j. NJ. TAYLOR SAYS HYoMEI WILL CIV
RELIEF. SOLD UNDER GUARANTEE
The hay fever season is at hand an6
many people have already arranged tC
leave town so that they may avoid the
sneezing, the watery eyes, and other
annoying symptoms of this disagree
able disease.
]. M. Taylor wishes us to announce
that. when Hyomei is used as proven
tative or a cure there will be no hay
fever. He advises daily treatment with
Hyomei for a couple of weeks before
the usual time for the appearance of
the disease. If this is done, the attack
will be prevented. However, if the
treatment is not started soon enough
and the disease makes its appearance,
use Hyomei six or seven times daily
and relief will be had at once.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. Breathe it through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes in
every outfit, so that the medication
reaches the minutest air cells, killing
all germs and soothing and healing the
diseased membrane.
The complete outfit costs but $100,
extra bottles SOC. 1t is the only treat
ment for hay fever sold by J. NJ. Tay-
Tor with a guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.

of the proceedings something would
develop to show the relative strength
of Henry M. Whitney and District At

A TRIBUTE TO OLD VERMONT.
DEAN CLARKE,

All hail our old Green Mountain State,
Though small in size, in glory greatl
Her lakes and rivers, brooks and rills,
Her woods and wales, and green-clad hill
In LONELINESS may well compare
With any land supremely fair.
Her rock-ribbed mountains raised on higl
Like Titan walls to lift the sky
Bedecked with robes of living green
Add grandeur to each rural scene,
And guard the valleys at their feet
From blighting winds and scorching heat
Beneath her genial summer skies
She seems almost paradise;
When autumn's magic crystal dews
Dye all the leaves with rainbow hues,
Her landscapes new a splendor show
That rivals cen the sunset glow.
With horses, cattle, swine, and sheep,
That grow their wealth while farmers SLEEP
With sugar, granite, marble, slate
And mills and fact'ries adequate;
With diaries, fowls, and fruit galore,
Why need Vermonters sigh for more?
Tho rocks and stones abstruct her soil
And render hard the summers toll,
When autumn's harvest all is DER
Abundance crowds each threshing floor;
And well-fed children round each hearth
Are gay as if they owned the earth.
What if the winds do fiercely blow
And pile the roads with drifted snow
They do not daunt her boys and girls,
Nor make of them poor coward churls,
For wading snow in air that's chill,
Develops courage, strength and will.
Since Ethan Allen took "Old Ti"r
In name of Him who reigns on high,
"Green Mountain Boys, as brave as those
cold Ethan" for his daring chose,
Have wrought great deeds as worthy fame
As his ain Great Jehovah's name"
As when the proud, and naughty South
Secession" spoke from lannon's mouth,
Her heroes poured from every town
To put the lawless traitors down,
And fought till Grim Rebellion, sore,
Gave up the ghost-and war was DER.
Fen SO "Green Mountain Girls" were true
And loyal as the "Boys in Blue"
And all they could, was bravely done
To aid the cause our soldiers won;
By them, in camp, the sick were healed,
While those at home helped till the field.
A refuge from the wear and tear
OF business turmoil filled with care
A healthful, bracing, cool retreat
From noXious air and sitting heat
Vermont affords each city guest
The boon of comfort. peace and rest.
The best of all her splendid charms
OF mountains, valleys, hills and farms;
Worth more than hall for Church or State
Tho built of marble, rooted with slate;
More loved than palace walls and domes
Are modest, peaceful, Dear Old Homes.
Then hail to theel dear native State,
Thy sacred name we venerate;
Thy many virtues shine afar,
And we'll hast thou been named: "The star
That never SETS" but faithful waits
The cynosure to Heavens own gates!

