Danger of Catarrh.
Unless Properly Treated with Hy-
omei, Becomes Serious.

ChAess Nroperiy treated WIN Hy-
omei, Becomes Serious.
Catarrhal troubles are far more dan
gerous than they seem at first thought.
II you have catarrh, there is an irri-
tated state of the mucous membrane
and weakened tissues which afford an
ideal lodgment and culture medium
for disease germs, especially those of
consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the
diseased tissue and work destruction
in the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest,
surest and cheapest way to cure ca
tarrh is by the direct method, breath.
ing Hyomei. This wonderful meili-
Gated air treatment does not drug and
derange the stomach, but is breathed
in, directly following and destroying
all disease germs that may have been
inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by G. A. Parcher is the best
evidence of his confidence in the
treatment, and should dispel all doubt
as to it's curative properties. He
agrees to refund the purchase price to
anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit
and you do not risk a cent in testing
its healing virtues. A complete outfit
costs but 81 if it helps you, not cent
if it does not do all that is claimed
for it.

where he had served nearly thirty years.

Dow Brooks, aged twenty-three years, OF
Gray, sentenced to the prison for twenty
years for rape, and who has served four
years of his sentence.
Both men were inmates Of the insane
department. After the killing Brooks
declared that it had been his intent to kill
five or six others.
The assault occurred at 7.3O O'Clock b
the morning while the men were filing
back up the stairs from the bath rooms
where they had been cleaning up. Brooke,
unknown to the keepers, had secured an
iron bar from one Of the bedsteads. When
he reached the turn Of the stairs, whore he
was momentarily out Of sight Of tho
keepers, he suddenly drew out the bar
and dubbed Smith, who walked in front
OF him, over the head. Smith dropped in
his tracks. His skull was fractured.
The crime for which Edward M. Smith

7: Trim, seventy-four, his daughter, Mrs.
Melissa Thayer, thirty four. and his
granddaughter, Josie Thayer, aged four,
were found in the ruins of their home
stead on farm, four miles from Bucks
port. Smith was seen near the house late
that night. Blood spots were found ON
his clothing. The motive was presumed
to have been robbery, as Smith knew
there was about $1,000 in money in the
house.
The case was tried in Ellsworth at the
| April term, 1877. Harvey d. Hadlock.
then practising in Bucksport, defended
Smith. Chief-Justice Emery was then at
torney- general, and the late George r.
Dutton was county-attorney. A. r. Deve-
| reux was sheriff.
Smith was convicted, but was not ar
raigned for sentence until the April term.
1873, when he was brought before judge
John A. Peters. When asked the usual
question as to whether he had anything .
say, he addressed the court for nearly
| two and half hours, going over the evi-
dence in detail and pointing out what he
| considered errors in the links Of circum-
stantiai evidence on which he had been
| convicted.
Judge Peters imposed the life sentence
