A man in Connecticut gave a doc
tor, a specialist in catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him bottle OF
medicine and told him to use it.
The fool took the medicine home
took one dose, put it on a shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later with the medi-
cine still on the shelf he told friend
that the specialist was a fake; that
he had paid him $50 and still had
catarrh.
HYOMEI pronounce it High-o-
mel won't cure catarrh if you don't
breathe it; it will if you breathe it
regularly.
Furthermore, you don't need to
give catarrh specialist $50 to cure
you of catarrh, for the specialist is
yet to be born who can write a bet
ter prescription than HYOMEI.
G. w. Peil and druggists every
where guarantee HYOMEI to cure
catarrh or money back. A complete
outfit which consists of a bottle of
HYOMEI, a hard rubber inhaler and
simple instructions for use costs only
$1.00. Separate bottles of HYOMEI
if afterwards needed cost but so
cents.

SURPRISES OLE THE LAW.

Gov. Wilson's public utility law into effect
at midnight Sunday amid tremendous applause from
all except those to whom the law applies. Begin
ming yesterday officials politicians great small
pay their fares walk. Nor is this all that is
accomplished by this great reform The Pennsylvania
Railway issues notice that all reduced in New
Jersey annulled by the law forbiddng discrimna
ton. Even clergymen and others accustomed to ex-
pect assistance from the railways must pay just like
politicians, and this early it impossible
tell where the good work will stop. 1t includes troll
leys well steam roads and for all that anybody
can tell it may be influence worth reckoning in
suring the soency of corporations whose bankruptcy
would cause delight among progressives.
Needless to say, nobody expected such result or
wanted it. The gloom throughout New Jersey is gen.
eral, except of course among those who looked out
for themselves when they passed this statute much
like countless others. When Governor Wilson's tame
Legislature passed his law the members excepted
thmselves from its operation, day that the
law directed against everybody else into effect
the railways sent the Secretary transpor
tation for 233 honorables Stockholders may ride
free the railways which their own property
but the makers of the laws may ride for nothing,
though legisating adversely to the interests the
railways and compelling them to give something for
nothing, although they the greatest single tax
paying interest. There may be wailing among those
outside the breastworks, but railways at the same
time that they slammed the gates of every
body else answered satisfactorily the first question
asked by each lawmaker after reading the election re-
turns When do l get my pass?'
Nothing could exceed the surprise with which
the railways learned that the antitrust laws applied
to them unless indeed it the amazement with
which the labor unions learned the thing. The
labor unions PROMPTLY began agitation for an
amendment that the antitrust law should apply only
to capitalist corporations and should forbid boy
cottng and other conspracies by those organizations
for human betterment not organized for profit. The
railways recognized that they could hope any
loosening of the laws again hem and they took their
ferocious revenge They ceased issuing Interstate
passes, and collected fares from United States
officials. Uncle Sam much surprised as any
body in New Jersey, and words could express the
agony of those who had been accustomed to charge
mileage, and ride transportation" The farmers
amazed to find that harvest hands could not ride
at reduced rates. and that wages increased by so
much. Commercial travellers disgusted as
Uncle Sam when he found his soldiers fares raised
When the various orders of railway brotherhoods
found that the law meant them there was food of
bills introduced putting the matter right.

by the Cook Brewing Co., were dis
covered, but it is not known wheth-
er this comes under the provisions of
the law yet This will be determined
later.
When the safe was locked and the
defendant refused to open it it was
naturally suspected that there was
something of an discriminating nature
therein, and an expert was asked to
open it, but he declined on the ground
that it was still in the possession of
the defendant. A discussion of the
situation followed and the officials de-
cided not to further pursue the idea
of opening it, and the arraignment OF
the defendant followed with the re-
suit as stated.

FIRE DISCOVERED IN
BASEMENT OF THE
MAURY NATIONAL
A SERIOUS CONFLAGRATlO
AVERTED BY THE TIMELY
DISCOVERY.
PROKPl AC1lO, c. tl?aaTNfkT
Smoke Seen Issuing From Manhole
Gives First Warning and Alarm
Was Promptly Turned in--6iaze
Started About the Furnace.

