DOES SURELY BREAK A COLD.
Also Ends all Misery from the Grippe
in Just Few Hours.

There is not one grain of quinine
in Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most miser-
able neuralgia pains, headache, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever
ishness, sneezing, sore throat, run
ming of the nose, catarrhal affections
soreness, stiffness and rheumatic
twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years research at a
cost of more than fifty thousand dol
lars, and contains no qulnine, which
we have conclusively demonstrated is
not effective in the treatment of colds
or grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no ether medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after effects as a
25 cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

MRS ARNOLD HAS
NO T|DINGS OF
DOROTHY
Mother Of Lost Girl Returned
Yesterday From Europe.
INTERVIEWED ON STEAMER
Has Not Consented to Daughters
Marriage with George
Grlscom

New York, Feb. 13.-Mrs. Francis
r.. Arnold, mother of the missing
Dorothy Arnold, arrived yesterday
from Europe on the Cunard liner,
Pannonia. She said she had no in
formation even as to whether her
daughter were alive or dead She al
so reiterated her opposition to a
marriage, between Miss Arnold and
George s Griscom, Jr. Mr.. Griscom
has said that he had no doubt Miss
Arnold was alive and that he would
marry her if her mother would con-
sent.
The interview with Mrs. Arnold
was kept under his own control by
John w. Arnold, brother of the miss
ing girl, who went down the bay on
n revenue cutter and boarded the in
coming liner. The questions asked
of her were answered only after he
had had plenty of chance to confer
with her as to their subject matter.
At first he would not permit her to
be seen at all.
John Arnold told the reporters he
would join them in the smoking room
Of the ship after he had talked with
his mother. When he came from the
stateroom, he said.
There is nothing to tell you, gen.
tlemen. My sister is not on board
and that's all there is to it."
He had said on the way down the
bay that there was no reason to be-
lieye his sister was on board, as no
message to that effect had been re-
ceived from his mother. In answer to
further questions, Mr. Arnold said his
mother was unable to throw any new
light on the mystery of his sisters dis
appearance. He was asked how his
mother was.
She is quite well, he said, but is
naturally very much upset"
one reporter was selected and went
with Mr.. Arnold to see his mother.
She was dressed in black and over
her face was very heavy veil, sug-
gestive of mourning She is a wom-
an OF So or 60, rather stout, with a
plump face and fresh complexion.
She seemed much affected when ques-
toned about her missing daughter
The first question asked was as fol.
lows
Have you received definite infor.
nation since the disappearance OF
your daughter that assures you she is
aliye?"
None, none," she murmured In q
voice scarcely audible.
Il beg your pardon" said the repor
ter, but | am not quite sure OF your
answer
Il have received no word" she sale
in clearer voice, that tells me she
is alive or dead"
The other question was then asked
as follows:
Have you consented to the mar
riage of Miss Arnold and Mr.. George
Griscom Jr?'
This time the answer was very de
cided in tone and accompanied with q
vigorous shake OF the head.
No. she said, decidedly not"

MOTHER KILLS SON
AND SELF UNDER
DEATH PLEDGE
Wife Of Dying Maine Farmer
Signs Written Agreement.
ILLNESS DEPRESSED FAMILY
Mrs. Linwood s. Keene of Oxford,
Me-, Shoots Fourteen Year Old
Son While He Sleeps

oxford, Me-, Feb. 13.-In fulflllment
of an agreement alleged to have been
made with her husband in the course
of his lingering illness, which death
ended Saturday, Mrs. Linwood S.
Keene took her own life Sunday after
fatally shooting her fourteen year old
son, Gerald The agreement dated
about a month back. and was found
by the Coroner in sealed envelope
In the woman's room.
Keene was formerly a prosperous
farmer, but, according to the agree
ment, the family had become impov-
erished and discouraged by his long
sickness. He was 3S years old and
his wife a year or two younger
The document found in a dresser in
Mrs. Keene's room, with several fare
well letters to relatives, bore the
names of both Mr.. and Mrs. Keene,
although the husband apparently had
been too feeble to inscribe more than
his mark, his name being written by
his wife. The document recited
briefly the family troubles, the result
Of Mr.. Keene's Illness. In it his
death was predicted, and it was stated
that as both the parents thought it
would be wrong to have their son re-
main in the world to suffer the troub-
les they had experienced, Mrs Keene
bound herself to do away" In the
words of the agreement, with herself
and their son, Gerald, as soon as pos
sible after the death of the husband
and father.
Friends of the family while in the
house yesterday assisting in prepar-
ing the body of Mr.. Keene for burial
heard shots fired upstairs. They
found the boy Gerald in bed in his
room with bullet wound in his right
temple. SO close had the revolver
been held to his head, probably while
he was asleep, that the hair about
the temple was singed. The boy was
alive, but unconscious. He lived less
than an hour.
Meanwhile the door of Mrs. Keene's
room was found locked, and repeated
knocks bringing no answer it was
broken in Mrs. Keene's body was
found stretched on the bed. There
was bullet wound, showing that she
had placed the revolver muzzle to the
roof OF her mouth and fired, death pre-
badly being instantaneous. The re
volver was on the bed beside her.
Directions regarding the disposition
OF the bodies were left in letters e
relatives to whom also SOME small
gifts were made OF the personal be
longlngs Of the family.
Husband and wife wished to b,
buried in double coffin and asked
that their sons coffin and theirs b,
placed in the same box for final in
terment. So it has been arranged
and the triple funeral will be helC
here next Wednesday.

OPPOSED TO FERRETs
Rensselaer, County sportsmen on
Record Against "Buqs"

Troy, Feb. 19.-Local Rod and Gun
club members and sportsmen in gen

at the court house to discuss game
laws and needed changes. The gath
ering was under the auspices of the
Rensselaer, County Sportsmen's asso-

II. A. Connolly president of the asso-
citation.
Rensselaer, county is prolific in
game, birds, hares and rabbits partic-
ularly 1t was pointed out, and the
same is true of game fish, such as
black bass and trout. But, notwith-
standing the plentifulness of this
game supply, prevailing methods fol-
lowed by lawless hunters and fisher
men, threaten destruction to legiti-
mate sport, and this condition calls
for energetic effort in behalf of pro-
lection Of such birds as partridge,
woodcock and quail, and also to rab-
bits and fish. The meeting went on
record in favor of a law which will
prohibit the use of ferrets in rabbit
hunting. and also in favoring of max
ing the hunting season from October
l TO December 81, instead of at pres
ent from October l to February Is.
There was considerable discussion
over placing limit on the number
OF rabbits hunter might legally bag
in a day, but sentiment was to the
effect that IL the ferret ic aliuina tod
there need be no alarm about too
