COUGH REMEDY
A MEDICINE OF REAL WORTH
AND MERIT.
It Not Only Cures Colds and Grip,
But Prevents Them From Re-
sulting in Pneumonia.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lung diseases,
of which colds, Group and whooping cough
are the most common. Those who have
used it for years and are in position to
know its real value, assert that it is with.
out IN equal for the treatment of these dis
eases. It not only cures colds and grip, but
>countsracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
It has come into almost universal use as 4
preventive and euro for Group, and has never
been known to fail
In cases Of whooping cough it keeps the
cough loose, e:spectoration easy and renders
the paroxysms Of coughing less frequent and
less severe, delriving that disease of all dan
gerous consequences.
1t is pleasant toiake, which is Of much
importance when the medicine must be given
10 small children.
It contains no opium or other harmful
substance, and may be given as confidently
10 baby as to an adult.
It is an ideal remedy both for adults and
children, and we think the most perfect and
most efectual yet produced in any country.

Parkersburg, Jan. 23.-That which a
husband can not do he has asked the
courts to accomplish for him. Former
Parkersburg people figure just now in
a novel suit begun in Chicago. 1t Is
a case wherein Bernard j. Flynn has
filed a bill for an injunction to re-
strain his wife, Norah K. Flynn, from
talking. 1t is rare undertaking FOR
a court to endeavor by legal means
to close woman's mouth.
The F'lynns were married in New
York year ago. After leaving there
they lived in Chicago and Parkersburg,
the former home of Mrs. Flynn, and in
Milwaukee.
In his complaint plaintiff alleges he
earn as much as $4,000 a year, If his
wife would let him alone, but he
charges her with injuring his rep
utation with his friends and en-
ployers. He AYERS she has s40.-
600 worth of property in New
York and property valued at $4,000 in
Parkersburg. which she controls her
self and which he has never interfered
with Mr. Flynn is said to be accom-
plished and polished and his wife cul-
tured and beautiful.
Plaintiff asks for sweeping enjoin-
ing order, one which would not only
prevent his wife from talking to lr
about him, but which would prevent
her from even calling to look at him
wherever he may be living or en-
ployed.
Mrs. Flynn says her husband has
left her and she thinks he married her
for her money. She intinates that she
will have a story to tell when the
proper time comes. She ayers her hus-
band has not been working for several
months.

T Patrons of Miss Anna Evans, the
miliner, will recall young woman
by the name of Alma Spencer who was
employed with Miss Evans during the
fall and early winter. She came from
Minneapolis. When she left here Miss
Evans gave her check for $50 in final
payment for her services, but when the
check was returned to Miss Evans by
the bank it had been raised to $50.
There was nothing difficult about
changing the cipher in fifty to nine, but
between the word fifty" and the print
ed word dollars" there was such small
space that it was necessary to cramp
the word mine" quite perceptibly.
There are two witnesses to the check
as it was originally made out-Miss
Evans, who signed 1t, and an assistant
who filled in the dates, Miss Spencer's
name and the amount. Sheriff Qualley
located the girl at Leroy last Friday
and arrested her. She was brought to
DEBORAH and appeared before Justice
Barthell, who bound her over under
$500 bonds, to await the action OF the
grand jury.
