why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted or
binary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind.do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Every one knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in n common cold. Con-
sumption Is not caused by a cold but
a cold prepares the system for the
reception and developmentfo rthe
germs that would not have otherwise
foundlodgment. It is the same with
all Infectious diseases. Diphtheria.
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
Youwill see from this that more real
danger turks in a 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 1t a staple article OF trace
over a large part of the world. For

CAR SURPLUS
Does Not Bother the Rail
roads Any More AS They
Are Now in Use.

As an evidence that prosperity is
returning in a large degree the car
question with the railroads is an eX-
cellent example During the closing
two months last year more than 400
900 railroad cars in the country were
idle. but from the reports compiled
last week there are now less than
35. 900 surplus cars, all but this
number having been put back into
service as the result of increased bust
ness.
The decrease in the surplus of cars
ha been gradual, which shows that 1t
was in no wise due to any spurts or
furries in the business world, and the
fact that business conditions have
grown better to such fan extent has
given encouragement to railroad in
terests, and once the election Is over
it has been announced by several
large trunk lines and companies that
heavy orders for rolling stock. motive
power, rails and other railroad equip
nent will be placed with big manu-
featuring institutions. with the ultt-
mate result that abig revival in bust
ness will occur.
This has been forseen by number
OF railroads, which are already pre-
pairing to place orders for equipment
so as to prevent the possibility OF
being compelled to face a car short
age proposition. The business condl-
tions the country over have advanced
as has the railroad business this be-
ing evident from the fact that the
amount of business transacted by the
railroads is regarded as an index to
general conditions.

that railroads over which Bryan's
schedule to Chicago had been arrang-

not making proper preparations to
transport the candidate.
John MCCLELLAN, secretary of the

road employees had called him up by

formation to the effect that the delayed
Bryan train was the result of a con.
spiracy; that information reached the

Chicago. Nov. 2.-(Argus Special. y
Democratic success is assured and the
election of Bryan and Kern seems as
certain as anything can be in American
politics. The reports which within the
past few days have come to the demo
cratic national headquarters from all
sections of the country are so optimis-
ii and show such a preponderance of
sentiment for Bryan that the demo
cratic managers hesitate TO announce
them, fearing that to do so would lead
to overconfidence on the part of the
workers. 1t has been necessary to dis
count them in some instances so per
cent in order to reach a conservative
estimate and at that the indications
point to democratic landslide
Bryan sweep from New England to the
Pacific.
Out of Doubtful Column.
For three weeks Ohio, Indiana
Maryland and Nebraska have been out
of the doubtful column and safe fol-
Bryan. Still the situation in these
day adds to the size of the democratic
majority. The Bryan week in New
York has placed that state in the dem
ocr:tic column along with Ohio ant
Indiana. Ten days ago Bryan nigh
have had only a tare majority in New
York, but today he is assured of $4,000
majority, and perhaps more. Well in
tormed men place the figure as higl
as 100000, but one-half that amount i
regarded as safe and conservative.
A careful canvass of the situation
in West Virginia during the last 81,
days of the campaign shows that stat
also in line by majority of not les
than 10000, while Kansas has beel
shaping itself for the past two week

Surprises From West.
The surprises came from Iowa an,

lpaign the democrats had little, If any

expectation of winning in these two
states. and despite the most fiattering
reports indicating victory the demo-
cratic managers are reluctant to do
more than place them in the doubtful
column with strong Bryan leanings.
The change in Iowa, which has never
heretofore gone democratic in ma
tional election, amounts to nothing
short of a political revolution: yet the
leaders in that state are absolutely
confident that Bryan will have ma
jority of the votes there.
A gallant fight has been conducted
in California. The showing is that
The majorities in the northern half of
the state, including San Francisco
which with the union labor vote so
strongly for Bryan will return a big
democratic vote, will more than over
come the republican lead in southern
California. Despite assurances the
state is placed in the doubtful column.
Chances Are Good.
Democratic chances are regarded as
best in New Jersey, Delaware, Wis
consin and Rhode Island. while there
IS strong fighting chance for democ
racy in Illinois, Oregon, Washington
and Connecticut. The fact is that
democratic reports and polls show
these states for Bryan, but for the
purposes of conservatism they arc
placed in the doubtful column.
Every day since the opening of the
campaign has seen democratic pros
rects brighten and its cause advanced
by leaps and bounds. Doubtless Bryar
could have been elected three month:
