The lawn fete given last Thursday
evening by the Epworth League, on
the vacant lot between the stores of
NJ. Hamman & Son and Julian Brown,
was pronounced by many who attend
ed to be the most enjoyable social
event, for the benefit of either reIig
ious or fcaternai organizations, In the
history of the city. 1t was, in some
respects, more like carnival than a
lawn fete, and the first affair OF the
kind ever given here. Though not as
large as some other social events in
the past, 1t was more attractive and
comprehensive in detail for it's size.
Pleasantly surprised and delightfully."-
entertained were those who attended.
and highly gratified were the Lesguers
over Its results. In every respect it
was a decided success.
One of the happy features was the
short time occupied in preparing for
the fete, halt hundred or more Leag-
urers working together hsrmoniously
and preparing their costumes, various
booths and other features Just a few
days before the event. Nearly all mem
bers of the League who took part were
costumed, this being feature which
was very pleasing and which helped
largely to draw the crowd. The cos
tunes were all faithful in the repre-
sentation of the various nationalities
present and, under the brilliant illum-
lnation of scores of japanese lanterns
and a locomotive headlight, they
made pretty and gay scene. Flags
and bunting on the various booths
added to the beauty of the spectacle,
Cream, cakes, cold drinks and other
refreshments were served at the

Remarkable Cow Dead.

Regarding the death of remark
able COW owned by Mrs. Frank Fades,
who formerly resided in this city and
is we'll known here, Sundays Owens
boro Inquirer says, in part:
Mrs. Franz Fades is disconsolate
for the loss of her COW, Rose, and we'll
she may be. The animal was looked
upon as almost a member Of the tam
lily, and when she died Saturday her
owner shed tears of genuine sorrow
Rose was torn In May, 1888. In
May, 1885, twenty years ago, she had
her first calf. Since that time she had
oeen dry six weeks 1t IS ca lculated
that in that time she gave II, $50 gal
Ions of milk and made 6, 240 pounds Of
butter. Counting the milk as skimm-
ed milk and buttermilk, 1t was worth
81, 725 and at the price that Dutter
has averaged for many years 1t was
worth 81, $50, a total of 50, 2S5. Her
last calf was born in 1900, and she
has been giving milk constantly since
that time She was MIXED Friday
evening and seemed to be il parfect
health, as she was In fine condition.
Her death was certainly the result
OF old age.

Cures Without Stomach Dosing.
Hyomel Cures Catsrrh by Simple
Breathing. Short & Haynes Refund
Money II II Fails To Cure.

A long stride toward solving the
mystery OF. curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact,
the percentage of cures by this treat
ment proves it equal to the final test.
The folly OF taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose,
throat and lungs, has been realized by
physicians, but not until Hyomei was
known, had they a practical method
that would obviate stomach dragging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists of neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere with
out attracting attention, a medicine
dropper and a bottle Of Hyomei. Ex-
ira bottles of Hyomei cost but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
hsler, every particle of air that enters
the pose, throat and lungs, is charged
with healing balsam that soothes and
allays all irritation, kills the catarrhal
germs and enriches the blood with ad-
ditional ozone.
Short & Haynes have so much faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that they are selling it under their per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money If
it does not give positive relief.

SECOND RAILROAD
FOR CL0VERP0RT.
Right of Way For Proposed Line
From MadiSOnyiIle Secured and
Work Will Begin This Summer.

Sundays Courier-Journal con-
tanned a special dispatch from
jacksonville which read as follows:
"The right of way of the new
proposed railroad between this city
and Cloyerport, was secured to-
day through Hopkins county to
Pond river. President II. ii.
Holeman and others of the Com
mercial Club went over the entire
distance in vehicles and signed
every inch of ground needed in
this county. The right of way
through Muhlenberg and Brecken-
ridge counties has been secured.
thereby assuring the road. Bonds
will be issued at once for the con-
struction. which will begin this
summer.
The first mention of the prOpos-
ed railroad from jacksonville to
Cloverport in the News was not
made until last week. The move
ment to build the road has been
pushed almost entirely at the
jacksonville end of the line and
the people of this county have
not been interested in the project
until very recently. From what
can be learned from various sour
ces the railroad seems to be a GER
tainty. A railroad like the one
proposed would open up one OF
the richest and most extensive
coal and timber belts in the State
and would be of incalculable bene-
tit to Cloverport.
As far as is known here the
right of way in Breckenridge
county has not been secured. II
is thought that the route by
which the proposed road will come
will be over the old short line roac
bed from Victoria, as it and also
the old pier into the Ohio river
could be pro6tably utilized. j.
A. Barry, local agent of the
Breckenridge C,nnel Coal COM
pany, says that the right of way
over this road bed has not been
secured through him as agent, but
may have been through the cen
trail Office of his company.
