THE LAUNCH PARADE.
Elaborate Plans for Next Thursday:
Great Event at the Lake,

All around the shores of Lake Cob
bosseecontee there is much interest in
the annual launch parade which will
take place next Thursday, August %.
Commodore Robinson of the Cobbossee-
contee Yacht Club has placed the full
arrangements for this interesting
event in the hands of Capt. Harry r.
Mooney and that is garantee that
everything will be done in the proper
style. The whole affair will take place
at the southern end of the Lake. The
parade itself will be in Billiards. bav
and the reviewing party will be at Cob
bossee Colony.
The start will be made at Pine Island
at S.P. Nj. and it is hoped that every
one of the IS power boats now owned
upon the lake will be in line at that
time. Two prizes have been offered. one
for the best decorated boat and one
for the best manCuvcred boat. As Conn
mOdorc Robinson has resigned the
leadership of the club whose affairs he
has managed 50 successfully for MANY
years and as this launch parade will
be the concluding feature Of his term
of office, it is designed to pay special
honOrs to him on this occasion. and
with this end in view cannon has
been secured which will be stationed at
Cobbossee Colony and which will be
used in firing the salutes due the rank
of commodore.
Thanks to the energy and enterprise
of Capt. Mooney several special feat
urcs have been arranged which will add
much to the pleasure and picturesque
ness Of this occasion. High above the
waters of Bal!ard's bay wire has been
strung from shore to shore, its total
length being 400 feet. From this wire,
Just as the launches arc passing in re-
view below. a large American flag, c.
feet in length, will be unfurled. AS it
futters downward. four barrels of con-
fetti will be set free at the same time
to shower the launches passing below.
1t will re sight worth going far to
witness.
After the parade is over there will be
4 social hour at Cobbossee Colony and
all present will be given an opportunity
to witness a boat race of one and ono
half miles between the four-oared
Moneys camp. The boys have long
been in careful training for this race
ard it is sure to be an exciting feature
of the day. Regular racing boats have
been secured and all the details will be
carried out AS in the boat races between
the big universities. Other special feat
ures are also being prepared and it is
certain that next Thursdays launch
parade will be the most elaborate af-
fair of the kind ever held on the lake.

Horace 3, Ccny,

Horace b. Cony, one of Augusta
most respected citizens, died at his
nome on Middle street about 1890 yes
terday morning, after an illness of a
nttie more than a week. due to heat
prostration received in the Patriarch $
Militant parade at Bath. Mr.. Cony
went to that city with the members OF
Canton Augusta, on Wednesday of last
week to participate in the parade of
that day. and during the march fell out
and was taken to the hospital, being
later brought to this city on the even-
ing train. For the first few days he
appeared to rally, but this proved only
temporary, and despite all that low
ing hands and skilled medical attcn-
dance could do. he passed away quiet
ly and painlessly yesterday morning
Mr.. Cony was born in Augusta on
January 6, 1887, and was the son of
Dr. Robert A. and Tryrhosia Eliza
beth Cullcr) Couy. He had been a
resident of Augusta throughout his
long life, and few men living knew
more about the history and growth of
tho city than did he.
Horace Cony YVES q man whose death
deserves more than passing mention. A
nature warm and genial to a remark
able degree. together with splendid
loyalty to friends, and OrganiZat tons
which he considered his. gave him ii
popularity with fellow citizens seldom
accorded to a man in the ordinary
walks of life. He knew everybody and
everybody knew him. To meet him
once was to remember him, for his
makeup was one which left it's i'm
preston of friendship-a friendship at
once loyal, warm, and generous.
He was keenly interested in politics
and it is doubtful if there is a man in
this vicinity who had better judgment
along political lines. He knew how to
judge men and had his lot been cast
under slightly different conditions, he
might we'll have won distinction in
political activity. He was a member
of the city government in 1889. was
street commissioner for the Eastern
district in 1906, and was a member of
the Republican city committee for a
number of years. being a member at
the time of his death.
He was also a member of Augusta
Lodge, No. al. F. & A. NJ, Asylum
Lodge, No. 20. Jephtha Encampment
No. 8. I. o. o. F., and Canton Augusta
No. Q, Patriarchs Militant.
For number of years Mr.. Cony had
charge of the Maine State Insane hos
pital farm.
Mr.. Cony is survived by a widow
Mrs. Clara Woodbury. Cony. and two
sons and one daughter, Archibald B.
Cony of Boston, Clarence Manley Cony
of this city. and Mrs Willard O. Howe
of Portland; one brother Robert A.
Cony. ST., and sister, Mrs. Isabel
Cain, both of this city.
The funeral will be held from the
late residence on Middle street at S
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, and will be
under the auspices Of Canton Angus
ia, of which he was a most active
member

RIGHT REATHlNG CURES
CATARRH.
Simple Way to Kill Catarrhal Germs
in Nose, Throat and LUNGS.

