ed. says Mount Vernon despatch
10 the Bellingham American.
The last person who is known to
have seen Osborn is Cashier Davis
Of the Mount Vernon State. Bank.
For some rme Osborn had had
dealings in this vicinity, although
prior to his visit August Sth, all of
his affairs had been handled by one
of his. sons On the day in question
he withdrew from the bank his en-
tire account, several thousand dol
lars, with the fntimation shat he was
going to Seattle to transact business
and would return for further bust
ness with the bank. :.

Interested with A. l.. Soper in buy
ing horses and stock, Davis suppos-
ed that Osborn drew the money for
such purpose and thought nothing OF
it, especially as the Wilson Creek
banker was apparently in the best
of health and spirits.
The next heard locally was on
Wednesday, when messenger from
IS. A. Osborn, the son, came to the
bank inquiring for particulars and
announcing the disappearance Of Os-
born senior. 1t seems that Soper
and the two Osborns had been in
Sedro-W oolley selling horses. and
that the elder man left the others
to come to Mount Vernon. saying
he would go from here to his home.
That was the last they saw OF him.
Osborn is one of the leading men
of Wilson Creek. His financial in
terests are carried and heavy. He
has a large mercantile business, is a
stockholder in two banks, operates
several ranches and is heavy deal
ell in cattle.

WHO USES HY0MEI?
The Rest People in Hammond, Say
Summers Pharmacy-Guarantee
in Catarrhal Troubles.

No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures in
Hammond as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues, say Summers pharmacy, who
are the local agents. The fair way in
which Hyomei is sold, to refund the
money unless it gave satisfaction, was
the best proof when 1t was introduced
that it possessed unusual curative pow
ers. Summers pharmacy took all the
risk of the treatment giving satisfac-
ton, and left it to the purchasers to
be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well known ply
sicians and business men and their
wives as a treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly
grew and today there is not other rem
edy in Summers pharmacy stock that
has such a large and staple sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's heal
ing air kills all catarrhal poison.

macy offer to refund the money if the
treatment does not give you satisfac-

INTERESTING POINT DECIDED
Charter of "a Public Utility Concern
Binding Whether Based on
Valid Law or Not

Washington. Nov. 5. The case OF
the Interstate Consolidated Railway
company VS.. the state OF Massachu-
sets, involving the constitutionality
of the Massachusetts statute requiring
street railway companies to sell tick
cts to school children at half rates,
was decided by the supreme court of
the United States in accord with the
states contention. The decision raised
the interesting point as to whether a
charter for corporation involving a
contract based upon an unconstitution-
al law is binding, and the majority of
the court in effect held that such may
he the case.
The court reached the conclusion,
said Justice Holmes, that inasmuch as
the law was enforced when the charter
was granted it was binding, regardless
of its validity AS for himself, however.
Justice Holmes considered the law ia
be in pursuance of the state police
power and was willing to sustain it on
that ground.
