EDMONTON, Altai., Feb. 24.—Mary Mogush, who is charged with attempt- ing to murder her 12 -year-old stepson, Akin Mogush, at Ilashaw Jan. 10, was brought to Edmonton Saturday by Constable Clifford of the Northwest Mounted Police. The woman has been ,committed for trial, and the case will come up at Wetaskiwin nest assizes. Previous to the shooting, it is al- leged, Mrs. Mogush repeatedly threat- ened the lives of her two stepchildren, of whom she was insanely jealous. In a lit of unreasoning anger she wil- fully shot the boy, Akin, the bullet entering his forehead. She afterwards threatened Francine, the nine-year-old girl, with the same fate, but was pre- vented from committing the deed and placed in confinement. The boy's con- dition was at first critical, but has since improved. CARPET IS EXPENSIVE, One Panel of Four Is Valued at Over a Million.

Consumption may be contracted from others, but as a rule pneumonia is caused by exposure to cold and. wet, and if the cold is not attended to immediately ser- ious results are liable to follow. There is only one way to prevent pneumonia and that is to cure the cold on its first appearance. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup will do this for you if you will only take it in time. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup con- tains all the essence and lung healing powers of the famous Norway Pine tree.

Comparatively little is known by Ceeadains - of the •St. Clair .Tunnel; beneath the river ofthat name which connects Sarnia and Port Huron, • on the main line of the Grand Trunk Railway, and yet this • is one of the notable engineering features of a system which added, in the old Victoria Bridge at Mont- real, another tolhe list of recog- nized wonders of the world and replaced it by another, structure even more perfect. It would at first sight appear almost an ing- possibility for a railway train to cross a navigable stream by any other means than abridge. Where a bridge is out of the question a railway ferry is the usual alterna- tive. Enterprising as such a solu- tion must be considered, it is yet accompanied by more than one draw -back. The stream may Le choked with ice, either floating or solid, and there is always the risk, however remote, of stormy wea- ther, Beyond this the shunting and assembling of ears on either shore involved in the use of a car ferry consumes no little valuable time.
