The Lewis and Clark drawbridge and
approaches will be completed in two
weeks. The delay is occasloned by the
transfer of the planks that had been pre-
pared for the east approach to the
Olney road. This was done because Of
the heavy rains setting in and the ne
cessity arising thereby to finish plank
ing the road. The road from the city
to olney is now as substantial as any
street in town, being neatly planked
and rocked the entire distance. Farm

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH
just Breathe Hyonnei Four Times a
Day and be Cured.

If few years ago some one had sale
you can cure catarrh by breathing all
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed and il
remained for r. T. Booth, that eminent
investigator, to discover in Hyome
this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most
miraculous cures of catarrh and is to-
day recognized by leading members OF
the medical profession as the only adj
vertised remedy that can be relied
upon to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but $100 and consists of an inhaler, a
medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei. sso
breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times a day
aud 1t will cure the worst case of ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane Of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects COM
pletr and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance Company, J. S. Nugent, of
New York City, writes. "Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh from which she has been suf7
ferer for years.
In Augusta there are scores of well
known people who say they have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomei If it does
not cure you, Percy w. Means and
Bowditch & Webster will return the
money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to their faith in the remedy

Will II. Stockbridge, the Portland
tenor. who was killed at Freeport,
Thursday, had many friends in Au-
gusta. Earlier in his career, he had
class of pupils in Augusta, but as his
reputation grew he found work enough
nearer his home and gradually
dropped out of the teaching here. 1t
was Mr.. Stockbridge who awakened
the people of western Maine to the
possibilities of modern vocal culture,
and many other teachers are now reap
ing part of the harvest from seed
that he sowed. Professor Chapman's
great Maine Music festivals would
have been an impossbiity but for the
foundation laid by Will II. Stock
bridge. On number of occasions he
was director of musical productions in
this city. He was not merely solo
singer and giver of music lessons. He
did fundamental work, and sang with
marked success in choruses, and in
mixed and male quartets, was sue
cessful director, and had even been
known to play an accompaniment with
rare skill. But above all was the
great robust, whole souled man whom
| one could not help but like. His last
visit to Augusta was on Friday eve
ming of last week, when he came out
| from a business trip to Winthrop, and
| on his way nome dropped in at the re-
hearsal of the Augusta chorus of the
Maine festival. His friends here gath
cred around him and gave him an i'm
promptu reception on that occasion,
little thinking that they would never
soc him again
