The B. L. ingalls, for whose arrest
warrant was issued November 28,
1908, charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses, has at
last been located. He is now under
arrest, so it is reported, in Hartford,
Conn, on the charge of passing
worthless check. Martin McMahon,
Montpelier's chief of police, has
written TO the police department of
Hartford asking that Ingalls, he turned
over to Montpelier officers as soon as
the Hartford officers are done with
the man.
The specific charge against Ingalls,,
in this city, is the passing of
worthless check for S25 on J. Edward
Bailey, but it was reported that he
stuck several others in town by show
ing bank book that had an ample
paper balance" in his favor
When the police here in Montpelier
found that ingalls, was among the
missing, after the issuing of the war
rant, Chief MoMahon sent ont cir
oular to the larger police departments
through New England, On Novem-
Der 23, last, the chief received
letter from Peter B. Cannon, captain of
the detective bureau in Providence,
R. asking if Iugslls was still wanted
in Montpelier. On receiving an
affirmative answer Capt. Cannon in
formed Chief Mcmahon that Ingalls,
is under arrest in Hartford.

and Means Comm ittee

A bill was presented in the House
on Tuesday by Mr.. Proctor from
| the ways and means committee rela-
tive TO the taxation of railroad, ex-

tion by which the steamboat compan-
les may be taxed.

one per cent on sleeping. parlor ard
dining car companies is assessed of
that portion of the fair market value

Der of miles of RAILROAD in this State

thorized agents within the State 1t

Sons in relation to corporation taxa
tion.

Stomach D Using will not Cure

ONLY WAY TO CURE CATARRH is Bf
BREATHING HYoMEI.
Ask any physician if catarrh is blood
disease and he will tell you that it is
diseased condition of the mucous mem
brane and that it cannot be cured by
blood purifiers, pills, tablets, or other
forms of stomach dosing. The only SEN
sible and scientific way of curing catarrh
is by the use of Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four OF
five times day, through hard rubber
inhaler that is so small that 1t can DC
carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs
and cure the disease. Catarrh can never
exist where Hyomei is used. 1t has
two-fold action, destroying the disease
germs in the air passages and lungs and
soothing and healing the infiamed mu'
cous membrane.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co., one of the most
reliable firms in Paris, are giving theiI
personal guarantee with every package
of Hyomei they sell, that it will effect
cure or they will return the money
They have had scores of reports of re,
markable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81
and comprises an inhaler, bottle OF
Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler
will last lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for QUO
