A Chicago Alderman Owes His Elec
tion to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
"I can heartily and conscientionsly
recommend Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for affections of the throat
and lungs,” says Hon. John Shenick,
220 So. Peoria St., Chicago. “Two
years ago during a political campaign,
I caught cold after being overheated,
which Irritated my throat and I was
finally compelled to stop, as I could
not speak aloud. In my extermity a
friend advised me to use Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. I took two
doses that afternoon and could not
believe my senses when I found the
next morning the inflammation had
largely subsided. I took several doses
that day, kept right on talking through
the campaign, and I thank this me-

cil.” This remedy is for sale by

United States District Attorney Is
Working Hard to Prove Conspiracy
Against National Bank Laws—Trial
Creates Unusual Interest.
Cleveland, O., March 8.—Despite a
most disagreable snow and sleet
storm the federal court room was
crowded to the limit when the trial of
Mrs. Chadwick was resumed thl3
morning.
Receiver Lyons, of the Oberlin bank
who was on the stand at adjournment
yesterday was the first witness. He
was shown *by District Attorney Sul
livan a number of checks drawn by
Mrs. Chadwick on thp Oberlin bank,
and certified by Beckwith and Spear.
He testified that the books of the
bank did not show that on any of the
dates when the checks were drawn
any money or credit of any kind be
longing to the defendant. There was
nothing in the bank, he declared,
against which the checks could be le
gally honored by the bank.
District Attorney Sullivan handed
the witness two drafts made on the
Importers and Traders’ National bank
by the Oberlin bank aggregating $80,-
000 -siade in favor of Mrs. Chadwick,
and asked him if, on the date of their
issue, any money was in the bank to
her credit.
The defense objected to the drafts
because they had not been mentioned
in the indictment. District Attorney
Sullivan argued vehemently that the
witness be allowed to answer. The
drafts were dated Aug. 21, 1900, and
he declared the books of the Oberlin
bank showed no mention of the draft-
until Sept. 29. 1900. It was vital to
the charge of conspiracy, he argued,
that the government be allowed to
show that Mrs. Chadwick, while not
having a dollar in the Oberlin bank
had drawn from it $80,000, and that
this amount was for one month and
five days carried on the books of the
Oberlin bank as being in New Yon<
when it actually was in the hands ol
Mrs. Chadwick.
Mr. Dawley protested against the in
troduction of the drafts energetically
and the district attorney replied to his
objection in strong fashion.
Judge Taylor ruled that inasmuch as
the two drafts were dated on Aug. 24.
1903, the same day as a certified check
for $12,500 was given to Mrs. Chad
wick, the three papers were part of
the same transaction and the question
was permissible.
Receiver Lyons stated that no entry
of the drafts appeared on the books
of the bank until Sept. 29, 1903, and
that between the two dates Mrs. Chad
wick bad neither money nor credit in
the Oberlin bank.
With 98 Patients on Hand Grady Ho»-
pital Has Only Five Norses.
Atlanta, March 8.—There are only
five nurses at work In the Grady hos
pital today and an effort is being made
to adjust the differences that exist
between the nurses and who have re
signed and Miss McGroartty, who is I
! the superintendent of nurses.
Just what the result Is to be can!
not be told, but the situation is a se
rious one.
The hospital is filled with patients
who are constantly in need of atten
tion and the loss of the nurses is a
problem that will have to be solved
at once.
Miss McGroarity has offered to re
sign, it is said, but officials of the hos
pital have told her not to no so.
There are today 98 patients in the
hospital and only five nurses to care
for them.
The strike, for it seems to be that,
was precipitated by a meeting of the
nurses held Tuesday night at which
they put the question straight to the
board of trustees that something ha
to be done, and that at once.
They refused to continue at the hos
pital unless changes were mace.
They claim that Miss Groarity has
been entirely too severe on them and
that there must be a change.

Railway Officials Say that They Are
Better Prepared Now to Handle
Traffic—Strike Leaders Claim They
Will Get Their Demands.
New York, March 8.—The second
day of the strike on the subway and
electric lines began with little change
from yesterday’s conditions. Trains
were running in the subway and there
was some improvement shown in the
service on the elevated, but the trains
carried comparatively few' passengers
and the greater part of the down town
traffic was handled by the surface
lines. The Metropolitan street rail
way put out every trolley car available
into service and tried hard tf handle
the crowds.
There seemed to be nothing for the
public to do but to get about as hap
hazardly during the day and the night
as they did yesterday. All during
the night the Second and Ninth aven
ue branches of the elevated were tied
up almost completely. The Sixth av
enue line, however, made a good rec
ord and the subway ran trains with i
considerable regularity There was
no sign of giving way by either sidi
when the day opened. The interbor
ough officials said they were in a bet
ter position than yesterday that the>
would run more trains today and that .
the situation is growing better foi
the company had done its best yester ,
day and from now on it would bo in
creasingly difficult, for the officials tc ,
operate iho subway and elevated lines
No attempt was made to maintain
schedules either on the elevated ot
subway lines during the night, but as
early as 3 o’clock this morning
preparations for attempting to handle
the rush hour crowds were begun. In
the subway there was about the same
as yesterday, and when the down town
tide was at ils height trains were sent
away from Ninety-sixth street everj
eight minutes. About that point the ,
service was irregular. The best show
ing made by the Interborough compa
ny today was on its Sixth avenue ele j
vated line. i
George E. Pepper, president of th<
Amalgamated Association of Electric
and Street Railway Employes, said to
day:
“\Ve were only skirmishing yester
day. We are going to do business to
day—we will make the fur fly for sure.
It’s a foregone conclusion.
“I am dissatisfied with the working
of the police and will make a protest
to Commissioner McAdoo. We have,
counselled perfect order during the
strike, and if one of the strikers L
guilty of violence he should be pun
ished by the organization and sent tc
the state prison. Any violence done
so far has been done by sympathizers
and not by the members of the union
The success or failure of the strike
depends on public opinion. We have
public opinion now, and will hold it.”
John McManus, of Louisville, Ky.
conductor of a train which collided ir
a subway at Twenty-third stret last
night, was held in $2,000 bond for ex
amination when arraigned in couri
today.
He is charged with felonious as ;
sault in that while assisting in the
operation, of the second train, his ne>g
ligence, carelessness and incompeten
cy caused the collision. The motor
man of the train disappeared Immedi
ately after the accident and has not
been found. He came fremi Colum
bus, ()., and has geme back to thai
city, it is supposed.
The representative of the Interbor
ough company who appeared as conn
sel for McManus, said that he hede
the missing motonnun to be le&punsi
ble for the acident. The motorman I
he said twice narrowly missed simi
lar accidents through his carelessness
before the Twenty-third street acci
dent.

“I was troubled with scrofula and cam*

Anlmala and Sight.
In the water fishes see only at very
close range—about half their own
length. This will seem, perhaps, nn-
Hkely to anglers, although some of
them can cite instances showing that
fish cannot see far. Snakes seem to
have a very mediocre sense of sight.
The boa. for instance, does not see at
more than a quarter of its own length.
Different species are limited to one-
tiftb or one-eighth of their length.
Frogs are better off; they see at fifteen
to twenty times their length.

Dangers of Pneumonia.
A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is so
often fatal, and even when the patient
has recovered the lungs are weak
ened, making them peculiarly suscep

the cough, heal and strengthen the
lungs and prevent pneumonia. Chero

impression that they are superb ath

they are asked to beat the carpet.
Pneumonia Follows a Cold
