Socialists and Adherents of the Coali-
ton Parties C1ash-Forty Persons
Misunderstanding Against the Dy-
asty is Increasing.

Budapest, Hungary, September 81
Between forty and fifty persons were
injured in riots here this evening,
when socialists and adherents OF the
coalition parties, including students,
FLASHED opposite the Royal Hotel and
for two hours there were scenes OF
tremendous excitement. The Roya.
Hotel is the headquarters of the In
dependence Club. in which is the coun-
Gil room Of the coalition leaders.
The students and other supporters
Of the coalition had arranged for a
gigantic torchlignt parade tonight. but
during the day the socialists issued n
f1ammatory proclamations calling on
all socialists and others opposed to
the coalition to gather and fight for
their rights, which they said the coali-
ton was trying to side track, under
cover of an alleged affront by the
King Emperor to the whole nation.
Owing to these proclamations, The
coalition leaders decided to postpone
the torchlight procession, seeking thus
to avoid ~bloodshed. At s O'Clock about
1000 socialists gathered outside tn
Independence Club, and announced
their intention of entering and tear
ing down the council room. A large
force Of police was present and was
assisted by $50 prominent citizens.
The mob made an effort to enter,
but was vigorously opposed by the
police. A fight ensued and amid the
widest clamor a number of persons
were stabbed, but the socialists were
finally scattered. Fifteen minutes lat
er, however, the socialists again gath
cred. By this time adherents Of the
coalition. in large numbers, appeared
upon the scene, and their appearance
resulted in a free fight between the
two masses Of humanity which surgeu
in every direction, shouting and sing
ing the Marseillaise and other songs.
Knives, sticks and. stones were used
vigorously.
It is reported that over forty per-
sons were wounded, eight of them Sc
riously. There were no deaths. Scat
tered fights continued in different quar-
ters. and a section of the socialists
marched to a building in which is puD-
lished a newspaper that supports the
coalition. where they broke the win
dows and attempted to gain an n
trance. The mob was held back by the
police, while the printers and editors
threw furniture from the windows on
the heads of the crowd. Here, too, a
number of persons received wounds.
Finally quiet was restored and up to
10 o'clock there was no renewal Of the
disorders.
1t is not thought the rioting of to-
night will have any effect on the gen
eral situation which certainly has
grown worse, while the feeling
throughout Hungary against the dy-
nasty is increasing. The crisis IN
doubtedly is a serious one.

He will also find social philosophers

thirteen defendants.
An interesting case tried was against
Bud Cain. who was charged with ar
ceny of SO from Jim ~Strudwick. a
blind negro. The prisoner was posi-
lively identified by the blind man.
There was considerable corroberative
evidence and the Cain negro was
bound owe under bond of $50. which
he could not rive n was committed
to Jail.
Sunday Bud Cain went to Strud-
wick and asked him If he could change
SIS. Strudwick said he had but four
dollars in change and Cain asked him
to let him have the four dollars n
he could keep the SIS until the next
time they met. Cain said he had to
have some change at once. Strudwick
pulled 50 from his pocket. four dol
lars in change and a SIS bill. and it was
then that Bud Cain grabbed the money
and made off.
In cour Yesterday morning Strud-
wick was given a test at Identification
by sound Of voice. Each time he was
tried ne showed that he knew what
he was talking about. He picked Bud
Cain from other speakers by the sound

4 Psalm of Farm Life.

Tell me not In broken measures
Modern farming doe not pay
For a farm produces chickens,
And the hens-do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price Is soaring fast:
Every time we get to market
It is higher than the last
Not a coop but IL produces
Every day an egg or two.
So each farmer gains his millions.
Even though the hens De few.
Every egg Is very precious.
And the hen are held In awe.
When a hen begins to cackIe.
Then the farmer goes "Haw. haw."
In the broad and busy farmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd. bewhfskered farmer
Only notices b hen
Trust no rooster. howe'er snowy
Be the feathers In his tall;
Pay attention TO the biddies.
And your wealth win fan.
Lives OF farmers all remind us
We may roll In wealth some day
II we hustle TO the market
With the egg1 our pullets lay.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
One Weeks Use of HyOmei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment by
Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh, Hyomei
acts almost Immediately upon the in
famed membrane and the hearing be-
gins to return at once. A few days
treatment will bring relief, and in
three or four weeks, according to the
severity of the case, q cure will be ac-
complished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, n. Y,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful. I
have used it but a short time and see
a great change in my condition. My
hearing is improving rapidly, and I
had no idea | would improve so rapid
" in so short a time. My breath which
was very offensive to myself and 9th
ers has lost it's bad odor entirely. /
have spent a great deal of money with
catarrh specialists, and can truly say
that six months Of their treatment is
not equal to one month of Hyomei."
r. r. Bellamy is selling Hyomei
upon the unusual plan Of agreeing to
refund the money if the medicine does
not cure.
A complete outfit costs only S1.OO,
and consists of an inhaler that a be
carried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle Of Hyomei. TIE
inhaler will last a lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles Of Hy-
omei a be procured for so cents.
Compare this small expense with the
fees charged by specialists, and then
remember that if Hyomei does not
cure, r. r. Bellamy will return your
money.

and catarrhal colds is sold in this way?