The timely discovery of smoke Is
suing from the basement of the Maui
ry National Bank Friday night about
$3.50 o'clock most likely averted an
other disastrous condagration for
Columbia. AS it was there was only
a slight damage to the floor and a
flooded cellar, all covered by insur-
ance.
On the discovery of the smoke the
alarm was promptly turned in by
passers by and the department re-
sponded Immediately. The building
was so dense with smoke when the
door was opened that it was almost
impossible to enter with the hose,
and for several minutes the exact To-
cation Of the fire was a mystery and
the hose could not reach it. Water
was turned into the front and also
from the rear as soon as an entrance
could be effected through the smoke
In very short time after the ring
ing of the alarm the street fair looked
like the traditional deserted village,
the crowd following the hose cart as
the small boy follows the band, and
soon Seventh street was crowded
with sigbtseers, those anxious about
the result and the fire fighters them
selves.
The theory of the officials of the
bank is that the porter must have left
some kindling near the furnace to
dry out and it became ignited as the
drying proceeded.
The Maury National Bank is locat-
ed in the very heart Of the CONNER
cial district and fire there uncon-
trolled would have proven almost il
not quite as disastrous as was that of
last May, and to the early hour of
the discovery is likely due the fact
that the town is not again this morn
ing the victim of serious and almost
irreparable loss from the flames.
The officers Of the bank desire that
the public know that if the bank
building had been burned that no
damage would have resulted either to
the cash or to the deposits in the
safety deposit boxes, as the walls of
the vaults are three feet thick, steel
lined and with safety air chambers,
which would have insured against
loss in any way by the depositors and
patrons of the bank. Aside from this
there was ample insurance against
fire for the protection of all interests.

JUDGE WEBB DIES
OF URIC POISON
AND INDIGESTION
NOTED LAWYER AND JURiST
. PASSES AWAY AT
GAlNEs5oRo.
Was Twice Chancellor Of the Fifth
Observation-Disclosures for Supreme
sench-Was Attorney for Zionist
Alexander Dowie of Zion City.

GAINESBORO, Tenn, Oct. U.s.
Judge Bethel NJ Webb, or Smithyille
one of Tennessee's best known law.
yers and jurists, died here yesterday
evening at 6:15 o'clock. He was TAX.
en- seriously i'll on Monday and never
regained consciousness. Death was
due to commissions, followed by acute
Indigestion, with uric poisoning.
Judge Webb came here on Oct. Is
to hold court for Judge A. H. Rob
erts. When il became apparent that
the end was near his wife, son, Rob-
ert Webb, two daughters, Mrs. Can
trell and Mrs. Foster, and grandson,
Bethel Foster, were summoned to his
bedside. He was attended by DR..
Potter, of Smithville.
The birth place of Judge Webb was
Warren county, Tenn. He was born
there September 81, 1S47, and was of
Irish, Scotch, English and French de-
scent. He was reared on a farm, re-
ceiving a common school educa ion.
When quite young his mother was
widowed, and Judge Webb was the
principal support of the family, which
numbered several children He read
law by nights and while earning a
livelihood, and was admitted to the
bar.
Being endowed with marked intelli-
gence he was successful in his profess
sion and was appointed chancellor of
the Fifth Chancery division by Gov.
Taylor, and later was elected to the
same position. He was a candidate
for the supreme bench last year,
from the field on March
23, his withdrawal and announcement
cards both being unique documents,
couched in strong language.
On January II, 1867, Judge Webb
was married to Miss Helen Ware,
whom he survived His second wife
was Miss Cassie Boykin, a woman of
beauty, to whom he was mar
red on January 20, 1905.
Judge Webb was a member of the
Masonic, Knights of Pythias and Odd
Fellow orders, and stood high in fra
.ernal circules. He was member of
the Methodist church. At the time
Of his death he was engaged in prep
aration for publication of a book,
;oucing mainly upon the judiciary of
Tennessee.
Probably the most noted litigation !
n which Judge Webb was ever re- !
aimed was that of Elijah Dowie, the
alleged prophet, against Voliva and
)ther followers of the Zionette cult
7or a number of years years Judge
Webb was the attorney for Dowie and
represented him in suits where large
were involved.

largest purchases ever made by
store in this section of the country.
Mr.. Ewing bought literally of hard
ware, crockery and furniture. In
buying SO large a new stock Mr.. Ew-
ing was able to get concessions that
will enable him to do the hands ne
thing by his large army of customers.
Mr. Ewing is enthusiastic over bus
mess conditions. He stated that ev-
erywhere there was observable
healthy and firm tone to the market
and that he confidently expected the
winters business to reflect the gener-
al prosperity of the country.
