cURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Red Cross Pharmacy Say HyOmej WIN Give
Relief Sold Under Guarantee.

Red Cross Pharmacy Say Hyomei WIN Give
Relief Sold Under Guarantee.
The season for hay fever is almost
at hand, and many people feel that
they will be obliged to go away In or
der to avoid the sneezing, watery
eyes, and other annoying symptoms of
this disagreeable summer disease.
Red Cross Pharmacy wishes us to
announce that when Hyomei is used
as preventive, or cure, there will
be NJ hay fever. They advise daily
treatment with Hyomei for two or
three weeks before the usual time for
the annual appearance Of hay fever.
If this is done, the attack will be pre-
vented. However, If the preventive
treatment Is not started soon enough,
and the disease makes its appearance,
use Hyomei six or seven times daily,
and relief will be given at once.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. Breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, its medicated air
reaches the minutest air cells, killing
all germs and soothing and healing
the irritated mucous membrane.
The complete HYomei outfit costs
but 81, extra bottles so cents. 1t is
the only treatment for hay fever sold
by Red Cross Pharmacy under a guar
antee to refund the money If it does
not give satisfaction.

most fiours-the Sunshine, made

hand and fire is kindled in which a
long wire is heated to be used in
touching off "the battery"
The aids place the men. They kneel
in the high grass and hold their guns
silently. The gunners are getting
ready for action. Behind the gun
stands Maj. T. G.. Dabney, prominent
as a leading levee authority and en-.
gineer. He looks at his task as though
it were real instead of mimic warfare.
COMMENCE FIGHTING.
Ia, ia, ta-ta-ta! Ia, ia, ia, ta-ta-tal
The little, quick bugle call, Com
mence firing" comes swapping over
the field.
The column under Capt. Morton is
advancing, kneeling and firing. The
attacked line.and the battery are sl-
lent, On up the field comes the snap
ping, and popping, sputteriny line.
A hazy smoke overhangs the line and
marks its coming.
"Flre!" commands Maj. Dabney.
The battery turns loose its pent-up
havoc and the reverbration shakes the
field.
The line of men stretching out from
the sides Of the battery are still silent.
The leaders caution the men to wait
for the order to fire. On comes the
opposing line.
Up to close range comes the Morton
line. The defending force hears the
order to open fire and there comes a
rattle of musketry. 1t opens with
one shot, then half dozen follow and
then the sound resembles a pack of
fire crackers all set loose at the same
moment. The big gun Aooms at in
tervals.
The bugle sounds again. The at
tacking force is retreating. Back
across the field it is driven, slowly and
In good order. The line is reformed
and the attack comes again. The
line sways, advances and retires.
Then comes the charge. The bugle
begins to tell the inspiring story Of
a rush for the gun. The rebel yell
is heard in the land and the
faces Of the old men light up with
new fire. They get young again. A
little man is mouse-colored jacket,
kneels and takes as careful aim at the
charging line as though he had a
squirrel in tree.
On over the gun swarms the charg-
ing soldiers. Guns are firing at close
range. Hand TO hand conflict has
succeeded the regular firing.
Capt. w. A. Collier, a scabbard
swung over his shoulder, marches at
the head of the line and takes his
place at the business end of the can
non. Mai. Dabney, pierced by high
ball from the hand of Capt. Collier,
falls prostrate at the side Of his gun

ECHOES FROM THE FOURTH

Wakes Warm Over Our Celebration
Whole Page in the NewsScimitar With Handsome Illus
trations Devoted to Union City and its Enterprise.
The thin gray line deployed as sklr-

