near Battle Creek, this county, was
burned to the ground end everything
lost, including S25 in cash that was

guilty of making blockade whiskey.
His sentence was for six months inn
prisonment and 500 fine additional.
The fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin, as Mrs. Watkins
and children were away from home
visiting the formers mother, and
there had been no fire in the house
for three days.
A note from Mr.. Watkins to The
Courier this morning states that he
will be extremely thankful to citizens
of the county If they will help his
family, as he is SO situated as to be
unable to help them. He was sent

A Bomb for New Jersey Executive.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-The pos
tai authorities held up and took from
the mails this morning bomb di-
rected TO Governor Fort, of New Jer-
sey. The peculiar construction of
tn" package excited the suspicious
Q the postal authorities, and when
they had carefully opened it a mass
of powder, nails and bullets were
found, SO arranged that the careless
opening of the package would have
fired 1t and killed the man opening
1t. 1t was marked Personal" and
probably would have been opened by

that the attempt to assassinate Gov

Everybody knows, or ought to
know, that Hyomei is recognized by
scientists as the specific tor Catarrh
Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever,
but there are great many people
who do not know that Hyomei will
cure cough or a cold in less than
twenty four hours.
But everyone should know that the
soothing, balmy and antiseptic air of
Hyomei when breathed over the raw
and inAamed membrane of the nose
and throat will instantly allay the
inflammation, and will effect a
prompt cure.
Complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler, costs only $1.O0 at Haynes
& Taylor, extra bottles, if afterwards
needed, will cost only so cents.
Joseph NJ. Harbaugh, Heldredge,

Hyomei in my family for two years
Or more, and find it one of the best
We ever used for cold or
