Extra bottles of Hyomei can

When breathed through the
inhaler, the germ-killing and
health-giving Hyomei goes to
the most remote cells of the
throat and lungs, killing all the
catarrhal germs, soothing the
irritated mucous membrane and
vitalizing the blood with ozone.

"OId Bin" Took a Tumble.

"Old Bill, the horse that
Dayie Hearn drives on his de-
livery wagon, took a frightful
tumble Saturday evening. Mr..
Hearn had driven back of Mrs.
H. G. Warmers house above the
school house to deliver some
goods. The horse commenced
to back up, and before he could
be stopped the wagon had gone
over the bank and pulled the
horse after it, and down they
all went in a heap, falling
th.rty-fve feet to the ground
below. When the wagon started
over the bank Mr.. Hearn
Jumped out, thereby saving
himself from going over with
the horse and wagon. In the
wagon We're a couple of pigs,
two baskets of fruit, half a
dozen chairs, two trunks and a
setting of $500 eggs, and they
were all mixed up in one brok-
en- mass when Mr.. Hearn
reached the bottom of the bank.
He expected to find the horse
killed, but was astonished to
find that the only hurt it had
sustained was a bad shaking
up. The wagon was broken in
several places and the contents
OF the wagon were badly brok-
en-. Mr.. Hearn thinks his dam
age will not exceed ten dollars.
Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred the horse would be
killed in taking such a tumble.

The democratic state conven-

on Wednesday, May 18th. The

men, and our prediction is that
the Parker men will control the
convention and keep out any
instructions for Hearst. Har-

the National convention, and
The Times has no doubt of Ed
wards election. He has always
been a faithful worker in the
Democratic party, and as Har-
rison county has never had the
district delegate to the National
convention we believe it by
right belongs to this county
this year. Harrison county will
ask the delegates from the
other counties in the district to
give their votes to Edward H.
Barrett of Dunlap, for district
delegate, and we can assure
them that they cannot vote for
a more deserving man for the
rccition
