Wheeler OR SNEEZER?
Have You Heard of Hyomei for Catarrh,
Asthma and Hay Fever?

If you wheeze or sneeze, hawk or
spit, shuttle or blow, something is the
matter with the membrane of your res
piratory tract, and you need Hyomei.
And you need Hyomei because it will
cure you of any catarrhal or infam-
matory condition that exists.
1t isn't a stomach medicine, or spray,
or douche, but a very pleasant, healing,
antiseptic balsam. from the eucalyptus
forests of Australia. You breathe this
balsamic air through a small, hard rub
Der inhaler, and it reaches every nook,
corner and crevice of the membrane,
and promptly kills the catarrh germs.
S. L. Raines will sell you a complete
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me) outfit
for $1.00, on the moneyback plan.
"The use of Hyomei cured Mr.. Cutler
of catarrh in 1904. He has strongly en-
dorsed the use of Hyomei in many in
stances, and we are glad to go on re-
cord regarding this marvellous catarrh
cure, and endorse it."-Mrs. A. Cutler,

DEATHS.


Ernest Chrisman Ball, aged 81,
the youngest son of the late Dudley
Mitchum and Joanna G. Ball, of Yer
saiIIes, died at Hot Springs, Ark,
Saturday morning, where he had been
under treatment for five months.
Three years ago while attending a
horse show in Louisville. he had a
severe attack of blood poisoning,
which permeated his entire system,
gradually causing paralysis.
His sister had been with him and
only since last Sunday he had been
confined to his bed. His death came
as a great blow to his family, the
affection existing between the brothers
being especially marked. He was the
junior member of the Ball Bros, noted
horsemen throughout the State.
The deepest sympathy is felt for the
mother and sisters, Mrs. d. l.. Moore,
OF Harrodsburg, Mrs. Josie Ball Har-
ris, and Mrs. Charlton Alexander. of
this city, and his brothers, john Dud-
ley and Howard Ball.

Fruit Crop Damaged.

The frost and slight freeze Of Friday
night did some damage to fruit and
those pear, plum and peach trees that
were in bloom were injured and the
tiny fruit killed, but as the trees were
not in full bloom yet this slight freeze
will not impair the crop seriously.
While it has been predicted that
there will be heavy crop of fruit in
this section of the country, apples are
a notable exception.
The apple bud forms during the
month of August and September, but
as it was so dry at that period last
year it was impossible for these buds
to thrive. In some instances where
the trees were in fertile soil they will
bear, but other trees will not blossom
and their sweet fragrance, mixed with
the perfume of the other fruit trees,
will be absent this spring.

The Paris Grand.

Last week, the first week of the
Paris Grand under the new manage
ment was great success, notWith-
standing that it was holy week, the
attendance was all that could be ex-
pected. The vaudeville acts were way
above the ordinary and gave general
satisfaction.
Last night the house opened with an
entire change of program including
that droll black-faced comedian Sam
Hood, The Man from Kentucky. 4"
Mr.. Hood is an original fun producer
and his act is scream from start to
finish. The Earle sisters in a singing,
dancing and character change act, have
something that is different and will
please those liking a refined act with
good costumes. The motion pictures
are always good and the illustrated
song Billy Dear" made quite a hit
with the audience. If the perform
ances thus far are fair sample of the
entertainment to be presented by the
new management, it is needless to say
that each and every change will prove
great drawing card.
There will be new reel Of pictures
each night, with an entire change OF
vaudeville Tor thursday night. Leon
ard & Hamilton will present something
novel IN 1.-The Mimic World or Stage
Reviews. in this neat little act they
will give their own version of noted
stage stars in their own creations
The act was at Heuck S ltheater, Gin
cinnati, during the past week and made
a great hit.
1t has been quite while since a He
brew comedian of real merit has been
seen in Pals, but Morris Abrams, who
will present his original act at the
Grand, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
has made quite record among the fol-
lowers Of variety as Hebrew come
dian, who is REALLY worth while. .
His parodies are said to be convulsing-
ly funny. With such a bill as the
above the Grand will no doubt be the
mecca for amusement hunters this
week.

BLUE GRASS LEAGUE NOTES.


The first real practice work of the
season at the ball park took place yes
terday when fourteen of the twenty
players showed up during the morning
hours having arrived Sunday and on
the early morning trains. Those who
came in were infielders Putnam, BardO.
Keechle. and Bell, outfielders Reed and
King and first baseman Parrish.
Two hours of faithful work was put
in, Manager Elgin coaching his men
with signal eye to their rounding up
IN form for the opening two weeks
hence. Quick snappy ball was played
for two hours, most of the men demon
strating that they were not novices on
ball field.
Quite crowd Of fans gathered to
witness the initial stunts and speculate
upon the merits of the players. Dr..
w. G. USSery, Vice President of the
club, was an interested spectator and
believes that Manager Elgin has got
ten together as promising a lot Of
young ball players as is possible for a
club just entering the league. The
remainder Of the players are expected
in today when five inning practice
games will take place daily between
the Vets and the Colts.
The grand stand, bIeachers and high
board fence around the enclosure will
be completed by Thursday and every
thing will be in readiness for the ex-
hibition games which precede the open
ing of the season. The grand stand
will contain seven boxes capable of
seating six persons, the one in the
center being reserved for representa-
r. L. n~o11T,,r.
the players are provided beneath the
grand stand, while daily the diamond
and outfield is carefully receiving every
attention to make the surface smooth
for scientific ball playing.

