We keep a bottle open all the time, and when ever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send for a doctor and in cur a large doctor bill, for Chamber lain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure.

Chicago Firebug Who Haa a Mind In clined to Investigation. Chicago, March 10. It Is now be lieved that two of Chicago's historic churches have been burned by an In cendiary crank within a month. The Second Presbyterian church, which was destroyed Thursday night, and the Trinity Methodist church, which was ruined by flames a month ago. are said to have been the objects of this unknown person's peculiar mania. Color was lent to this theory yester day by discovery of the fact that after the destruction of the Trinity church Kev. W. E. McLennan, pastor of that : congregation, received a message, writ ten on a postal card, as follows: '"God does not care any more for churches than he "does for barns, or he would not let them burn up." Another significant point brought out by those interest! is the fact that both fires started in the organ loft, and that no cause for the blazes could be satisfactorily assigned. It is un derstood this anonymous postal card has been placed in the hands of the postal authorities, who will endeavor to trace it. at least to the locality in which It was mailed. The loss by the burning of the Second Presbyterian church was about $200,000. OPENING LONG-IDLE MINES. Activity in Iron Properties a Feature of the Situation at Republic. Republic, Mich.. March 10. The Riverside mine, idle seven years, has been leased by the Oliver Mining com pany and the work of pumping the water from the shaft has begun. An engine house has leen built, which will be equipped with new machinery, a blacksmith shop and dry house will be erected besides a large number of dwelling houses for miners. The mine is located three and one-half miles from Republic and at the time it was shut down 200 workmen were em ployed. Railroad tracks were torn up but the old roadbed is being resur veyed for new tracks. The West Republic mine.mauy years ago abandoned, and owned by the Le Clair brothers of Ishpeniing, is being worked. The Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad company is to extend tracks from the main line Into the mine. The old Magnetic mine will be developed by the Illinois Iron and Steel company.

A case of smallpox lias been discovered in the village of Lockport, four miles from here. The victim Is John Riley, a ma chinest, who it was supposed was suffer ing from brasa poUoning. So far. as known about fifty people have been ex posed to the contagion. If other cases break out a quarantine between Lock port and Joliet will be established by the local health department. The ef fect of such an order would likely be serious on the manufacturing Industry of this city, as several hundred work men in the steel and wire mills are res idents of Lockport.

Sine Oua Noli Koth Kuer Presidents ill I the Fight of Wednesday Ouerti Victoria I Takes Another Drive. I London, March 1. The Standard, whbvh is in closer touch with the pol icy of the government than any other ministerial organ, says this morning: "We Lave reason to believe that an authoritative statement will shortly be made by the government rca dinning the iniMssibility of conceding any terms of peace to the Boer republics which would involve a perpetuation of the politit'al and military independence that led to the present costly and san guinary conflict." Loudon, March lo. The following dispatch is bulletined here: "Poplar Grove, Orange Free State, March !l. General French, who is ten miles ahead, reports that his front is clear of the Boers. All other reports tend to confirm the state of disorgani zation of the Boer forces, Transvaal as well as Free State. The general impression is that the further prog ress of the British to Bloeinfontein will not be opposed. A great amount of ammunition was destroyed today. This included several boxes of explo sive bullets on the outside of which the Boers had marked, 'Manufactured for the British government." Rebels Anxious to Surrender. The war office has issued the fol lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts: "Clements has occupied Nerval's Pout and the adjacent drift. As soon as the engineers, pontoon and troops arrive he will cross the river, when the nec essary repairs to the railway bridge will be commenced. Gataere occupied Burghersdorp March 7, and was greet ed with great enthusiasm on the part of the loyal inhabitants. His scouts report that large numbers of the reb els in the neighborhood are anxious to surrender." Itoer Would Necotiute for Fence. London .March 10. The Dally Mail publishes the following dispatch from Pretoria, dated March 8. via Lourenzo Marques, which had been censored by the 15oer government: "Conversations I have had with the highest state of ficials show that the Boers want some arrangement. They say that if F.ng land is waging war of conquest they land is waging a war of conquest they believe that a plain statement of the Boer intentions will reveal a basis of negotiation, now that England's prestige Is repaired. President Krngcr and President Steyn conferred Monday at Bloeinfontein on the incorporation of the above representations in a ca blegram to Lord Salisbury. The pres ervation of the independenceof the two republics is a sine qua non." Salisbury Rejects the Proposal. The cablegram mentioned in the fore going reached London probably Thurs day, and it is stated, offered nothing more than was offered prior to the Boer ultimatum. It is understood that Kru ger's advances met with an emphatic rejection at the hands of Lord Salis bury, who is believed to have said that no such atenipt to retain the independ ence of the Transvaal can be consid ered for a moment by the British gov ernment. Kr Hirer Was at the Front. A telegram from Lord Roberts nt Poplar Grove says that Krugcr and Steyn were both present at the fight of March 7 and did all in their power to rally their troops. The rout, however, was complete. Hollawell, in a telegram to The Daily Mail, describing his experiences in Pretoria jail, says there are about 100 colonials there and they are scan dalously treaed. He made an attempt to see the American consul, but in vain. QIT.EX VICTORIA DRIVES AGAIN. London West End Elaborately Decorated in Honor of the Occasion. Loudon, March 10. The queen, ac companied by the Princess of Wales and Princess Henry of Battenberg, drove through the West End yesterday afternoon. There were huge assem blages everywhere along the route, and the cheers were unceasing. The bells of St. Margaret's pealed merrily and the members of the house of commons cheered vociferously as the queen passed Westmiuster at 5:03 o'clock. There was a great display of flags, bunting and trophies along the route. The balconies of many residences were draped with red cloth and streams of banners floated across the streets. Numerous bauds of music paraded the West End playing patriotic airs, which thousands of people joined in singing. The whole triumphal pro cession was extremely stirring and impressive. Her majesty was visibly affected and she manifested extreme gratification at the warmth of her re ception. Queen Victoria's evident de sire to sacrifice herself in Order to please her people was manifested last night by the announcement of her in tention to review two thousand guards men today. These troops comprise Harrington Campbell's brigade and Scott's Grenadier Guards, who are proceeding to South Africa. The re view will occur in the yard at Buck ingham palace in the afternoon. C5IVES PARLIAMENT A Kill. Ameer K?nents a Hint That the Commons Might Sunpcct Him. London, March 10. In n statement issued by the ameer of Afghanistan declaring his fealty to the British em pire and readiness to fight for that empire anywhere and especially ecainst Russia, the ameer refers to a letter rrom tne Indian government re minding him that he had been faith ful for twenty years and advising re trenchment in purchases of arms, as Otherwise parliament nileht become suspicious, and takes strong exception to such suspicions, saying it was nec essary to keep the country strong enough to resist a Russian advance. The ameer's letter concludes with likening the British parliament to Ca bul Turkish baths, "which reverber ated with a babel of calls for towels, soap, etc.. and loud-voiced conversa tion, until the meaning of individual words, and even the words themselves, became lost in the confusion of sounds, and only increased the general uproar."
