Severe Attack Of Grip
Cured By One Bottle Of Cham
berIain's Cough Remedy,

when | had an attack Of the grip
last winter (the second one) ! actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N Y. This is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night
l would take a dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
comparing pains. To sly that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. | had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because Il had
never tried it for such a purpose, but
it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration. but
the pains were far less severe, and
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu

GOVERNMENT WILL NOT
OPPOSE TRUSTS MOTIONS
Final Decision In Case In Which Fine
Of $2e,24o,ooo Was imposed
VIII Be Has
tened
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-No contrary mo-
lions will be filed by the government
against the petition for a certi1cation
of certain questions to the supreme
court of the United States, which at
torneys for the Standard Oil company
recently sent into the United States
circuit court of appeals here.
This announcement was made TO the
latter tribunal today by Edwin w.
Sims, United States district attorney,
who has just returned from a confer
ence with Attorney General Bonaparte
in washington. The determination not
to contest means final decision in the
s29, 24O, 900 fine Will be fastened. At
torneys for the oil company ask that
their contention that the Elkins law
was repealed by tho passage OF the
Hepburn act be certified to the supreme
court at once, SO 1t may be adjudicated
In connection with a case involving the
same point, In which the Great North
ern Railroad company Is Interested.
If the contention is upheld the de-
cision would operate to invalidate not
only the Indictment upon which the big
fine was based, but also large number
of indictments involving charges of re-
ceiving or giving rebates.
Mr. Sims announced after the court
proceedings that it had been decided by
himself and the attorney general that
the remaining cases for alleged receipt
of rebates against the Standard OIL
company will be called for trial next
week.

CHANGES IN ALDRIcH BILL
DISCUSSED BY COMMITTEE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Very little
Roadway was made today in the consider
alton of the Aldrich financial bill by the
senate committee on finance. The men,
bers of the committee spent an hour
talking over various phases of the finan-
cial needs of the country and Offering
verbal suggestions.
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
offered his plan to put the supervision
of the emergency currency issues In the
hands of a board instead of in charge
of the secretary of the treasury. The
Hansbrough plan was not generally
agreed to, but some of the members OF
the committee evidently desire some dr.
ferent system than the one proposed IN
the bill.
Among the amendments discussed was
one by Senator Bailey, providing for the
distribution of the increased circulation
among the states in proportion to their
banks capital. No action was taken IN
the proposed change, but so many men,
bers appeared to regard it with favor as
to Justify the opinion that it will be ac-
cepted.
There is also a probability that the
bill will be amended to Increase the
amount of circulation to be issued by
the banks to 80 per cent of their capital

BILL TO CoDlFY PENAL
LAWS TO BE AMENDED

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-So persistent
have been the efforts made in the house
on reports to amend the bill codifylng
the penal laws of the United States that
the committee on the revision OF the laws
today consented to let down the bars,
and as a result the measure was changed
in some important particulars. The pa
cific attitude of the committee In TINS
regard served to modify the opposition
members, and in consequence the pro-
ceedings today were devoid of the heated
arguments which have characterized the
previous debates.
When the house at 1850 p. m. adjourned
there were pending number OF other
important amendments which seemed TO
meet with no particular opposition by
the committee, but which were passed
over until tomorrow in order that the
members might have time to consider
them carefully.
The portions of the bill which attracted
the most attention were those covering
the giving and accepting of bribes by SEN
ators and members and the sale OF IN
dorsements or support for appointive
public offices 1t is to the amendments
touching these questions that the house
tomorrow will devote itself upon resum-
ing consideration of the bill.

CHANlBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY

This we'll known remedy has been
on the market for one-third of cen
fury. 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 ques-
ton as to its merits; in fact, the enor-
nous sale on it has been brought a
bout to large extent by the perso-
nal recommendation of people who
have been cured by it, When you
use remedy for cough OF cold and
find it far superior to any other that
you have ever tried, it is natural that
you should tell your friends of your
good fortune 1t has become the moth
ers' favorite for coughs, colds and
Group, as they found that it can all
ways be depended upon and that II
contains no opium or other harmful
drugs. During these years in which
we have been making, selling and US
ing this preparation we have never
known of Single case of cold re-
sulting in pneumonia when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy was used, which
leads us to believe that it is certain
preventive of that disease. The fact
that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success
1t enjoys.

