trace it's ownership.

HAILED WITH SATISFACTION
FRENCH PRESS AND PUBLIC ARE
WELL PLEASED.
While France DId Not secure All She
Wanted ut AIEeeiras, Hex Degree
of Success IL Considered Fair.

Paris.-The agreement reached at
Algeciras is hailed with satisfaction by
officials and by the public press, which
is weary Of the prolonged controversy
and the disturbing possibilities Of war.
The view in Official circles Is that
France secures a fair degree Of success
on the principal questions relating to
the police and state bank. However, 1t
Is recognized that neither France nor
Germany has secured all that was
wanted. Frances desire to have con-
troll of the police was partially realized
in her being allowed to police the i'm
portant Atlantic ports including NIGGA
dor, which Germany was suspected as
coveting, and also with her ally, Spain,
to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
On the other hand, 1t is thought that
GermaRy's desire to internationalize
Morocco was partly realized, as the
Franco-S Spanish police is subordinated
to an inspector who will report to the
diplomatic corps. Thus both countries,
in a measure, were successful, but each
is so safeguarded that neither will be
able to claim a victory. Frances pa
ciic penetration of Morocco, it is
thought, is remotely postponed, as 1t
is likewise to the cream Of the vast
northwest African empire. Aside from
the details of the great achievement,
the officials consider that the agree
ment between France and Germany as.
sures the preservation of the peace OF
Europe.

Immigrants.

Washington.-The reported arrival
of $4,000 immigrants at, Ellis island
last week has created alarm among
labor leaders, particularly those in

charge has been made that many OF
the immigrants were being brought
to this country in anticipation of a
coal strike and that they will be used
as strike breakers.
No evidence has been adduced to-
show that the coal operators or their
agents had contracts with any of the
immigrants. 1t" is limited, however,

Missouri Supreme Court AnnuIs Re-
ceivership of the Peoples Unit
cd states bank.

st. Louis.-The Missouri supreme
court in Jefferson City reversed Friday
the action of the st. Louis county cir
cult court in appointing Fred Essen re-
ceiver for the $2,5OO,OOO Peoples Unit
ed States bank, of which e. G. Lewis is
president.
An opinion defining the scope of the
decision will not be handed down for
several weeks. The decision means,
lawyers say, the end of Essen's receiv-
ership, and replaces the affairs Of the
bank in the hands Of the directors. It
is said, however, that the directors
can not continue the operation Of a
bank without obtaining a new charter
and starting anew.
Receiver Essen, when told by re-
porter that the supreme court mad set
aside the receiveTship, said:
Good. I'm glad of it. I'm about
through with the bank, anyhow. What
do l mean? Merely that every debt has
been paid, the depositors have get ev-
cry dollar due them and there's only
between $4,000 and $4,000 stock out
standing.
we've made two payments on the
stock, the first 50 cents on the dollar,
the second 35 cents. We are paying
out IS cents on the dollar.

/ NOTED MISSOURI CASE
United states Supreme Court
Doesn't Recognize Common Law
MarrIage of white and negro.

Washington.-An important opinion
was rendered by the supreme court,
Monday, in the case of Ellis Keen VS..
Sophronia Keen, involving contro-
versy over a small tract Of land in st.
Charles county, Missouri, to half I'M
terest in which Mrs. Keen made claim,
as the widow, and to all of which Ellis
Keen made claim as a son of Eli Keen
by a negro common law wife. 1t APP
peared from the record in the case
that as far back as 1851 Eli Keen had
begun to live with a negro woman as
IL she were his wife, and although no
marriage ceremony was performed, the
relation was continued until 1888. The
woman was everywhere recognized as
his wife, and several children, among
them Ellis, were born to them and
were recognized by both of them and
by the community as their offspring.
In 1888 Eli Keen was married in West
Virginia to Sophronia Keen, claiming
that be had never before been married.
When he died Mrs. Keen made claim to
one-half Of his estate as his widow, and
the Missouri courts recognized the
claim, deciding against the contention
of common law marriage to the ne
gro woman. The opinion in the case
was delivered by Justice Brown The
writ of error was dismissed The eff
