(From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.] This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neigh borhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost assure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in the case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to “throw up the phlegm” quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will pre vent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Cherokeo Drug Co; L. D. Allison—Cowpens. No one else can solve your problem, or work out your riddle. You stand or fall by it.

Nov. 11.—It is stated here on authority that it is too late tor Colombia to mak-e any effort to resurrect the canal treaty with the United States and beyond preventing a hostile clash between Colombia and the new republic Panama, the pro posed visit of General Reyes to Pana ma will be without result.

Panama as an independent state, can not now proceed to negotiate with Co lombia on any terms for canal rights in a state over which Colombia exer cises no political control so any future canal negotiations will lie between the United States government and the gov ernment of Panama. Our ambassador at Berlin has cabled the state department that he has been requested by Baron Bichthofen, the German foreign secrtary, to inform the Washington government that the report that Germany intended to be come involved in the isthmian situa tion is entirely without foundation and that nothing is known in Berlin of the intention of Colombia to appeal to Emperor William for assistance as was alleged in a recent interview by the Colombian consul general at New York. Mr. Tower adds that he was further assured by the foreign secre tary in a most earnest and sincere manner that the question of Germany’s interfering in Panama simply did not exist. The statement is authorized that the information conveyed to our ambassa dor at Berlin was entirely voluntary on the part of the German government as the view of the Colombian consul general at New York had been ignored here. The action of the Berlin gov ernment is thoroughly appreciated by the Washington government for, al though it merely confirmed what the state department already knew the moral effect of the reiteration at this time of Germany’s friendly attitude to the United States will not, It is thought, be lost on the other powers.

Much of the Report Is Devoted to the Militia with Recommendations Re garding Same—Men Killed in Action or Died of Disease. Washington, Nov. 11.—The annual report of Acting Adjutant General Hall of the army was made public to day. It deals with every phase of the military establishment. The ac tual strength of the army on Oct. 15, 1903, was 3,681 officers and 55,000 enlisted men. There were last to the army during the year "iided June 30, 1903, 29,279 men, as allows: Men Lost to Army. One hundred and thirty-eigh’ officers, of whom 25 were killed in ^ lion or died of wounds or disease; 28 1 41 en listed men, of whom 837 were .illed in action or died of wounds or dis ease, the remainder representing the men discharged for expiration of term of service, for inability, by sentence of courtmartial, desertions and retire ments. Over one-half of the report is devoted to the militia and it gives a detailed account of the workings of the act to promote the efficiency of the mi litia passed at the last session of congress. Inspections of the sevtral militia organizations, the report says, were begun on April 25. 1903, and comipleted about the first of July. The total number of the organized militia including officers of every rank and grade was ascertained to be 116,542. Strength of Militia. Regarding the dependable strength of the militia in time of national per il the adjutant general states that “al though the obligation of officers and men of the militia to respond prompt ly to a suddon call of the president, has been on the statute books more than a hundred years, and of the or ganized militia or national guard for nearly forfj' years, and the neglect to so respond is punishable by such pen alties as a courtmartial may direct, experience has shown that this obli gation is a^heory rather than a fact. Without going farther back than the late war with Spain, the proportion of the membership of militia organiza tions which have actually responded to the calls of the president have borne a very small proportion to those actu ally borne on the company rolls.” Eliminating the men unfit for mil itary service and those unable to go to the front for logical reasons, the re port says that only about thirty of the original company is a fair estimate of the number of men in each company that were finally received Into the service of the United States. Opposition to Militia Law. The adjutant general comments at length on the opposition developed In some quarters to the militia law which he says is less on the whole than was anticipated. He says it is true that certain radical leaders of the labor unions regard the militia as a menace to their purposes, although it is doubt ful, he afi-ds, if this animosity extends to any considerable numbers of their membership. As to employers objection to their employes leaving their work to attend encampments and target practice as well as in responding to calls for ser vice from the state for the suppres sion of disturbances, the objections are at the minimum. Business and professional men, the assistant adjutant general says, feel that they cannot afford to waste their time in riots or labor troubles, while they would be perfectly willing to re spond in ease of war. m some cities of Virginia. Georgia and LouJafiana the newspapers have prejudiced the minds of the militiamen by their dis torted views. Would be Objectionable. The fear is expressed in some south ern communities that under the presi dent’s orders white national guards men might be comipelled to serve un der a negro commander and still others believe that they are state troops and should be ordered for duty outside the state. All the objections, however, are to be regarded as sporadic rather than contagious, and as the intent of the law becomes better understood with perhaps some further legislation, it is believed all opposition will be con fined to such irreconciliable elements as are no to be satifled with anything less than the abolition of all agencies that make for the preservation of law and order. Borne Recommendatlone. Among the recommendations axe the following: That the attention of congress be in vited to the advisability of a proviso in the appropriation bill for the next fiscal year giving forage to horses of mounted militia troops and of mount ed militia officers while at maneuvers; for per diem allowance to be made for the hire of horses of militia troops and batteries while engaged in ma neuvers; for the furnishing of fuel for cooking and heating purposes by the United States while engaged in maneuvers and for the furnishing of straw and hay for bedding of militia soldiers while engaged in maneuvers. In order to increase the attendance at drills and thus secure increased ef flclency of the organized militia, that governors be permitted to utilize the allotment of their respective states under section 1661, revised statutes, for the purpose of furnishing a per diem allowance, not in any case to exceed 43 cents per drill of one and a half hours for the purpose of paying enlisted men of the organized militia or attendance at each of the 24 drills annually required by statute. That, as a precedent to participation in maneuvers the states and territories require a sufficient physical examina tion for entrance into their organized militia. Let the states be permitted to retain rifles and carbines now in use by militafy schools and colleges in stead of throwing them in as receipts of new arms. That for the preserving 0 order in camp no troops of the organized mili tia shall participate in maneuvers un less the laws of the state to which the troops belong sufficiently provide for the punish men of disorder.

No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom ach and aifectx the appetite. To cure ntatrh treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic. •‘I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell.
