Bronchitis and HOarseness
in Five Hours

Much is being done in these days TO
stop the ravages OF consumption. but
probably nothing has been so effective
as teaching the public how to break up
a cold and cure coughs. bronchitis, ton
silitis. etc. with simple home-mixed
medicine free. from opium. poisons, etc.
A laxative cough syrup, free from
whisky and pOisons is the prime need.
A cough indicates Inflammation and
congestion and these in turn are due
TO an excess Of waste and poisOns in
the system. A tonic laxative cough
syrup rids the system OF congestion
while relieving the painful coughing.
Get the following and mix at home:
One-haR ounce fluid wild cherry bark.
one ounce compound essence cardfOI and
three ounces syrup white pine COM
pound. Shake the bottle and take
twenty drops every half hour for 'fourN
hours. Then One-half to one teaspoon
full three or four times daily. Give
children less according to age. Cut this
out and save it for some friend.

Dunno has refused steadfastly to take
any hand in the political affairs of the
corporation. and this will necessitate
the appointment of special agent.
Walter Parker has acted for several
years as Herrin's political lieutenant
and viii take over, to a large extent,
this phase of the work.
Go Into Effect Soon
1t is understood that these changes
will go into effect some time before the
opening ofthe next fiscal year. Herrin
Will retain his offices in the Flood
building and will make such trips
across the continent as may be re-
CURED. He will stand in somewhat
the same relation to Hartman as the
late William d. Cornish, who acted as
Harriman's personal representative in
the various corporations.
The first move toward the reorgan-
ization was made when Paul Shoup was
given supervision of certain of Har-
riman's private interests. In this way
Shoup relieved ,Herrin of important
duties which he had formerly exercised
Gradually Herrins work has been as
signed to others, all with the idea of
leaving him free to take the important
position that Hartman had in mind.
With the law department transferred
to Dunne's shoulders and the burden
of the political work transferred to
Parker. Herrin will be able to assume
his more important duties. AS a part
Of his preparation for this, Herrin has
recently made a tour over the Mexican
lines of the company.
With the practical certainty of these
changes has come gossip of other Of
hcial transfers. all in line with the
general plan of reorganization.
1t appears to be a generally accepted
fact that Hartman has obtained con-
troll of the New York Central lines.
Gossip has it that ]. T. Harahan, pres
ident of the Illinois Central, is to be-
come general manager of the New York
Central in view of the support he gave
Hartman during the recent battle with
Stuyvesant. Fish. The presidency of
the illinois Central. according to these
same rumors, may go to E. E. Calvin,
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific. Should this change occur, it is
generally conceded that W. H. Ban
croft, general manager of the oregon
Short Line, could succeed Calvin should
he desire, but it is believed that Ban
croft will prefer to remain where he is.
Among those who have been men
toned as most likely to take Calvins
place in case of his promotion are
Thornwen Fay. general manager of the
Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific
and w. R. Scott, assistant general man.

HUSBAND DISCHARGES
DENIED BY WIFE
Mrs. Stirling Says Alleged Mis-
conduct With Lord Nortfland
Is VilIainOns Lie

EDINBURGH, Feb. Interest in the
Stirling cross suits for divorce was re-
vived today when Mrs. Stirling began
her defense against her husbands
charges that she had rlisconducted her
self with Lord Northland.
Mrs. Stirling was Clara Elizabeth
Taylor. an American showgirl before
her marriage to John Alexander stir
ling. The accused wife made pathetic
figure. Several times she was over
come with tears and her denials of
the charges against her were most en-
phatic.
She characterized many of the asser-
lions of the husbands lawyers as VIII
famous lies, and she replied to the
allegation that she had been seen kiss
ing Lord Northland on the stairs by
saying that she was not a housemaid.
She admitted that she had been indis-
Greet and silly but she averred that
there had been absolutely no improper
relations between herself and Lord
Northland.
She accused Mrs. Atherton of intrigue
to throw her in company with Lord
Northland so she could monopolize
Stirling to herself
Mrs. Stirling said among other
things, that at the time of her wedding
Stirling gave her $4,000, but at the
end of 1907 her husband was in finan-
cial difficulties and she handed him the
entire amount back. She now had
nothing.
This case throughout has been not
able, even among divorce cases, for
its extreme outspokenness, but the
women in the audience have sat
ha hna VII writ aof,,
Today, however, the questions were so
intimately delicate that counsel would
not proceed until every woman had
been cleared out Of court

stolen $4,000 worth of jewelry and Sc
curities from his trunk at a hotel here.
testified that the defendant last April
borrowed from him $1,000, and that in
August he gave her $1,000 more, taking
as security an assignment on her faith
er's estate in California.
Giles said Mrs. Dunphy had told him
she expected to inherit a large sum of
money from the estate. Giles said that
Mrs Dunphy left Boston September /,
supposedly for California. to arrange
for the settlement of the estate. Giles
said that he left Boston September II

a telegram from Mrs. Dunphy from
Missoula. asking him to meet her there.
He left for Missoula and stayed with
Mrs. Dunphy's relatives.
LEFT WITH WOMAT
The morning after his arrival, Giles
testified, Mrs. Dunphy told him the es-
tate was not ready to be sold ana
warned him not to say anything to her
relatives I'VE spent three days there.
When / started to get ready TO go
back, Mrs Dunphy informed me 1 would
have to take her with me as she was
without funds said Giles.
After visiting several cities, Giles
said, they came to Chicago together.
While on the train" continued the
witness, Il made arrangements to have
our trunks delivered at the Great
Northern hotel. Upon our arrival in
the city, however, we were unable TO
secure accommodations at that hotel
and were compelled to go to theTransit
house at the stock yards.
TRUNK WAS LOOTED
1.-The next day / was informed that
there was a room at the Great North
ern and We went there. Three days
later. we prepared to continue our Jour-
ney TO Boston, and after helping to
pack our trunks l left Mrs Dunphy
in the room and went to see a friend -
What was the condition of your
room when you returned"
1 found the place in confusion. MY
trunk had been broken open The
clothing it contained was strewn over
the floor and the valuabies were gone"
The witness then told of the subse-
quent search for Mrs. Dunphy, and of
his next seeing her October 20, when
she was brought into the Boston court
house for Identification
Attorney e. J. Raber for the de-
Tense, in outlining his argument be-
fore the jury, said:
we shall prove that Mrs Dunphy
went to Giles Office in answer to an
advertisement for the purpose of MAX
ing small loan From that day
Giles became madIy infatuated with
her, and pressed his attentions upon
her. We will show that the iewelrv
which Mrs. Dunphy is alleged to have
stolen was given by her to Giles as
securities for the loans, and that on
meeting her obligations they were re-
turned by Giles in Dubuque Iowa. Giles
repeatedly asked Mrs. Dunphy to give
up her husband and marry him, and
at one time threatened her with re-
volver."
