Mr. John White, of 38 Highland

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

the rough was gone. This winter
the same happy result has followed;
a few doses once more banished the

CHICAGO, Sept. 21. A concern
In Chicago, which bas had 20 months

000 of preferred stock to people all
over the country, at a price to yield
$1,500,000 or more, went Into a re
ceiver's hands yesterday.
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.
Following ft petition for an ac
counting, filed by several stockhold
ers and a number of hearlnrs before
Master In Chancery Guerln, Judge
Tuthlll, In the Circuit court, yester
day appointed Mr. Fetser receiver
for the Mercantile.
The Mercantile Securities company
Is a subsidiary company of the Cen
tral Life, which was placed In a re
ceiver's hands In June by Judge
Knhlsaat of the United States court.
It Is a Maine corporation, capitalized

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

WATERINSBUKU, England, Sept
19. 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.
