Rubbing It In, Unnecessarily

Umpire Fred Goldsmith Is all
right His decisions were clear and
decisive and given with good judg
ment" says the Albuquerque Citizen
This may be true from the stand,
point of those who wanted Albuquer
que to win, at any cost. But consid'
ering the rotten nature of one all i'm
portant decision and the fact that its
u%nfairness was generally admitted by
Albuquerque people themselves, the
Citizen might have displayed the
same good grace which the Morning
Jurndl showed andIleft the above nn-
said. The Las Vegas boys had no
kick on the reception given them by
the people Of albuquerque; they had
no complaint to make of the Fair
Association nor of the Albuquerque
ball players; their kick was limited
solely to Umpire Goldsmith and was
not allowed to interfere with the en-
joyment OF the game. Now, however,
their kick will include the Albuquer-
que Citizen.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 1.-THE
1904 wool clip OF wool which was mar.
keted readily In the west at gradu-
ally advancing prices as the season
progressed. has for the most part
found Its way into the hands OF con.

new year will be very small. It would
seem reasonable, therefore to ex-
pect that the 1905 clip will meet with
ready sale, and that the competition
for II will be keen. Being in close

A Queer Idea.

Colonel w / Boore. Editor of the
Eastern Pan. Handle, in a recent issue
Of his paper takes the stand that the
election in this state was not an en-
d1r ement OF the q W TAX laws con.
sidering Mr. Dawson small majority
as COMPARED with that received by
the republican candidate for presi-
dent OF course, the Colonel knows
that q great many democrats voted for
Mr. Roosevelt, and that the combined
forces OF the democratic party were
centered on Mr. Dawson, making a
personal fight to elect their governor.
This fact alone is the direct cause OF
the republican candidate for governor
runningt behind bis ticket: and no
because the people we're dissatisfied
with the new tax laws to any extent.
Therefore. we do not agree with
the Colonel that the result shows dis.
satisfaction with the new tax laws.
and we are SURPRISED that a republican
OF his standing would now try to
cause d~issention about the very law
which he so strenuously advocated be-
fore the election. Neither do we
think that the new tax laws work an
injustice and hardship on the real
estate owners. Rather do we think it
WILL tend to relieve them Of the heavy
burdens they have been bearing for
man years.
II there is anything wrong with the
new tax laws the republican legis-
lature will correct 1t. Bat il can be
assured that the republican party
will take no back ward step. 1t
stands for tax reform in this state as
much now as it did before the elect
ON, and Colonel Boone, we think, is d
tax-reformer himself even IL 1.-THE
outlook is not so good.

complishments, whose graces had won
great favor among her friends. But the
sad end that befell her cast a deep
shadow over the home where peace
and happiness had reigned supreme.
At the time the Erie railroad was
building its great pier out into the
Hudson a contractor from the south
came here in connection with the n
terprise and lived for some time at
Piermont, then a busting town. His
son., a young STRIPPING Of 10, soon be-
came acquainted with Catherine and
during the summer months the two
became insperable friends. After a
time they became engaged. Later on,
when the young sutton approached the
old gentleman for his daughters hand,
the question came up as to what money
the young man had behind him. For
tune had not been financially generous
to the young fellow and he had moth
love. This not being a sufficient price
for his daughter their marriage was
refused. Forbidden to see him any
longer the young girl vas seldom seen
a~fterward. From her window, where
she sat alone at night looking silently
into the moonlight. she could see the
path where they had so many times
strolled together and where they had
often talked over their future plans.
Many reports were rumored about
the village concerning her strange
death. Some say that she had been
locked up in a little room at the top
OF the house, where she pinned away
and died from grief. and still others
said that she became respondent and
starved herself to death. She was In
TERED in a marble coffin and was the
first to enter the family tomb which
had been built In the mountain side.
In later years. when William Ferdon
died. it was said that in his will he
made a request that his coffin be borne
to the tomb by negroes, as he wished
no white man ever to enter the sacred
chamber where his daughters body lay.
Another story Is that when they car
ried his coffin into the tomb they ae-
ci~dentally knocked against the one
where the daughters body lay exposed
TO view through the glass lid, and the
far caused the body, which had been
embalmed, to fall to dust. A beautiful
portrait of Catherine Ferdon still
hangs upon the fall in the old mansion.

Lover.

New York.-Although time has al
most erased from memory a romance
of oyer half a century ago there yet
remains an old tomb at the uppermost
end of the Palisades to tell a curious
story long buried within It's grim graz
walls, says a special In the Herald OF
this city. A narrow, overgrown path
winds its way up to the old vault from
the road which leads from Sparkill to
Piermont, where within the shadow OF
the Palisades this tomb has stood for
over so years.
Not far from this spot, along the
roadway leading to the banks of ths
Hudson, stands an old colonial man
sion which for years has been deserted
Behind its bolted doors still remain
much of the handsome old furniture
and decorations which tell OF the once
luxurious home. The old spinning
wheel still stands In the e and
the richly painted portraits still hang
upon the walls. A shady driveway
running around the rear of The house
winds Its way to the top of the Pail

stretches before you of the Hudson

William Ferdon, of Holland Dutch
descent, migrated to this section of the
country many years before the civil

soon became very wealthy. The man

lumber from his sawmill and the sur
rounding estate was kept IN splendid

Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes
four times a day, through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, and benefit will be seen at
once. Continue this treatment for a
short time, and your catarrh will
have been cured by Hyomei.
There is no roundabout way in Hy-
omei's medicinal action; it does not
try to cure a disease of the head by
putting medicine in the stomach. IL
fills the air you breathe with balsamic
healing, that soothes the irritated and
smarting membrane, destroys the
germs of catarrh that are present in
the head and throat, and is the only
treatment that can be relied upon to
cure.
When using Hyomei the air you
breathe will be like that on the noun
tains high above the sea level, filled
with volatile, antiseptic fragrance
that heals and cures the irritated
mucou membrane OF the air passages.
This treatment has been so success
full, curing 80 per cent. of all who have
used it that Hyomei is now sold by
w. s. Harper & Co., under an abso-
lutte guarantee to refund money if it
does not benefit. You run no risk
whatever in buying Homei. If it did
not possess unusual powers to cure, it
could not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
S1.00 and comprises a hard rubber in
