HyOmei Cures This Common and Disagreeable
Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the sim
pie method Of breathing it into the
air passages and lungs. II kills the
germs of the catarrhal poison, heals
and soOthes the irritated mucous
membrane enters the blood, with
the oxygen and kills the germs pres
ent there, effectually driving this
disease from the system.
II you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
branesof the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs.

He is better known and better liked now than ever before and the assault made upon his administra- ton is a rebuke to those who are as soclated with him and who are large ly responsible for the mfsdeeds of the past two years. rather than q slap at the mayor himself. Mir Elton meant to be fair, but he fell in with bad com pany. This must now be as plain to his honor as It is to others. He showed good foresight however, in getting off the head of the ticket and saving him. self from the fate of Mir Blakeslee, who was foolish enough to step into the breach and announce that if elected he would follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

The democrats had a parade in which large numbers participated. There was music, red fire and sufli- clent cheering to please the most en- thusiastic democrat in town. Tn fact it was hard to find anybody that was not delighted over the returns, so that nearly everybody joined in the merry making.
 With the exception of the comptrol- lership there were no close contests. For this office the present incumbent, A. I. Goodrich, lost to NJ. D. Russell by 27 votes.
 The democrats hold the board of education. In this sprinting match Thomas H. Hewitt fell to the rear, some say because he dared criticize some things which the present admin. istratlon has done.
 The republican managers are puzzled to know what became of what they supposed to be a normal republican majority in Waterbury. They got the boys out, supplied them with the right kind of tickets, gave them a ride to the polls. and supposed that everything was all right, but they must have been provided with the other tickets in ad- vance or snatched them from the booths on the way IT, Cor the returns prove that many of them availed them selves of the opportunity to swallow the whole democratic ticket. School Inspector Terrell, thinking his horse was not swift enough for that kind of business, left the animal in the stable and whirled about in an auto car. The voters must have been laughing in their sleeves at the idea of being hur- rled to the polls in this way by hard shell republican who hadn't the re-
