One of the large summer cars on the
Watch Tower line, of the 300 series.
went into the ditch at Strayer's cross
ing in South Rock Island. at 5:45 yes
terday afternoon with II people on
, board. The derailing of the car was
caused by the breaking of an axle,
which dropped to the ties and threw
the car to the west side of the track.
The front end pitched into the ditch,
but the rear end remained over the
track. None of the passengers. who
were returning from the Watch Tower,
, was injured seriously, though several

BETTER Than MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomel's Tonic Healing
and be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine and
drugs.
It is the healing oils and balsoms of
Hyomei which medicate the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, kill
ing all catarrhal germs and restoring
health to mucous membrane.
The use of Hyomei is Ikea curative
internal air bath, and has the same
healing and anticeptic effect as the air
where the pine forest give of their
fragrant and healing balsoms.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei and see how quickly you
will get relief from catarrh. If it does
not help you there will not be a penny
expense, as J. 3. Hill & Son agree tic
refund the none if it fails to cure
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
$1.OO.

A Savaae's Sense of DUTY.

Although the Australian aborigine
has his vendetta, it is not always re-
venge that he seeks. Darwin tells of
q native servant Of west Australian
magistrate ;. 40 went one day to his
master, saying that one Of his wives
had died. He must go away therefore
to distant tribe and spear a woman
to satisfy his sense Of duty to the
dead woman. 'If you do, I'll send you
to prison for life,'' said his master
For year the man hung about, look
ing wretched and i'll and complaining
that he could neither eat nor sleep, as
the spirit of his wife haunted him
because he had not taken another life
for hers. At last he disappeared A
year later he returned in high condi-
ton. There was no legal evidence
against him, but it was known that
he had gone to a distant tribe, had
speared woman to death and so, as
he thought, appeased the spirit of his
departed wife.

CAPTURED bv the Students.

Some years ago the selectmen Of the
town Of Hanover, N H., decided, in
their wisdom, to collect a poll tax from
every Dartmouth student Of legal age.
The boys said nothing to this, but
quietly decided that if they paid taxes
they would also vote. So they turned
out in full force at the annual meeting.
Having strength enough to secure con-
troll, in less than five minutes they had
elected students to the positions Of
moderator and clerk. Thirty minutes
from the time the meeting was called
to order the town Of Hanover had gone
on record as having voted to build
brick schoolhouse 500 feet long, ten
feet high and two feet wide and to
build plank walk from Reed Hall in
Hanover to Lebanon in which town
was female seminary. The tax col
lector did not trouble Dartmouth stu
dents for many years after that.
