Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave., Hotilton, Maine, says: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 60c bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery; before that was half gone, the rough was gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery Is the beet of all cough and lung reme dies."

I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic; her handa and arms were darwn up so you coula not straighten them, and with a deathlike look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water tank. put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water Into It and stirred It with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladles to let me give It to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands. and in twenty minutes I gave her an other dose. By this time we were almost Into La Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used In case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into La Grande she was alright, and I re ceived the thanks of every passen ger in the car."

The receiver at once called on the officers of the company to turn over the assets. He got some engraved certificates of stock In "allied and subsidiary companies" and $319.92 In cash. The receiver will try to And where the other $1,499,680.0$ has gone, for he does not attach value to the certificates. The concern which has had this thrilling existence Is the Mercantile Securities compnny, second In the chain of the Rhodes Bros, high Ann nee corporations. John C. Fet- ter Is the receiver. He Is also re ceiver for the Central Life Securities company.

Sav age of the pavilion had offered ug Kent ion a, made remarks, etc., In the presence of the board of judgea tend ing to Influence the Judges in mak ing the awards on county exhibits, the managers of six of the county ex hibits have filed a written protest with the stale board of agriculture "atcalnst and to express our distinct disapproval of the unauthorized sug gestions and methods employed by an official of the pavilion for the purpose of Influencing awards." The signers of the protest, how ever, desire It distinctly understood that they, have no fault to find with the awarding of the premiums, but. It seems that they are centering their fight against Superintendent Savage and declare they will advise their re spective counties that it "would be Injudicious to make further county entries at future Oregon state fairs rtider the present conditions sur rounding the awarding of prem iums." Since no protest Is made against the awarding of premiums In the .90S contest and the communication and "kick" Is aimed directly at Mr. Savage, no action Is necessary on the part of the board under the circum stances. The protest Is signed by the tol 'owing: E. M. Warren, manager for Lane county; C. S. Dow, manager lor Clatsop county; M. O. Lownsdalo, manager for Yamhill county; W.

Major-General Charles Edward Luard, retired, whose wife was mys teriously murdered near London, August 24, committed suicide yester day by throwing himself In front of a railroad train. His body was found later close to a railroad crossing not far from Waterinsbury. General Luard had been a guest of Colonel Charles Edward Warde, M. P., at Teston. He left the house early this morning and going direct ly to the railroad, threw himself In front of an incoming train. Colonel Warde found a letter from General Luard, saying his body would be found under the train. He explained that such awful accusations had been made against him that he could no longer stand the strain. The gen eral had received letters accusing him of having murdered his wife. Mrs. Luard was shot near Seven Oaks on the afternoon of August 24, a few moments after her husband had left her to go to a nearby club on an errand. When he returned he found her dead. The tragic death of the general, who was the last person to see his wtfe alive, and the first to find her body, has revived Interest In this murder, which the police authorities thus far have been unable to unravel. The Inquest, which Is to be resumed next week, has not revealed the slightest clew to the murderer. AH the witnesses agree that Mrs. Luard had not an enemy in the world, while the facts dispute the theory of robbery, because Mrs. Luard's purse and rings, which were taken from her body, were of little value. An expert testified that It was impos sible for the bullets which caused death to have been fired from any of the revolvers owned by General Luard. The text of General Luard's let ter to Colonel Warde Is as follows: "You will find my body at the Taston crossing. I am sick of the scandalous and lying reports, and I cannot face my son, whom I expected to meet today, and I have decided to end my life." Colonel Luard's son, who Is an army officer. Is expected to arrive at Southampton today from the Transvaal. Good for nitlouftness. "I took two of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets last night, and I feel fifty per cent bet ter than I have for weeks, says J. J. Firestone of Allegan, Mich.
