Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a
Persistent Cough -Relieg
Found at Last,

"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough, which
Invariably extended over period OF
several weeks and causad her many
sleepless nights" writes VIII j.
Hayner, editor of the Burley, Colo,
Bulletin. "Various remedies were
tried each year, with no beneficial re-
suits. In November last the cough
again put in an appearance and my
wife, acting on the suggestion Of
friend, purchased bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The result
was indeed marvellous. After three
doses the cough entirely disappeared
and has not manifested itself since"
This remedy is for sale by all drug

COUNTY WANTS GOOD ROADS
r. Biehler, Herington, Makes a
Sensible Suggestion.

Sensible Suggestion.
EDITOR REFLECTOR: | am one oil
your subscribers and admirers Of
your paper and am with you for
good roads. We ought to all Of us
ask our representatives in the legisla-
ture to pass law that will give us
good roads, at least good dirt road.
Our representatives should also see
that q clause be put in good roads
law that will in certain length Of
time do away with narrow tires on
our farm wagons. In fact on all
wagons that will hold up 1900 pounds
or Hi0re, we should not have less than
a 4 inch tire. Newspapers tell us
about the good roads in foreign coun'
tries. But don't know as they ever
mention that they won't allow less
than inch tire on a two horse
wagon. Yours for good roads,
FRED BIEHLER,
[Mr. Biehler's suggestion about
wide tires is right. California has
wide tire law and the use Of wide tires
IN the heavily loaded wagons does
much to preserve the roads and pre-
vent the deep ruts that are so de-
tructive to highway. -Editor.]

duces q Right Measure.
ToPEKA, Feb. 10. The house com
mittee on state affairs made favorable
reports on two good roads bills today
Both bills were introduced by Charles
A. Case Of Abil,n and were exact
duplicates Of the Hodges good roads
bills in the senate. The house com
mittee reported both bills without
amendment and they are now on the
calendar.
One bill provides for a state good
roads engineer and county engineers
and the other provides for a license
tax on motor cars to raise the money
to pay the salaries Of the state and
county engineers.
The house committee on roads and
is opposed to any form Of
good roads bill that creates state
engineer, but it has reported dirt
roads bill providing for county en-
gineers. The Case bills would never
have been reported from this COM
mittee and the only way to get the
measure out was to have to bills sent
4
10 another committee and get re-
port from this. 1t is believed that
he house membership will enact
rood roads bill providing for . state
'ngineer when it is seen that the
motorists will have to pay most Of
be cost Of the extra officers. The
Iouse members opposed to good
Dads were opposed to the bills chiefly
ecause they believed motorists
you'd receive more benefit from the
Of the money than any
ne else. 8

SOLOMON, Feb. 1.-THE Union Pa

A string Of box cars was thrown
through the round house The new
cars, Of which the Union Pacific is
getting many, are difficult to work.
Paint, varnish. etc., gets into the
brakes and clogs up the works SO that
it is difficult to throw them. A sting
Of cars was thrown onto siding lead
ing to the round house. Under ordin-
airy circumstances the brakes would
easily have stopped the cars before
reaching the round house. But these
were new cars, and the brakes
wouldn't work. One side of the round
house was caved in.

scented a resolution indorsing Col. John

ment or the Potomac. when il convenes
In February. Meantime. a vigorous cam
paign will be waged throughout the coun-
try for Endorsement Of Col McElroy's

Col. McElroy Is thoroughly Identified
with Washington interests, owning sew
eral handsome properties here. He Is a

OF the credit for the handsome monument

Elroy, who was the first TO suggest the
project and he personally collected a
large sum before the country at large

cred equal to the best. While no didn't

some eighteen months testing the Quali-
ties OF seven OF the Southern prisons, in

noted OF them all-Andersonville. He