ATTEMPTS TO
KILL MAN WHO
WRONGEDHER
WOMAN FIRES AT PROMINENT
ATTORNEY
Crime, in Chicago Similar to That
Perpetrated in Washington When
Mrs. Bradley Slew Former
Senator


BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The case of Mrs
Thomas Metcalf, who last evening shot
at Banker John r. Walsh's attorney,
Samuel r. Hamill, in the federal build
ing here, parallels in some respects to
the case of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley Of
Salt Lake City, who was recently ac-
quilted in Washington after killing for
mer United States Senator Arthur M.
Brown, also of Salt Lake City.
Mrs Metcalf is a former resident of
Hamilps home city, Terre Haute, Ind.
She and her husband. from whom she
is said to have been estranged, were at
one time active In the work in the same
church that Mr.. Hamill is a member.
She had at times called on lawyers here
with a view to bringing legal action
against Attorney Hamill for alleged
wrongs which she claimed to have suf-
fered at his hands. AS in the case OF
Senator Brown, who had travelled from
his home city, Salt Lake City, Utah, to
Washington on an important legal mis-
sion and was shot by Mrs. Bradley, who
had followed him from Salt Lake. Mrs.
Metcalf is said to have followed Hamill
across the continent.
MIS-. MeLcalI Is u native OIL OenNeT.
From that city She is said to have trav-
New York to Chicago. She has recently
been earning a living on the stage, APP
pearing in minor parts.
United States District Attorney Sims,
who returned from Washington today,
said:
Planned to XIII Him
From what 1 have gathered 1 under
stand that the woman had planned to
shoot Attorney Hamill while he was
making his closing argument In the
Walsh trial. but she was misinformed
as to the day he was to address the jury,
and hence the plan failed, for this
reason"
The secrecy observed by federal Of
ficials with reference to the affair was
said to have been due to a fear on the
part of the government representatives
that In the event of conviction of John
r. Walsh, the attempted shooting, oc-
curing as 1t did close to the court room
where the trial was in progress, might
be sufficient grounds for reversal by a
higher court, by reason of having DIS
concerted the Jurors In the case.
Attorney Sims declared that the diff
Guilty between Mrs. Metcalf and Attorney
Hamill was a private dispute and had
no connection with the Walsh trial
Attorney q. C. Ritcher of Walsh's
counsel in a statement said that the
trouble grew out of a claim which Mrs.
Metcalf believed she had against an es-
tate in ST. Louis and which she wished
to have adjusted by Hamill.
Mrs Metcalf, through her attorney,
waived examination when arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Foote
and was held to the federal grand jury
in bonds of $1,000
Mrs. Metcalf after her arraignment de-
clared that her correct name was Mrs.
Beatrice Thomas, and she asked that
further proceedings against her be con-
Quoted under that name.
She was taken to jail in default Of bail.

THREAT OF GRIP
AND ITS DANGERS

1.-THE increased mortality OF the last
three weeks from lung affections fol-
lowing attacks of grip, emphasizes
more than ever the necessity for nurs-
ing an initiatory cold.
The Herald, always anxious con-
corning the public health, has repeat
eddy called attention to the dangers OF
undue exposure during inclement
weather, and now reitGrates the in
junction with still more earnestness IN
view of present conditions.
Most Of the fatal cases of pneumo-
MIA at this time of the year are due to
the lack of timely treatment of what
appears to be a simple attack of bron-
chial catarrh. The taking of the
stitch N time is at the bottom of all
questions of prevention of other more
serious ones lying in wait for solution.
It is well to take into account IN
such connection that February and
March are generally considered the
most fatal months for pneumonia,
especially when influenza is prevailing
even in mild epidemic form.
Thus far we have escaped = vista
ton of virulent form of the latter
malady, but there is abundance of time
and opportunity for the development
of severe epidemic, with the usual
aftermath of alarming mortality.
The effective treatment of an ordi-
nary cold is matter of a day or two
against possible subsequent sickness
for weeks.
The indications of q severe attack
of influenza are headache, chilliness,
general muscular pains, fever, sore
throat, cough and systemic lassitude
When these show themselves no time
is to be lost and the patient should
give up work at once and promptly
place himself under proper medical
care. New York Herald.

BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Senators For
aker and Dick did not hesitate to let It
be known among their colleagues today
that they would continue to Illustrate as
far as may be in their power any alleged
attempt of the president to turn federal
patronage into a machine for nominating
presidential candidate.
The success OF these two senators yes
terday In securing the rejection OF four
Ohio postoff1ce nominations had aroused
the senate to a knowledge of the fact
that they are investigating at the present
time no less than twenty-five Ohio ap-
pointments which have reached the COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads, and
have been referred to Senator Dick as
subcommittee. These nominations are
simply known as the held up" kind, so
far, and they may or many not go through
for confirmation, according to the way
the two Ohio senators view them.
Such is the power Cf any pair Of sena-
tors from a state that nomination which
is looked upon by them with disfavor
never gets past the postoff1ces committee
with a favorable report.
Several other Ohio federal appointments
are held up at the instigation of the two
senators.

HOW TO CURE
THE GRIP

Rest, warmth and quiet are the three
sovereign remedies for this disease, and
the best preventives of its secondary
complications. Go to bed and remain
in bed until we'll on the way toward
recovery. Two or three days in bed
when you first contract the disease is
better than two or three weeks later
on. Also take double dose of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy to begin with
and then the regular dose every hour.
If it should nauseate, discontinue il TN
til the nausea subsidies and then take
it in smaller doses or less frequently.
Before going to bed take two of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
and battle the feet in water as warm
as can be comfortably borne If the
attack is severe one take sulphate
of quinine in doses of two grains each,
every four hours, for a few days. 1t
will help up the vitality and enable the
system to Withstand the attack.

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
WHAT is IT'S EFFECT ?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men in
published interviews. The most i'm
portant points emphasized by the fam
GUS doctors are these:
Grip is highly infectious.
Grip stimulates other diseases.
Grip has an extraordinary effect on
the mental functions.
Grip picks out the weak points in a
PERSONS constitution.
The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or bron-
chitis and the aged who sink from
heart exhaustion
Children while prone to the disease,
enjoy comparative immunity from Its
complications and dangers.
Grip shows a decided tendency to
relapses, feature to which the indi-
rect faculty of the disease is in great
measure due.
Alcoholic stimniants are not only
unnecessary but positively harmful.
At attack of the grip seems to rem
der the individual more liable to con-
tract the disease from future expo
sure.
The attack comes on with lightning
like speed. A person in apparently
perfect health is suddenly overcome
by a feeling Of discomfort. He feels
chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy
Of an ague His head aches. There
are pains in his eyeballs and other
symptoms characteristic of the dis
ease soon follow.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Awakening MEM
cries of the triumphs of Adelini Patti and
Christine Nilsson, Madame Luisa Tetraz-
zini, the italian prima donna whom Lon
don within the year has showered with
honors, made her New York debut to-
night in Verdis la Traviata" at the
Manhattan opera house.
Before a brilliant audience that crowd
ed every inch of space in the big audi
forum Madame Tetrazzini scored a tri-
umph such as has been the good fortune
of but few great singers.
Twelve timese she was called before
the curtain at the end of the first act
to acknowledge the applause and cheers
which came as enthusiastically from the
boxes as from the galleries and calls
followed every curtain thereafter.
The new star has a wonderful voice
of exceedingly wide range and mellif1uous
timbre. New York had not taken so
much interest in a musical event In years.
