Why Coliln Are Dangerous.
Because you have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any kind,
do not for a moment Imagine that
colds are not dangerous. Kveryune
knows that pneumonia and chronic
catarrh have their origin in a com
mon cold. Consumption is not cau
sed by a cold but lliu cold prepares
tbe system for the reception and de
velopment of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment.
It Is the same with all Infectious dis
eases. Diphtheria, ecariet lever.
measles and whooping cough are
much more likely o tie contracted
when the child has a cold. You will
see from this that more real danger
lurks In a cold than in any other or
the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold Is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made ll a
staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by

Two visitors named Allen and Law
rence arrived In town. Lawrence
drove a horse and Alien a mule.
They -were strangers to each other.
but got acquainted in a saloon, and
after treating each other a few times
they traded animals. Allen paying
$"i0 to boot. They then went to look
the steeds over and the former own
er of the horse wanted to back out
and demanded his money back. In
stead of that, he got a biff which
caused "Maud" to hee-haw In glee.
Just how many rounds were fought
la not known, but both presented an
apiiearance yesterday morning which
caused all who saw them to think
that "Maud" treated both of them
like she is pictured as doing 'in the
comic supplements.
tawrence claimed that he paid the
$50 back to Allen, but this the latter
denied, and he finally agreed to take
$40 and call tbe matter square, and
that amount was banded over by the
owner of the mule and the Incident
waa declared to be closed.
J. D. Galvln claimed tbat be was
under the Influence of something
vastly stronger than circus lemonade
for the first time in his life, but as
he also admitted that he had no
fixed place of abode it was Impossible

are paved with good Intentions. He
was ordered by the police to move on
and tried his beat to do so, but in
stead he measured his length on the
walk. He also paid $5.
John Garren admitted that a fool
and his money was soon parted. He
belonged to the show and was paid
his month's salary Monday night. In
a few hours it was all gone but the
effect, and when he had no more
money for booze he claimed that the
saloonkeepers owed him some. Just
as he finished his story the recorder
saw the train approaching from the
north and asked Garren how he
would like to follow the show. He
too saw the train as It was pulling
Into the depot and was wise enough
to take the hint. He secured a seat
on the front of the blind baggage.
and got away safely from here.
Alexander Llthgow turned out to
be a native. He is a brlckmason by
trade, but evidently considered that
it was up to him to show the visit
ors that one Medford man at least
could make some showing In the
drinking line. All present In court
admitted that he was entitled to the
first prize, but instead of being com
plimented for doing so nobly he was
ordered to pay the usual sum, which
he did with very poor grace.

THE COVKT TO DECIDE.
PORTLAND, Or., .Sept. 28. Un
til the federal courts finally deter
mine whether the state of Oregon
has or has not enacted legislation
governing the waters of the Coluin-
bla river from bank to bank and to
enforce these laws, any one who was
permitted to fish in these under the
law as it stood previously to June 1
last, may pursue the occupation un
molested.
This Is the effect of the Injunction
granted today In the matter against
the fish warden of this state. Ore
gon fishermen Intervening, asked
that the injunction which was recent
ly granted restraining the Oregon
authoritl'?s from interfering with the
Washington fishermen fishing for
salmon In the Columbia river, be ex-
tpnded so as to permit the Oregon
fishermen the same privilege.
It was contended by tbe Oregon
fishermen that as the matter stood
Washington could come over Into
the Oregon waters and take fish un
molested by the Oregon authorities,
whereas the Oregon fishermen were
prohibited from fishing on either side
of the river. The United States dis
trict Judge enlarged the scope of the
Injunction as requested.
From now until the supreme court
of the United States decides the
"Chris Nlelson" case, the same laws
will govern the actions of the Ore
gon authorities that it did before the
people, under the Initiative and ref
erendum law last June, enacted the
acts which are at the bottom of the
controversy between the states of
Oregon and Washington over the Jur
isdiction of the Columbia river.
