RIGHT TIME TO CURE CATARRH
F. A. sHURrLEFF & co. GUARANTEE

F. A. sHURTLEFF & co. GUARANTEE
HYoMEI WILL CURE IF USED NOW.
The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled, is the best
| time of the whole year to treat catarrhal
troubles with the expectation of complete
and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh of the head
and throat should know how foolish it is
to try and cure it by drugging the stom-
ach.
Until recently your physician would
have said that the only way to cure
catarrh would be by change of climate,
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your purse or
vest pocket, and by breathing it few
minutes four times day soon cure
yourself.
Everyone who has catarrh, or even a
tendency to catarrh, should use Hyomei
now, for the benefit will be gained twice
as quickly and the disease thoroughly
eradicated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and includes a neat pocket
inhaler, medicine dropper, and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. The inhaler lasts lifetime, and
if more Hyomei is needed, extra bottles
can be obtained for so cents.
In Paris there are scores of well known
people who have been cured of catarrh
by Hyomei. If it does not cure you, F.
A. Shurtleff & Co. will return your
money. This is the strongest evidence
they can offer as to their faith in the
remedy.

The Waterford Railroad.
WORK HAS BEGUN AND THE NEW COM
PANY INCORPORATE UNDER THE
NAME: "NORwAY & WESTERN RAIL
ROAD COMPANY"

The new railroad from Norway to
Waterford is fact. Since last Tuesday
engineers have been working upon the
plans for the changes in location and the
erection at once of bridge four hun
dred feet in length to span the outlet of
Norway Lake.
Mr.. William G. Rand, the promoter,
arrived Wednesday morning from trip
to Montreal. and the work will be push
ed from now until the road is completed.
The name Oxford Central has been
dropped and the new company has in
corp0rated under the name NORWAY
& Western Railroad Company"
The road will make direct connection
with the Grand Trunk, starting from the
end of the Grand Trunk rails at the
Norway depot. Mr.. Rand will endeavor
to have the four-hundred foot bridge
across the outlet of the lake completed
during the present month, so that the
rails can be laid and the construction
material forwarded by steam construc-
ton locomotives as fast as the work
progresses.
The changes in location from the
original plan are from Norway station to
the corn shop, taking the road out OF
the mill yard of G. B. Cummings IL
Sons, and about one mile in Waterford
from a point near the town house at
Waterford Flat it will be changed from
the shore of Tom Pond to the side hill.

q. w. Hammond.

Through the politeness of Rev. Mr..
Athearn who attended the funeral Of
G. w. Hammond in West Buckfeld,
May 90, we were privileged to pay last
tribute of respect to the memory of an
old friend. Mr.. Hammond was 62 years
of age, and has always lived at the
homestead Of his grandparents and
parents, and his last resting place is on
the old farm, where lies the dust OF his
ancestors, also a wife who preceded
him.
Mr.. Hammond at one time was engag.
ed in business in Buckfield village,
where he proved himself man Of
strict business integrity, and in oul
business and personal relations friend
ship was formed which has never
waned.
Mr.. Hammond leaves two sons, and
daughter. The younger son, Clifton
retains the farm.
Lies labors now are over for whom We mourn
today.

Amos A. Buck Bound Over.
BAIL FIXED AT FIVE HUNDRED DOL
LARS, IN ASSAULT CASE.

