STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH
Scallin Bros. Guarantee that Hyomei
Will Cure the Worst Case of
CatHrrh III Mitchell.

When one Of the most reputable
concerns in Mitchell guarantees that
a medicine will effect a cure or they
will refund the money, it speaks vul-
umes as to the merits of that rem
eedy. 1t is in this way that ScaIlin
Bros. are selling Hyomei, the treat
inent that has made so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Mitchell and vicinity.
..Hyomei is not Il pill, nor is it a
liquid that has to. be taken With a
tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe
1t by the aid Of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be
seen from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs ana enriches and
puriies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat. or Of the stomach, liver
and X iincys. Wherever mucous men,
brane contains catarrhal germs there
Hyomei will do its work OF healing.
When using this treatment the air
you breathe will be found like that
on the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fra.
glance that is healing to the respira-
tory ORGANS.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. 90 and Includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you Scallin Bros. will refund
your money. This is a good time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season.

HIS IDENTIFY UNCOVERED
William $. Haskell Arrested o
information From Bowling
Green. Ohio
Green. Ohio

For the past five months there has
seen a stranger in the city. and 9TH
er than that his name was William
S. Haskell ana that he vas in some
way connected with a book publish
ing house. little was known of him.
Tuesday evening Chief Keith placed
Mr.. Haskell under arrest on informa-
tion received from the sheriff of
Bowling Green, Chic. The chief
met his man Oh the street about 8
O'Clock and invited him to 90 to his
Office With lim. There the chief ex-
hibited some letters from the Ohio
sheriff, and among them was a pic
ture Of Haskell, who at once acknow-
lodged that he was the man wanted.
The letter contained a description Of
Nh. Haskell and a picture, stallna
that he was wanted for embezzlement.
He Is referred to as a man about SO
years old, and that he walked with
his head hanging. His avocation was
that OF an attorney and that he also
followed book selling, and that he
was a nan OF good address and a fine
talker. AS a further mark the letter
stated he vas cross-eyed, although
his picture did not show this very
clearly.
Chief Keith wired the sheriff Of
IlnVpltntv Nr0n, fhnf IN hol l,te &,
and the sheriff sent a reply Wednes-
day that he would start at once for
Mitchell, and is expected to arrive in
q few days. When arrested Mr.. Has
kell did not show any surprise and
took the matter quite calmly, but
he declined to offer any information
concerning his connection With an
embezzlement.
Mr.. Haskell came to Mitchell some
time last summer, and he had been
here but a::short :time before he be-
came the object OF much scrutiny,
and many Efforts we're made to find
out who he was. Tut all we're unavail-
ing. He boarded at the Columbia
and every day took long walks
to the north part of the city. FIRE.
auently he would 90 down to the
railroad yards of the Milwaukee road
and sit down on a pile of ties and
read some letters. These actions cre-
ated something of a mystery about
him that could not. help but exercise
the curiosity Of the public. MI.
Haskell went to the postofice every
day and he frequently received let
tiers addressed to him in his own
name. These were mostly from book
houses.
Within the past month, however,
MI. Haskell has not been SO reticent
in bis manner aud he has shown a
disposition to cultivate the acquaint-
tance Of people. Men whom he has
passed on the street times without
number during the summer and fall
he has spoken to and engaged in some
conversation in the past few weeks.

just buried in Savannah, has very
misleading record in the paroles of
the Army of Northern Virginia" He
is simply recorded as Edward Pa
Getty" of Company d, Eighth Florida
Regiment. Only one corporal-"Felix
Pacetty''-and four privates signed the
parole papers at Appomattox. The
regiment was in command of Maj
Thomas f. Clarke, who surrendered
only twenty nine 'non-coms" and pri-
Yates, and the following commissioned
officers: r. p. Daniel, surgeon; Theo-
dore West, assistant surgeon; j. ].

AS to the errors in the name of Vet
eran Pacetti, the entire parole list is
full of them. Adjt. T. w. Shine is

at random, of the errors l have found

found in old and new registers of the

I don't fancy the misleading way in

public careers after the war were not
on the same lines. And yet the
Youths Companion says they both
held Office under the Federal govern
ment, and both did their duty loyalty"
If Gen. Gordon ever held a federal Of
flee it must have escaped my critical
eye. He was Governor and senator,
but both offices came to him by the
Democratic votes of the people and
Legislature of Georgia. Every Office
held by Gen. Longstreet was a federal
office to which he was appointed by
a Republican president. Gordon was
always a loyal Democrat, and while
he was 0ike Mark Hanna) popular
with members of the other party, he
was never false to the cause for which
he so often drew his sword in battle.
Longstreet was a great soldier by edu
cation, but Gordon was as illustrious
a soldier without a military educa-
ton. l have no desire to rob the for
mer of any honor due him in his grave,
but / protest that Longstreet and Cor
don were not political "Dromios."

