Where is the Old Fashioned Man.

EDITOR REP0RTER:-I saw an item in
your paper week or two ago inquiring
what had become of the old fashioned
woman who could do almost all kinds of
work, with Il baby on her arm, except
sweep room, and have waited to see
if any one answered your question and
as have not noticed an answer to it and
will say right on the start that she is
not extinct by any means, but is living
right around you and nota hundred miles
from Leon either. In turn | will ask
what has become of the good old fash
toned man that used to get up of a morn
ing and build the fires and while his
wife got breakfast he would take the
milk pail and go out and do the milking
before breakfast or take the hoe and
hoe the garden all out good then come
in and wash, sit down to the table and
return thanks to the giver of all good
things. Yes, oh yes, what has become
of him. The writer has in mind little
scene that came under their notice this
very spring of the good old fashioned
woman. One evening late as We came
from town that old fashioned woman
that you are ycarning to know so much
about was carrying pail full Of milk
to the house with a baby on her arm
and two more little ones following along
with that person that is called a man
bringing up the rear with his hands in
his pocket as though he were all there
was, and will again say where, oh
where, has the good old fashioned man
gone to. A READER.

Expense in the Hunter Case.

Auditor j. E. Snedeker has received
from the clerk of the court of Clark
county transcript of the expenses of
the late Matt Hunter trial at Osceola.
1t embraces many items, all of them
amounting to something over $1,000.
The board has allowed $500 attorney fee
to the firm of Temple & Hardinger for
assisting the state in the prosecution.
This was very reasonable bill CON
sidering the work done. On the motion
of the defense the judge ordered tram
script of the whole proceedings to be
made to the supreme court. This will
cost about 500 and the expense will al
so be assessed to Ringgold county.
There may yet be some additional items
to be reported. The indirect cost of the
trial will be very great. OF this no par
ticular account is taken. 1t is difficult
and perhaps impossible to estimate it.
1t would probably equal that of the real
cost and all told would reach about $1O,-
coo. The cost of the Mt. Ayr trial has
been given. Mt. Ayr Record.

A Strange Case.

While engaged in shooting at rats
with a target rifle, Monday, son of
Horace Provin who resides but few
miles distant from Blythedale, unfortu-
nately shot his mother through the
abdomen. To add to the horror of the
affair Mrs. Provin was in delicate
condition and under the circumstances,
the wound was deemed a mortal hurt
Thursday night Mrs. Provin was de-
livered of a child and great was the
surprise Of the accoucheur to learn, on
an examination Of the little one, that
the cartridge had only spent itself after
going entirely through it.
At this time mother and child are
resting easy and it is thought both will
recover. Another eNemplication Of the
adage that Truth is stranger than
fiction" Davis City Lariat.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF cATARRH.
Wen Known Massachusetts, Woman
Cured By Hyomei.

How to cure catarrh has been prob
lem 10 medicine for many years that was
not solved until the discovery Of Hyomei
This remarkable treatment makes it pos
sible for anyone to breathe an air at home
which is almost identical with that Of the
Adirondacks, the CafOlinas or other health

healing balsams from health giving trees

Simply place a little HyOmei in the in
haler which comes with every outfit,
breathe 1t occasionally during the day and
benefit will be seen after its use for only
two or three times, while perseverance for
few days or weeks will effect complete
cure Of even the worst case Of catarrh.

New York, May 15.-Inspector Nc
Clusxy Of the detective bureau could
not be found at police headquarters,
and, as this was the first time he had
missed the regular morning roll call, it
was generally understood that he had
left the city on some new important
clew in the dynamite case. One report
had it that the inspector had gone TO
Washington, but those best informed
pointed to Chicago as the logical place.
The inspectors subordinates know so
well how to keep their own counsel
that nothing could be learned except
that MeClusky was putting in some
personal work on the case.
Commissioner Greene fntiInated his
belief that the man Rosseo, or Rosseau,
could not escape. The situation now
appears to center in Chicago. where
| II Inns been learned, Rosseo lived be-
fore he came to this city, and where it
is now said the internal machine was
manufactured.
Inspector McClusky's men have found
out good many new things from
tho boarders at Mrs. Currie's house.
Some of the boarders there had assoc
ciated quite intimately with Rosseo.
Robert G. Rivers, one OF them, gave
the following description Of him, which
is different in several respects from the
former less complete descriptions:
Man Of Peculiar Appearance.
This man could be told In d second
by any one who bad ever seen him be-
fore, for he is really a remarkable
man in appearance. He is a little
over feet s inches tall, weighs about
100 pounds, has an aquiline nose, a
very red complexion, reddish--not
black mustache, cropped close, and
strong, square, resolute chin. His hair
Is very black, thick In the back, but
thin in 'front.' SO that he is almost bald.
He has small blue gray eyes and the
look of perpetual scowl He had a
habit Of contracting his eyelids when
interested In anything that made his
small eyes even smaller and this habit
was so strong on him that I doubt If
he could stop doing it if he wanted

who lived at Mrs. CuTie's. said:
"He was an electrician, | am sure,
