Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence Of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough med
icines that contain iodine, morphine
heroin and other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expector-
ant like Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That IS
why pneumonia never results from
a cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has world wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains
no morphine or other sedative. For

CITY MARSHAL MURDERED.

PHOENIX, Nov. ia strong web
Of circumstantial evidence is being
woven about Jesse Pierce, Ross Daily
the county jail suspected of the bru-
tai murder of City Marshal Peterson,
and Leonard Copeland, who are in
of Mesa, which was committed on the
outskirts of that place last evening
about ten o'clock.
The manner in which Peterson was
drawn out to dark spot on North
Cuber street and there deliberately
shot to death when he supposed that
he was merely going to make a per-
functory arrest of two bicycle thieves,
leads to the belief that his murder
was the elimination of a diabolical
plot and was not committed by fright
ened petty crooks.

DISASTROUS STORM.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE shores OF
Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie are
strewn. tonight with wreckage from
the three days gale and snowstorm,
which cost the lives of probably ov-
er 60 people, turned bottomside up
in mid-lake a 3OO-foot steel vessel
with her crew, wrecked or
grounded other crafts, and caused a
property loss as yet unestimated but
which will run into millions Full de-
tails of the storm which swept from
the westernmost end of Loke Superio
to the eastern shore of the Lake Erie
became known only today when sur
vivors began arriving at the various

INFORMATION ABOUT CIBOLA.

One of the most promising valleys
of the lower Colorado river and one
which IS probably the least known
is the Cibola valley in Arizona sit
uated midway between Parker and
Yuma valleys and opposite the Palo
Verde
The following information regard
ing this little empire taken from
a recent issue of the Yuma Sun.
There are sixty people now living
in Cibola valley. Many of those who
have entered upon land under the
homestead and desert land laws are
living elsewhere but will return to
their lands as soon as work on the
proposed irrigation project is begun,
but at present the means of livihood
in the valley is not sufficient to
maintain a larger number than now
living there The people have built
a substantial school house and eleven
pupils are in attendance.
The shifting Of the channel of the
Colorado toward the California side
has added 5000 acres of land to the
Cibola valley ,and on this newly made
land, which has not been surveyed,
several sQuatters have established
themselves.
The Hoge Ferry, a short distance
above Nortons landing is, as large
as the ferry at Yuma, is operated by
cable and is we'll managed in all
respects.

yates out of the eighth grade from
this school during the past couple of
years are expected to take advantage
of the installation of the ninth grade
and attend school, commencing next
Monday, when the change will take
place.
Included In the new plans for the
school Is kindergarten course. All
children between the ages of four and
six years will be admitted to the
kindergarten class.
The euro ment at the school is now
around so, but it Is expected this will
be materially increased upon the ad-
dition of the ninth grade and the
kindergarten.
