How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in a simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows In a cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by 3 cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is a 'fcold."
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "coid."
 Croup-that terrible malady o1 childhood-comes solely as a condi- tion of a "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con- sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal com plications, are often due to "cold'' which settles in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are rec ognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected "cold' or cough.

The decision of Speaker Banks to re- main in Hartford a few days and hear members as to their committee prefer merlts, carries the outward appearance of an intention of dealing fairly and openly in the matter, and yet it may be but a cover for compliance with the State machines plans for the re- election of Senator Brandegee.

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST THE
 ,a ACCUSED MAN
Did Carpenter Murder Cler- gyman or Vice Versa?- Body Not Identified.
Especial from United Press )


 Port Huron, Mich. Jan. 7.-Sherim Wagensell to-day caused a sensation by announcing that he has no more evidence that Gibson Browning, the Adair carpenter being sought as a sus- pect. murdered the Rev. John H. Car michael and crammed his dismembered body into the stove of the M. E. church at Battle Run, than that the minister murdered Browning. Both have dis appeared One body has been found No one can be found who has seen Rev Carmichael since he left home driving his team and light road wagon to Bat tie Run to arrange a revival meeting at the little church there next week The only man who saw Browning was an eccentric old farmer of Adair who says he saw him in Port Huron night before last.
 Rev. Carmichael was large and Browning was small and of sIioht build. Dr. Thompson, who viewed the body, said that it was very difficult for anyone to identify a corpse in such shape. Deputy Sheriff William Fenton says the church where the ki'''~~ was done resembles slaughter house. The floor and walls were covered with blood and there were pieces of flesh here and there. It is known that the murder took place after dusk for the per- petrator worked by lamp light.

Eastern End Not Available.


Inquiries have been made about using
the end of the park east Of the railroad
bridge as the main aviation field, but the
United States engineer ONCE, which has
this section In charge, says there Is still
too much work to be done there to war
rant the expense that the temporary i'm
provements would cost.
The area east Of the railroad bridge
Is still In the hands of Capt. Morrow.
the engineer officer who has charge Of
the dredging of the river channel and
the Improvement of the Potomac fats.
It is intended to do considerable fill
ing east of the bridge before this section
IL brought up to grade. and this work
will REQUIRE some time. The area of this
peninsula Is now covered with weeds and
small willows. For a distance 1900 feet
east of the bridge 1t is still from III to
feet below the contemplated grade, and
for the remainder of the distance it is
lower in places as much as 10 feet
It Is calculated by the engineer office
that this section will take 100000 cubic
yards of material from the river channel
TO bring it to the contemplated grade.
There is a provision in the next river
and harbor bill for doing this work. but
II is not likely that it will be completed
before January. 1911. 1t will take only
a few weeks to dredee up the material
end distribute it over the park but it will
have to rest for almost year before 1t
is in condition to grade. 1t would be
possible to clear and seed the area for
temporary use by early In the spring.
For the Endurance Flights.
The Office Of public buildings and
grounds, under Col. Crosby, is interested
In seeing use made of the western end of
the park for the endurance flights. They
point out that there is a stretch Of about
two and one-half miles, from Goth street
to the railroad bridge, practically unob-
structed. The use of the extreme western
section would necessitate clearing the
ground of weeds and seeding it down, but
the creation Of a public park in this
stretch is a thing that the Office has had
In view for some time and the improve
nents here would be permanent. The
course is about two and one-half miles
long and is not quite an equilateral tri-
angle. The improvements would cost COM
paratively little, and probably could be
made out Of the current appropriation
without being drain on anybody.