Pine Crest Villa. Maitland. Fla,
April 16.--I am compelled to give my
readers some held-over matter this
week. A telegram from Chelsea,
Mass, announces the sudden death of
my only and older brother, Col. John
a. Lancey. u. S. v. We had hoped to
meet at the G. A. r. encampment at
Boston in August, both being aides
on the COMMUNICATIVE chiefs staff; but
he has crossed over the river and
Joined his comrades gone before" No
drawer soldier or more patriotic ever
drew a sword and the author of the
History of the First Maine Heavy
Artillery"-the famous regiment that
lost more men than any other on
either side-says of him: THE writer
will never forget the finding of this
officer at the division hospital, with
five or six severe woundS-all bleed
ing. But he was still courageous, hope
full and making the best of his small
chance for recovery" That was on
June 10, 1864, after the terrible battles
about Petersburg, and yet he lived
but not without frequent reminders of
that day in recurring physical suffer-
ing-until last Saturday. He died as
would have wished to die, with the
harness on" and suddenly, without
any deathbed scene. Attired in his
Grand Array uniform, he was coming
out of Young's Hotel in Boston, on
Saturday night, where he had attend
ed G. A. r. banquet, when he was
stricken with a heart trouble that
caused his death before he could be
taken to the hospital. And so his life
ended, surrounded by his old war COM
rades, and beloved and honored by all
who knew him, for OF him 1t could be

with Russia. For many years Japan
has been sending her sons and daugh-
fers tc this country to be educated at
our leading universities, and at our
military and naval academies, and this
has brought us into more intimate re-
lations with that country. Russia, on
the other hand, whether justly or not
| do not say, has never beer held in
very high esteem by the American peo-
pie. She is a great and powerful ma
ton, but this does not assure her a vic

al to the Union, for which his father
and grandfather had fought under
Jackson and Washington, he was not
guilty of any of the outrages charged
against Gen. David Hunter. AS Porte

War, he died, in 1883, at Charleston,
w. Va, loved and respected by all
who knew him.
Harper's Weekly has been comment
ing on Wendell Phillips earliest utter
ances and estimate of Abraham Lin
coin. 1t reminds me of a lively scene
which | created. in 1865, in one of the
Phillips meetings at fremont Temple.
Although a Democrat, and not a sup
porter of President Lincoln's policy, I
could not sit quietly in my seat and
hear him lied about, no matter how
eloquent the speaker. And l rose and
charged Mr.. Phillips with using the
language of a Backyard in his at
tack upon Mr.. Lincoln. This created
great confusion and called forth cries
of Mr.. Phillips is a gentleman" to
which / simply replied: "He may be
a gentleman, but he uses the language
of a blackguard.' After Lincoln's
death Mr.. Phillips changed his opin-
ions of the ability and high character
of the man he had 50 often abused
while living. But many others-Dan-
tel, Watterson and Grady, for exam
ple-have done the same, and wisely
too.
William E. Curtis, the noted Chicago
newspaper correspondent, has been
travelling in India, and he was some

way station being Jeypure. but the
platform lamps reading Jeypoor, while
his ticket had it Jaypur. Then his
bill of fare in the refreshment room
read Jaipor, but his telegram at the
Office had it Jaiphur. Well, as he
paid his money at all the places he
had his choice as to the name he pre-
ferred. 1t may not be quite as bad

am glad to see that my old and al
ways respected friend Rev. DIR. w.
d. Johnson, presiding elder of the Val
dosta district, is being spoken of for
one of the new bishops to be elected at
the coming general conference of the
Colored Methodists. l have known him
nearly thirty years, as | have known
Bishop Gaines. as a minister of edu-
cation, zeal and successful labors for
his branch of the Colored Methodist
denomination. The office of bishop
in any church, white or colored, should
be filled by divine of education, high
moral character and ripe experience in
church work. Ii is an office that
should seek the man. One for which
there should be no unseemly scramble.
Long and faithful service, in various
departments of church work. such as
Rev. DIR. Johnson, has rendered to his
denomination, should be rewarded by
the highest honors in the gift of the
church. My old friend Johnson has
faithfully and honorably given long
years of such service to his denomina-
ton, and being eminently qualified for
the position his friends desire bestowed
upon him, he should return from the

bishop of his church.
