Winners in State Rifle Shoot.

A number of men from Co. d, \. G..
S. NJ, went TO Portland Fast Day to
compete in the indoor rifle tournament
of the National Guard of the state, at
the Auditorium in that city. Two
prizes were secured by Co. d men.
In class A, which was the free-for-all
of the tournament, the Hale silver cup
was won by Lieut.. ii. w. Warren OF
Dover, who is thus entitled to be called
the indoor champion of the guard for
this year. The third prize in this class,
A Morris chair, was won by Lieut.. Moses
p. Stiles of Norway. During the day
Lieut.. Stiles shot eleven strings with
total of SIG out of a possible $50, includ-
ing three strings of As out of possible
30.
In class b no one could enter who
qualified higher than third class in the
practice season of 1905. The winner OF
the Col. Cashier cup, the first prize in
this class, was Private W. F. Tubbs OF
Co. ID. Private rubbs is a new man IN

Paris High School won their second
game of the season from Bridgton High
School Saturday afternoon on the high
school grounds. The game was one OF
loose fielding, hard hitting and reckless
base running, but the teams were well
matched and the excitement at times ran
quite high. The Paris team was con-
siderably changed from the one that
played Hebron and was somewhat
stronger, but there is still chance for i'm
provement and good lot of hard practice
is needed.
After the game there was some dis
cussion about the score, Bridgton being
a little inclined to think they had tied
the score, but as both scorers had the re-
suit the same it was allowed. 1t was
hard game to score and as neither scorer
had had much experience, it would have
been an easy matter for them to get
little muddled.
Titcomb played nice fielding game
for Paris, and the double play turned in
by him and Stowell was the feature OF
the game.

Two Men Drowned at Andover.
ONE LOSES HIS LIFE TRYING TO SAVE
THE OTHER.

William Bayle, "a years of age, and
Henry Hoyt, 10, were drowned at An
dover, Sunday, April %. Hoyt lost his
life in trying to save Bayle.
Both men were working on the logs
being driven by Herbert Newton for the
Thurstons. They were just above An
dover at what is known as Sawyer's
notch. The water was very high and
running swiftly and white. Bayle was
running the logs when small one turn
ed under him and he went into the river.
Hoyt who was near by, never hesitated
a moment, plunging into the river to the
rescue of Bayle.
James Carver, who was tending the
gate at the dam, saw the accident and
ran to shut the gates. He could not do
this alone and summoned help. When
the gates were finally closed, all ran to
the rescue of Bayle and Hoyt.
1t was half an hour before the bodies
were recovered, five feet from each other,
and an examination showed severe
wound at the base of each mans brain.
Very little water was in the lungs and it
is believed that as the men fell into the
water, each was struck by the logs, caus-
ing almost instant death.
Hoyt was the son of Nal Hoyt, post
master at Littlefield, a short distance
above Rumford Centre. Nothing is
known of Bayle.

\ Good Recovery from the Fire.
PROSPECT THAT DESTROYED INDUS
TRIES WILL BE REBUILT LARGER THAN
BEFORE.

Ten days after the fire which ate out
so large a hole in South Paris village
there is good prospect that there will
be no permanent loss to the village, but
that the industries whose plants were
wiped out in that blaze will be restored,
larger and better than before, in South
Paris village, though not all on the old
locations. This condition of things is
largely due to hustle and public
spirit.
As noted last week, a meeting Of the
South Paris Board of Trade was held the
night after the fire, when the business
of Investigating conditions was left with
two committees of that body. Tuesday
evening meeting of the board and citi-
zens was held, at which report from
these committees was presented.
The committees had consulted with
Messrs. Mason and Scott of the Mason
Manufacturing Co., and found that they
did not desire to engage in business
again on the old site, but wanted loca-
ton by the railroad, where they could
have a spur track. Also, they having
suffered loss by the fire, and the BUSH
ness being considerably spread out, they
would need some more capital to work
with, which they desired to get at
a low rate of interest.
After more or less discussion of the
matter, a committee was chosen to can
vass for subscriptions for loan of
$4,000 to the Mason Manufacturing Co.,
at per cent, to be secured by mort
gage on the plant. William j. Wheeler,
Albert W. Walker and Nelson G. Elder
were the first three members of this
committee, and they put in some very
lively work, so that within two days the
result was in sight, and within two days
more it was assured.
1t is not absolutely certain that
the Mason Manufacturing Co. will be
able to secure everything desired for the
rebuilding of its plant here, but there is
a strong probability that it will be done,
and that the new plant will be larger
and better in all respects than the old,
and will employ larger number of
hands.

HEBRON IL; RADCLIFFE 10.

Despite the cold, disagreeable weather,
a large crowd turned out Thursday after
noon TO see the ball game between
Hebron and newly organized team for
Radcliffe. The game, although very
evenly contested throughout, was rather
uninteresting until the last few innings,
when Hebron, aided by two costly errors
by the Radcliffe's center fielder, was able
to win. They were greatly pleased to
win the game and they we'll might be,
for the team that represented Radcliffe
was a strong one and one that had they
had practice so as to be in as good form
as Hebron was, would never have allow.

HYoMEI CURES CATARRH IN NATURAL
AND RATIONAL WAY.

HYoMEI CURES CATARRH IN NATURAL
AND RATIONAL WAY.
No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con-
coctions are taken into the system when
Hyomei is used in the treatment of ca
tarrh. Breathcd through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit, the
balsamic healing of Hyomei penetrates
to the most remote cells of the nose,
throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal
germs, healing the irritated mucous
membrane and effecting complete and
permanent cure.
In natural and rational way, by med
icatiug the air you breathe with Hyomei,
every breath will be healing and anti
septic, like the air found on the noun
tains where the pine forests give of their
fragrant and healing balsams.
No medicine taken into the stomach
can possibly reach the remote cells of the
air passages, or give the immediate relief
that follows the use of Hyomei. A few
days treatment is usually all that is nee
essary to show how quickly this remedy
will cure catarrh.
So successful has Hyomei been in the
cure of catarrh among their customers,
that F. A. Shurtleff & Co. sell it under
positive guarantee that 1t costs nothing
unless it gives satisfaction. The COM
plete outfit sells for one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for so
cents.

SCIATICA CURED AFTER TWENTY
YEARS OF TORTURE.

For moro than twenty years Mr.. j. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapolis,
Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The
pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprehen-
sion. Nothing gave him any permanent
relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. One application of that liniment
relieved the pain and made sleep and rest
possible, and less than one bottle has
effected a permanent cure. If troubled
with sciatica or rheumatism why not try
a 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves the pain.
