NOW IS THE TIME FOR HYoME,.
Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now than
at Any Other Season.

Now is the time to use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make it SO easy
to cure catarrhal troubles. The Hyo-
mel treatment, breathed for few min
utes three or four times Il day in Nav
or June, will do good twice as quickly
as it did i'm January, and nearly every
one knows that used faithfully then. if
completely rids the system of catarrh.
The complete HyoInei outfit costs
but one dollar and consists of a neat
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest pocket and will last 4 lifetime,
a medicine dropper. and bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles OF Hyomei
can be procured, If desired, for fifty
cents.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means give their personal guarantee
with every Hyomei outfit they sell to
refund the money If it does not give
satisfaction. There is TO risk what
ever to the purchaser of Hyonei.

Augusta came near becoming the
scene of a disaster i'm shipping circles,
yesterday noon, on the occasion of the
arrival of the schooner James Young,
Capt. Barter. with Il cargo of chestnut
and stove coal for the PurintOn Bros
The Young is a two master. but a deep
draught vessel. and when she came up
the river, yesterday, in tow of the tug
Perry. she was drawing IA feet Of wa
ter. She was in toward the shore pref
ty well. and just below the Purinton
wharf she touched on shoal which
makes out at that point. Instead of
swinging out, the schooner swung in,
and butted into the south end of the
wharf but as she was just moving at
the time, she did no damage to herself
or to the wharf. The tug soon pulled
her out of the mud. but as she moved
forward she came near crushing Chas.
H. O'Briens naphtha launch. which
was moored at that point. The launch
was saved from injury. but it was Il
close shave, all round.

The Ameralla Texas, Herald has this
to sag of Capt. Bartlett who will give a
free exhibition of fancy rifle and shot
gun shooting at the Driving park.
July 10: Capt George E. Bartlett. the
marvellous marksman gave fine exhi-
itiOn in Amarillo yesterday afternoon.
Captain Bartlett is Il promoter of
shooting, and is employed by Hibba:f.
Spencer, Bartlett & Co, of Chicago,
and The Peters Cartridge Co. of Gin
cinnati. Ohio, to visit gun clubs and
show the shooters what can be done
with first-class ammunition. and he
certainly fills the bill. Although there
was a high wind. he shot oil manner Of
ways and demonstrated fully the many
superior points of Peters cartridges,
both with shotgun and different Calibrc
rifles. His Introductory shots were
made with a 1920 rifle. With this
life the captain made dust of pieces of
brick thrown high in the air. Their
came the great test of high velocity
and excessive penetration. Four pieces
of 4 inch boiler plate steel. 21a inches
square. were thrown in the air and
promptly punctured, the cartridge be

any 1870 rifle perfectly and are loaded
with 20 grains of special sporting mill
tary SmOkeless powder, made especially
for this cartridge and they have We
ioCity OF 1000 feet per second. With a
Stevens Ideal rife 1920 he did some
pretty work at looking glass shooting
breaking small Iieces of brick by re-
fiections of a small pocket mirror and
holding the rifle in all manner of posi-
TONS and angles. With a 22-calibre
| rifle he shot small pieces of brick about
the size of walnut that were thrown
IN the air in rapid succession. He shot
200 snots out Of this rifle without
cieaning the gun and then in
Nited the crowd to look through
the barrel and see the clean

The appointment of Herr Van Swim
deren will take from Washington one
Of the most popular members of the dip
lomatic family.
Herr Van Swinderen. after his advent
in Washington, began his career here
by marrying one Of the leaders of Wash

prominent part in social doings. In the

part.
The minister is small in stature, but Is
considered u man of great talent. and
his friends here feel sure that he will
ably ill the post Of minister of foreign

yesterday afternoon by J. a. Ayres,

It was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
and Mr.. Ayres was proceeding about his
work uneoncerned. whistling a bar or
two OF the Good Old Summer Time,
and pulling down the boards that form
ed . sort of pantry with some half
dozen shelves. when just as the top
shelf gave way, down came on his head
a human hand covered with about mil
lion of black ants. Before Mr., Ayres
could recover from his surprise, and
brush the ants from his head. several
human bones ana the upper part Of
skull fell sith a crash. Mr. Ayres did
not run nor make an outcry. He picked @
up the skull and bones and put them
on mantle piece. and then threw the
hand into the yard where later he
freed il from the black ants.

to a Times reporter, in telling of his ez-

which came from the discovery of the

it makes me sick to think of 1t.
After brushing the ants from the

SECRECY PREVAILS
IN COTTON MATTER

HYDE NOT HURRYlNG HOME
Wilson, However, Confident His Sta

Grand Jury Proceedings.
HYDE NOT HURRYlNG HOME

Secrecy prevails in the Investigations
Low being made into the affairs Of the
different bureaus of the Department of
Agriculture
That Secretary Wilson is following u
plan outlined by Attorney General
Moody and District Attorney Beach in
using the censor method in giving out
information regarding the investigations
he is personally conducting, is plainly
evident, but whether the action is based
upon the recommendation of the De-
partment OF Justice or the Secretary 5
own Judgment cannot be asccrtuinetI.
1t was understood today that the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry and the
Weather Bureaus summer annex" at
Blue mont. Va, is undergoing a most
rigid Investigation By agents of the Sc
cret Service but whether the report of
such Investigations, which VIII be in the
hands of the Secretary IN a day OF two,
VIII be made public, is a question that
the Secretary viii not definitely answer.

1t the department as We'll as by Ir1GnIS
of the former StaUstCian that Mr.. Hyoe
will not return from Europe as soon as
was indicated in the cablegram recently
received by Secretary Wilson from
Hyde,
il is claimed that Mr.. Hyde's mental
ard nervous condition IS sueh Jhat the
severe strain Of appearing before the
grand Jury as witness would cause MS
complete breakdown, and his TrlenQs
have, il Is said, advised him TO remain
abroad for an indefinite period
