sNAILs ovERRUN A CITY.
In bi ta n ta of lndiana Town OrgaAs ise Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af' ficted people call them, lately struck Jeffersorsville, Ind, in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb ruary, 1884, but they have never been so bad as at present. The pests arc not exactly like snail, but resemble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city where the food water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from cne to six inches in length, being from a quarter to an inch in diameter. It is not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places. under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest, and when slug is found it's days are numbered. for tte smallest particle Of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind a sliny track, that furnishes clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character istics of the slugs is their ability to get h,., 1a, |,,Iioc hy.nuo.f, II space. They f1atter out almost as thin es knife blade. allowing them to crawl thrcrgh a good sized door crack.

more than one preparation guaranteed
to cure kidney complaint, but my
efforts were rewarded with very little
success. For about three years
the pain in my back, just across the
loins, added to the irregularity Of
the action Of the kidney secretions
left no doubt that my kidneys we're
either weakened or over.excited. At
ter a dose or two of Deans Kidney

PRISON TwINE OUTPUT SOLD.
Warden Hall Says he Can Dispose of
100000 Pounds Next Year.

JEFFERSON CRY, June 26.-The last
pound Of binder Irvine manufactured
by the State penitentiary plant this
year has been sold, making in all 512,-
900 pounds for the season. This is
regarded as remarkable, inasmuch as
the Irvine was late in getting on the
market. The factory this season has
been run at half Its capacity, and it
was thought In the spring that the
output could not all be sold. Warden
Hall, however, has since discovered
his inability to supply the demand.
The last pound was shipped to-day to
Martinsburg, Audrain county, where
1000 pounds were wanted. But 1900
pounds were left, and that was
shipped.
1.-THE close OF this seasons bust
ness, " said Warden Matt Hall, to-day,
demonstrates the fact that the
prison binding Irvine plant is a COM
plete success, and that the States
investment will be profitable in the
highest degree. Next year we will
sell 1000, 900 pounds, and do 1t easily

SPRING cATARRH.
Changeable Weather Causes Disease
Breathe Hyomei and Cure
Catarrh.

The ehapgeable weather OF Spring
with Its warm days and cold nights,
Is responsible for a great increase
In the number Of cases Of catarrh.
II is 10Y that Hyomei, the only
guaranteed treatment for catarrh,
that cures without stomach dosing,
should be used in every home
Hyomei Is a scientific method by
which pure air impregnated with
Natures own remedies for the cure of
catarrh, can be inhaled by every suf-
ferer In his or her home. Breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, its healing
volatile, ~antiseptic fragrance reaches
the lungs and air passages as no stom-
ach dosing can possibly do. 1t gives
immediate relief and makes lasting
cures.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment
will do all that is claimed for it is
found in the guarantee under which
Woodbridge s. Purdy sell it, an agree
ment TO pay back the price, if the
purchaser can say that Hyomei has
not given satisfaction. Complete out

TOWN ORDINANCES
DELAY THE MAILS.
So Claims the C. & A. Railroad in
Seeking an Injunction Against
Trustees Of Rush Hill, Mo.

from SL- LOalh bAoUc-DchuOcfhks
To prevent the Marshal and trus-
tees Of Rush Hill, Mo from interior
with employees OF the road and from
limiting the speed Of trains passing
through that town is the object OF an
injunction sought against the officials
OF the United States District Court by
the Chicago s. Alton Railroad.
In the document requesting action
from Judge Finkelnburg the road
states that the hamlet has a popula-
ton Of but $50 persons, and that but
two houses are on the north side OF the
railroad track
According to the ordinances passed
by the Town Board, however, the C..
s. A. application states that trains
are limited to eight miles an hour
while within the town limits,
and that a further rule exists which
imposes a penalty IN the road If any
switch engine or hand car is left on
the track for more than ten minutes.
Arrests have been made under this
ordinance by Marshal L 7. Paisley, Of
Rush Hill, 1T is claimed, and fines of
s25 have been imposed.
Action against the road lies in the
fact, it is asserted, that inhabitants
Of the town say longer delay on the
part OF engines or hand cars would re-
suit In the streets being blocked
Inasmuch as the two households on
the north of the railway track must
furnish ali trafic to the other section
of the town, the @ s. A. petition sets
forth that the impediment to any
rushing business Of she town is not
very serious and that tha ordinance is
unreasonable.
Moreover, by limiting the speed OF
trains TO eight miles per hour In the
town limits the road claims that the
mails are being delayed. 1t asks for
an injunction against the Marshal and
against Trustees II Doolin, Henry
Wlnkler, W. @. Cornett, James
Myers and Alfred F. Gutter.
A case wherein an arrest was made
is now pending, and Attorney p. II.
Cullen, Of Mexico, who serves for the
town trustees, has agreed TO make no
further arrests until the case comes
up In the District Court September
II.

ton.
