FIRE At RIVERSIDE.
Merton Rowe Loses Farm Buildings,
Tuesday-loss About $4,000. :"

Riverside, Me-, April S.-(SpeciaD.-
The farm buildings of Merton Rowe Of
this village were destroyed by fire at
about 100 Tuesday afternoon, together
with the greater part of the household
goods and farming tools: also three
cows, the loss aggregating about $4,000,
on which it is said that there is a
partial insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as none of the family were at home
when it started. Mrs. Rowe and an
other lady had harnessed the horse
after dinner and driven away and had
been gone about half an hour it is
said, when the stable was seen to be
in flames. BY determined work on the
part of some of the neighbors a por-
ton of the goods in the main part of
the house was saved. One of the num-
Der, Mrs. Edward Brown, is said to
have had narrow escape from injury
by her garments catching fire, but the
flames were extinguished before they
reached her person.

What is Causing the Increase Of
Catarrh in Augusta?

In spite of the best efforts of medi-
cal men, catarrhal troubles are in
creasing not only in Augusta, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing
organs should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is
irritated and raw and the tissues
weakened, there is an ideal lodging
place for catarrhal germs. Breathe
Hyomei and see how quickly it. soothes
the membranes, vitalizes the tissues
and destroys all the disease germs,
rendering catarrh no longer possible.
There Is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablets or liquid mixtures, whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the
horrors of catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate
to the most remote air cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, destroying the
catarrhal germs SO that quick re-
covery follows.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. agree to
refund the money to any purchaser of
Hyomei who does not find that it does
all that is claimed for it. The COM
plete outfit costs but 800.
