The oldest man in the world is dead,
His name was Noah Raby, who died
March in the Piscataway poorhouse, of
which he had been an inmate for the last
forty years. If he had lived until April
l next, according to his own statement,
Raby would have been 1872 years old.
He retained his memory, and would
recall many incidents of his long career
until very recently. He was born in
Eatontown, Gates County, n c., on
April /, 1872. He enlisted in the navy
in 1905, and served ON the ship Consti-
tuition and the frigate Brandywine, on
the latter of which Farragut was a
lieutenant says the Washington Post.

That Connecticut pastor who tried
advertising to attract an audience and
to fill his church found that it paid. He
advertised the service in his church by
half page poster-type lads" in the local
papers and the result was that practically
the whole town turned out and the
church was crowded. Some of the con.
sentative members of the church are said
to have been shocked, but the pastor
gained his point of getting hearing.
1t was one way of obeying the scriptural
injunction to go out into the by-ways
and hedges and compel them to come in.
Good advertising always pays.

STAMP REBELLION.

Rutland has long been due for a gen.
eral waking-up, but her rebellion against
trading-stamps is the most hopeful sign
of sanity yet exhibited. 1t had gotten
to point where a man couldn't live in
trade unless he gave stamps. There
were stamps of every color of the spec.
trum and the whole thing had becomt
an unqualified nuisance. Now the
merchants propose to throw out the trad
ingstamp Jonah and start anew. Brat

EASY WAY TO CURE
CATARRH.
Breath Hyomei and Kill All Catarrhal
Germs. money Back If 1t Fails"
Says w. II. Sheldon.


Says w. II. Sheldon.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
cling when using Hyomei. The healing
and aromatic balsams which compose
this wonderful treatment are breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every 81 outfit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
health-giving Hyomei penetrates to the
most remote cells of the lungs. 1t
searches out and kills disease germs in
the air passages of the head, throat and
nose, soothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane and absolutely drives
catarrh from the system.
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Hyomei by the best people in
Middlebury, that w. H. Sheldon has the
greatest confidence in its power to cure
catarrh. He believes in it so thoroughly
that he will give his personal guarantee
to refund the money if it does not cure,
the purchaser to be sole judge.
This is an unusual offer and the first
time that any medicine or treatment fol-
the cure of catarrh has been sold in this
way. If it cures, the expense is trifing
while if it fails, the cost is absolutely
nothing.
If you are fortunate enough not to be
troubled with catarrh tell your friend;
of w. H. Sheldon's offer and get then
to take advantage of it.

SUGAR WEATHER,

Sugar weather, what is it? One man
told the editor it was deep snow and
hard frOsts in the winter that made the
days and freezing nights in the sugar
season. And we heard a botanist say
that bad ice storm that injured tops of
the trees would discount both conditions
and put the sugar harvest on the bum,
only he didn't say it in that way. Fact
is, probably, that both conditions and all
three are important, though we are in

JAPANESE LEFT ADVANCES
MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT
IN THE SITUATION AT
THE FRONT.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-The latest
development in the situation at the
front is the definite establishment OF
the fact that Field Marshal Oyama
has now begun to move up his lett.
General Kuropatkins latest report
shows that the Japanese have reached
Davan, on the west bank of the LAO
river A considerable concentration
of Japanese is observed at Sianchan,
Oh the Hun river, thirty-five miles
southwest OF Mukden, and Japanese
cavalry is massing in the valley of the
Pu river. The latter is a tributary of
the Hun river which crosses the line
OF railway midway between Tie pass
and Mukden and may furnish a natural
line of advance from the west.
Oyama's armies now apparently
cover a front of sixty miles for envel-
oping movements. His wings are ex-
tended to the north, east and west of
Mulden. Thus far the Russians have
found little strength or pressure from
the Japanese center. Oyama seems tC
be moving with great deliberation,
probably gathering strength for a
rapid advance Of both wings when an
attempt is made to close the net, AL
though the imaginary line connecting g
the extreme Japanese advance east
and west of Mukden still passes ten
miles below that city it is evident
that the fate of Mukden cannot long
be delayed. If General I<urOpatkin in
tends to try to hold the city fiehtin 3
on his flanks will begin almost imma-
diately.

RUSSIAN COMMANDER-lN-CHIEF.
Practically Certain Grand Duke Mich
oIaS Will Be Named

St Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-Although
an Official announcement to the effect
is not expected Immediately, since it
will require some little time to get
Russia's second army in the field, the
designation of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaievitch, the inspector general
of cavalry, as cOmmander-in-chlef is
regarded as practically settled. Some
of General Kuropatkin's friends still
cling to the hope that he may yet be
appointed, especially if he now
achieves a notable success against
Field Marshal Oyama, but the idea is
not shared in the best informed cir
cles. The situation at the front, with
two and perhaps ultimately three big
armies, is considered to demand above
all else that the supreme commander
be of such personal authority as to be
beyond jealOusies and the possibility
of intrigue on the part of sulDrdlnates
and such man the emperor now
realizes can only be supplied by
member of the imperial family. Grand
Duke Nicholas is regarded as being
extremely well fitted fR this great
responsibility He has youth and an
iron constitution, but above all reso-
luton and untiring energy. With these
qualifications whatever he lacks in
military experience and ability as
strategist can be supplied by placing
at his disposal the most able military
advisors of the Russian army.

was the keynote of the congress, was
delivered by Mgr. Joseph F. Mooney,

Big Timber, Mont, Sept. 28.-Sen.
ator Fairbanks discussed the wool tar

at this point. Senator Fairbanks said:
1T is the policy of the Republican
party, SO far as possible, to diversity
industry throughout the United States.
It has sought to stimulate the estab-
lishment of new industries by means
Of protection. 1t believes in encourag-
ing sheep husbandry and in stimulat-
ing the production of woolen goods in
the United States.
"There is no good reason why the
American farmer should not be able
to produce the wool necessary to meet
our great and expanding domestic
needs. We should not turn over wool
growing for our uses to the farmers of
Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, the
Argentine Republic or elsewhere. We
should not pursue policy which de-
stroys the American flock, but on the
other hand should by application of
the protective principle encourage
sheep raising in our own country"

the pistol within sight of number of
pedestrians. None Of the latter was

that for the past month the professor
had been the victim of insomnia no
light has been shed on the cause of
the suicide.

RAILROAD SHOPS CLOSE.
Move Follows Demand for an Increase

car and locomotive shops here. One
hundred and fifty men were thrown

shutdown came.

shutdown was in any way attributable
to the demands of organized labor.
