I tried this and I tried that, b-' to no pur- pose. as the coughs hang on and hune on. was finally informed of what Linonine had done for a friends children in curing them of just such coughs as my boys had. and procured a bottle of my druggist. who said he was pleased to recommend 1t to me, adding that it was the best medicine for children that he knew of, as it built them up and made them hearty and strong. Linonine did not dis appoint me as their recovery was speedy and thorough. A recent heavy cold which I contracted was easily cured by Linonine. I unhesi- tatingly recommend it to all, and do not intend to be without it in the house hereafter. Linonine at all drug stores. 2se, soc. s1

 Archie is the least robust of all the presidents boys, but the attending physicians say this does not necessa- rily initiate against his recovery.

 WASHINGTON, March 9.-"My mis- sion to the United States is to help ce- ment new ties of friendship said Se- nor Don Ramon Pima, the new Span- ish minister in an interview. T have not come here," continued the minis ter, ito remind the American govern- ment that 1t defeated us in conflict, but have come on mission to help both countries live down the unpleas- ant past" -.# -.a.#
 When his attention was called to a recent communication Admiral Dewey addressed to a correspondent in which the hero of Manila bay said that he had won his victory over the Spanish fleet by divine aid" Senor Pima said:
 Please do not consider me irrever- ent. but if Admiral Dewey won his victory over the fleet of our navy in Manila bay by divine aid I think ii must have been the god of war; the aid that iron gave him in conquering  wood"
 Senor Pima said that his country had prospered greatly since the war and in;imated that defeat by America real. ly developed in benefit to 1t rather than disadvantage.
 Tt caused the people to awake to the realization" he said. "that they must be up and doing to keep pace with the times. particularly with American progress. and following this both DO. litical and commercial conditions have greatly improved"
 Senor Pima is the first Spanish min ister to Washington since the retire ment of Senor 0jeda in 1905. Since that time the legation has been iu charge of Luis Pastor. the first secre tary of the legation.

SHORTRIDCE SENTENCED TO PRISON
Excitement In San Francisco Over Doodle Accusations and Arrest of We'll Known Lawyer and
 Political Boss.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-Sheriff O'Neil and Coroner Walsh having con- fessed their inability to find, arrest and bring into court Abraham Ruef, the indicted lawyer and politician, who has been declared by Judge Dunne to be fugitive from justice, State Sena- tor w. J. Biggy, a business man, was ordered by Judge Dunne to discover the whereabouts of the defendant in hiding and take him in custody.
 The power conferred on Biggy as elisor authorized him ito take the body of Abraham Ruef, defendant in the case of the people against Abraham Ruef for extortion, and to arrest and hold in custody said Ruef until the next session of the court, when you are directed to bring said Ruef into the presence of this court for trial as charged" E..
 A late report says that Abraham Ruef has been arrested at suburban resort by Elisor w. J. Biggy, who was piloted to the place by Detective Burns.
 This was not the only development in the proceedings in the Ruef case. Samuel Shortridge. attorney of record for Ruef, incurred severe rebuke from Judge Dunne during an exami- nation by Assistant District Attorney Heney into the incompetency of Coro- ner Walsh, appointed by the court as substitute for the disqualified Sheriff O'Neil to arrest Ruef.
 Shortridge persisted in an effort to enter objection to question put by Heney and would not be silenced by the court, who finally adjudged him guilty of contempt and sentenced him to twenty-fcur hours imprisonment in the county jail.
 Shortridge. however, escaped imme- diate incarceration by applying to the district court of appeals for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that no contempt had been committed. The merits of this controversy will be argued before Justices Cooper, Hall and Kerrigan on Monday morning. In the meantime Shortridge is at liberty on his own recognizance
 The ordering of Shortridge to jaii caused excitement in San Francisco. As a lawyer Shortridge is we'll known throughout the state.

 WASHINGTON, March 0.-Follow- ing an alarming sinking spell there has been an apparent change for the better in the condition of Archie Roosevelt the presidents third son. The depression resulting from weak heart action has disappeared, and the physicians report the boys condition as much improved.
 The president told callers that Arch ie was bright and cheerful and that he was very hopeful of a successful fight against the disease.
 No concealment is made that Archie is very i'll boy, but hope of his recov- cry is high despite the stubborn nature of the disease.
 Dr. Lambert's last bulletin says: ''The patient is resting comfortably. No complication has developed, and his
