THE MERRILL CONTROVERSY
More Fuel For Discussion in This Well Advsr.
tised Matter.

Editor OF the Banner
1t is safe to say that
there are five thousand voters in
Bennington County and while the
Republicans as rule have generally
succeeded in electing their ticket, the
majority has not always been to the
liking of the leaders.
In the county as we'll as in the town
of Bennington, the majority has
varied, and what is the normal ma
jority of either town or county is a
question that the most shrewd of pol
itical leaders cannot always readily
answer.
Well known members of the ring
laugh heartily when told that their
hold upon the Office of States Attor-
ney is. perhaps not as strong this
year as in past years. They have
cracked the party whip successfully
too long to be easily scared, they are
in business permanently so to speak.
The 81 archery" is in active operation
and of course the fedgelings of today
are expected to be the States Attor-
ney of the future.
The Office of chief prosecutor OF
Bennington county has, for many
years, changed only in its "person-
mel. " The management of its affairs
has continued along old established
lines, While the Office has ever been
carefully guarded from intruders. This
year finds double guard placed
around IT,
Is the office impregnable? Remem-
Der that the guard, while noisy is
small, but the voters are many. The
Republican party naturally and
properly desires that an old time
majority be given their state ticket in
September, but it would be UNDER
stood that no matter how large may
be the Republican vote for Mr. Mer-
ril, ii should in no was affect Bells
m ajority. The Office of states attor-
ney is purely local, and a radical
change in its management would be
most wholesome as well as encourage
ing.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
hyOmei Goes To The Root Of The
Disease And Makes AStOnish-
Ing Cures.
ing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the uss
of pills, liquid medicines AID so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs OF the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
abe germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen. destroys
the microbes in the blood and effectu-
ally drives from the system all traces
of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that
Druggist Gokay will agree to refund
the money II you say Hyomei has not
cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket, a
medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts a life time,
and il one bottle does not cure, an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
yor 30 cents.

Shreveport AT Birmingham.
Memphis at montgomery
New Orleans at Nashville
Little -.ock at Atlanta.

After a week of disasters the Coal
Barons meet Shreveport ON Slagtown
green this afternoon for the first time this
year. Shreveport comes touted as great
team and local fans are anxious to see
them work. In the recent series at shreve-
port Birmingham lost three out of four
games and the men under OBrien are
anxious for vengeance.
1t is not known who will pitch for
either club this afternoon. Manager
O'Bren says that he will not know who
will pitch until the men warm up. Ac-
cordlng to regular turn 1t should be Allo-
ways day but as Clark only worked
little more than three innings against
Little Rock it is possible he will go in
against the team he beat so badly in
Shreveport
All Of the western teams will play in
the east this week as they did the lat
ter part of last week. So far they have
done well and this is especially true of
Little Rock. Mike Firms crowd trim
med the Barons for three straight games
on the.zhome grounds and that is the
worst Blow of all. The fans had counted
ON annexing at least two out of three
of those games and all calculations were
knocked to the winds.
Shreveport defeated New Orleans yes
terday and Is making a hard fight to
take the lead. The Barons are equally
anxious to get out of the rut they have
struck and consequently some warm
fighting is expected this afternoon.
1t is expected that Joe Hennager, for
merly with Little Rock, will join the
Birmingham team today He has had
some trouble with Finn and the latter
has agreed to let Birmingham sign him.
Hennager is a good ball player. He lead
the second basemen of the Southern
league last year In fielding and batted
1903 1t is not known what disposition
will be made of Hennager after he
comes as Lynch is playing a star game
at second and could hardly be improved
upon. Manager O'Brien is going on the
theory that 1t is always good policy to
pick up strong men no matter how good
the team is at present.
