cised with Mrs. Huntley and The

fraud.
Mrs. Huntley was a womAa of
strong prejudices and attseh-
ments ; she was very old and in
firm her mental faculties had
grown weak, and by indulging
her in her whimsical ideals and
humoring her in various wsys it
was easily possible for persons to
ingratiate themselves in her GaSor
and then induce her to 1s as
desired.
No matter how the case is de-

to the upper courts by the losing
party.

of the flood and the refugees
are brought here.
1t was said this afternoon that
the mayor had instructed the
city engineer to cut the protec
ton levee in the northern part
of the city as it is believed it
will DC the means OF letting the
water out through Fish lake.
The country beyond the laRe is
much lower than the city and if
the levee is cut it will stop the
rise in GrceNville and carry off
much OF the water in the city.
All trains left this afternoon
promptly on schedule time. The
shut down of the electric plan t

the people and lanterns in skifs

town at night.
The food situation outside
of Greenville remains practical
ly unchanged. The waters have
covered thousands of acres of
fine delta farms and are sweep
south to Vicksburg. The loss
will be heavy, but it is impossi-
bic to give anything like a cor
rect estimate Of the damage
wrought by the food.
Today Arcola and Hollandale
had their first sight Of the water.
Rumors have been coming in
all day Of breaks in the levee
both above and below the city,
but tonight none were confirm
ed at the levee board Office and
the president stated all are hold
ing and everything reported
favorable.
The protection levee in the
northern part Of the city was
cut by order of the mayor. The
creyassCs was made near the
Delta Oil work S plant and was
done with u view of relieving
the situation within the confin-
es of the town, the hope being
that the cut thus made will let
the water now standing in the
city flow mo the bayou. The

ported to be washing last night,
is intact and no futhnr trouble
is expected at that point.

Andrew Carnegie is reported to

tonishing speed with which he plays.
Paderewski once heard of particu-
larly brilliant performance given by
Rosenthal He smiled serenely and
said: "Oh. yes. but any conservative
pupil with a good technique can do
that" OF course this remark was
repeated TO Rosenthal, who some
time later heard talented amateur

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe HyOmei Three Times Day
To Be Cured.

10 be Cured.
If a few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
it remained for II. L. Booth, that emf
nent investigator, to discover in Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most mi
raculous 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 up
on to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei
costs but $1.00, and consists of an in-
haler, a medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
err for few minutes four times a day
and it will cure the worst case. of ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects a COM
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance Company, j. 5. Nugent, OF
New York City, writes, "Hyomel has
completely cured my daughter OF ca
tarrh. from which she has been a suf-
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomel. TX
it does not cure you Feidmeyer
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as to
their faith in the remedy.

this morning by Commissioner West and
approved by Commissioners Macfarland
and Biddle. The same order creates a
new trial board, TO be composed of one
OF the assistant corporation counsels. a

The object of the change is to place a
lawyer on the board. 10 whom may be
referred all legal points involved In amy

The Commissioners have been embar-

this step to insure a, trial which will
stand both in law and equity.

The most recent case is that Of Private
