Ihere are more big potato stories
coming in from Aroostook, very day
One OF the latest is from stretch of
ioaa tnree miles in length in the local
lty of Maysville Center. There are a
number of splendid farms along this
road and the average yield per acre Of
potatoes was 100 barrels. When this is
compared with the average yield for
the state, last year. of 106 bushels per
acre and that of the whole United
states of 81 bushels per acre, it rather
icoEs as If more barrels to the acre
could be raised in Aroostook than
Dusnels elsewhere. This is Il certified
story, but here are a couple that are
merely true. One man was SO foolish
asto dig his potatoes before they were
Iuiiv grown and put them in his cellar.
Inc tupers continued growing, down
there III the dark, and one morning
the man woke up to find that his house
.iau peen llfted from its foundation

the potatoes. Another man with a
good sized family raised one potato

Aroostook, but it won't do to print
those.

told of three yonug men of Pressure

in search of big game, and after going

they had time to talk it over and pick

The decorators have arrived and are
now at work on the quarters of the
executive department. The Job will
probably take about three weeks, and
the carpet is expected at the expiration
OF that time, SO the next meeting of
the Governor and Council will be held
in the new quarters, without any
doubt
The new quarters of the State as
SCISSORS are almost ready for occupa-
ton and are very handsome and
spacious. The tinting is done in cream
color and the finish is oak Perhaps
the most useful feature of the new
home is the steel case for the preserva-
ton of the records and papers OF the
department. Various plans have been
discussed for this purpose, but none
has seemed so feasible as the steel case.
The department has never had facili-
ties for adequate care of it's papers.
valuable.os they are; and very little
fire, smoke and water would ruin them
ell. In the fall, just before the OPEN
ing of the Legislature, recapitulations
of the reports of all the local assessors
for every town and city in the State
are made out and filled, with many
notes.. condensed statements, etc, for
use by the Legislature. If fire should
destroy these, it would be impossible
to replace them. and the assessors
would be at their wits end for solu-
ton of the difficulty. Danger of this
has always existed. up to the present
time. but the south wing has now been
made freproof from basement to roof
and the steel case will protect the
papers from accident. The assessors
feel that when they get into their new
quarters they will have no reason to
envy anYOne in the State House.

STRONGEST PROOF OF FAITH
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means Guarantee that Hyomei Will
Cure the Worst Case Of Catarrh in
Augusta.

When two of the most reputable con-
Germs in Augusta guarantee that a
medicine will effect q cure or they will
refund the money. it speaks volumes
as to the merits of that remedy. 1t is
in this way that Bowditch & Webster,
and Percy w. Means, are selling Hy-
omei, the treatment that has made so
many remarkable cures of both acute
and chronic catarrh in Augusta and
vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it liquid
that has to be taken with tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe it by the
aid Of an inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from the
first treatment.
It destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies 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 do
its work of healing. When using this
treatment, the air you breathe will be
found like that on the mountains high
above the sea level. where grow bal
samic trees and plants which make the
air pure by giving off volatile antiseptic
fragrance that is healing to the respir-
atory organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, they will refund your money
This is good time to cure catarrh by
this natural method and prevent ca
tarrhal colds that are so common at
this season.

Origin OF "Cravat."
Reader.

"The word 'crnvat.'" said man who
makes neckwear, came into our Ian
guage about 1896. Prior to that year
q feature Of the uniform of the Aus
trian cavalry was wide band Of
coarse linen worn in folds around the
neck under the short hussar jacket.
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravate. its members being styled
the Crnvates. Later, in the seven
teenth century. France recruited a reg
iment Of cavalry. adopting for it the
uniform of the Austrian regiment in
Croatia, calling it the Royal Crayates.
Later, In England. the word 'crabat'
was applied TO a neck handkerchief.

Rev. Feldt, NJ. E. Pastor at
Dixie, Issues Injunction
Against Saloonkeepers
OF THE SALOON TAX
Public Sentiment Is With the Two Sa-
loon Men, Who Are Charged With
Violation of the Law, Seemingly Be-
cause If They Are Closed Out, as Will
Likely happen, Taxes Will Be Raised
Special to Times-Repubiican.