Beneficial to Education.

That the Maine Legislature of 1903
enacted some important educational
legislation is shown by the follow
ing summary which has been prepared
by State Supt. Smith OF the public
schools of Maine:
1t increased to three mills the
State tax for the support of common
schools. On the basis of the new
law the State will annually distribute
beginning in 1911 about 81, 800, 900 to
the towns and cities of the State to be
expended for common schools.
1t increased the minimum number
of weeks that towns must support
schools from twenty to 28.
1t increased the requirements for
high schools raising likewise the
amount of State aid TO these institu-
tions and providing for visitation and
inspection under the direction of the
State superintendent of schools.
1t added an educational require
ment to the compulsory education
law authorizing school committees to
compel school attendance to the
seventeenth birthday unless a mini
mum educational test can be met.
1t established new State Normal
school making the total number of
such institutions five. 1t also made
liberal increase for the support of
these schools making possible the
extension of courses in manual train
ing and agriculture already intro
duced and the establishment of rural
model schools.
1t passed a law providing for State
approval of plans of new school build
ings and also fixed minimum stand
ard in respect to protection against
fire.
1t provided for the more liberal
support by the State of the common
schools in unorganized townships and
for the payment by the State of the
secondary school tuition of pupils
resident of these townships.
1t passed medical inspection act
which authorizes towns to provide
for the appointment of school physi-
clans. This act also provides for
sight and hearing tests of public
school pupils.
1t endorsed and strengthened the
law previously enacted providing for
expert school supervision by. raising
the standard of requirements upon
superintendents and by extending the
provision of the act to all towns and
cities of the State.
1t created school equalization fund
for the aid OF the towns assessing
themselves for the support of com
mon schools in excess of four mills on
the doliax.
1t provided additional aid to acad-
emies Offering courses in manual
training, domestic science and agri-
culture.
1t made provision for a special in
vestigation of the needs of the State
in respect to system of industrial
education.
It provided for the payment of
teachers salaries at the close of each
school month.
Under the terms of the initiative
and referendum none of these enact
ments are effective until about
July /.
The total appropriations for all
educational purposes made by the
legislature of 1909, exclusive of in
stitutions for detectives and delin-
quents including the three mill tax +,
high school and academy aid, expert
school supervision and special appro-
priations for academies, colleges,
etc., amount to approximately ST.
100000 for 1909 and to 81, 1850, 900 for

4 STARTLING Statement.
New York Medical Authorities
Claim Dyspepsia Causes Con-
sumption.

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due to
unchecked dyspepsia, especially when
the victim was predisposed to tuber-
culosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nourish-
ment, constipation ensues and the
victim becomes thin, weak and hag-
gard. AS result, the body becomes
fertile field for the germs of disease
to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most insid
ious and fatal diseases known to man
kind.
Dyspepsia is durable If properly
treated. F. w. Bucknam sells rem
edy which they positively guarantee
will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or
they will pay for all the medicine
used during the trial. This remedy is
an absolutely new medical discovery
and has been named Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets. Certainly no offer could be
II ore fair, and the offer of F. w. Buck
nam is proof positive that Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are dependable and
infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the
medicine will cost you nothing II 1t
does not benefit you we urge you who
are suffering with indigestion or dys-
pepsia to try this remedy. A twenty
five cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets contains enough medicine for
fifteen days. treatment. Remember
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only
sold in Skowhegan by F. w. Bucknam.

The complaint of Maine apple grow
ers who shipped many thousand bar
rels to Walter Mills of Boston, upon
a written guarantee from him that he
would obtain good prices in the Lon
don market, resulted last week in
Mills conviction after lengthy trial
on the charge of using the mails in a
scheme to defraud. The government
claims that Mills obtained between
$40, 900 and $4,000 from the sale of
Maine apples without accounting in
any way to the growers. In the trial
which lasted nearly two weeks in the
United States district court, wit
nesses, mostly apple growers, came
from Harrison, Auburn, Oakland,
Monmouth, Manchester, Newport,
Madison, Sidney, Oxford, Naples,
South Waterford, Livermore Falls,
Limington and other places in Maine
Mills is the son of John Mills, a

will be sentenced next week, and it

Keith's Boston Theatre.

In the bill at Keith's Theatre for
the week of April 26th there will be
two well known stars of the legiti-
mate. The first is. Andrew Mack, the
Irish comedian and singer, who will
appear in a sketch supported by an
excellent company, which will give
him an opportunity to sing some of
his latest Irish successes. The other
is Ben Johnson, who made one of the
greatest hits of recent years in "Paid
In Full" Mr.. Johnson will do a
monologue which is entirely original
and more or less of departure from
those who have proceeded him in this
line of work in vaudeville. He has
already made distinct success of it
in New York, in fact created a sensa
tion there. His appearance at
Keith's will be an event of interest
for thousands of friends who have ad
mired him in his legitimate work here.
