The Best Remedy ForlCroup.
[From the Atchlnson, Kan., Dally Globe.]
This is the reason when the woman
who knows the boat remedies for oroup
Is In demand In ovory neighborhood,
One of the most terrible things in tbo
world is to bo awakonod in tbe middle
of the night by a whoop from one of tho
children. The oroup remedies aro al
most as sure to be lost, in caso of croup,
as a revolver Is snro to be lost in case
of burglars. There used to be an old-
fashioned remedy for croup, known os
hive syrup and tola, but somo modern
mother’s say that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is better, and does not east so
muah. It causes the patient to '.’throw
up the phlegm” quicker, and gives re
lief In a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as tbe eroupy cough appeals and
It will prevent tbe attack. It never
falls and is pleasant and safo to take,

least half dozen advertised cough medl
oines and bad treatment from two phjs-
lolana without getting any protl', A
friend recommended Foley's Honey and
Tar and two thirds of a bottle cured me.
I consider irthe greatest cough and lung
medicine in tbe world.” John R. Hud

PARDEE WINS IN CALIFORNIA.
Latest .Election Returns Give Him
6,500 Plurality for Governor.
San Francisco. Nov. 6.—The latest
election returns Indicate the success of
Dr. Pardee, the Republican candidate
for governor, by a plurality of about
6,000. His opponent. F. K. Lane, has
stated that he will contest the an
nounced result.
The count of the vote for the con
gressional nominees, so far as com
pleted, Indicates that five Republicans,
two labor uulon Democrats, and ono
straight Democrat will represent Cali
fornia In the lower house of congress.
Tho successful Republicans are OH-
lett, In the first; Metcalf In the third,
Needham in the sixth, McLachlan In
tho seventh and Daniels in the eighth
district. Llvcrnash and Wynne, la
bor union nominees, have won In the
fourth and fifth, but the former’s elec
tion probably will be contested by Ju
lius Kahn, tho present incumbent.
