Taking Desperate Chances It is true that many contract se vere colds and recover from them without taking any precaution or treatment, and a knowledge of this fact leads others to take their chances instead of giving their colds the need ed attention. It should be borne in mind that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the system less able to withstand each succeeding attack and paves the way for the more serious diseases. Can you afford to take such desperate changes when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of bad colds may be had for a trifle? FOR SJ1LE T , u ' From Saturday s Daily !

McHugh. former Omaha jurist and one of the most widely known at torneys of the nation occurred yes terday at the home of the family in Chicago, following a long series of attacks of throat trouble that for the past year made it impossible for the distinguished attorney to appear In court to argue his cases owing to the fact that he had practically lost the use of his voice. Judge McHugh was well known In Plattsmouth where he has many friends who will deeply regret to learn of his passing and the loss that his death brings to the state and the ! American bar. During the time that J. G. McHugh. a brother, was super tendent of schools here. Judge Mc Hugh visited Plattsmouth frequently and became well acquainted with many of our people. William D. McHugh was born in Galena. Illinois. September 10, 1S59, and early in life started the study of law. He was married in 18S6 at Galena and in 1S87 came to Omaha and remained there until three years ago when he removed to Chicago to take the position of general attor ney for the International Harvester company, which he occupied until his death. While in Nebraska. Judge McHugh was a leader in the democratic party and a close friend and associate of the late J. Sterling Morton and the Cleveland forces in the struggles in the party during the period from 1893 to 1S97 when democracy was divided in this state, under the lead ership of William Jennings Bryan on the one hand and J. Sterling Morton and Tobias Castor on the other hand. It was during this period, in 1895, that Judge McHugh was nominated to the U. S. district judgeship, by President Grover Cleveland but was never confirmed y the senate and the position was later given to Judge W. H. Munger.
