SIXTEEN YEARS oFGATARRH
Well known MASSACHUSETTS Woman Cured
BY HyOmei.

How to cure catarrh has been a
problem in medicine for many years
that was not solved until the discov-
cry of Hyomei. This remarkable treat
ment makes it possible for anyone to
breathe in an air at home which is
almost identical with that of the Adj
health resorts where the air is i'm
pregnated with healing balsams from
health-giving trees and plants.
Simply place a little Hyomei in the
inhaler which comes with every out
fit, breathe it occasionally during the
day and benefit will be seen from its
use for only two or three times, while
perseverance for few days or weeks
will effect a complete cure of even
the worst case of catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira L. b. Gibson, who holds
a responsible position in the great
dry goods store of Jordan, Marsh &
Co, of Boston, wrote in April: Il had
catarrh for 20 years, and the last 10
years (all of which time has been
passed in this great establishments

handkerchiefs per day would be used.

r. II. Thomas has sold hundreds of
Hyomei outfits. consisting of an in

tie of Hyomei, and with every pur-
chase has given his personal guaran-
tee to refund the money if Hyomei
did not cure. He will still sell the
treatment ON that plan and every ca

tage of his fair proposition.

MAINE FARMING NOTES.

Walter S. Fuller of Easton harvested
1,410 barrels of good potatoes from IA
acres.
John e. Mcintosh of Fort Fairfield
got 2,064 barrels of market potatoes
from 20 acres, and also $50 barrels of
poor ones.
Bird H. Kimball, one of Fort Fair
fields most successful farmers, from
20 acres of Green Mountain potatoes
raised this season 1900 barrels of mar
let potatoes and 10 iar.cls Of poor
ones. He uses 1,5C0 o::3ds Of phos-
phate to the acre, con.i ,c.iag shat less
does not pay so well. He also thinks
that the theory that large amount of
phosphate causes rot is not true, as he
uses more phosphate than any other
man in his part of the town, and his
potatoes are among the soundest.
III. j. Weymouth, one of Dexter's
prosperous farmers, recently finished
harvesting one of the largest crops of
potatoes grown in this section by any
one man for great many years. His
crop amounted to about 1900 barrels of
marketable tubers. Included in the
CIOpS TdlSeu On MS place uuTIuB the
past season were so tons of hay and
about 900 bushels of oats. Mr.. Wey-
mouth will plant 20 acres of potatoes
and will also SOW 20 acres of grain as
portion of his crop for another year.
He states that it has been his expert
ence that it is Improbable to raise
corn when compared with potatoes.
He uses fertilizer at the rate of 1900
pounds to the acre and finds that it
pays him well to expend this amount
in growing potatoes. He uses the $50
grade and considers it more valuable
for the crop than that which costs $36.
Mr.. Weymouth was for several years
employed in Aroostook county where
he learned to grow tubers in the most
approved fashion. He has used the po-
tato digger this fall in harvesting his
crops, something entirely new in this
part of the State.

of successful concealment, it became
known last night that Mrs. Jane Hen
erickson, a widow of IS, worth severai
millions, and the mother of Mrs. Spencer
S. Roche, the wife of the rector of the
fashionable st. Marks Episcopal church
Brooklyn, had eloped with her livery

phi street.
Mrs. Hendrickson was left a fortune by
her first husband, q well known specu-
lator in stocks. McHugh has been driving
for the nearest fashionable livery stable
to her hotel for thirteen years.
No one suspected for a moment how
ever, that a romance was brewing be-
tween the millionaire widow and her
driver.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Hendrickson sud
denly announced that she was going tC
tlantic City, and then through the south,
and that on her return she would go
abroad for a year.
The carriage drove up from the livery
stable now with Mr.. McHugh inside. and
they were driven to the ferry. This was

telegram from Atlantic City informed
Mrs. Roche of the marriage, although
where 1t was performed, or just when, Is

The first statement refers to reports Of
a rough-and-tumble fight between Mrs.
Holmes and the Rev. Mr.. Howell, pastor
OF the church, in which the pastor was
accused OF striking Mrs. Holmes, knock
Ing her down and stamping on her. The
deacons find these charges unsubstantiat-
ed and declare the fight was Mrs. Holmes
fault, that she slapped the pastors face
repeatedly when he demonstrated with
her for not having kept up her minutes as
secretary Of the church. According to the
dcacons. the pastor did not use violence
till the lady had slapped him several
times, when he held her until help arrived.
Mrs. Holmes over her own signature
takes the entire blame for the fight. say
