That's the Way to Pronounce Hyomei, the
Money-Back Catarrh Cure.

As doubt exists in the minds of many readers
of The Journal let US say that the above is the
proper pronunciation of Americas most won
derful catarrh cure. A. A. Howes & Co. are the
agents of Hyomei in Belfast and they will sell
you an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, and full in
structions for use, for only $lOO.
And if it fails to cure acute or chronic
catarrh, asthma. bronchitis, Group, hay fever
or coughs and colds, they will give you your
money back. The person who suffers from
catarrh after such an offer as that, must like to
shuttle, spit and wheeze, and be generally dis
gushing.
Read what Mr.. G. F. Lowe says:
II have used Hyome for a case of nasal
catarrh which had bothered me for long time.
l can say that Hyomei killed the germs of the
disease and gave me the much sought and
needed relief. From this experience know
Hyomei to be reliable remedy, and give it
the praise and recommendation that it de-
serves."-G. F. Lowe, R. F. D No. 7, Allegan,
Mich, September 19, 1908.

BOOMING BELFAST.
Maine.

What purports to be an advertisement
in an alleged newspaper distributed in
this Vicinity says that business firm is
wanted in Belfast ''to purchase agricul-
tural products, handle agricultural i'm
plements, grain, feed, chemicals for fer
tilizers, etc. 1t is further said that,
years ago there were several firms in
this city that purchased agricultural
products and made money Death re-
moved these men and none have taken
their place" Every intelligent person
in this city and vicinity knows that these
statements are untrue and unwarranted;
and while it is generally recognized that
the intention is to ''knock" ~one or more
individuals this advertisement" reflects
upon Belfast as whole and if believed
would do our city serious injury by
diverting trade elsewhere which should
naturally come here. But the probable
ity is that few will be deceived, as the
animus of this publication is clearly
revealed. AS to buying agricultural
products, every grocery store in town
does that, and the firm of knowlton &
Grant, recently established, makes a
speciality of this business. The Belfast
Fuel & Hay Company buys all the hay
the farmers have to sell, and in the sea-
son there is market for all the apples
that are offered, one firm shipping 1900
barrels from this station the past season..
All the grocery stores handle grain and
feed and the Swan & Sibley Company
and Jackson & Hall sell at wholesale.
The latter firm also sells chemicals for
fertilizers, as well as the best prepared
fertilizers, succeeding in this line L. A.
knowlton & Son. Mason & Hall and j.
w. Jones handle agricultural imple-
ments, the first named firm having taken
over that branch of the L. A. KnoWlton
business. 10 announce that no such
firms or dealers are to be found here
seems very poor way to boom Belfast.
In the same lire is the issuing of sheet
which has reused the Indignation of the
people of neighboring town with which
the people of Belfast have for century
or more maintained the most friendly
social and business relations. The iniu-
rious effects of this production We're
clearl y manifested last week and, as in
other directions, it is feared that it will
be some time before the ill feeling
aroused can be allayed.

The Boston Globe representative with
the Boston Merchants Association on
their visit to this city last week was mis-
Informed as to the arrangements made
for welcoming the visitors. If most Of
the local committee were Republicans
they were not selected by the Board of
Trade for that reason, but because they
are representative business men; and
Hon. Robert F. Dunton, who gave the
address of welcome, is lifelong Demo-
crat and has been elected mayor of Bel
fast and Representative to the Legisla-
ture as Democrat. He not only stands
at the head of the Waldo county bar, but
is President of the Belfast Savings bank
and director of The City National bank
of Belfast and was eminently qualified to
address an audience of visiting business
men as a representative citizen. The
Globe correspondent is guilty of the Of
fence he attributes to others by ignoring
Mr.. Dunton and also Mr.. O. E. Frost,
who made the closing remarks. His ad-
dress and that of Mr.. punton were warm
ly commended by the'visitors, who must
have been surprised to find no mention of
them in the Globe.

Maine has with great loss the
past week in the deaths of Prof. Hugh
Ross Hatch and George C. burlington,
prominent educators and men of con-
spicuous ability. The loss of Prof. Hatch
comes near home as he was a native of
Islesboro and had often preached in this
city, and during the nearly six years he
had been at the head of the mathematical
department of Colby College he had en-
deared himself to many students from
this section. Prof. burlington had been
at the head of the Normal School at
Pennington for more than quarter of
century, and his graduates are scatter
ed in all parts of the Union, putting into
actual practice the results of his teach
ing. Loyal to his State, good citizen,
good educator, man of sterling quail
ties he had made his life force for good,
and will be missed in many walks of life.
1t is hoped that none of our farmers
will make the mistake of putting all their
eggs in one basket. It should be remem-
bered that last year was an exceptional
potato year, for Aroostook and for othe
sections of the State. The drouth during
the period of ripening and harvesting was
just what was needed to ensure crop Of
the highest quality. With frequent rains
and intervening hot weather there would
have been rot to contend with and the
keeping quality of the tubers would have
been impaired. This may not be a'potato
year, and another thing to be taken into
consideration is that the good prices real
lied last year will lead to the planting of
largely increased acreage everywhere
this season.

