Hyomei Cures Catarrh in Natural and
Rational Way.

No dangerous drugs or alcoholic
connections are taken into the system
when Hyomei is used in the treat
ment of catarrh. Breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, the balsamic heal
ing of Hyomei penetrates to the most
remote cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
healing the irritated mucous mem
brane and effecting a complete and
permanent cure.
In a natural and rational way, by
indicating the air you breathe with
Hyomei, every breath will be healing
and antiseptic, like the air found on
the mountains, where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing
balsams.
No medicine taken into the stomach
can possibly reach the remote cells
of the air passages, or give the imme-
diate relief that follows the use of
Hyomei. A few days. treatment is
usually all that is necessary to show
how quickly this remedy will cure
catarrh. 5.... ..=.. l. ...=.
So successful has Hyomei been in
the cure of catarrh among his Gus
toners, that Anders Jacobsen sells
it under positive guarantee that it
costs nothing unless it gives satisfac.
ton The complete outfit sells for
one dollar, while extra bottles can be
obtained for so cents.

"PELE,S HAIR"
A Product of the Gigantic Hawaiian
Volcano Mama Loa.

Volcano Mamma LOa.
Mauna Loa, the gigantic Hawaiian
volcano, has two craters or openings,
one of which, Kilauea, is the largest
active volcanic crater in the world
The mountain is II, 100 feet high and
Kilauea is situated on the eastern side
about 1000 feet above the level of the
sea. This marvellous crater is really
vast lake Of boiling lava which rises
and falls continually by the action of
subterranean fires. In tossing to and
fro like a troubled sea of molten
metal the lava is dashed against the
cliffs and hardens there in the form of
long CLASSY flaments, gigantic knobs,
miniature trees and in imitation Of
grass, leaves, etc.
Another form Of CLASSY filament to be
found along the shores Of this fiery lake
Is in the shape Of queer punches and
tufts of lava made up of an aggre-
CATION Of vitreous threads which the
natives call "Pele's hair" Pele being
the goddess to whom the mountain
Is dedicated. These CLASSY threads
appear to be caused by the passage
of steam through the molten lava.
In so doing small particles in the
shape of bubble-like balloons are
thrown into the air, leaving tail be-
hind like comet. When the scene Of
these miniature steam eruptions Is near
a rock or shore all solid and cool sur
faces are found covered with punches
of "Pele's hair This ''hair" was for

SHALL The
CRAFTERS ESCAPE?

That there was from 80 to so per
cent. of graft in the $9,00O0o0 "ex-
tras" for the capitol is charged by
State Treasurer Berry. But if the
people failed to elect the anti-gang
candidates for state, offices AMI the
state legislature there would be a
poor chance of finding out WHO got
1t" or of bringing deserved punish
ment upon the guilty. In that case,
despite all that Berry has already done
in the matter, he would be "up
against" the same hard proposition
that he coilided against the other day
when Governor Pennypackcr, head of,
and Auditor General Snyder, member
OF the board of public grounds and
buildings, of which the State Treas
urer also is a member, refused point
blank to answer any of Berrys prob
ing questions
Mr.. Berry. therefore, must go around
alone, finding out things for himself,
just as he discovered the cheat in the
cement pavement, or the charge per
cubic foot for the air in the telephone
booth, making it cost $500. This
booth, Berry says, looks like mahog-
any, but 1t is made of Steel and Is
about six feet square and eight feet
high, and was paid for at $11 per cubic
foot, air and all. Berry has found also
that some Of the ceilings have gold
strips around raised portions, and this
strip, a very narrow thing, was paid
for "by the foot" so as to count in as
gold the enclosed space which has no
gilt. All such probing in the future,

A JUDICIAL MIX-UP.
Wilkes-Barre News, oct. II.

Wilkes-Barre News, oct. Il.
Down in the Columbia Montour
judicial district bitter fight is being
waged by rival Democratic claimants
for judicial honors. This is the dis
trict where the state leaders wanted
John M. Garman of this city to enter
as a peace maker. But Mr.. Garman
heard the firing and decided that
where there was war no peace exist
ed.
Former Revenue Collector Herring
is one of the candidates and John G.
Harman the other. There is also a
Republican candidate and through the
mean breach in the Democratic party
he will likely be elected. 1t is inter
esting to note, however, that the
ambition of Grant Herring to secure
a position for which many believe he
is for very potent reasons untitled has
succeeded for the second time in a
few years in disrupting the Demo-
cratic party there. AS far as Herring
is concerned his love for party is quite
uncertain when other considerations
are in sight. Those who know him best
are not surprised, though some may
be deceived by his pretensions. We
would pass Herring by with that in
difference his cause deserves were he
not candidate for an office which if
he is successful will make him eligible
to hold court here. People haye a
right to be careful about the kind OF
men who go on the bench, as there is
supposed to be special dignity at
tached to the position which makes
the occupants almost sacred.

Danville intelligencer. [volume] (Danville, Pa.) 1859-1907, 1906-10-26

At the Democratic primary
election Grant Herring carried
Montour county, John G. Har-
man carried Columbia county,
thus giving each two conferrees.
The same conferrees met in
conference q number of times
without any result, each set of
conferrees voting as per their in
structions.
Seeing there was no possibility
of nomination the conference
was adjourned without day.
The case, after due notice to all
the parties concerned, including
the county chairman of each
county, was submitted to the
Democratic state executive COM
mittee, composed of five leading
Democrats, selected from differ
ent parts of the state, as has been
the custom for many years-thus
settling all questions within the
party.
AT this session each party filed
his claims, giving the vote for
each candidate cast at the prima-
ries.
The committee, after hearing
all the facts, took the papers as
filed by each, and after full con-
sideration and finding that Mr..
Harman had received majority
of all the votes cast in the two
counties, declared unanimously in
favor of Mr.. Harman.
This is the correct situation as
it stands today.
Mr.. Herring then appealed to
a Republican court on technicali-
ties and said court decided that
the executive committee had no
power to say which should go on
the ticket.
Now, we are of the opinion that
Mr.. Herring's action In this mat
ter was not honorable in going
into said executive committee,
submitting his case, then when
the result was adverse to him, ac-
cording to Democratic custom,
going into the Republican court,
whose every interest would be
enhanced by declaring the COM
mittee without power.
We believe the Democratic
party should settle questions, as
to their nominations, within the
party and without opening the
door to the opposition to say what
shall be done. The committees
have exercised this privilege with
in the party for many years, and
to open the door to outsiders to
settle our affairs WAS NOT
DEMOCRATIC, and should be
frowned down by all who have
the interest of our party at
heart.
