FIGHTING

Contest Will Go into the

Manning against Rutland
Millionaire.
OVER JUDGE MERRILL

Rutland, April lS.-One ofthe direct
consequences of the defeatof the Glenn
ent ticket in Saturday nights caucus
to elect delegates to the Republican
district convention at Burlington,
April 2l, is that the fight against Glenn
ent will be carried into the district
convention. The anti-Clement men
have decided to put forward J, F..
Manning, president and general man
ager of the Columbian Marble Co. of
this city, as their candidate for dis
trict delegate to the national conyen-
tion at Chicago June 2l, as against j.
A. Merrill of this city, who now stands
as the Clement candidate.
Up to Saturday night the anti-Clem-
ent men were disposed to unite in the
election of Mr. Merrill with the under
standing that factional lines were not
to be drawn in the matter at all and
that Mr. Merrill, in his condidacy.
stood for himself alone. The negoti-
ations that were undertaken TO this
end, however, soon developed the fact
that Mr. Merrill's candidacy was likely
to assume the character OF a Clement
"feeler, - and the result was that the
anti-Clemeut men UFgauized and de
feated the Merrill tickets for dele
gates.
1t is not known whether Mr. Merrill
will carry the fight up to the district
convention now that he has lost his
home delegation, but it is now assured
that Manning will be the anti-Clement
any way and strong efforts
are being put forth to organize Rut-
land county and other parts Of the dis
trict TO his interest.

CURE GATARRH BY BREATHING.
Druggist GOkay Offers TO Return
Money II HyUmsi Treatment
Fails TO Cure Catanh
Without Stomach
Dosing.

Ii for a few minutes four times a
day you breathe Hyomei, an catarrhal
germs will be destroyed and the irri-
tated mucous membrane restored to
health.
With every Hyomei outfit there is a
neat inhaler which can be carried in
the purse or pocket. Hyomei breathed
through this contains the same heal
ing balsams that are found in the air
upon the mountains, where catarrh is
unknown.
1t destroys all catarrhal germs in
the air passages of the head, throat
and nose, and makes positive and
permanent cure OF catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
while extra bottles of Hyomei can be
obtained for 80 cents, making il one Of
the most economical treatments for ca
tarrh.
Druggist Gokay believes so thorough
ly in the merit of Hyomei, that he
guarantees to refund the money if it
fails. This is certainly the strongest
evidence he can give Of his faith in
the Byomei treatment. 1t enables any
one to use Hyomei without risk of
spending money for nothing.
Ask Druggist Gokay to show you a
Hyomel outfit and explain to you what
a simple and easy way it is to relieve
and cure your catarrhal troubles.

LONDON, April ia st. Peters
burg dispatch says that detachment
Of Russian troops which left southern
Ussuli has reached Maoershan, on the
west bank of the Yalu river, l75 miles
north of Pingyang, without having
encountered any of the enemy. The
detachment has occupied mountain
pass between Manchuria and Korea,
which it is fortifying with mountain
batteries.
An official telegram states that there
is no change in the situation on the
Ialu river at Win. The Russian out
posts are now on islands of the river
100 yards from the japanese outposts,
which are preparing to retire.
Major General Plug, chief of the
military staff at Port Arthur, tele-
graphs that all statements regarding
a siege and fall Of Port Arthur are un-
founded.
An attempted landing by japanese
troops on the shores of Korea bay be-
tween Port Arthur and the Yalu river
has been frustrated by the Russians.

Vice Admiral Togo's flagship then re-
called nine transports which were on
the way to land troops A squadron Of
ten warships protecting the transports
withdrew with them. The Russians
have 2O,OOOmen concentrated at Taku-
shan.
A force landing between Tallushan
and Chingtaitse would have been in a
position to isolate the defenders of
Port Arthur and cut their line of COM
munication. Takushan is in Manchu-
ria, about fifty miles 70 the westward
Of the estuary of the Yalu river, and
Chingtaitse is about twenty-five miles
west of Takushan. or about $50 miles
from Port Arthur.
Vice Admiral Togo's immense supe-
riority enables him TO hold the Russian
squadron In Port Arthur. and Japanese
transports, therefore, can safely pass
through the strait of Pechili and at
tempt TO land at the head Of the gulf
of Liaotung under the guns of the
warships, as did General Skaters ar
my at Daiquiri, Cuba. If this should
succeed the japanese will be in an ex-
cellent position to execute flank

CUT AND POUNDED HIN

Rutland, April l9:-Alex Linquist,
a Swede employed at the Lincoln Iron
works, was set upon by four men on
the walk west of the city hall last night
and badly cut up by his assailants.
He was returning a few minutes after
s O'Clock and was passing the city hall
when he was attacked from behind by
three or four men. He is not sure
which, but thinks there were four. Re
was knocked down and struck repeat
edly.
Linquis was able to walk to his
boarding house, DR. j. D. Hanrahan
was summonded and dressed the
wounds. The most serious wound was
on the right knee where there was
cash three inches long, which went
down behind the knee pan and into the
knee joint and will probably cause a
stiff knee. There were also seven
long gashes on the mans head cut
clear to the bone. His right cheek
bone is thought to be broken. Besides
this his head is pretty we'll battered up
all over
The man will probably be laid up
for some time with the knee. Linquist
has no idea as to the identity of his
assailants. The police say there is
little to work on in the line of clews.
