 IV MURDER CASE
Not Sufficient Evidence, Judge
 Abernethy Rules

After hearing the states evidencs against John Anagyros, Pete Koukie and James Kougis held in the county jail on a technical charge in connec- tion with the murder of Paul Harduvel, Greek restaurant keeper, 1235 Fifth avenue, north, on election night, Judge B.

It was stated in court that the assailant entered the restaurant, shot Harduvel without warning and then robbed the cash register of about $40.

Night Coughing
 How to Stop It

Night coughing which, through loss of valuable sleep, often makes you feel utterly worn-out and use less during the day, and by quickly weakening the system lays you open to the most dangerous infec- tions, can now be promptly checked by a very simple treatment. Peo- pie who have hardly been able to rest on account of coughing spells have found that they can sleep the whole night through undisturbed often after the very first trial.
 The treatment is based on a remark able prescription known as Dr. Kings New Discovery. You simply take a tea spoonful at night before retiring and hold 1t in your throat for Is or 20 sec onds before swallowing it. The pre- scription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals the soreness and Irritation, but 1t quickly loosens and re- moves the phlegm and congestion which ls the real cause of the cough. The result is that you usually sleep as soundly Hs a babe the very first night, and the cough goes in very short time.
 The prescription contains no opiates or harmful drugs. Excellent for children as well as grown-ups. For coughs, chest colds, hoarseness. sore throat, spasmodic croup. bronchitis, laryngitIs and bronchial asthma, At all good druggists. Ask for
