Proctor left his impress. The possi-
bility of war with Spain stirred him
deeply and reused him to character
istic action. The debates preceding
the declaration of war against Spain
showed such lack of authoritative in
formation of existing conditions in
Cuba and as consequence such wide
differences of opinion among senators
adopted by the government that he
was filled with apprehension and with
characteristic forethought and follow
ing lifelong practice to seek the full
est knowledge of underlying conditions
upon which to base his judgment and
action he, on his own responsibility,
at his own expense. sought by per-
sonal visit to Cuba to ascertain the
conditions there existing. When,
upon his return. he gave to the senate
cold, bare, plain statement of what
he had seen and what he had learned,
unaccompanied either by argument or
recommendation. he did it-with such
gravity and such impressiveness that
the facts stated burned themselves
into the mind of every senator present
and, being heralded by the press,
reused the nation to action Many
Vermont people were in the gallery
during the eulogies. but they did not
| include. so far as known, any member
of Senator Proctor's family.

Clergyman Does Awful Crime.

A crime with all the weird aspects
Of the most morbid taste is that of the
murder of Gideon Browning at Adair.
Mich. The murderer was Rev. P. n.
Carmichael. Methodist clergyman in
active service. and it was committed
some time Tuesday night of last week
in the Rattle Run church edifice.
where Carmichael preached. The com.
mission of the crime was discovered the
next day by a man who visited the
church and found blood everywhere,
with evidences of a fearful struggle.
The authorities were notified and on
examining the interior of the two wood
heating stoves the bones of human
being were identified. 1t was known
that Carmichael had been to the church
that night, and for q time he vas
supposed to be the victim. but den
list identified the teeth as those of
Gideon Browning, a carpenter and
crony of the minister. and, button
belonging to him was also found in
the stove. The minister's team was
found miles away, and it appeared
that the murder had been done by
Carmichael. who had disposed of his
victim and had then fled in the dark
ness Of early morning. He eluded
pursuit, until Monday morning he was
found to have committed suicide at
Carthage. ILL.,, the night before, at the
place where he had taken board, by
cutting his throat. In his pocket were
found letters to the sheriff and to his
wife which described the crime and
disposition of the body in detail. Car
michael claims that Browning had
hypnotic influence over him and that
the victim led him to the church that
night to display his power. and that
when about to be attacked by him the
clergyman killed him with hatchet.
It appears that the murderer was q
drug fiend.

President Roosevelt dealing with the
secret service issue, the house, by a

if not of improper action. in the pur-
chase Of certain western lands for
feited through congressional enact
ment in which Tillman took part.
Tillman has stated in senate speech
that he had not undertaken to buy,
but secret service men found letters
that he had already written showing
that trade was even then in pro-
CESS. Tillman, in reply before the
senate Monday, denied all wrong do
ing and explained his first statement
by saying that he had not undertaken
in the legal sense to buy, but had
made no secret that he was intending
to do so. Attorney General Bonaparte
has denied some of Tiliman's state
ments. Tillman sent a typewriter
through the mail from his home by
using his frank, but the Washington
postmaster held it up on the ground
that it was an abuse. of the Thanking
privilege, and demanded SIT charges.
Tillman replied that it was common
practice and that he had used the
, machine for public business.

CATARRH CURED
No Cure, No Pay, Is a Most Generous
Offer.

To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs and not destroy
the tissues of the membrane at the
same time. has been a problem which
was never fully solved until the discov-
cry of Hyomei pronounced High.o-me).
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus,
the mostSpowerful yet healing anti
septic known. Breathe it through the
inhaler over the infamed and germ
ridden membrane four or five times a
day, and in a few days the germs will
disappear.
The inflamed condition will go, too,
and the snuffiing, hawking and often
sive breath. and the discharge of mu-
cous and crusts in the nose will cease.
Then why should any catarrh sufferer
hesitate, when Fred D. Pierce has such
faith in Hyomei that he offers to re-
turn your money if after a fair trial
Hyomei does not cure catarrh.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
the inhaler. costs $1.00. and extra bot
ties. If afterwards needed. cost but SO
cents. Hyomei also cures asthma,
Group, sore throat, coughs. colds OF
grip.