PLANNED REVOLT

Placed Under Arrest
A PLOT AGAINST PALMA
Officials Claim to Have Evidence

Havana, Aug. 20.-Half dozer
prominent leaders of the Liberal party
have been taken into custody on the
charge of conspiracy against the gov
eminent and plotting to assassinat'
President Palma
The events of yesterday have shown
that the government was fully aroused
to the necessity of putting down moi
only the open outlawry in western
Cuba, but also to the necessity OF
capturing and combining the alleged
leaders of this movement, who were
strongly suspected of plotting the assas
snation of the president and over
throwing the present government by
force To that end the six members
of the Liberal party We're arrested.
The men arrested here are General
Volez and his brother, Fausto, eX-
Cuban consul at Bremen; ex-senator
Montague, Colonel Piedra, chief of pO'
lice in the house of representatives, and
General Castillo, a former congress
man from Puerto Principe province.
The five above mentioned men are
charged with conspiracy.
kilograms were sent to Santiago d.
rccting the arrest of Juan Gualberto
Gomez of Havana, known as the colored
orator and one of the most influential
of the Liberal leaders. Gomez has
been campaigning lately throughout
Santiago province against the govern
ment. The police of Santiago were also
ordered to arrest Demetrio Castillo.
Gomez and Castillo are charged with
melting to outlawry and revolution.
Havana, Aug. 21-The increasing
uneasiness over insurrectionary mani
feStationS in the western part of Cuba
was quieted to slight degree last even
ing by a decree of President Palma
appointing General Montalvo, secretary
of public works, to be in direct charge
of all military operations against the
insurgents. Palma also decreed the
increase of the rural guards to 1000,
the number contemplated in the bill
introduced at the last session Of con-
gress.
There is considerable discussion as
to whether in the event of Cuba being
unable TO suppress the insurrection,
she should ask the United States for
assistance, or whether the United
States may not intervene under the
terms of the Plat amendment without
such request being preferred. In the
meantime the government assumes that
it is entirely able to cope with the sit
uation, although the condition of I'M
rest may continue for several weeks.

EXCESSIVE LOANS
Chelsea Bank Men Indebted to
Failed Institution
PRESIDENT FATALLY ILL
Gives Up Equity In Large Real
Estate Holdings to Offset In
debtedness of Over $500, 900
--HOw the Crisis Developed

Chelsea, Mass, Aug. 1S.-Followine
the official information given by Bank
Examiner Ever to the national comp
troller of the currency that the failure
of the First National bank of Chelsea
the doors of which were closed Thurs
day night was due to excessive loans
made to officers and directors of the
bank, it has become understood that
the principal factor in the suspension
Of the bank is large Indebtedness on
the part of its president, Sylvester B.
Hinckley.
This indebtedness is unofficially esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000, but
directors of the bank say that Hinckley
has transferred to the institution his
equity in large real estate holdings,
which, it is expected, will provide for
the payment of all depositors in full.
Hinckley is said to be fatally i'll at
his home in Newton. So i'll, it is said,
is he, that on Saturday last he was
unable to place his signature to the
papers transferring his property to the
bank, and it was necessary for him to
resort to making his mark upon the
document. This proceeding was le~
galized by the witnessing signatures OF
his wife and son. 1t is said that
Hinckley had not been able to be at
the bank for four weeks.
Developments indicate that Hinckley
was involved in extensive real estate
transactions, from which he expected
to realize splendid profit for the bank,
as we'll as for himself. The failure Of
his plans, in connection with his Ill
ness, as well as dissatisfaction on the
part of at least one of the directors
with some of the paper placed with
the bank as collateral, accounts for the
closing of the bank.
The director most active in bringing
affairs to a crisis was Thomas Martin
a former president of the bank, who
in an interview, said that recently he
discovered evidence of unbusinesslike
methods, and as director started an
investigation, which developed the fact
that paper held by the bank was not
what Martin considered strictly COM
mercial. He said also that the sigma.
lures in some cases needed explain
ing" Martin also stated that suf-
1cient property had been transferred
by Hinckley to the bank to insure the
payment of depositors in full.
Examiner Ever, having been ap-
pointed temporary receiver by the
comptroller, is in charge of the bank,
and with an augmented corps of clerks
