Harmful Stomach Dosing.
No Need of 1t When Hyomei 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 go 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 with every outfit ne
sells. The complete Hyomei outfit costs is
but 81, while extra bottles of Hyomel IL
needed are but so cents.

Charles Norris, and Mrs, B. 6. Morrison
sang beautiful solo. Mrs. A. L. Finney
gave most interesting and enthusiastic
report Of the annual meeting of the State
Federation at Bennington, which she
attended. The speaker of the evening
was then introduced, Mrs. Mary l.
Wood Of Portsmouth, N. H., who is a
fine speaker, a prominent club woman,
and the editor of the Northen, the state
official organ. Mrs. Wood gave de-
lightful address on subjects especially
interesting to club women. She contras-
ted the lives of women today with those
of our foremothers, and showed how
labor-saving machinery had taken so
much work from the household that
women were putting their leisure time to
use in work for improvement outside the
home. She spoke of the valuable work
done by the General Federation and of
the work done along various lines by the
club women, making many timely and
suggestive remarks. Mrs. Wood is a
woman of very attractive personality,
a magnetic speaker and was greatly
enjoyed. Her visit will long be an in
spiration to all her hearers.

Night Assault With List
of Slain,

Havana, Feb. 25.-The quarters in the
town of Quanabacoa, occupied by TWEEN
ty-five rural guards, were attacked
early this morning by about thirty riot
ers, armed with rifles and revolvers,
who suddenly entered from the rear

soldiers, shouting, Long live the con-
stitutiOn," Long live the liberal par
ty, and Down with the rural
guards
AS soon as the dazed soldiers real
lied the situation they seized their
arms and began to return the fire,
whereupOn the rioters fed None of
them has been arrested.
1t was found that a sergeant had
been killed in his bed and that cor
poral on guard also was killed. while
four rural guards were wounded.
Nothing took place during Saturday s
celebration Of Independence day to
cause the attack except that the rural
guards prevented a group Of striking
bakers from interfering with work in
a local bakery. The rural guards sly
that the leader of the rioters wore .
policeman's uniform, and they claim to
have recognized some of the others.

RUSSIA ANGRY
OVER YOUNG GIRL
Brutal Officials Abuse Slayer of
Hated Secret Service Officer
at Tamboff.

St Petersburg. Feb. 25.-Great wrath
has been aroused in liberal circles by
the publication of a letter from Mile.
Spiridonovo, the 17-year-old girl, who
shot NJ. Luzhenoffsky, chief of the Sc
cret police at Tamboff, in which she
describes and indignities and brutali-
ties TO which she was subjected. On
account of her youth and her self-sac-
rifice in executing the sentence against
NJ. Luzhenoffsky, who was detested on
account of his cruelty in suppressing
the peasant disorders, she had been
made one of the heroines of the revo-
luton and is called a second Charlotte
Corday.
The letter says that after the shoot
ing of Luzhenoffsky, whose body guard
Of COssacks did not save him from five
well aimed bullets, Mile. Spiridonovo
was knocked down and beaten with the
whips Of the COsSacks, and rife butts.
She was then dragged by her hair
downstairs to a sleigh by the enraged
COssacks, taken to the police station,
undressed and thrust into q damp, cold
cell, where she was subjected to eleven
hours of torment in order to force her
to reveal the names Of her accOmpliceS.
The girl says that two officers TOOK
brutal pleasure in kicking her back and
forth across the cell, tearing her hair,
burning her flesh with their cigarettes
and threatening her with abandonment
to the Cossacks unless she confessed.
Mile. SpiridOnovo is now in a hospital
in a serious condition. Her skull IS
fractured in two places, one eye is in
jured and her body is a mass of bruises
from head to foot.
The newspapers demand the instant
trial and punishment of the two Off
GERS, whose names are given; but the
vengeance Of the revolutionists will
probably anticipate official action

down the steps and trampled on one
another in their fright. At the back
of the hall was an exit and the chill
dren. drilled to seek that exit, made a
lush there. but found that the way
was blocked.
