petrated yesterday morning on the
tracks of the kennebec Central rail-

and causing serious injury to its
passengers.
The train was proceeding back to
Randolph from Togus at it's usual
speed on it's AS trip. when just before
the Windsor street crossing was
reached the men in the cab Of the
engine discovered sleeper directly
across the rails. The train was stop
ped in time to avoid any serious
damage and the sleeper was removed
and the trip to Randolph resumed.
The cause of the act is unknown I'M
less it may be that some person is
seeking vengeance on the road for an
old grudge or that it was simply the
malicious mischief Of some bad bows.
Whoever the guilty parties are. if ap-
pretended, they will be dealt with
severely. The officials Of the road are
having a careful search made for the
would-be train-wreckers and are look

CHICAGO GAMBLERS BALKED
BY Revocation Of Licenses Of Steamer
Used BY Them.

Washington, July S.-By the revoca-
ton Of the passenger certificates Of
the steamer City of Traverse the gov
the alleged gambling syndicate of the
city of Chicago.
The City CT Traverse leaves Chicago
each day and anchors in Lake Michi-
gan near the lines of intersection of
the states of Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan and it is said conducts there
gambling operations. Information con-
corning the results of the race tracks
of the country are received by wireless
telegraphy and the steamboat, it is
further alleged, IS operated as a feat
ing pool room.
The authorities Of Chicago have
vainly endcavored to suppress the evil.
Finally Mayor Busse appealed to the
government authorities. Today Acting
Secretary Murray of the department of
commerce and labor instructed Collec-
tor of Customs John c. Ames at Chi
caEo. that If the facts were as repre-
scented, he should cancel the vessels IL
cense at once.
This involves the cancellation Of tho
steamers passenger certificate as well.
This action is taken under the au-
thority Of the revised statutes of the
United States which specifically pro-
vide that a license granted to any
vessel shall not be considered in
force any longer than the vessel is en-
gagged i'm the employment for which she
was specifically licensed.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS.
Breathe Hyomei's Healing Air and All
Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured.

The most irritating and annoying
form Of cough is that termed
bronchial. People subject to bron-
chial troubles whenever there is a
change in the weather or they are cx-
posed to a draft will "catch" d
bronchial cough, which is very dis
agreeable, irritating and annoying.
Bronchial troubles cannot be cured
by stomach dosing. The mcdicated
air of Hy-o-mei is the only treatment
that reaches the affected parts and
gives relief ard cure. 1t destroys all
the disease germs that are present in
the nose, throat and lungs, soothes and
relieves the irritated mucous MEM
brane in all parts Of the bronchial
tubes and quickly overcomes the
irritation.
Bronchitis is really an Inflammation
Of the rAucous membrane lining the
air passages and is purely a local
disease, so that it needs local treat
ment like that afforded by Hy-o-mei.
If there is any doubt in your mind
as to the power Of Hy-O-mei to cure
bronchial troubles so that the system
will resist coughs and colds, the I'M
usual way in which it is sold by
Bowditch. Webster e. Co. should dis
pei that doubt. They agree to refund
the money to any purchaser or
Hy-o-mei who is not perfectly salts
fled with the results following the use
of the remedy. They take all the risk
and if the remedy does not help you
it does not cost a penny, while If 1t
cures, the expense is nominal. for a
complete uy-o-mei outfit is sold at
only 800.
