c. A. Parcher Wants Every Catarrh
Sufferer to Use Hyomei and be
Cured.
Statistics show that at least 81 out
of every 100 persons in this State suf-
fer from catarrh in some form.
While the disease is one of the
most common, it is also one of the
most dangerous and offensive, leading
to consumption and other diseases of
the respiratory organs.
Prior TO the discovery of Hyomei
and It's introduction in this section by
Il. A. Parcker, every method of treat
ment had been found worthless.
The discovery of Hyomei and its
growing popularity has already re-
duced the percentage of those suffer-
ing from catarrh. This wonderful
remedy is the simplest and most pleas
ant of treatments. Put 20 drops of
Hyomei in the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and breathe
it for few minutes four times a
day. Relief viii be seen after the
first treatment and complete cure
will soon follow. Breathe the Hy-
omei in this way, and the catarrhal
germs, even in the most remote air
cells, are destroyed. The irritated
mucous membrane is soothed and
healed, and perfect health restored.
Mr.. Parcher says to all catarrhal
sufferers, Let me help you to health,
/ am confident Hyomei will cure, SO
confident, in fact, that guarantee to
refund your money If it fails. A COM
plete outfit costs but 81, and if it does
not help you, your money viii be re-
turned promptly"

Ellsworth last Saturday. was profitable
one for the county. While the number Of
jury trials were few and far between, tie
mum Der OF cases that came off the docket,

large.
The whole number to come of was 118,
and only sixty new cases entered. The
liquor dealers, both old and new, came In
for their share OF the fiues, and while not
a jail sentence was imposed nearly ali were
heavily fined. In many OF the cases the
bondsmen refused to stand for the respon-
dents longer, and they 1.-THE respondents)

The closing hours IN the Senate are
always much more quiet than in the

and songs dear to the popular heart are

as Speaker Cannon's gavel falls. Hepre-

George F. Hall, in "Ai Ragged Hero',
is o attraction at Hancock hall for Fri
day, May 6.
Mr.. Halls reputation is firmly estab-
lished, and his play comes with an envi-
able record of success achieved during the
past three seasons. 1t tells story of life
and love among the hills of New Eng
land, its scenic establishment is beauti-
full and appropriate, and it's mechanical
effects are masterpieces of stage realism.
The story tells OF the love of an honest
young farmer for a village belle; of the
young mans being falsely charged by his
murder; OF his condemnation, and re-
prieve secured at the last moment through
the efforts OF his plucky sweetheart, who
undertakes perilous journey through a
wild snow-storm from the governors Of
flee to the prison yard.
Her horse falls exhausted at a hilltop,
and the girl essays to complete the jour
ney on bob-sled which she secures from
a yoke who is waiting for the limited ex-
press, Already overdue, to pass by at the
foot OF the slope. As she dashes down
hill the laundering of the on rushing ex-
press is heard.
Willie Wildfiower, the dragged hero's,
who has been tramping along the track,
sees the girls peril, and tries to flag the
train. The s'iron horse" Is brought to
standstill only just in time to allow Let
tie to dash across the tracks in safety.
