tLOPING PAIR RETURNS.
Pownal Youth Must Stand Trial on Charge Of
Abduction.

Edward Corners OF Pownal, who
eloped to New York City with Miss Ed.
ma Redding OF Chicopee and who was
arrested on the charge OF abduction In
that city, was arraigned In police
court at Chicopee Friday and pleaded
not guilty TO the charge OF abduction.
AT his request the case was continued
TO Saturday morning for trial In order
that he might communicate with an
uncle In Holyoke.
The girl Is at present in the care OF a
sister who is employed at the Chlcopee
almshouse. On The train coming from
New York Corners and the girl stuck
TO the one story for a while then Con.
ners weakened and told another story,
much more damaging than the first
one. The girl later told a similar
story.
According To Marshal Hamilton,
Corners and the girl had a clever
story arranged In case such an Incl
dent as an arrest happened. This
story they succeeded in getting the
New York police TO believe, but Mar
shall Hamilton did not believe IL anc
q confession followed. Corners told
the marshal that on Friday night, af
ter arriving In New York, they en-
deayored 10 secure a room ln a hote
as man and wife, but the hotel clerl
would only give them separate roomi
in separate parts OF the hotel which
they occupied.
Corners said he intended 10 look io
work but matrimony had never beef
discussed. Marshal Hamilton did no
have requisitIon papers but Conner
and the girl we're both willing to ge
back TO Chicopee.

Medication That is Breathing

1t seems just as ridiculous to put

dry
The fact that many people right In
Wilmington cough and hawk and snuff
ne for days and weeks after they trea
a cold with the usual stomach dosins
shows how valueless are the ordinary
cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure a cold In Ia
head or a cough and irritation in "a

Hyomeis medicated air. Put few
drops OF Hyomei in the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit and
breathe this healing air FOR a few times
and immediate relief will be noted.
The medication goes right TO the spot
where the disease germs are located
and renders them harmless in the fu-
ture.
Al the same time the soothing and
healing effects Of Hyomei on the irri-

HOW PROTECTION

one Of the queer features Of the PRO

was recently reinstatod and placed among
the players eligible to find a berth in tho
major leagues OF the country. BY this ae-
tion tho commission simply robbed I'm

baseball circles how any Justice can be

TO remain with tho Wiiliamsport team OF

Loses $500 to Protection.
BY the contract with wiriamsport for
1907 unglaub was to have received AJOo
for his services and this sum for sea,
son comprising five months Of playing.
During tho past week the secretary OF the
Boston Americans. TO which club unglauh
belongs under major league ruling, made
an offer whereby Unglaub would receive
81 700 for the season Of 1907 by appending
his signature 10 a Boston contract for
the coming year. In this contract is an
other clause which states that the sea-
son shall comprise six months of playing

Transport
Money Saver for Big League.
Boston papers have been iubilant owe
the fact that Unglaub had been reinsiated
and have been expressing their opinion
lavishly In regard 10 the first baseman o.
a utility player. From the national com
missions point OF view It is deemed al
honor TO be reinstatod. but as far as sal
ary is concerned Unglaub would be rob
bed Of good money the coming baseball
season. Glass protection has taken bu
one player from Wilramsport and 70
this player it has done less than the fan
\ there would have done for him. There !
no doubt but that the new proposiuo
win be a money-saver. and this instanc
proves the statement.
