A SURPRISED nINIs FER
Hyomel Cured Bronchial catarrh A.
ter He had Given up In Despair.


For many years | have been a suf-
ferer from bronchial catarrh and had
despaired of anything like cure
Judge Of my pleasant surprise when
first used Hyomel, which brought com
plete relief. Hyomei has been yeri-
table godsend. Rev. Charles Hartley
SARDINIA, Ohio.
There are many readers OF the Ben
nington Banner who are suffering
from catarrh, either nasal or bronchi-
al Many of these despair of ever
being cured. They have soaked their
stomachs with nostrums until they
are disguised with all medicines and
are now travelling their miserable way
allowing the deyllish germs OF catarrh
to sap them of their health, energy,
and vitality.
But let us reason together. W. l..
Gokay, the druggist, has guaranteed
remedy for catarrh, colds, coughs,
bronchitis, Group, and all infamma,,
tory diseases of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes. The name OF this
remarkable remedy is Hyomei and If
1t doesn't cure W. l.. Gokay Will give
you your money back.
Hyomei pronounced Higho-me) Is
medicated air; you just breathe II
through the inhaler over the infiamed
and germ ridden membrane and its
soothing antiseptic properties will al
lay the inflammation, destroy the
germs, and restore the entire respir-
atory tract to its normal conditions.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
hard rubber inhaler, costs but $1.OO,
and an exera bottle of Hyomei If af-
forwards needed, costs but so cents.
See w. L. Gokay about 1t today.

BEST TIME TO BUILD
Before Losses by Forest Fires Raise
Prices Of Lumber.

It. is not generally known that lum-
Der of all commodities has dropped
most in the recent panic. Nor is 1t
known that as result, just now Ia
the best time TO build. This Is so
from the fact that as soon as busi-
ness resumes its normal proportions
prices will go soaring again. And
our forest fires of this summer will
not help to keep prices down this
coming winter and spring.

An Omission

In our report of the Independent con-
vention last week we omitted. in the
list Of candidates mentioned, the name
of Geo. s. Power as the candidate for
prosecuting attorney. The oversight
is one Of those errors that just happen
in newspaper work. You don't know
how they can possibly happen butthey.do
and when they do happen it's 80 hard
to make the fellows slighted believe
that IL was an error that most news
papermen have given mp the idea OF
trying.
AS Mr.. Power has been the brains
and motive power behind the lndepen
dent movement, the omission OF nil
name among the candidates was Ger
tainly funny in the extreme.

HOUL|HAN CASE
HAS Been DECIDED
JUDGE STONE HOLDS AGAINST PLAIN
TIfFs' CONTENTION
MAY 60 10 SUPREME COURT
Effects the Title to Valuable Mineral
Property In the Stambaush Valley
Mining District

Judge Stone filed his opinion in the
Houlihan case early in the week and
in IL he holds against the contentious
of the Honlihans in their effoits TO
have .the sale Of the property by Mr..
FogaIty. the guardian. set aside.
The deed by Fogarty as guardian was
signed by him as administrator and
conveyed three quarter interest in
the lands owned by Houlihan to other
parties and reserving one-quarter in
terest in the property to the Houilhan
heirs.
There were many reasons cited by
the complainants for their position but
the principal one was that the admin
istrator could not sell anything less
than the entire interest of the estate in
the property The reserving of one
quarter interest in the property, even
though IL was to the benefit of the
heirs. didn't convey the entire interest
and therefore the complainants sought
to set aside the conveyance.
Judge Stone held the conveyance Il
be valid and defined the request Of tn,
complainants.
The property affected is one of tn,
most valuable in the Stambaugh vale,
district. 1t adjoines the Caspaii
mine to the north and is held unde
lease by the Corrigan- Mckinney peopl,
who wish to open up the ore deposit
that have been shown mp with a dia
mond drill but are held back becsus
OF the litigation.