Dixie, May 26.-An injunction was
served yesterday on Neis Johnson and
L. Nielsen, saloonkeepers here, charging
them with violation of law. They will
be taken to Grundy Center on June 2
for a hearing. Dixie is supporting two
saloons by consent of tho city council.
The injunction is the work of Rev.
Charles Feldt, the NJ. e. pastor here.
F. e. Grouse and Ira Wilson, both resi-
dents of the county, signed the bond to
stand for the costs in the case. The
public sentiment is with the liquor men.
The saloons were started three days
after the town was Incorporated and
much of the tax has been derived from
them. The sewer, which was UNDER
taken, was built with the understanding
that the saloon tax would pay the bill.
IL they are closed, as they undoubtedly
will be. the taxes Will be raised. Rev.
Feldt was waited upon by committee,
who came near threatening him for his
actions. The bondsmen have not been
to town since they signed the bond, as
they are afraid to face tile anger of the
liquor men.

TWO INDIAN BATTLES.
History as II Appears From the Red
skins Point of View.

The Indians side of any controversy
between him and the white man has
never really been presented at all. His
tory has necessarily been written from
the white mans standpoint and large,
ly from the reports of commanding
officers naturally anxious to secure full
credit for their galluntry or to conceal
any weakness.
Take as an Illustration the SO called
t'battle" Of Wounded Knee. A ring was
formed about the Indians. and after
disarming most OF them one man re-
sisted, and the troops began firing to-
ward tho center, killing nearly all the
Indians and necessarily many Of their
own men. The soldiers then followed
up fleeing women and children and
shot them down in cold blood. This is
not called massacre in the official re-
ports. The press Of the country did not
call it massacre. On the other hand,
General Custer was in pursuit Of GER
tain bands of Sioux. He followed their
trail two days and finally overlook
and surprised them upon the Little
Big Horn The warriors met him in
force. and lie was beaten at his own
game. 1t was brilliant victory for
the Indians. whom Custer had taken
at disadvantage in the midst Of their
women and children. This battle goes

DAMAGED BY FLOODS.
Repetition Of Last Years Des Moines
liMar Dissster Feared.


Des Moines. May 26.-Heavy rains
continue general over central and
northern Iowa, and rising rivers pre-
sage flood conditions within q few
DAYS. The Floyd river reached the
flood stage at Sioux City last night
The Des Moines river is rising at this
point, and promises to be much higher
soon. The entire northern and north
western section of the state has sur
fered greatly from the heavy rains.
Everywhere the ground is saturated,
and over vast territories water covers
the ground In many sections agricul-
tural operations have been suspended.
The loss to the state can hardly be
measured.
THE Des Moines river is sure to rise
considerably during the next few days,
said Dr. George NJ. Chapel of the Uni
ted States weather office yesterday af-
ternoon. His belief he substantiates by
the great rainfall in the northern part
of the state, and especially upon those
territories tributary to the river which
flows thru this city. The downpour OF
water on Sunday night was the great
est the state has known this year. AT
Forest City there was fall of 1865, and
at Baskerville, 251. This is some
thing enormous when one comes to con-
slider that with the rain at Forest City
4121a tons to the acre fell.
Monday morning the Des Moines
river had raised a half foot and stood
at 9.5, and when the water which fell
at Estherville commences to find its
way south it is predicted the river will
raiSe several feet during the twenty
four hours ending Monday morning at
7 a. m. The rainfall in different por-
lions of the state was as follows:

An organ In the Tenth Century.

Wolston speaks of an organ contain
ing 400 pipes which was erected in the
tenth century in England. This instru-
ment was blown by thirteen separate
pairs of bellows" 1t also contained Il
large keyboard. There are drawings OF
that period extant which represent the
organ as an instrument having but
few pipes, blown by two or three per-
sons and usually performed on by
monk. The keys. which were played
upon by hard blows OF the fist, were
very clumsy and from four to six inch
es broad.
About the end Of the eleventh centu-
~ semitones were introduced into the
keyboard, but to all appearances its
compass did not extend beyond three
octaves. The Introduction of pedals in
1890 by Bernhardt-giving compass
3 fat to A-was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces Of wood op-
Grated by the toe of the player.
