When one of the most reputable con-
Germs in Middlebury guarantees that a
medicine will effect "A cure or he will
refund the money, it speaks volumes as
to the merits of that remedy. 1t is in
this way that w. II. Sheldon is selling
Hyomei, the treatment that has made
50 many remarkable cures of both acute
and chronic catarrh in Middlebury and
vicinity.
Hyomei, is not pill nor is it a liquid

or wineglass. Just breath it by the aid
of an inhaler that comes in every outfit
and benefit will be seen from the first
treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air

purfies the blood with additional ozone.
1t cures catarrh of the head and throat,
or of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
Wherever mucous membrane contains
catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will dc

How He Won His Bet.

In a certain office building In the
downtown district there is a club on
an upper floor, with an express eleva-
tor service for members. The other
day two Of the latter emerged from the
dining room, where they had eaten
luncheon, and eyed the elevator floor
indicator. The arrow moved in two
shafts, one of them the club elevator
express route.
cts wonderful how much time a
man can save by these expresses" re-
marked one of the pair.
Nonsense" said his companion, 81

beat you while 1 am doing it,
''Ten dollars that you can't" was the
reply.
The cages in both shafts opened with
q click, and without further parley the
two men separated, entering the differ
ent elevators. The local got away a
fraction of a moment ahead of the ex-
press. When the man in the latter
stepped out his acquaintance was wait
ing for him.
'How did you do it?" gasped the ex-
press passenger, digging down for the
forfeited bank note.
'That was easy" said his companion.

To Save the Drowning.

Many a swimmer stops short before
learning how to approach a drowning
person, but he should add knowledge
of this as of the proper means of arti-
fetal respiration before he can be ac-
counted a master of the art. So says
the London Chronicle, and adds: "The
swimmer in difficulties may always be
assisted, even by tyro, provided he be
himself strong enough swimmer, but
the bather who cannot swim at all or
who has entirely lost his presence Of
mind should always be approached
from behind and seized by the arms.
Then by swimming on the back it is
easy to tow him to safety. Further,
the bather in difficulties should remem-
Der that throwing the arms out Of the
water tends to sink the whole body, the
air being poor supporting medium for
their weight"

DR.. P. L. Hurts pointer dog was the
cause of a good deal Of amusement and
excitement in Boonville one day. The
doctor stopped at trough to water his
horse. A sewer pipe about hundred
feet long passes under crossing at this
place, and the dog, being warm from

could not turn around, and as the pipe
was crooked he could not see the oppo-
site end of it, so there he stuck. After
various suggestions had been made for
getting him out small negro boy was
sent in after him. The boy got him by
the leg, but then found that he himself
could not back out. Here was a pretty

was sent in. His legs remained within
reach from the outside, and when he
had caught the first boy by the legs
and the first boy had got secure hold
on the dogs legs some strong men took
the second boy by his legs, and thus
they were all pulled out.-Exchange.

The Peculiar Gauges Water.

There is a scientific basis for the uni
versal faith-usually called supersti-
tion-among HindooS in the cleansing
qualities of the Ganges as we'll as in it's
peculiar sanctity. Careful experiments
has shown that the river possesses ex-
traordinary and inexplicable antiseptic
properties. A government analyst took
water from the main sewer of Benares
which contained millions of cholera
germs. When emptied into recepta-
Gle of Gauges water in six hours they
were all dead. He took undeniably
pure water and threw few of these
cholera germs in. They propagated
and swarmed. These tests were tried
repeatedly.

SUED THE SHERIFF.
But Another was Real Defendant
Tried this Week in Circuit Court.

~
One Of the principal cases at this
term of circuit court was that OF
Davis and Schuyler versus Sheriff
Burnett. 1t was suit for recov-
cry of $2Io damages, alleged to
have resulted from the replevin by
the sheriff of 325 head of sheep
taken from James L. Lewis, acting
for Davis and Schryder.
The sheep were originally the
property of a man named Stats
who resided at Monmouth. The
Polk county bank had a mortgage
on them. In spite of the mortgage
Stats sold the sheep to Lewis who
drove them into Benton county, en-
route to Davis and Schryder in
Linn county. While the sheep
were in Benton, Sheriff Burnett
replevined them in behalf of the
Polk county bank, holder of the
mortgage, and the band was taken
back to Polk county, and kept there
for time in pasture. After that
Stats paid off the mortgage at the
bank, and then the sheep we're
released and turned over to the pur-
chasers. The latter then claimed
that a number of sheep had been
lost, the price was not as good, and
that on account of poor pasturage
there had been a shrinkage in the
value of the flock, They figured
out that the aggregate of all these
items was $21o, and brought suit
against Sheriff Burnett for that
amount. OF course the real de-
fendant was the Polk county bank.
Sheriff Burnett having taken the
precaution of securing a proper in
demnity bond covering such a con-
tingency.
The case came up for trial at noon
Monday. All that day and all of
the following day was consumed
in hearing evidence and argument
in the case. The jury went out
about n inc o'clock, and it took
three hours to reach a verdict, The
jury found that the defendant
should pay. plaintiff $50, which
amount had been rendered former
ly. to cover the loss of II sheep,
admitted as having disappeared
while the band was in the banks
custody,

Two Holy Rollers Receive Unwilling
Baptisufin Five Rivers.

Wednesday news reached Cor
wallis of a akmisfortune which came
to Frank Hurt and Creffeld the
holy rolling apostle, who so sud.
denly came into world wide motor
iety. The men left here Thursday
their destination, as stated by them
in AIsea valley, being the Yachats
country, where they expected to
carry on the religious work of
which has recently received so
much attention. Their convey
ance was a buggy drawn by a single
horse. Friday, they passed through
Alsea Valley. and on Sunday cross
ed over the Preacher Creek noun
tain and down onto Five Rivers.
An unfortunate feature of the con-
ditions in that locality as well as
in Lobster, is that although the
county roads frequently cross both
streams, there is but one bridge on
either. This fact Is what led to
the misfortune which befe1l the
travellers mentioned. It is not Ger.
tain at which ford they experienced
their difficulty. but at one Of the
crossings of Five Rivers, the men,
horse and conveyance were washed
down by the swollen stream. In
a brief time all the detachable parts
of the entire outfit became separa-
ted. AT er being carried down
something like 400 yards the men
managed TO reach the bank, A
little below. the horse regained his
tootingiiand .clambered to a place
of comparative safety. The We
hicle, tumbling over and over. was
swept on to a distance of a quarter
of a mile below the ford, The
horse, with much difficulty was
taken up a precipitous bank and
through a tangle of underground
to the road A portion of the bug
gy was dragged from the stream,
the only portion recovered being
the gear and springs, The top,
box and shafts, itseems, were who'll
1y lost, When the Fisher-Alsea
mail carrier passed over his route
Monday the remains of the buggy
occupied a trail which he travels to
avoid two of the fords. The set
tiers in the vicinity were render

assistance they could TO put them

who give liquor to minors, except
in the case of saloon keepers. Last
summer Mrs. Mary Smith was con.

case was appealed to the circuit
court,
The appeal was heard by Judge
Benson yesterday. The appellants
pleaded thafthe city charter did
not confer authority on the council
to pass an ordinance providing pun
ishment where other than liquor
dealer supplied minors with in
toxicants. The court held with
the appellants and the city was de