If you cut your finger, you don't at
tempt to heal 1t by swallowing a pill
or a dose of medicine
1t is just as foolish to try and cure
catarrh of the nose and throat with
pills and stomach dosing, for catarrh
is a local disease, and needs special
local healing treatment.
The only natural and common sense
method known for the cure of catarrh-
al troubles is Hy-o-me. 1t is breathed
through an ingenious pocket inhaler,
So that it's .medicated air reaches the
most remote air-cclls Of the nose,
throat and lungs. killing all catarrhal
germs, soothing the irritatcd mucous
membranes, and restoring healthy
condition.
If you suffer from catarrhal troubles,
such as offensive breath, raising of
mucous. frequent sncezing, husky
voice, discharge from the nose, drop
pings in the throat, loss of strength,
spasmodic coughing, or a feeling Of
tightness across the upper part of the
chest, you should begin to use
Hy-o-mei at once. 1t will destroy all
disease germs in the nose, throat and
lungs, and provide the blood with adGi-
tional ozone.
The complete Hy-o-mei outfit with
inhaler costs but s1.OO. So strong is
Bowditch, Webster & Co.'S. of Augusta
and Geo. w. DORIS of Waterville faith
in the power Of Hy-o-mei to cure all
catarrhal troubles, that with every
dollar outfit. they give an ironclad
guarantee to refund the money unless
the remedy gives satisfaction.

The towns are slow in sending in the
bridge returns. but this is not strange
when 1t is considered that there are
80 questions on tine big blank sent out
to the Selectmen and municipal officers
by Highway Commissioner Sargent
and that many of the questions cannot
be answered until after an examination
Of all the bridges in town and the con-
sulting Of various old town records.
These blanks were sent out June 10 in
accordance with an order passed by the
last Legislature and the object OF the
investigation is to secure exact data
regarding the bridges, large and small,
in the State Of Maine The general
bridge dill has in one form or another
been before the last three Legisla lures
and has in each case been defeated be-
cause the information as to the num-
Der and character of bridges, the an
nual cost of new bridges and the cost
Of maintaining existing bridges has
been only ffagmentary and uncertain.
AS stated before, the big blanks with
30 questions as to the number. type.
character, dimensions, cost, age, cordi-
ton. builders. maintenance. etc. We're
sent out June Is. and thus far just 101
out of the 52I towns. cities and plan
tations in the State have filled out the
blanks and returned them to Commits
sion"r Sargent. There was no time lin
it set, and as the department is anx-
inus TO ge. the informa ton required as
soon as possible SO that it may be
tabulatcd and put in form available
for use, gentle reminders in the way Of
rostals and circular letters are sent
from time to time to the towns which
have not been heard from. In sending
ont the blanks. Commissioner Sargent
explained that everything over six feet
in length was to be regarded as a
bridge. while anything less than six
feet across is called n culvert. An ar
bitrary division had to be made some-
where and this six-fdot limit was
named
Five of the towns already heard from
got out of the investigation very east
ly by stating that they have no bridges
within their limits over six feet in
length. These five are Veazie. Perkins.
MOnhegan, Crehaven and Isle au Haut.
AZ all of these except VeaZie are is
lands their bridgeless condition is
easily explained OF the 101 towns thus
far heard from Dixfield with A bridges
over six feet in length. appears to have
the most bridges and Albany with 3s
takes second place, though it is very
probable that some of the towns yet
to be heard from will report more
bridges than either of these possess.
Commissioner Sargent has also sent
out to all the towns a blank asking
for information as to the money spent
during the present year in building and
repairing bridges. Just as many towns
arc slow in filing out the first named
blank so some are too prompt in send
ing back this second one. for it is de-
sired that this second blank give in
formation as to all money spent on
bridges up to Nov. l of this year.

PITTSBURG, Sept 26.-The swift

with Laura Childs, a storekeeper's
daughter, about his own age. In two
weeks he married her.
Chester McAfee, chum of young
Cruikshank let out the secret.

Alive Four Months In a Grave.

Hari Das, the great Hindoo fakir,
who lived in the first half of the nine
teenth century, is the only wonder
worker of modern times who has ever
allowed himself to be buried in the
ground for months. In the year 1889
Hari told General Ventura that for a
certain fee he would allow committee
to test the claims which he made of be-
ing able to die and remain dead for
months and then come to life again.
When all vas arranged Hari hypno-
tized himself to such a degree that his
circulation was wholly stopped. When
he was pronounced dead to all intents
and purposes he was buried in a gar
den and a high wall built around the
grave. Guards were stationed on the
wall so that interference or deception
would be impossible. -Four months
later Hari was exhumed according to
agreement, and after few minutes OF
vigorous rubbing of his body by friends
he opened his eyes, and an hour later
he was we'll and able to walk. The
fakir was clean shaven when buried
and is said to have come out of the
grave in the same shape, fact which
is cited to prove that vitality must
have been completely suspended.

After an evening so pleasantly spent
each guest went away with a better
understanding of the object of this
order. Quite a nice sum was realized.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-(Special.)-
Like Barkis, Liverpool appears will
ing. British bulls, backed by legiti-
mate trade conditions, are willing to
give battle and the armies of the
bulls and bears might be now said
to be sleeping on their arms. After
the battle the Red Cross society will
have lots of work to do. Today's mar
ket on this side of the deep blue sea,
was, at best, featureless affair. The
public will not buy and will not sell.
AS long as this condition prevails the
course of values will be made in New
York and Liverpool among class
of operators who have never been
known to give presents three months
before Christmas. A feature of the
day was the set Of resolutions passed
by the DeKalk county branch. Union
of 90, of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation, condemning Governor Smiths
estimate of 100000 bales for Geor-
gia. The general weakness of the
stock market was reflected in the cot
ton market Just now the South is
face to face with a burden of finan-
cling a big cotton crop, and the bur-
den will prove too heavy for the white
man. A lamentable feature was the
news from Fall River of reduction
in the price of all grades of cotton
goods. This feature has been the
bulwark of the market, and any
weakening from this source must
mean the death knell of all hopes
of higher prices for the present.
