Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because GU have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is. not caused by :. cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgement. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whoop: g
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has a, cold You
will see from this that more real dan
ger turks in cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it a
staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by Wilkin-

SOCIETY MAN
WAS MURDERED
Mrs. BeiseI, Sister Of Mrs. Erb, un.
der Arrest, and Mrs. Erb Ar.
rested this Afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.-Investi-
cation by the coroners jury today re-
vealed the fact that Capt. ]. G. Erb,
the well known politician and society
man was killed by bullet fired at
the back. Sensational revelations are
expected in the shooting case. Mrs.
Katherine Beisel, a sister OF Mrs.
Erb, is under arrest and despite the
statement she fred the shot in self
defense, is today facing a charge OF
first degree murder. The police de-
clare Mrs. Erb will also be arrested.
Mrs. Beisel said she wrested the re-
volver from Erb at his home last
night and shot and killed him when
he attacked her for protecting her
sister She will make no other
statement. District Attorney Mac
dade says the woman could not wrest
a revolver from man bent on MUIR
der. Erb was attired in his pajamas
at the time he was shot. His body
was found in corridor on the second
floor where 10th Mrs. Beisel and Mrs.
Erb say the shooting took place. They
admit quarrel occurred on the floor
below.
Following conferences between de-
tectives Mrs. Beisel, who last night
shot and killed j. Clayton Erb, Dis
trict Attorney Macdade this afternoon
ordered the arrest of Mrs. Erb. She
was taken from her home and placed
in a cell at the Media Jail where Mrs.
Beisel is locked up.
A feature which the police are not
overlooking in the investigation today
is that the first news OF the killing
was taken to Media by Eugene Paul
son, the negro coachman, who was
some time ago indicted on the testi-
mony of Mrs. Erb for threatening as
sault. Despite this indictment the
negro continued his position with the
Erbs. According to his story Paulson
was sleeping in his place in the stable
when Mrs. Beisel called him and told
him Erb was killed and wanted him
to get help.
