A Reputation worth while.

Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy has been on
the market for over one-third of century.
Starting from a small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until the demand for
it often requires shipments in carload lots.
1t is now on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in the
United States. There is no question as to
Its merits; in fact, the enormous sale on it
has been brought about TO large extent by
the personal recommendations of people who
have been cured by it. When you use a
remedy for a cough or cold and find it far
superior to any other that you have ever
tried, it is natural that you sheuld tell your
friends of your good fortune. It has become
the motherS favorits for coughs, colds ard
Group as they found that it can always be
depended upon, and that it contains no opium
or other harmful drugs. During these years
IN which we have been making, selling and
using this preparation we have never known
of single case of a cold resulting in pneu-
monia when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used, which leads us to believe that ii is
certain preventive of that disease. The
fact that 1t can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success it enjoys

Federal Inspector investigates
Charges Against Head of
PaSO Robes Office
Good Government Club Objects
TO Remarks COnd0ning
Attack on HeHey
Henry Denies the Impeachment
and Evidence of Witnesses
Proves Conflicting

Local postofice inspectors forwarded
to President Roosevelt yesterday a re-
port on the investigation OF Postmaster
Henry Of Psso Robles, who was accused
OF having uttered comments strongly
condoning the act OF Morris Haas in at
tacking Francis J. Heney.
President Roosevelt ordered the in
vestigation. Henry has many political
enemies IN Paso Robles and the charges
brought against him have created much
bitterness in the hot springs town. The
Good Government club Of Paso Robles
was responsible for the charges filed
with President Roosevelt.
The San Francisco call., 1908-12-07
HENRY DENIES REMARK

Postmo ster Henry declares that what
he said could not be construed as a re-
mark in palliation Of Haas crime. A
friend supports the postmaster by say
ing that Henry simply said he would
not have been surprised If Heney had
met violence sooner.
The postmaster's comment was made
in front of cigar store in Paso Robles
on the morning of November IA. the
day after the Heney shooting. A bulle-
tin had been posted announcing the as
sault. end Postmaster Henry in passing
made 2 remark that was soon to echo
in Washington.
Opponents of the postmaster imne-
diately filed charges that he had con-
doned Haas deed.
President Roosevelt, of all the citi-
zens of the United States, was most
deeply moved by Haas attack on Heney
and one Of the strongest condemnations
of the crime came from the White
House. The president was panied to
learn that a federal Office holder in Cal
doned the shooting of the prosecutor.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED
President Roosevelt communicated
through Postmaster General Mayer with
the United States postal inspectors at
this city and an inspector was dis
patched TO Paso Robles. The inspector
went into the case thoroughly, examin-
ing all who heard the postmaster's re-
marks and generally investigating the
conduct OF the Psso Robles Office. The
osuensible object Of this visit to Paso
hooles was to investigate the routine of
the oflce under Henry's management.
But the scope OF the investigation went
far beyond the routine. Late in the
week the inspector returned to this CITY
and reported to his chief
The evidence secured was so conflict
ing that It is not believed that The
charges made against Henry have been
substantiated.

AN UMPIRE THAT
rs AN UMPIRE

Not a decision of Umpire Bob
by Carruthers was challenged yes
terday either by players or fans.
It's a pleasure to watch Bobby in
action. Every time there was a
long hit he would get in alongside
the runner and follow him from
base to base. Once Vic Holm con-
nected for two sacks and Engle
trotted over to first and tagged the
bag, claiming Vic hadn't touched
it. But he had and Bob knew
it, for he was failing Vic all the
time he was running. The old
Canuck gag fell down hard. Balls
along the foul line found Bobby
right there.
A putout by Graham at second
that couldn't be seen from tne
grandstand provoked no adverse
comment for the fans saw Bobby
down there bending over the play
so there was no chance for him to
get wrong. His decisions were so
close on balls and strikes that the
fans got to watching the corners
instead of the batters to determine
If Bobby was right. He was, of
course.
A suggestion to the management
is that instead of trying to load
nus with the players they claim they
are going to finish the season
with" they keep Carruthers in the
umpire's position and as many fans
will go out to see him in action
as to see the team.

sUHE! THAT WAS

Honest, we beat that hard-hitting
crowd from Vancouver, Z to 5, in

Indians hit with all their might.
SO did the Canucks hit with all
their might, but every time they
connected for anything of any con-
sequence an Indian was on his
toes pulling it down out of lne

hits, one by Lou Nordyke that the

The third inning was where the
game was won. George Engle was
pitching a swell game up to that
time. The first man to face him
was Holm, who famed; then Ste
vens made up for it by clouting
one way out back of Hyatt and
made three sacks on it; Hulen
scored him with a double; Clynes
singled and Hulen mounted upon
the third peak; James advanced
Clynes by sacrifice and then Kip
pert connected for triple and
scored Hulen and Clynes. Graham
put one out to center and the side
was retired.
Altogether the Indians found En-
gle for II hits. Hulen, Kippert and
Childers made errors, but luckily
not costly ones. Quigley, Hyatt and
Engle muffed some for Vancouver.
The Canucks tied the score in

HORRIBLE PANG
FOR PLAYERS

Eastern magnateS of the Nation
al league are planning to make the
ball players pay their own expenses
this will go into effect next year
A report from New York last night
stated that the owners of the clubs
were figuring on placing their men
on the same basis as actors. who
always pay their own hotel bills
and other expenses.
They even go so far as to decide
their own uniforms and bats. This
is also keeping in line with the act.
ing profession. where the actors
buy their own costumes and fix
ings." A loud and continued roar
is expected to follow when the
players get wise to this plan of the
magnates.
AS 1t stands at present the men
live like princes on the road, the
owners paying for their rooms and
meals at tiptop hotels. In fact, the
players partake Of the fat OF the
land, and in addition to this draw
their salaries. The only time when
they have to dig for themselves Is
when their team is playing at home
If this scheme of the magnates
goes into effect a large number of
the players will subsist in the flu
ture at restaurants, as they will not
feel like diving down into their
jeans for table d'hotes. The only
thing that is worrying the magnates
is'that their men, or many of them,
may live at cheap hotels and so
tend to cheaper the team. 1t is,
however, stated that If the plan
goes through the magnates will in
