Peter o. knight, the we'll known
attorney, charged by Rev, j. D. Lewis
with felOniously procuring and coun-
selling q voter to cast an Illegal vote
at the election held on the Sth of the
month, arraigred for prelimary ex-
animation before Judge w. S. Ora
ham,in this city today, says a special
from Tampa. There was no evidence
to support the charges and Mr. knight
was discharged by the court after
some half dozen witnesses had been
examined.
Col. knight, on the stand. in his
own behalf, declared that he had
taken no active interest in the cleo
tion in question: Albeit he was a
local optionist and he declared that
his visiting the several polling places
in the city in the afternoon of cleo
ton day was merely to see how many
votes had been polled at each poll
ing place. At the precinct in ques-
ton he had just arrived, when he
was attracted by the man Spicola
waving his poll tax receipts about.
and he had asked Senator Mcmillan
why the man had been refused to
vote.
He detailed that at this juncture
couuClluldu Tullllp IlCGld mao come
to him and had declared that Spicola
had always voted in that precinct,
that the man had his poll taxes paid
and still resided in the district, but
that the registration book which
they were using was so badly mixed
UP that it was impossible to locate
names of a number of the voters
claiming their right to ballot In
view Of these premises Mr. knight
declared that in his opinion the man
could make oath in the fact that he
was an old resident of the~ precinct,
had paid his poll taxes, had voted

knight declared he then left the poll

cola had been allowed, to vote or
not. He declared that he did not
know Spicola, that he did not talk
to him directly and that he said moth

man.
He declared that the men who
drew up the affidavit against him if

RECEIVE S7o6.3s.

Washington. Nov. 24-For the fs-
cal year ended June 30 last. the Unit.
Cd States department of agriculture
announces, the % per cent of nationa!
forest revenue which will go to the
states for road and school purposes
amounted to $506,194.84. This was
$67,492.03 more than last year. or an
increase of little over Is per cent.
The payments are an Offset to the
loss OF income from taxable property
sustained through withdrawal of the
forest land from entry under the pub
Nc land laws.
The amounts which will go to the
various states are as follows: Arr

California. $60.752.91: Colorado. $780,.

Utah. $32.905.49; Washington, $685.
671.S9; Wyoming, $34,70454.
Noteworthy is the especially heavy
increase over the amounts last year
In certain states. In California the
amount rose by over 25 per cent, in
Idaho by over 35 per cent and IN
Oregon by nearly so per cent. The
increases are the result of increased
activity In national forest timber
sales in these states and are an
earnest Of what will happen as the
timber supply which the government is
caring for comes into full demand.
Since the cut of timber will always
be limited to what the forests will
keep on growing the income to the
states will be permanent, not tran
STORY, as would have been the case
II hasty and improvident exploitation
had been permitted. According to the
calculations Of the department Of
agriculture ofIicials the states will
eventually receive many times what
the forests are now yielding them, for
there is as yet on the whole only a
very restricted demand for the govern
ments timber.

YOU will not only engage, but you will
own outright little catarrh doctor
that has cured more cases of catarrl
than all the catarrh specialists on
earth.
In the $100 box which contains the

Into this inhaler you pour a few
drops Of Hyomei. Then all you have
to do Is breathe through the little In

When you breathe HYOMEI you

penetrates every fold and crevice and
destroys germs completely.
Stomach dosing never cured ca.
tarrh, sprays and douches always fail
