full of HYOMEI into bowl of boiling
water, cover the head and bowl with
towel and breathe for 5 or 10 min

vapor
Do this just before going to bed

and you'll awake from refreshing
sleep minus a cold in the morning.
For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma,

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Who was responsible for this waste
Of money?
Below is a statement of the amounts
paid by the city to the news
papers during the present and
the last two administrations. The
present administration has prob
ably had more necessary legal print
ing done than either of the other two,
and yet, has only spent one-third or
one-eighth as much as the two pre-
oeding administrations, respectively.
Is it any wonder that the newspa-
pers have not supported the present
administration or its reelection?
While the newspapers should not

WEEDS GIRL TWICE
To EVADE B|CANY
Goes to Same Minister With
Young Woman He Married
Before Divorced.

Clarence Pinion, the young carpenter
who eloped with Lulu Belle Lowry, Of
283 Humphrey street, Monday night and
is charged with bigamy by the girls
brother because the Wedding occurred
twelve hours before Pinion's divorce
from his first wife was granted, gave
himself up to Justice of the Peace Gil
rardieu this morning.
Pinion told the jurist that when the
bailiff was searching for him last night
he was at the home of Rev. Mr.. Vaughn
on Larkin street getting married a sec
ond time to Lulu Belle He said that
the minister had told him that the first
marriage wasn't legal because his di-
vorce hadn't been granted then.
so I went back and had him do 1t
over" said Pinion and if your honor
wants me to marry her again I'll start
right oct again, for | like to marry her
better than any girl ever knew"
The Judge told Plnion that he would
let him go free on his own recognizance
until Friday afternoon, when the charge
of bgamy against him will be brought
to trial,
Lulu Bellies brother, T. e. Lowry,
came to court with an attorney and OPP
posed Pinion's attempt to get free with
out bail. He said he would prosecute
the bigamy charge to the last ditch.
Lula Belle Lowry had been loving
Plnion for a long time She had even
known him before her mother died in
Edgewood, two years ago, and the
,,,otl,or 5ia1 1xpou+1v,e, +ha+ tho GIRL
cared very much for a man who was
already married
The mother was gone and the broth
ers and sisters of Lula Belle took 1t
upon themselves to see that the girl
was protected from her infatuation,
Three weeks ago the girl went to live
with her brother T. T. Lowry, at Is
Humphrey street She told Lowry and
his wife that she was cured of her love
for Pinion and would never see him any
more. Lowry gave her the big frons
room of their little home to live in, and
told her she could stay with them as
long as the family lived
But they found out a few days after
that Lula Belle wasn't playing fair
with them about Pinion They found
out that Pinion had made friends with
Lula Bellies sister, Mrs Atkinson, who
lives two blocks away over the clay
banks at 159 Middle street
He would come to the Atkinson house
and hide in the back room. and Lula
Belle would steal away from the Lowry
home and meet him there.
Monday night Pinion came again to
the Atkinson house He had told Mrs.
Atkinson that his divorce had been
granted by Judge Pendleton that he
was free to marry and one Of the chill
dren was persuaded to slip over to the
Lowry house and tell that to Lula Belle
while he would wait out of sight in a
rear room
But Lula Belle knew that the Lowrys
would be suspicious. and would not let
her go to meet the man So she sent
the child back to Pinion with message
to wait for her until after dark, and
she mad Mrs Atkinson send her little
daughter down to her at the Lowry
house again with message asking
Lula Belle to bring some pictures up
to show her.
