SCHIffMANN'S NEW BRONCHIAL REMEDY


The BUwditch & Webster Co. is willing
to lose the profit which would be made on
bottle of Schifmann's New Concen-
trated Expectorant, and announces that
they will sell regular Soc bottle OF this
remedy for Csc (half price, to persons
presenting the coupon below. but only
for the first bottle TO each person.
Although a remedy for Bronchial Alec
tons, and Coughs or Colds might not
have yet been required so far this sea-
son, it is more than likely that some
member of the family will need some be-
fore it is over, and it will pay to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity now and buy
a bottle at half price instead OF putting
off until later and paying full price.
While losing money, they have decided
to give the public an opportunity Of try
ing this most excellent, successful, new
remedy at no greater price than they
would have to pay for almost any ordi-
nary cough remedy, and are positively
certain that it will be found the best
medicine ever used for Coughs. Colds,
Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis. Whooping
Cough, Group and Hoarseness.

FOR CAPITAL CITY
Bdwditch and Townsend Are
Principal Owners - Factory
Established for the Present
on Gage Street.-The Styles
of Baskets viii Be Made
Product Is a Decided Novelty

The Journal learns from a reliable
source that Augusta is soon TO have a
new industry in the shape Of a factory
for the manufacture Of baskets of va
rious kinds. and from an Interview
with Messrs. Bowditch and Townsend,
who are interested in the matter and
in fact own and control the patent for
the United States and Territories, il is
learned that floor space and power
have been secured OF c. A. Brooks, con-
tractor on Gage street, opposite the
Eaton shoe factory. Special machinery
is now being secured and the com
pany is in hopes to start up just after
the new year comes IN.
II is the purpose Of the company to
manufacture at present five different
STYLES OF baskets. viz: the clothes or
laundry basket, the market or grocer's
basket, the half hushel basket the
bushel basket and the waste basket.
Speaking Of the latter. advices from
the manufacturing centers say that the
war in Europe has caused q great scar
city in this class Of merchandise as
most OF the material for the fancy
baskets has come from Germany and
other countries affected BY the war.
All baskets made and handled BY
this company will bear the familiar
slogan: Made in America" although
later. after the Canadian patents have
been secured Cpatent pending) branch
may be established in the Dominion.
Samples for The wholesalers are ex-
rected to be READY before Jan. Is. The
erinently practical and salable quail
ties Of these baskets appeal 70 all who
have seen them.

Will be held for the first time In the
capitol The commission gave its con-
sent this afternoon to the local com
mittee for the use Of the building.
Heretofore the crowd could not be
ACCOMMODATED. But in the great cor
ridors and special board rooms on the
three floors there will be room and
to spare for all attending, and the
scene will be the most splendid ever
witnessed in Frankfort. Decorations
would look tawdry under the dome OF
the rotunda and on the marble and
granite columns and the vast walls;
but with the lighting facilities OF the
building, the setting will give proper
tions To the affair impossible OF achieve
ment anywhere else.
The only detail decided upon is that
the receiving line with Gov. elect Stan
ley and Mrs. Stanley and Lieut.. Gov
elect Black and Mrs. ]. d. Black will
stand In the State reception room ad-
Joining the executive Offices. The guests
can pass through the room without
confusion and, avoiding the usual con-
gestion about the receiving line. Or
chestras will play in the large board
rooms.
Not only will the capitol afford the
most appropriate environment for the
reception and accommodate the crowd,
but It's three entrances and two APP
proaches for vehicles avert the Gus
tomary congestion at the doors.

FATAL ACCIDENTS
DUE TO Flames.
UNUSUAL NUMBER OF DEATHS
WITHIN THE WEEK FROM
THIS CAUSE.

Thomas Twyman Fite, aged six years
son OF Rev. w. A. Fite, pastor OF the
First Christian church died this morn
ing at 2:45 o'clock from injuries re-
ceiyed Sunday evening about 5 o'clock
when an outing flannel night robe
which he had on, caught fire from an
open crate, from in front of which the
child had removed a fire screen.
The boy had been confined to his
room on the second floor of the Fite
home on Winchester-av. near 22nd for
several days on account of a cut on one
of his hips, which he suffered when he
fell on a piece of glass while playing.
Mrs. Fite was down stairs arranging the
table for the evening meal and Mr.. Ftie
who had preached at Catlettsburg
earlier in the afternoon, was lying down
resting at the time of the accident.
Mr.. and Mrs. F'ite were attracted to
the room in which Thomas and his sis
ter Ruth, aged three and half years
had been left, by the screams Of the
children.
AS soon as Mr. Fite reached the child
above whose head leaped angry flames
he tried to extingush them by means
of a rug and when he saw this method
was too slow, he threw the little fellow
on the bed and smothered out the fire
by means of the bed clothing.
Physicians were hastily summoned
but the boy was past all human aid
and died at an early hour Monday
morning.
The body was taken TO Independence
Mo-. the former home of Mr.. Fite, fol
