CURES CATARRH.
Antiseptic, Healing, Mentholatum
Quickly Kills Catarrh Germs.


Catarrhal troubles can be cured
only by an antiseptic treatment
that kills both the catarrhal germs
and soothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane.
Apply little Mentholatum to the
nasal passages at night and while
you sleep the treatment does it's
healing work and at the same time
kills the catarrhal germs. It's ac-
ton is almost immediate; the first
nights treatment gives you great re-
lief.
You can buy rs cent jar of
Mentholatum from any druggist
with guarantee of money back if it
does not do all that is claimed for
it. This is the most economical
treatment for catarrh that was ever
known as one package will last two
weeks or more. Every home should
have a jar of Mentholatum as it is
invaluable for all cases of infama-
ito, soreness, etc.

Death of Mrs. Lester S. Richards.
Mrs. Lester S. Richards passed
away Monday evening, Sept. rs, af-
ter an illness of about three weeks
of paresis. Her condition did not
become alarming until Saturday
evening after which she failed rap
idly. Harriette Lorella Batchelder
was born in Charlestown, Mass,
August 81, 1849, a daughter of
James Wright and Mary Ann Ins
gals Batchelder. She was one of a
family of six children and is surviv-
ed by one sister, Mrs. Calista Cook
of Brattleboro, a brother, Isaac
Batchelder of New York and half
brother, George Batchelder of Lyn-
donville. Her home was at Charles
town, Mass, until about IL years of
age when she came to live in Yer
mont, and it is here that most of her
later years have been spent. On July
4, 1873 she was married to William
Haviland. To them were born three
children, two dying in infancy. She
is survived by one son, Stephen G.
Haviland of this place with

wrote asking him to remain in that
country. The city magistrates Of Bir-
mingham got up a petition requesting
DR.. Jowett to stay in that city. and he
was overwhelmed with letters from
all over England. advancing reasons
why he should remain.
Born in Yorkshire. DR.. .Iowett was
educated at Edinburgh university and
Mansfield college. Oxford. He was
pastor OF the Newcastle-on-Tyne
church from 1889 until 1896. when he
accepted the call to succeed the cele-
brated DR.. Dale at Carr's Lane Con-
gregational church. While in Birming-
ham he started and supervised the
Digbeth institute, located in a poor
part of the city. and to aid in that
work his congregation responded to his
appeal with a donation of $125,OO

CHAPTER XIV.

ON TIE KNEES OF THE HIGH GODS.
EFT was on the evening of the day
y following the safe blowing in
M Blount's offices in the Temple
court building that a one car
special train slipped unostentatiously
into the capital from the east, running
as second section of the overland.
Coincident with it's s~idetracking,
'O'Brian, the vice presidents secretary,
dropped from the step Of the car and
made his way across the tracks in the
yard to the nearest railroad telephone,
which CHANGED to be in the yardmas-
ter'S Office.
Fifteen minutes later the result Of
O'Brian's t%elephoning became evident.
sGantry and Kittredge, the division SUI
perintendent, left their respective Of
fees in the railroad building, met in
the echoing train shed and walked to-
gether down the yards.
The vice president, sitting at the
great table in the open compartment
which served him as a desk in work
ing hours. looked up and nodded when
his two subordinates entered.
You got my message?" he queried.
Gantry answered for both. eyes,
land we were waiting. Your orders
have been carried out. Nobody out
side of the. dispatcher's Office and the
few men in the yard crew knows that
you are here"
Mr.. McVickar sat back in his chair.
took n Of the large black cigars
from the open box on the table and
passed the box across to his two SUBJ
alterns.
Light up be said tersely. II am
due in Twin Canyon City tomorrow
morning. and we've got to thrash this
thing out in a hurry. Any change in
the situation since your last report?"
Gantry shook his head. Nothing
very important. Blount's uptown Of
fees were broken into last night. and
his safe was ripped open with dyna-
mite. That's all"
"Well," said the big man at the ia
bile, what came of it,"
Nothing SO far as any one can find
out"
To a disinterested observer it might
have seemed a little curious that the
vice president made no further inquiry
into the safe blowing. AS a matter Of
fact, his next question completely ig-
nored it.
what has Blount been doing this
week?" he asked.
Z HE has spoken twice, once at Ari-
quipa and once at Hellersville. Col
Inns says he has engagements enough
to keep him out Of town right up to
election day"
THAT'S good" was the nodded APP
prevail. He'd only be in the way here
at the capital"
"That young mar has been pretty
nearly a FROST" remarked Kittredge
casually. 'If he isn't a wild eyed
fanatic. as Gantry here insists he is,
he is deepsn han the deep blue sea.
I've been keeping tab on him, as you
directed, and he has worn out three
Of my best Office men trying to keep
cases on him."
"You are prejudiced, Kittredge,"
was the vice presidents comment. "It
was the best move in the entire cam
paign putting him in the field. I don't
suppose he has accomplished much In
a practical way. but we have kept the
Honorable Dave from using him, as he
meant to-"
II don't know about the accomplish
ment," put In Gantry. There is a