President Calvin Austin of the Eastern
Steamship Company has relieved Belfast
from very embarrassing situation by
declining to receive set of colors, or
other offering, from the city for the new
steamer Belfast, or to have any cere-
monies on her arrival at this port. She
will be detained here long enough on her
first trip to enable those who wish to
inspect the new steamer and then pro-
coed on her way up river. Under differ
ent local conditions set of colors would
have been subscribed for and ordered by
the citizens of Belfast long ago, and
accepted as matter of course, and
there would have been such other rec
ognition of the compliment paid our city
as the occasion might call for. But
under existing conditions that could not
be done at this time. Later Belfast may
find opportunity to show her appreciation
of the honor conferred on her.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

It need not be supposed that even feminine fashions can evolve some thing new under the sun.
 A learned Egyptian diseloses that the sheath gown was popular among the ladies of the Nile fifteen centur- ies before the Christian era. One gown was made of fine linen adorned with elaborate designs.
 The professor thinks that the slit in the side was intended to display the wearer's precious anklets.
 These ancient ladies also dressed their hair elaborately with puffs and padding. They painted their faces and lips, as shown by rouge and pom ade jars.
 All of this is reassuring to man, who may have thought that some of the modern developments of the dress maker were without precedent in their eccentricity.
 Once more is demonstrated the fit complying of the words "eternal" and "feminine."

OUR BAREFooTED DAYS.

Poets may sing them in their sweet est songs, artists paint them in the brightest colors, and our memories may deceive us regarding the days of long ago, when we were boys or the farm or in the village, but sober reflection, with the glamour omitted leads to the belief that more myths date back only a score or so Of years than stretch to the days when the world was in its infancy. How many of us of mature years had the comforts. much less the conveniences, of modern life? The great majority grew up without street car service, without gas or electric light, without steam radiators in our rooms, with out the telephone and without an abundant water supply for the kitchen and bath.
 The old swimming hole sounds TO- mantle, and there were many days of bliss. But the boy of today has so many other sources of pleasure and delight that he would scorn the swim ming hole. It is by contrast that pleasures are derived. The lad of forty years ago was forced to get up at daybreak, go out into the dew laden pasture and drive in the horses and cows; he had to carry in wood and in some cases start the kitchen fire; and some of us were required to do part of the milking.
 When we were fortunate enough to find a nice red apple after the holidays it was a treat indeed; when a half dozen oranges were brought from the grocer S.. it meant a delight that was not forgotten for days. In- stead of going to see the best actors and actresses of the age, the lad of our memory was supremely happy at the thought of going to see the circus once a year. It was an anticipation that surpasses anything within the range of possibilities today. a
 What were at one time comforts ! almost beyond belief have now be- come necessities, while our conven- fences have multiplied many fold and luxuries are steadily growing in num- ber.. Would you take them in pref erenee to being a boy of the pres ent day7 Most of us would not.

MURDERER CAUHT
 AFTER LON GCHASE.
From Thursdays paily)

fFTOIn PuuESOdVE Oa1LD Telephone advices reached Prescott
 yesterday afternoon that Pedro Ma
 rin, who shot and killed Jesus Wen
 des at Congress Junction on Monday,
 had been captured at Peoria, by
 Sheriff Smith and Deputy Tovrea.
 The chase was a long and exciting
 one, and after once finding the trail
 of Marin the officers never lost it or desisted in the effort to run him down.
 The advices received also stated that the prisoner would reach Pres colt this morning on the early train. The capture was effected through the clever work of Sheriff Smith and his deputy, J. c. Tovrea, and Marin had no chance to resist.
 Additional particulars have reached this city of the crime, and it would appear that the murder was most eold-blooded. Marin and his victim were employed as section laborers on the s. F. P. & P, and up to the commission of the crime no i'll feel ing had existed between them as far as was known. About six o'clock on the evening of the killing, they were seen together. Later they pro- cured a bottle of whiskey. A short time afterward an altercation took place between them. This was i'm mediately followed by hearing two pistol shots and the flight of Marin from the scene. An examination showed that Wendes was hit both times, one bullet passing through the upper part of his left shoulder and another entering his left breast about an inch below the heart. This was the fatal wound. He was taken to | the bunk house and Dr. Daly of Con gress summoned. Everything pos sible was done by this physician. At about two o'clock in the morning Wendes was suddenly stricken with a sinking spell and failed to rally.
 Fortunately a few hours after his death Sheriff Smith was returning to Prescott from Phoenix, and on ar irving at Congress Junction was in- formed of the crime Aeeompan- jed by Ed. Bustamente and Charles Tovrea, he gave pursuit.
 The tracks of Marin were found few miles away from where he had killed his companion, and led into Wickenburg. From that point it is believed he boarded the rain, as man answering his de- 'cription was put off at Hot Springs Junction. From that point he fol- owed the railroad a few hundred yards distant until Peoria was reach d and where he was captured.
