RESCUED FROM A
BURNING AUTOMOBILE

New York.-John Hanan, wealthy
shoe manufacturer, and his wife were
rescued in a thrilling manner from
their burning automobile in front of
the Metropolitan opera house, where
the Lambs club was giving its gam
Dol last night.
Their car had just stopped at the
entrance, being one in a long train of
automobiles, when the car behind
suddenly plunged forward and shat
tered the gasoline tank of the Hanan
machine. The gasoline caught fire,
spreading flames throughout the
street and enveloping the automobile
and attracting a crowd of several
thousand people. The police reserves
and the fire department were called
out.
While the fire was shooting up all
about the Hanan car policeman
opened the door and first took Mr..
Hanan out. Then with Mr.. Hanan's
assistance they lifted Mrs. Hanan
across the lake like fire. The automo-
bile was almost consumed before
the flames were extinguished.

INVENTS WIRELESS SYSTEM
THAT WILL PRINT MESSAGES

Christiania.-Captain Howland OF
the Norwegian navy has Invented a
remarkable system of automatically
recording wireless telegraph mes
sages in print. His apparatus has just
been shown the representatives Of the
Norwegian government and the presA
at Melsomvik.
On this occasion messages were ex-
changed between a station erected
after the inventors own designs and
a Norwegian wireless station 12 1-2
miles away at Tjomo. Captain How
land demonstrated how by his sys-
them the absolute secrecy of wireless
kilograms could be preserved, and
how the ordinary signals could be au-
tomatically transformed into secret
written characters.
With the aid of "tabulator," con-
structed much on the plan of an or
dinary typewriter, the signals are dis
patched and the telegram arrives
printed at the receiving station either
in ordinary or secret characters, ac-
cordlng to the senders wish. The
Norwegian naval authorities, at
whose disposal Captain Howland has
placed his invention. have agreed to
support 1t financially.

INSTANT RELIEF
FROM DREAD CATARRH

Why don't you get rid of that nasty,
humiliating disease catarrh,
You can do it If you really want to.
But you can't cure catarrh in a
few days, that's an utter impossible
ity, because there is no remedy known
that will kill the catarrh germs in
that short time.
But you can cure catarrh If you
will have little patience and
breathe in Hyomei pronounced High
o-me) three or four times a day.
Hyomei cures catarrh by killing
the germs and it kills the germs be-
cause it gets where the germs are.
Hyomei is a powerful antiseptic
and germ killer air; it Is made from
the fluid extracted from the eucalyp-
tus trees Of inland Australia where ca
tarrh has never existed.
It gives relief instantly, stops
hawking in a few days and Is guar
anteed to cure catarrh, asthma, Group
and bronchitis or money back. A
complete outfit, including inhaled
costs $1.00, and extra bottles of Hy-
omei If afterwards needed, cost but
so cents. Sold by leading druggists
everywhere.

deserves and merits. There Is moth
ing too strong for me to say regard

TWO ATTEMPT SUICIDE
AT SAME MOMENT

New York.-At the same moment
that a young man hurled himself
from the Riverside Drive viaduct over
the intersection of 129th and Man
haitian streets. before daylight today,
young woman attempted to leap
from the Recreation Pier, a block
away from the viaduct, into the North
river The man. whose identity has
not been established, was instantly
killed by the plunge of more than one
hundred feet to the street pavement,
The young woman, who was caught
before she could leap and who de-
scribed herself as Grace Anthony, 22
years old, of Brooklyn, insisted that
she did not know the suicide and that
his act had no connection with hers.
In pocket of the suicide was found
note addressed to Dearest Lily"
declaring his love for her, his ina
bility to live without her. and his in
tention to kill himself.
"In the great hereafter social po-
stion will not keep us apart" he
wrote. 1--WE will all be equal then"
The note was signed John"
Grace Anthony said she had sought
death because she was alone in the
world and without money. The fact
that she was well dressed leads the
police to believe there is some mystery
attached to her identity.

