JACKSON CITY RESORT.
Facilities for Betting Said to Be in
Prospect-The Court Gases.


People who have the betting fever are
promised additional facilities next week
for placing their money on the ponies. Fol-
lowing the close of the Benning meeting the
Virginia Telegraph Company, according to
report, is to open its doors at Jackson City
and run a pool room In opposition to the
old-established place at St. Asaph. Should
the new room begin operations and succeed
In getting the coin from those who think
they can beat the races, another such place
may soon be established at Rosslyn.
States Attorney Crandal Mackey Is not
ignorant of what is going on, and believes
1t will be but short time before he will be
able to proceed against the hackers Of both
rooms In the appeal case, in which the
court granted the writ of prohibition and
tied his hands, as stated in The Star at the
time he appealed to the court of appeals at
Richmond, and the case was recorded as
No. "a on the calendar This meant that it
would not be reached until next spring. Mr.
Mackey got into communication with At
torney General Anderson and move was
made to have the case advanced. This move
1t is stated, was resisted by counsel for the
st. Asaph pool room people, but their OBJ
lection did not prevail, and the case was
advanced to be heard next Tuesday.
1t Is expected that a decision will be
reached next week, andzshould it favor the

as an important question is involved.
The question at issue involves the right of

that he will win the fight and win be en-

AGED WOMAN ON SPREE.
Mary Ferguson, Aged "a, Creates Trou-
BILE in House Of Detention.

There was genuine trouble in the house
Of detention Thursday night when Mrs.
Mary Ferguson. a ledger, under the infiu-
cree of liquor, threatened to clean out the
establishment. Mrs. Ferguson Is ninety
four years old. so she states. and is a
native of Richmond. Va. but has not been
there since about 1876. Thinking she has
not many more years to live she wants to
return to the place of her birth and there
spend the remainder of her time on earth.
The elderly woman reached the Baltimore
and Ohio depot Thursday afternoon, told
her story to a policeman and was sent to
the house of detention. AS the rules of the
house forbid the searching of dodgers, Mrs.
Ferguson was sent to the second floor with
cut the contents of her pockets being IN
vestigated. While eating supper she spilled
glass of milk. and it was afterward ascer-
tanned that the accident occurred while she
was trying to make a milk punch. When
1t was discovered that she had been drink
ing an effort was made to ascertain from
where she had obtained her liquor, and an
almost empty flask was found on her. Then
she became hilarious. and the officers on
duty found 1t necessary to send her to the
first precinct station to be cared for, as
intoxicated persons are not kept at the
house of detention.
When Mrs. Ferguson had recovered from
the effects of her little spree she was re-
turned to the house of detention and cared
for until yesterday afternoon, when she
was taken away by the board of charities
and made comfortable at a charitable insti-
tuition. Her case will be investigated, and
she may eventually reach Richmond.
Her story to the police was that her hus.
band was a harness maker and worked at
his trade in the confederate army until he
Died. Ten years after the war was over
she moved to Anne Arundel county, Nd.
where she lived until after the death of
her youngest boy. Since then. she stated,
she has travelled from place to place, selling
matches and shoe laees in pleasant
weather. During 1.-THE winter seasons she
seeks refuge in almsheuses and other chari-
table institutions Her last home. she said.
was in the almshouse In Baltimore.
An effort will be made by the board of
charities to find the relatives of the aged
woman.

NATURES OWN CURE
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dang.
erous Dragging of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully
say that a remedy for catarrh was
known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few min
utes four times a day, and during
that time every particle of air taken
into the air passages and lungs is
impregnated with the germ killing
and health giving Hyomei. It is
the only treatment that cures
catarrh
Stomach dragging often causes
disordered digestion or brings on
some other disease and never makes
permanent cure of catarrh.
Hyomei not only kills the germs in
the throat and nose but penetrates
to the minutest air cells in the lungs
and enters the blood with the OXy-
gen, killing the germs in the blood
1t frees the mucous membrane from
poisonous microbes and gives per
feet health.
A complete outfit costs but $1.00,
and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
J. T. Bennett has so much faith
in the merit of Hyomei that he
agrees to return the money to any
purchaser who may be dissatisfied.

in to ring the basement bell. He hadn't

his neck and whisked him around, and
then a broad toed No. 8 shoe played
against him and assisted him to find

We know of nothing so good for
Group or whooping cough. It is good
when you first take cold. 1t is good
when your cough is deep seated or
your lungs sore or painful. It is good
for any kind of cough. Oran Ham
