To Stop a Cough In a
Hurry.
Of a.l the "best things" to do for
ft cough, the following home-made
remedy will be found by far "the
most effective. The sooner It Is
taken, of course, the better but
even deep-seated coughs usually
.yield readily after a few doses.
Here is the recipe:
Granulated Sugar Syrup...
13Ms oz.
Pinex 214 oz.
Put the 214 ounces of Plnex (50
cents' worth) in a clean pint bot
tle, and fill up with Gra.nuls.ted
Sugar Syrup, made as follows:
Take a. pint of Granulated Soiuar,
add
XA
cup water, heat and let aoil
just a moment. Tako a teaspoon
ful every one, two or .tliree hours,
AS required.
Simple as it is, there Is positive
ly nothing better for tho purpose.
The recipe makes a full pint,
•nough to last the whole family a
long time. Kept well corked, it
never spoils. The taste is so pleas
ant that children take it readily
without the usual struggle.
Pinex, as you probably know, is
the most valuable concentrntcd
compound of Norway White I'lne
Extract. It is rich in gualacol and
other elements which have n\ade
the pine woods of Norway faar.ous
in the cure of consumption. 'Sour
druggist has It, or if out of it, will
gladly get it for you on request.
In making this recipe avoid the
many weaker pine oil and pine tar
preparations use the real 'P.nex
itself._ Granulated Sugar Tniike?
the beet syrup.
I
*£v\ USE
It is a crushed coke and just
the the right size for furnaces
or heating plants.

Special to Times-Republican.
Ottumwu, Feb. 25.—Tho belief is
growing here that the assailant of Mrs.
Johnston not only Is In custody, but
has been for .several days.
It is claimed that C. M. Johnston,
husband of the woman who was Uie
object of the heinous attack early Sun
day morning, Identified a
negro
whom
ho believes to be guilty of the terrible
crime.
The police refuse all information to
all comers, but the negro is the one
who was brought into tho jail late
•Sunday afternoon under cover of a
ruse which fooled the crowd. Fear
ing that the jail will be mobbed and
the man strung to the nearest tree
if his Identity becomes known, thj
police ovon deny that the inuii is :n
custody. D. D. Way, Pinkerton detec
tive. observes absolute secrecy.
Way and Chief Peter Gallagher were
with Mr. Johnston all afternoon yes
terday. going from the ecene of the
tragedy to the police station. The half
dozen suspects were lined up. Without
hesitation Johnston pointed to '.he
man whom he said he had seen hang
ing about his neighborhood.
He was arrested on a train going
south to Kansas City Sunday after
noon. At the station the police seized
the lirst negro they saw and marched
him up the street. While the howl
ing mob watched them, the real sus
pect was taken into the jail under
cover, according to good reports. The
police are also stated to incline
strongly to the theory that the right
man is now under arrest. His descrlo
tlun is said to fit that of a man who
has been reported as doing several
jobs about Ottuimva, and Johnston is'
positive that he is the same negro
that has been hanging about the vicin
ity for weeks past.

Clinton, Feb. 25.—Ice harvesters up
and down the Mississippi river, because
of the high price and scarcity of saw
dust, have commenced to pack their
winter crops in the great ice houses
along the river bank, between layers
of hay.
Pine sawdust, which in the days of
the lumber Industry, was »o cheap and
abundant that It could be had in un
limited quantities, almost for its haul
ing away, has become exceedingly
scarce, and now commands the fancy
price of $45 a carload. As many cur
loads of the product are required to fill
a big up-river Jce house, the item of
expense is considerable. The experi
ment of vising liny was tried last year
and found to work successfully ind
Ice harvesters in this and other cities
are using the product of the field in
stead of the product of tho mill this
winter In putting up their ice. Twen.y
tons of hay are sufficient for use in
filling the largest ice houses in the ui