| Inc nearing IN the case Vi a Illus a
Buck of Paris Hill, charged with assaSl
with intent to kill upon his wife
Marietta Buck, was held in the Norwa
Municipal Court on Thursday, havin
been continued from the previous weel
to allow Mrs. Buck to recover sufficient
~ to appear as witness. County Attor
ney Charles P. Barnes appeared for tn
state; Hon. James S. Wright for thu
respondent.
The witnesses examined for the stat
were Mrs. Buck, Solomon c. Buck, ;
brother of the respondent, DIR. Wood
bury, who dressed the wound, and Jailel
Farrar, who made the arrest.
| The details of the affair were very
fully gone into by County Attorney
Barnes. There is no material variance
in the stories told by the witnesses, and
the facts may be briefly summed up as
follows:
Amos A. Buck and his wife, with one
child, boy of six years, have been liv.
ing for few months at the farm OF
Orange Small, about two miles north.
east of Paris Hill. About two weeks
since Mrs. Buck took the boy and went
to the home of Mrs. Mary c. Buck,
mother of Amos Buck, on Paris Hill.
Buck came there to see her several
times during the next few days, urging
her to go back, but she refused.
Late in the afternoon of Thursday,
May 18th, Buck appeared, somewhat UNI
der the influence of liquor, and asked
her if she was going home. She said
she was not. The conversation between
them was continued for some time.
First they went out and sat in front of
the house for while. Then she walk
ed down the street few rods, and he
followed her. They came back and sat
down just outside the stable door. Here,
in answer to Bucks question, Mrs. Buck
told him that she was never going back
to him, whereupon he picked up an axe
which stood inside the stable door and
struck her over the head with the poll
of it. She screamed and grasped the
handle of the axe with her hands. Solo
mon Buck ran out of the house and
seized Amos by the shoulders, and Mrs.
Buck let 60 the axe and went into the
house.
The evidence was that neither at the
time of striking the blow nor before did
Buck say anything in the nature of a
threat.
The cut on Mrs. Bucks head was
about two inches in length, down to the
bone, but the skull was not injured, and
DR.. Woodbury. stated that the wound
was not dangerous one.
Buck left Immediately after the affair,
but returned later in the evening, and
was arrested the next day.
No testimony for the defence was in
troduced. Buck had already stated,
and repeated the statement, that he had
no recollection of striking her.
Counsel made no arguments, Mr..
Wright simply asking that bail should
not be fixed at a large sum, on the
ground that the intent to kill was not
shown by the evidence, while Mr..
Barnes asked that the amount should be
large enough so that the county could
know where the respondent was.
Judge Davis then bound Buck over to
the October term of Supreme Judicial
Court, fixing the bail at $500. Buck has
not yet secured bail.

rR1UMpHs OF MODERN SURGERY

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturatiOn and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an anti

DOCTOR FINDS RACE SUICIDE
PittsburR's City Physician Makes Re-
port showing LOwIy
Rate of Births.

PITTSBURG, Sept "a table of the
births and deaths in Pttsburg during the
past fourteen years prepared by City Ply
sician DR.. B. A. Booth for the bureau Of
health, shows a startling decrease in the
number Of births, notwithstanding a large
in crease I'm population
In 1891 there were 1857 births, the rate
per 1000 being 86l In the same year
there were 5,sS2 deaths. the rate per 900
being 1851. The table is complete to the
end of 1904. which shows a decrease in
the birth rate to 1.76. more than Z per
cent The death rate is decreased from
2S.61 to 1870 from 1891 to 1904
The figures for the first rntee months Of
this year are surprising. In 1891 the ex-
cess of births over deaths was 1,235 The
figures for this year indicate that the ex-
cess Of births has been wiped out and the
conditions are reversed, there being a de-
crease Of twenty-three births over the
death rate.
Commenting upon the report DR.. Booth
said:
The figures show that race suicide is a
fact and l think more so in Pittsburg
than any Of the larger cities of the coun-
try. There is also another feature. At the
80 per cent more babies than they did ten
years ago. The advance made in science
mas reduced the loss of cases to the mini
mum. Taking this into consideration to-
gether with the Increase in population and
such a decided decrease in The birth rate
Il shows that something is radically wrong.

MURDER MYSTERY DEEPENS
Autopsy shows that New York Editor
Was Killed with Blunt
Instrument.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-A mystery Of un-
usual proportions was today developed in
the circumstances surrounding the death
Of Jacob II. Thompson, for the last forty
years an editor on the New York Times.
by positive evidence that he was murdered
on the night Of September : By a brutal
clubbing in a prominent hotel situated in
one OF the busiest residence and business
sections OF New York city This fact was
disclosed today by the coroner's autopsy.
This examination showed that Mr.
Thompson had been struck over the head
at least a dozen times with a blunt instru-
ment and had been strangled as we'll No
one has been found who admits having
the slightest knowledge OF what transpired
In the editors room in the ST. James hotel
at l09 West Forty-ffth street from the
time he entered It early Thursday evening
until he was found about 8 o'clock yester-
day morning by a chambemaid who told
the coroner that she saw him half sitting
and making convulsive movements with his
hands He was then fully dressed and
Was wearing riding boots. An unfinished
letter was lying on his desk as n the
writer had Just laid down his pen