The thin gray line deployed as Skin
mishers.
Across the field Of the Union City
fair grounds there came the snappy
far-reachlng call of the bugle OLD
fellows, who had seen much service
back in the old days before smokeless
powder, open order fighting and long
distance guns had come over the spir-
it of martial, dreams shouldered their
guns and formed line OF battle.
Behind them, as pictures taken
from the old fields, rode officers, lace.
bedecked and sitting heroicallyon their
steeds. A modern sharpshooter would
have picked one of them off mile
( away. Faded old uniforms had place
next to the ordinary clothing of the
period. White hair crowned heads
that had become young for the day.
At the head of the column was the
Confederate flag, strangely In contrast
with the ~. 81 that marked the
accoutrements of the men.
Over ia the grandstand and packing
the grounds to their utmost capacity
young people crowded one another to
see the martial array. Over them,
from the flag pole, tloated the stars
and stripes. Men, women and chill
dren had come for miles and miles to
spend the Fourth of July in Union
City and everything and everybody
bore signs OF the gala occasion.
Horses had little flags tucked in
their brides. Bits of gay ribbon gave
relief TO Summer whiteness of femi-
nine array. A brisk breeze swept over
the broad field and took the edge off
the rays of the July sun.
AN INSPIRING SCENE.
The band is playing light and airy
things. Popcorn and lemonade are
active In the market.
The first line Of soldiers, command
ed by Capt. John w Morton, who led
the artillery of Gen. Forrest over the
Southern fields, has taken Its place In
the high grass. Only the heads Of
the men are visible. The officers,
still mounted on their horses, loom up
over the suggestion of a line. Cour-
iers are flying over the field, giving
appearance of realty to the opera
tions.
At the other end OF the ground an
other line has formed. Old men un-
der the command of a young one, are
getting ready to receive the attack.
Gen. Harvey Hannah, adjutant gener-
al of Tennessee, clad in the regulation
khaki of the army, sits on big sorrel
and directs the deployment. But he
is of the present. He sends his horse
back and dismounts with the men.
An old gun, brought down from the
revolution, was wheeled rapidly into
place. No friction primers are at

of transportation were at hand and
one Of the enterprising Memphis peo-
pie got busy and found a carriage. 1t
was of the period of Louis Quinze and
was directed by an ancient darkey
over whose head the sun had rolled on
its daily pilgrimage for many spans
without bringing either evidences of
age or superior wisdom.
"Ilike fast horses, said Col. w. A.
Collier, "Let them out
The negro obeyed. The complain
ing vehicle groaned under the rapid
transit idea. In the distance another
vehicle appeared. There was no room
on the highway to pass. Both vehi-
cles ran into opposite bitches, lurching
the occupants in the darkness as
though the Twentieth Century limit
ed had teen wrecked.
Out Of the ditch with a broken
spring to add to the rheumatic car
riage's other troubles. came the party,
only to meet a second vehicle with
the same result. Only the high bank
on the side of the ditch kept the Yeli-
Gle from turning a somersault, A
third effort struck buggy and set At.
about as though it were the plaything
of a Kansas cyclone. The negro drove
on, undaunted by the experience,
BRIGHT PICTURE.
Out of the darkness and the diss
comfort of the ride, for which the fun
was ample compensation, dawned I'M
ion City, with her flags, her lights,
her music and her hospitality.
The road feature is injected, into
this narrative for the single purpose
Of pointing out an opportunity Men
who own adjoining property to high
way practice false economy when they
refuse to give enough land TO make
the roads broad enough for passing
vehicles. The one pressing and I'M
portant need of this immensely rich
region is system Of good roads. AS
a apublic asset the investment win pay
and as private resource the donation
of land enough to widen these high
ways will amply repay those who own
the land. For country that has so
much to which these roads can lead,
it is pity that they are not given
more attention.
The progressive thought Of the gar
den spot of Tennessee, for such this
strip assuredly is, is looking more and
more to the subject Of public roads.
The discussion is certain to result to
the profit of the section and of the
individuals.
SET AN EXAMPLE.
Larger places than Union City may
profit by the example of that enter
prising little city. Men who differed
in politics and in other relations, came
together for the day and forgot their
personal likes and dislikes In COM
mon effort to advance their city and
community before the outside world

BURNED TO DEATH IN CABIN.
Miner Leaves Candle Burning While
He Is Drunk.

Murray, Idaho, Aug. 15.-Patrick
Moran, an old-time placer miner. was
burned to death in his cabin near
here at an early hour this morning.
The building. which is located about
half mile east of here, was discov-
cred by neighbors to be on fire.
When they reached there the cabin
was a mass of flames and no assist
ance could be rendered the aged oc-
cupant. When the blaze died out the
charred body was found, burned be-
yond recognition. but It was identified
as that of Moran. He had been drink
ing last night, and when he went
home to sleep he is supposed to have
not extinguished his candle, which
was in Il candlcs;ck stuck in the
wall. The candle burned down and
ignited the paper on the wall and
soon the entire cabin was ablaze.
Moran was about 60 years of age
and had lived about here intermit-
tently for 20 years. He is said to
have been involved in extensive liti-
cation with the city of Helena for
number of years over the ownership
of valuable property. He lived in
Helena part of the time.
Coroner Keys came to Murray and
held an inquest, which found that
Moran was accidentally burned to
death.
