COMMUNICATION FROM PRICE DRUG
COMPANY.
offer to Refund Money if HyOmei
Does Not Cure CataFrh.

To the Editor of The Leader:
We have been asked recently if
the advertisements printed in
your columns regarding Hyomei
we're true, where we offer to re-
fund the money if this treatment
does not cure catarrh. We wish
you would please print this letter
in as conspicuous place as possi-
BILE in your paper, saying that we
absolutely agree to refund the
money to any purchaser of a
Hyomei outfit if it does not cure
catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler
Of a convenient size to be carried
in the vest pocket so that the user
can breathe Hyomei four or FIVE
times daily. With this is includ-
ed a medicine dropper and a bot.
tie of Hyomei. The outfit sells
for $1.O0 and is a most economical
treatment, for the inhaler lasts a
lifetime and there is enough
Hyomei for several weeks use,
while extra bottles can be obtain
ed for so cents.
We trust that this letter will
settle any doubts that may have
arisen as to our willingness to re-
fund the money for Hyomei
outfit, in case the purchaser is not
perfectly satisfied.
We wish to say emphatically
that our guarantee on Hyomei
holds good, and we will refund
the money to any dissatisfied pur-
chaser who simply states that he
has used the treatment according
to directions and not been helped.
Respectfully yours,
PRICE DRUG co.

Death Of Walter /. WeIch.

On Tuesday, Sept. the 26th, at
7:30 o'clock, Walter L. Welch
passed from earth to eternity. He
was twenty-five years old. He
leaves a devoted father, mother,
brothers and sisters; besides these
he leaves a host Of other friends
to mourn his death.
Walter was most devoted and
obedient son. As brother, he
was kind and affectionate; as a
friend, ever loyal and true.
We know there is, in that home,
a vacant place which never can be
filled. Your loved one was lent
you for only a short while to
make happy the lives of those who
came within the sphere of his
home and influence.
It was Gods will to call him
from his home and loved ones and
We should submissively bow to
His will, for God never makes a
mistake. Our sympathy goes out
to all his friends and loved ones.
A FRIEND.

ARRAY At MEANWHILE.
Sheriff A. N. Newman and c. G.
Guice ENGAGE in a Lively
Pistol Duel.

What came near being serious
shooting fracas occurred just this
| side of the LeGette house about
4 O'Clock yesterday evening be-
tween Sheriff A. M. Newman and
Mr.. G. G. Guice. Both parties
emptied their guns at each other
at pretty close range. Newman
receiving the only wound, a slight
one on the leg. There has been
considerable i'll feeling between
the two men for some time, and it
was suspected the two would have
trouble sooner or later.
The facts in the case, as related
by Mr.. Guice and Mr.. w. E.
Mullins, who was present and wit
messed the affair, are about these:
Mr.. Guice was moving back to
Meadville assisted by Mr.. Mul-
lins, and met Sheriff Newman at a
point just this side of the old Le-
Gette house. In passing, there
was slight collision between the
buggy and wagon which occasion
ed some sharp and unpleasant Ian
guage from Newman and was re-
turned by Guice. After passing,
Newman stopped his buggy, got
out and again cursed Guice in
most vile manner. Guice then
jumped from the wagon and the
shooting commenced, Newman
getting in two shots before Guice
fired, and both men emptied their
guns with the result stated above.
Mr.. Guice and Mr.. Mullins both
state that the assault was unpro-
voked and uncaIled for.
Mr.. Guice had two of his little
children in the wagon, and it be-
ing in line of Newman's gun, it
seems an especial act of provi-
dence that they were not injured.
Warrants were sworn out last
night against Guice and Mullins
charging assault and battery with
intent to kill, and they were plac-
ed under arrest this morning.
Warrants will also be sworn out
against Newman charging the
same offense. There is no excite
ment, and every thing is quiet this
morning. = Franklin Advocate,

who asked for a. cough medicine,

THE o OF NOAH.
Geology Proves the Foundation OF
the Biblical Account.

There are Biblical doubters who scon
at the idea that there eve was a great
flood. yet the testimony of the geolo-
gists. to say nothing of 1gnatius Don
nelly's theory of the submerged CONT
nent of Atlantas, proves that at one
time the entire earth's surface was
covered with water. Professor Wright
of Oberlin. who has made geology a
life study, brings us new light upon the
subject. In writing on the subject or
the Contributions of Geology to the
Creditability of the Flood he states
that the level of the land changes con-
stantly. The highest mountains were
ono below the sea-leyel. as is proven
by the finding of sea-shells or the sum-
mits of the highest peaks. All of Cen
trail Asia was once covered by water
and is now drying up. In fact the dry
ing out process has been going on for
thousands of years. The Turkestan and
Siberian low-lands were once sub
merged, while evidence is shown that
the Desert of Cobb was once a body
of water equal to the Mediterranean in
size and depth.
The valley of the Jordan in ages back
was covered with water to a depth OF
from LOCO to 1.400 feet, while changes
of level and climate in Asia seem to
prove that the Deluge once passed oYer
the entire country.

his father would reap, he a lalleu
to notice the rapidity of the CROWN Oh
the stalk which he had As
quickly as he stepped down, so mueh
more rapidly the stalk seemed TO grow
and no was no nearer the bottom than
when he started.
His father. noting the absence or
his son. saw that it would be useless
for him to hunt through he jungle or
waving corn, so he climbed to the top
of his windmill and his anxious eyes
beheld his boy waving his red bandana
in despair. Hastily summoning his
neighbor and his other two sturdy
sons, they proceeded with axes to
chop down the wicked stalk. Their
axes, however, failed TO find the same
mark twice, so rapidly did the stalk
shoot upward. Night came on with
out their accomplishing anything and
the boy was left to what appeared to
be a terrible fate. Like most Kansas
boys, however. he was awake to all
his opportunities, and existed for a
long time on the raw corn, having con-
sumed so much that he later notified
his parents by mean of a message
written on one of the dried corn leaves
that he was getting so fat there was
danger of the stalk breaking with his
weight. He wrote that he believed a
more balanced ration would relieve
his fears, suggesting the planting of
beans at the base of the cornstalk as
an expedient.
However. before the beans could Sc
cure enough growth, the drought
came on and stopped the growth of
the stalk and the boy was enabled
to climb down, thus saving his life.
As mementos of the occasion, the lad
gathered up the corn cobs which he
had thrown down from his lofty seat.
amounting to something over four
bushels and a peck, and on these he
has been working, turning them into
corn-cob pipes which he is exhibiting
at the Truth Bureau of the Portland
Exposition.
