why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered FROM them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a mo-
ment imagine that colds are not danger
GUS. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
a common cold. Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and devel-
opment of the germs that would not
otherwise have found lodgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases.
Diptheria. scarlet fever. measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has q
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in a cold than 10 any
other OF the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure cold
is to take Chamherlaln's Cough Rene
dy. The many remarkable cures effect
ed by this preparation have made it q
staple Article of trade over large part
OF the world. For sale by the Valley
drug store.

Of excavation of all classes about 100000

pounds of steel. The work has been divided
up into sections embracing. as far as po.s-
stble, one particular class of work each,

Generally the sections have money value
of from 100000 to $4.000.O00 each.
Besides the $35. 100000 of work which has
passed the advisory board. plans for work
at various points on the canal aggregating
an estimated cost Of $120OO,O0O are well
under way. and will be completed this
spring. Work Is now actually proceeding
on many of the contracts which have been
let. and on the others the contractors are
gathering the materials and plants for their
work. getting all ready for the vigorous
prosecution Of the work during the coming
season. An important change in the route

GIVES OFFICE TO OPPONENT.
Counted in Candidate Did Not Believe
He Was Elected.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, January 14.-Joseph
Sherard Of De Kalb county. a farmer. has
distinguished himself for all time by re-
fusing an office to which he did not be-
lieve he was legally elected. Sherard is
democrat.
Sherard was nominated for county judge
on the democratic ticket and made a Wig
orous race. L. D. Fisher. who Is also a
farmer made the race on the republican
ticket and while he was fully as active
as Sherard. he resorted to none OF the
tricks of the professional politician seek
ing an Office Sherard's race was equally
clean. and on the face Of the returns he
was elected.
After the votes had been counted Sher-
ard learned that sixty-three votes had been
cast for IL. D. Williams" who was not
running for office. and as there was no such
man In the county he concluded that the
votes had been intended for his opponent.
L. D. Fisher. The error was In the printed
ballot. not the mistake of the voters in
writing the name. Sherard has resigned
and asked Governor Folk to appoint Fisher
to the Office. believing him to have been
honestly elected.
The face of the returns showed that
Sherard had been elected by forty-seven
votes, but the sixty-three votes for Il. D.
Williams are more than enough to elect
his opponent. Concerning his action, Sher-
ard saws:
"It would have been impossible for me
to have any peace Of mind had / accepted
an office to which I did not believe had
been honestly elected"
The office which Sherard relinquishes
pays IS day while court is in session. In
the course of a year Sherard would have
received between $500 and $1,000. and he
is not a rich man.

Among the passengers were R. e. A.cKis-

some of the woodwork and swapping off
iron rods three-quarters of an inch thick"
Six first cabin passengers and thirteen
persons in the second were detained at Ellis
Island. The reason for not permitting these
to land was not made public.
Mai. w. Cook Daniels of Denver, who
was a passenger, has been away from home

in this country for few months and then
return to follow up nis researches. He left