CALEDON|ANS GET
READY FOR PICNIC

H. A. Barrett. secretary of the Uma-
tilla county Caledonia society is send
ing out invitations to the annual pic
mic of the society which is to be held
at Athena, June and 5. Barrett is
also authority for the statement that
this years event is to be bigger and
better than ever before" as the cir
Gus press agent says
One of the chief things to con-
tribute to the success of the picnic
this year will be the fact that it is to
be held in the city Park" Though
this beautiful grove has always been
within few PAGES of the Main street,
it has never been available for picnics
or celebrations of any kind hereto-
fore. Recently however it changed
hands and has now been fitted up as
park and is considered one of the
best. if not the best place in the coun-
ty for the holding of picnic or any
similar event.
The Caledonians always go in for
a good time at their affairs and in the
past, hundreds of people have gone
up from Pendleton and vicinity while
still other hundreds have come in
from other directions. With the ad-
ded attractions and better accommo-
dations it is expected that this years
crowds will eclipse all former ones.
Strong programs are being ar
ranged for both days. AS usual the
old Scottish dances and athletic events
will be the chief attractions, though
two good baseball games and other
American sports will be intermingled
The Caledonians propose to make this
two-day celebration the one chief hol-
iday event of the year.

Some of Wheat Growers Expecting
From Fifty to Sixty Bushels to the
Acre-Dry Weather has Been Fa-

Artesian Wells in This Section-Ar-
tesian Conditions Promising.
Special Correspondence.l }

N'PCNAoA WI
Athena, Ore, May 27.-This part
OF Umatilla county had a heavy rain
lasting through the afternoon, yester-
day, and a great part Of last night
The rain came at a very good time
as it was much needed by the
wheat farmers. The wheat crop is
looking exceptionally well and with
this rain a bumper crop is practically
assured for this section of the coun-
try. Some of the heaviest wheat far
mers here are looking for fifty to
sixty bushels per acre. In fact they
claim that the recent dry weather is
favorable to a big yield as it has
caused the wheat to grow less straw
and that the growth from this time
on will be grain growth.
The people of Athena are looking
forward to the digging of an artes-
ian we'll in or near the city. Arrange
ments have been made with Mr.. Dur
ant, practical well man from the
Walla Walla valley, where he has
three large machines at work, to come
to Athena this week with view of To-
eating we'll here. The majority of
the citizens here think that artesian
water can be had. Some years ago a
we'll was put down to depth of some
200 feet and water was obtained with
sufficient pressure to force it within
about seven feet of the surface. This
together with the geological conditi-
ons that exist here lend encourage
ment to the experiment.

Milton, May 26.-That P. n, Saep-
hens, Milton's recently appointed
marshall, is no respector of persons,
and that he intends to enforce the let
ter of the law proven this morning
when, after having been in office less
than "a hours he turned into the city
treasury more money from fines and
licenses than has been received from
a similar source during the past five
months, part of which was paid by
a member of the city council, for al
lowing his COW to be caught in the
streets.
Those citizens who have not paid
their poll tax and those with members
of the canine family running loose on
which there are no tags, are begin
ming to take notice and many have al
ready paid what has been due the
city for some time. The greatest
source of revenue so far has been from
pounding loose cows There is a
strict ordinance against allowing these
animals loose in the streets OF public
grounds of the city, and it appears to
be the intention of the new officer to
see that these laws are obeyed.
Another matter which seems to at
tract the attention of the marshal
is the condition of some of the side
walks in the city and the edict has
gone out that these must receive i'm
mediate attention.
Salesday Successful
Milton's first salesday occasion,
held here this afternoon was pro-
nounced by all who attended to be a

articles sold was not so large as it
would have been had it not been a new

TRUTH ABOUT CAIARRn,
Sensible Methods Will Cure it. [.
P. Van Werden Guarantees nyo-
mel to Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX
ing medicines into the stomach nor
by sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long
ago discarded such ideas and not one
of them would be worth consideration
were it not for the fact that unscrup-
ulous- persons prey upon the ignor-
ance of the people in regard to new
discoveries.
Cartarrh is caused by germs and
just as long as these germs thrive in
the folds, crevices, hooks and corners
of the mucous membrane that lines
the nose, throat and chest, just so
long will you have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure
catarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets whore
the germs are, and that is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from AUS
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing
antiseptics. Just breathe it through
the hard rubber inhaler that comes
with each outfit and relief is immed-
late. Used regularly for few weeks
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
will cure chronic catarrh. Complete
outfit 100 at L. P. Van Werden's,
and leading druggists everywhere.
