VANDALISM
The Hayes Monument in Spotsylvania
County Disfgured

1t was learned here through Mr. Gil
bert Hayes, of Sewickley, Pa, that
yandals had attempted to wreck the
monument erected several years ago to
the memory of his father, Gen. Alex
ander Hayes, of Civil War fame, on
Brock road in Spotsylvania county. Mr..
Hayes after visiting the monument
Sunday stated that the parties, who
ever they are, had pushed the seventy
five pound cannon ball from the top of
the shaft, had thrown pile of old lum-
Der and rubbish over the iron fence, en-
closing the monument and had in other
ways attempted to destroy the proper
ty. The cannon ball was firmly cemen-
ted to top Of the monument, which is
more than eighteen feet high, and in
order to disturb it, il was first necessary
to climb the shaft and loosen the ce-
ment.
Under the laws Of Virginia the pen
atty for vandalism Of this character is
severe and if the guilty parties are To-
Gated they will be prosecuted. Mr..
Hayes has arranged to have the dam
age repaired and has employed a care
taker, who will look out for the monu-
ment in the future. The matter will
be reported to the county officials, who
will also be asked 10 keep lookout for
acts of this nature.
The monument, which is located about
twelve miles from this city on Brock
Road, was erected several years ago
with imposing ceremonies, which were
attended by all the living relatives of
the soldier 1t marks the spot on which
Gen. Hayes fell mortally wounded dur
ing the battle Of the Wilderness.

MAURICE AND VIM. STRASBURGER
Not Allowed to Vote-Take Legal Ac-
tion TO Establish Their Rights.

Messrs. Maurice and William Stras-
burger, who were engaged in business
here before the city went dry, went to
Baltimore and established the firm of
Strasburger Bros. The father and
mother of these young men are still
living here and Mr. Strasburger is en-
gagged in business on Commerce street.
These young men are not married, have
paid their capitation taxes here and
are not registered elsewhere. They
say they recognize Fredericksburg as
their home. They came here to vote
Tuesday. They went into the Upper
Ward voting place to vote as usual
when that right was refused them by
Judges Chesley and Bell. They ap-
peaied to the Judge of the court, who
stated that they had perfect right to
vote and also stated if the judges of
election requested his opinion he would
give it to them. They went back, but
the Judges were firm and said they
would not make application for the
opinion and the young men were denied
a vote.
They have consulted legal advice and
will take steps to test the legality of
the action of the judges.

It's Really Pleasure to Cure Catarrh
by Breathing Hyomei.

II isn't pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to shock
the tender membrane of the nose and
throat with disagreeable sprays and
douches.
But strange to say there are few
thousands people who do not keep
abreast of the times who are hoping
against hope that these ancient methods
will rid them of catarrh.
If the readers of Fredericksburg who
suffer from catarrh want to Danish this
vile and disgusting disease forever go
to Goolrick's Pharmacy today and get
a complete Hyomei pronounced High
o-me) outfit for $l.00.
If it doesn't cure it won't cost you
cent, because Goolrick's Pharmacy will
give you your money back.
Hyomei is so simple and pleasant TO
use; pour few drops from the bottle
into the inhaler and breathe it in. AS 1t
passes over the membrane and into the
lungs with the air you breathe it soothes
the raw membrane and kills the catarrh
germs. Don't experiment longer.
Leading druggists everywhere sell Hy-
omei for catarrh, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, etc. Drop postal for our free

symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.

''The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use Of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely TO cause 1t.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
GAS chronic gastritis (catarrh OF the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state Of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (Ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is COM
mon occurrence.
"Pain is nos common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri-
tating character.

Also after meals. Sickness to the stom-
ach frequent and persistent.
