O'Clock in Cheat river. The accident
occurred about one mile above the
Beaver hole. The body was recovered
on Sunday afternoon about one O'Clock
after many people had been engaged
in dragging the river.
Aaron shaffer was with Mr.. Glib.
son at the time Of the drowning.
The two men had been engaged in
making up a raft, which was owned
by Gibson.
one end of the raft broke away
from the bank and the rope holding
the other end was parted by the strain.
The river was swollen and turbulent,
Both men became excited when the
rafe broke loose.
shatfer told Gibson to remai0 on
the raft while he swan to shore AMI
carried a rope with him. He sat
down and started to remove his
shoes. While doing this, Gibson
jumped overheard and being unable
to swim was drowned before the
face Of shaffer. who was unable to
rescue him. If he had had ten
foot pole the rescue would have been
made.
The alarm was at once given and
parties began to drag the river. John
and Jake Bress found the body on
Sunday afternoon as stated above.
Gibson was about twenty years Of
age and was the son OF zacheus Glib.

PROTEST AGAINST QUARANTINE

HAVANA, March 31.-Decided pro.
tests against the establishment of an
American quarantine against Cuba,
originally set to become effective to-
morrow. have been made and 1t is
hoped that the obnoxious order will be
repealed by the Washington author
tiles. The quarantine is declared to
Be in violation of the convention be-
tween the United states and the Latin
American republics, providing that no
quarantine shall be established unless
yellow fever is reported within five
days Of the sailing of a vessel.
The establishment Of quarantine at
this exceptionally early date will ruin
the tourist traffic for the carnival and
will seriously interfere with CONNER
cIal transactions, as it always does.
Locally the enforcement of the reg
uIations is considered entirely un-
justifable, inasmuch as the last known
case of yellow fever was discharged
from the hospital on February 2s and
the last infection, which was that of
an American soldier at Santa Clara,
was reported on February 81.
The local health authorities declare
there is no reason for the early re,
establishment OF the quarantine and

Greatest interest IN to-day's primar-

odell has been making in this city to
wrest the control OF the local Repub-
B.
Iican organization from Herbert Par
sons. Followers of Parsons are at
tempting to rally local leaders against
the intrusion of the Newburg politician
with prospects of success. Efforts to
elect true Hughes delegates at the
primaries in the Twenty-ninth Assem-
bly district have precipitated a bitter
fight between the Hammond-P Parsons
faction ami the men who want the
delegates to be for Hughes from start
to finish.
All is apparently peaceful in the
Democratic camp. with Tammany in
full control of the situation. Leader
Murphy has gone on record for an I'M
instructed delegation to the Denver
convention, and the delegates selected
in to-day's primaries will probably re-
fleet this sentiment.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
(From the Chicago Tribune }

Nrroil tue SHlCasC ITlDuue.l
"Don't t-'ifle with cold," is good ad-
vice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in the case of child.
Proper food, good ventilation and dry,
warm, clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they are main
tained through the changeable weather
OF autumn. winter and spring, the
chances OF surprise from an ordinary
cold are slight. But the ordinary light
cold will become severe if neglected and
a well established cold is to the germs
OF diphtheria what honey is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life at this
season Of the year is the neglected
cold" Whether it is child or adult.
the cold slight or severe, the very best
treatment that can be adopted is to
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
Is sa fe and sure. The great popularity
and immense sale of this preparation
has been attained by its remarkable
cures of this ailment. A cold never re-
suits in pneumonia when it is given.

had caught her around the waist and

juring the child Juliet swung her light
ly back to the captain. who caught
her In his arms with q cry of Joy.
