Harmful Stomach Dosing.
No Need of It When Hy0mei Is Used to
Cure Catarrh.

Do not try to cure catarrh of the head
by dosing the stomach. This is neither
common sense nor scientific, as the less
medicine one swallows the better.
To cure catarrhal troubles, breathe
the healing Hyomei and the medication
will 60 right to the spot where the
catarrhal germs are present, and free the
system from all catarrhal poison.
w. B. Eastman has seen so many cures
of catarrh made by Hyomei, some OF
them chronic cases, that he gives an
absolute guarantee of cure or money
will be refunded wit.z every outfit he
sells. The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but ST. while extra bottles of Hyomei if
needed are but SO cents.

Death of Mrs. Dow.

The death of Mrs. Amy A. R. Dow, of
Barton, who died November 4, in a
hospital in Montreal, brought deep
sorrow to her many friends. She had
been in Montreal for five weeks for a
surgical operation and medical treat
ment.
Miss Amy A. R. Nelson was born in
this town Oct. 10, 1S41, where she
spent most of her girlhood. She was
educated in the common schools and at
the Lyndon academy. She married ]. E..
Dow, Nov. 20, 1866, whom she has sur
vived since May 81, 1891. For about
ten years she has lived with Mrs. B. M.
r. Nelson, in Barton. Mrs Dow was
baptised in Lyndon and joined the
Methodist church when a young lady,
where her name has always remained.
She was a most remarkable woman,
gentle, kind modest, cheerful, intelligent,
conscientiously ready to help wherever
she was needed, and the best of company.
For the last year she has been in frail
health, gradually failing, but bravely
decided upon her course of action and
trustfully accepted her chances of living,
knowing the danger she was to incur in
the operation. She leaves her brother
and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Nelson,
her sister, Mrs. B. M. R. Nelson, besides
more distant relatives and a large circle
of friends. The obsequies were held from
her late home at Mrs. Nelson's last week
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. W. A. Warner,
officiating. The remains were taken to
Minneapolis, MINI, for interment beside
her husband and only son, her brother
and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Nelson,
accompanying them.

HOW LONG CAN 1T LAST
The Uppermost Question Regarding
the Russian Situation.


st. Petersburg, June 20.-The upper
most question now is how long the pres
ent deadlock between parliament and
the government can continue. Premier
Goremyl1in is no longer a factor in the
situation, but some Of his colleagues,
headed by Minister Of Agriculture
Stichinsky, realizing that unless the
government fights the cabinet must fail
are earnestly advising the emperor to
take the bull by the horns and dissolve
parliament. They have submitted a
memorandum to the emperor advising
him to take this course on the ground
the parliament has ceased to be a legis-s
lative body and is simply the center Of
revolutionary agitation and urging that
immediate action is necessary. They
contend that the army as a whole can
still be relied upon. Finance Minister
Kokovsoff and Minister of Justice
Chieheglovitoff. on the other hand,
consider that an attempt to forcibly dis
solve parliament would be fatal The
former. who is ambitious to become
premier, seems to be championing
the formation Of mixed, responsible
MINISTRY i'll the hope that the emperor
viii charge him to undertake its forma-
ton. In the meantime, it is announced
that the cruise which the emperor and
his family will take in Finnish waters
will be made at the end of next week.
The imperia. yacht viii be escorted by
two war-hips.

highway have been covered by his car.
He estimates that the tour as planned
will not be completed until 1911, By
which time he expects to have seen
more of the world and its people than
any other living person.
During their travels Mr.. and Mrs.
Glidden have had many unique ex-
periences and have been entertained by
m0Hazchs and princes ranging IN inf1u-
ence from the king of the Fills 10 a
gorgeously robed Maharajah of an

through countries where a white man
is seldom seen and where their motor
car was regarded with awe, as a super
natural, fire. breathing monster.

Toledo Members of Ice Trust Fail to
Secure Freedom.

Toledo. June 3O.@There was a sen
sational scene in common pleas court
when attorneys for two of the con-
demned icemen argued a motion to set
aside the sentence on the ground that
defendants pleaded guilty on promise
OF the court that leniency would be
shown, that the court is prejudiced in
passing sentence and that the law is
unconstitutional.
Judge Kinkade threw the motion
out Of court and from the bench vigor-
ously assailed the attorneys for de-
PENDANTS.
Both sides used language not often
heard in court room and created a
genuine sensation. The same motion
has been filed in the circuit court
The court has reduced the fines and

dealers to $4,000 and six months in

ment for the further modification Of