speechmaking business. At first I
thought Evan Biount's sudden popu.
slarity dated back to some word sent
out from your Chicago Office. but when

stop to speculate upon this.
Having something more than a sus-
picion that Gantry vas not passing
his threat Of exposure up to Mcvickar.
he determined at once to seek an in
terview with the vice president.
Walking rapidly down to the Sierra
avenue station, he saw a light in Can
try's office. and, meaning to be fair first
and severe afterward, If needful. he
ran up the stair and tried the door of
the traffic managers Office. 1t opened
under his hand. Gantry was at his
desk.
"Ranlett tells me that McVickar is
in town." he began abruptly. "Where
is he?"
"Ranlett is mistaken-about twenty
minutes mistaken" was Gantry's re-
ply. 'Mr. McVickar passed through
here a few minutes ago on his way to
Twin Canyon City. His special has
been gone some little time"
when is he coming back?"
II don't know"
"Did you see him?"
81 did"
Did you take up with him the mat
ter of issuing new tariffs-to do away
with the preferentials or to level the
public rates down to them?'
Gantry shifted uneasily in his chair
and tried to evade. There was very
little time" he said. MIR. McVickar
was in a great hurry, and his special
was held only a few minutes"
Blount crossed the room and sat
down.
Dick. we've come to the last round
up" he said gravely. I'm the nature
of things | can't give you any more
time. You've got to do something and
do it quickly. Let's go up and see the
editor Of the Capital"
what for?" demanded Gantry.
Il want you to give him an inter-
view to the effect that a revision of
the freight rates is in process and
that shippers having grievances should
present themselves at once. That will
at least start the ball to rolling in the
right direction"
Il should think it would,' scoffed the
traffic manager. "What YOU don't
know about the making of freight tar
IFS would sink a ship, Evan. These
things can't be done while you wait"
but they've got to be in this in
stance" Blount insisted. eff you don't
withdraw the preferentials given to
the corporations you must do the other
thing. Post your legal notice of a re-
duction of the rates on the commodities
upon which you are now allowing re-
bates. and I'll fight straight through on
the line I've been taking"
And if we don't?" queried Gantry,

there will be an explosion. just as I've
told you. OF IFS you know that
my safe was broken open last night

been taken or destroyed didn't happen
to be in the safe. The documents are
still where they can be used at a mo-
ment's notice. And. Dick, I'll use my
ammunition if you don't play fair"

a fault in a business affair. was not al
together superhuman.

Night.

Along the high-hedged lane John
Strong swung, the June cleaning
deepening into night He loved to
shove his face into the night; he
gloried in tie uncertainty of night,
the Indebtedness of night, and his
soul cried back wild answer to the
cry Of the. righthawk and the owl.
Night is more primitive than day,
night is more calamitous, night is a
savage, night everywhere is the true
aborigine. Day has taken on civiliza-
ton; night hurls the world back to
the day of tie war-club, the flint ar
rowhead, the painted visage. John
Strong loved the night with an al
most malevolent love. In the night
he could hear the Valkyries scream
ing, the witches riding their broom
sticks, the ghouls scraping the mold
from off the new-buried coffin. John
Strong swung along, lis face set to
meet oncoming night.-Adventure.
