THE FIRST COUGH
OF THE SEASON
even though not severe has a tendency
to irritate the sensitive membranes of
the throat and delicate bronchial tubes
Coughs then come easily all winter
every time you take the slightest cold
Cure the first cough before it has a
chance to set up an inflammation in the
capillary tubes of the lungs The best
remedy is
McConnell s Balsam
It gets right at the seat of the trouble
and at once removes the cause It is as
good for a child as an adult Price 25c

A Hard Customer to Deal With
In a pilgrim who gave the name of
Curtis the police have had a hard
customer to deal with this week Mon
day afternoon he was placed in the city
bastile in an intoxicated condition He
promptly sot fire to the bedding and
was later found in an unconscious con
dition from the smoke created Ho was
taken out revived and set adrift again
Not long after he was again arrested and
placed in jail This time ho tore up his
clothes and atiempted to set another
fire Afterwards ho claimed tho whole
procedure to be a blank to him The
same afternoon he was rearrested nn
old man giving the name of CollinswaB
found in a box car in an unconscious
condition from having been assaulted
Curtis is under suspicion ns having
committed the assault but the old man
cannot identify him absolutely and as
there is absence of other testimony no
results can be expected from this charge
At first the old man claimed to have
been robbed of 15 That amount after
wards was in his mind reduced to 87
Only one fact appears to be certain in
this connection namely that the old
man was assaulted by some one He
bears on his person the evidence of this
fact It has since been regarded as wise
to release Curtis and let him depart as
he sadly needs hospital services The
old eentleman was pretty badly beaten
up but not seriously injured

5ome Disapprove
The Tribune is in receipt of some
communications which indicate that
some patrons of the McCook public
schools do not approve of the dismissal
of school an account of the races The
legality of sveh action is questioned as
well as the ethics of the case While not
unprecedented the action is not usual
and The Tribune considers the point
well taken

It is surprising what a lot of people
there are who limp about suffering from
