CASE 70 Be TRIED row
Strong DsfsnSs Il Liksly To b Of
Isred for KsnEy Nist. :,

The case Of Henry Hirt who 10 to
Be tried for the murder Of Herman
DuvAl Of HeringtOn will DO tried At
this term Of court. Mrs.. Dnval has
been iii but 10 somewhat improved
and II was decided today to set the
hearing for the gath.
Hirt has retained Hurd & Hurd and
will make strong defense, probably
on the ground that be was attacked
first.
The Herington papers report the
facts Of the murder thus: Mr.. Duval
in company with bis wife and his
brother. Conductor Duval, were re-
turning from church. At the spot
stated they met Henry Hirt. As
Hirt attempted to pass them he ran
against Duval, either wiliully or acci-
dsntally. Statements differ here as
to whether any, words passed between
Hirt and either Of the party.) At any
rate Duval struck Hirt with the heavy
lantern he was carrying, and, so HIT
says, kicked him in the groin. Hirt
then drew q revolver and shot Duval
through the lungs and heart. Mar
shall Dairy and Clark Ware were with
in few feet at the time Of the shoot
ing but did not realize anything was
wrong until too late. They were on
the spot in moment. The revolver
was taken from Hirt, who made no
attempt to escape, and the wounded
man was taken to the Avondale where
be died In . few moments. Hirt was
taken in charge by the officials, being
first taken into q room In the Avon.
dale and aiterward spirited out the
back way and taken to the city Jail.
There is also q story that Hirt saw
only one person with Duval and ran
into the party by mistrke and was
struck before he could apologize. He
is the son Of . farmer living near
and had been In Herring
ton only . week or two. He comes
from family bearing the highest
and has never had any
trouble before.

KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH.
Hyomsi Goes to tho Root Of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Hyomei Goes to the Root Of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured BY the use
Of pills, liquid msdicines and so-cslled
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the diseare will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh, Kill
ing the germs in the air passages, y
enters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
effectually drives from the system all
traces Of catarrhal poison.
Thousands Of testimonials have
been given as to the astonishing cures
made BY this remedy.
Mrs. LIE Rendu, rs Western Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: al believe
Hyomei saved my life. ! am better
now than have been in thirty years.
Many doctors, both in England and
France, treated me for Catarrh, but l
was not cured until l used Hycmei."
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers Of
Hyomei to cure Catarrh isthe fact
that J. M. Cleissnsr will agree to re-
fund the money il you say HyOmei
has mot cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but t1.OO, consisting Of an inhaler
droppsr and sufficient HyOmei to last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
dsep-seated cases Of catarrh. longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
bottles Of HyOmei can be obtained
for 500.

GET RID OF THE BOSSES
SAYS GOV. LAFOLLETTE

"Try to deal with the American
Book Co. here in your Ohio legisla-
ture," he said, "and you'll End the
railroad lobbyists there, and the polit-
ical machine, too, to help them out,
because they all have the same owner
ship"
Then Fighting Bob" went after
John d. Rockefeller, who he said went
to prayer meeting last week, but was
responsible more than any other one
man for that form of commercial de-
velopment which sailed under the
black flag, and taught Vanderbilt how
to use the rebate. ap
While he didn't mention Gov. Her
rick's name, he referred to the Repub-
lican national committee, of which
Herrick was a member; said there
were more senators on that committee
and ''some governors" and ventured
the assertion that not single member
of that committee had paid his rail-
road fare to Chicago, because all of
them rode on passes given by the rail-
roads.
In conclusion he urged Ohioans to
vote for country rather than for any
party and to do good job of house
cleaning and get rid Of the machine
bosses and corporation lobbyists. At
the conclusion of the meeting the Re
publicans flocked to the platform and
overwhelmed La Toilette with con-
gratulations.

A striking illustration of the method
of administering justice in Santo Do
mingo is afforded by the action taken
by the authorities in an alleged case
of smuggling which recently occurred
at Puerto Plata. Delio Hernandez,
commandant of the port of Puerto Pla-
ia, was the person charged with in
PRODUCING large quantities of contra
band goods. He was betrayed by a
captain of the vessel used in the Illicit
trade and chief of customs Strickland
caused the arrest of Hernandez. Her.
nandez, through friend, sent threat
ening letters to Strickland, saying he
would shoot the latter if he appeared
against him, and fearing the result of
such threats Strickland refused to
press the complaint, and the captain
made a statement in which he said
that he had lied when he charged Her.
nandez with smuggling, declaring that
he had lodged the complaint in the
heat of temper after quarreling with
Hernandez. After these statements the
case was thrown out of court, and Her
nandez was set free.

JEROME ON POLITICS.

That some in public Office must
choose between termination Of their
careers or subserviency to political
bosses, but that he will not be one of
them, is the keynote of declaration
by William Travers Jerome, announc-
ing his candidacy for another term as
district attorney of New York county
upon nomination by petition. The
district attorney declares that he does
not propose to DOW 10 any organiza-
with any group of politicians and that
he belongs to and owes allegiance
to no political party. He says that he
has served honestly and efficiently"
as district attorney; that If he has
made mistakes it has not been his
fault as "a man can insure his integ-
rity but not the infallibility of his
judgment" Continuing, the district at
torney says:
1T seems to me that one of the
greatest evils of the present time is
that small groups of men have and
not infrequently single man has OBJ
tanned control of the executive ma
chinery of party organizations and
nominating conventions and stood be-
tween public service and the voters.
The result is that one in public Of
fee usually has to choose between a
termination of his public career or
every subserviency to such man, or
group of men. The public officer, as
a consequence, frequently feels NO re-
sponsibility to the people, but only to
those who can obtain for him a return
to Office or future promotion.
"In the exercise Of this power on
such men and groups of men they are
wholly selfish, almost entirely ire
sponsible and not infrequently corrupt.
"A man who works with such a
group and receives favors from their
hands comes under implicit obliga-
tions which cannot honorably be dis
charged. He cannot take Office by
their favor and still be free to deal
with them and their demands as his
oath of Office requires.
These statements have frequently
made in public as to the duties OF a
citizen. and still believe to be true.
and am determined to act III accord
ance with them"
