SAYS MAN SWORE TO KILL
Mrs. Fiddler Believes Victim Was
Afraid OF MulIendore.

LAFAYETTE. Ind, oct 21.-Mrs.
Blanche Fidler was the principal wit
ness today in the trial of Riley Null
lendore. charged with the murder of
Grover Cook Mrs. Fidler said Cook
told her a few hours before the fatal
encounter that Riley Mullendore had
sworn TO get him on sight Mrs. Fid-
Ter went on the stand. MullendOres
attorneys rOss-examined her today.
She said Cook did not go to see
Mullendore in LOgansport, because he
was afraid he would kill him. He
then told her, she said, of the threat
MullendOre had made. Mrs Fidier
said she and Cook walked around the
street while Mrs. MullendOre went to
see Riley The witness, when asked
why she had not told this before, said
Mr.. Flanagan, one of the attorneys
last spring, in an interview in his Of
fee, told her that if she testified to
that particular fact they would take
MullendOre out and hang him.
The defense will try TO impeach the
testimony of Mr.. Fidler. The witness
told several instances of Cooks com
planning that he had trouble with
Riley Mullendore. The defense sought
an admission that Cook had been
drinking and also tried to draw the
inference that both she and Cook were
Intoxicated or Christmas and that she
was in love with Cook

Of New York, who admitted he was
engaged by the railroads TO present
arguments before the commission in
their behalf, testified in his opinion
that If the European war lasts one
year, the cost of the belhgerent coun-
tries will not be less than $4,000
100000.
The demand for capital for war
purposes alone, and for settlements
after the war will be so great as TO
absorb an amount equal to the entire
savings for investment made in all
civilized countries for a period Of sew
eIal years" said Mr.. COnant.
According to authorities quoted by
Mr.. Conant, the worlds new capital
normally available for investment
amounts to about SS4, 100000 a
year.
IF the cost of the war for one
year has to be Maid out of the amount
of annual savings indicated by these
figures" he concluded, then every
dollar OF new capital for approximate
~ four years will be absorbed in gov
eminent loans and there will not be

Here Are Questions.
The letters sent the governor and
road engineers set forth the Indiana
road system and then ask the ques-
ton regarding the system and other
road subjects The letters read in
part:
Under present Indiana laws the
state pays no part of the cost of road
construction or repair has no road
official, and takes no concern about
public highways. Nor do the counties
pay any part Of the cost of construc-
ton, but are supposed to keep the
roads i'm repair after they are con-
structed. The entire cost of cOnstruc-
ton is charged against the property
in the townships. This is usually
done by the issuance Of what is called
gravel road bonds; bearing 4 1-2 per
cent interest, and payable in yearly
installments running for 10 or 20
years. There are now more than
$50. 900, 600 worth of these bonds out
standing in Indiana. There is no lev
requiring any road official 20 be other
than a qualified voter of the county.
Asks Questions on Law.
'From your experience and Oh
servation, what are the merits and de-
fects of this system? Do you favor
a state highway department and
state fund for roads? If so, is this
hest created by a yearly levy or a
bond issue? on what roads should
state funds be expended. if any, and
under whose direction?
do YOU think that the state should
build and maintain "a system of main
roads. or assist the counties or town
ships through which road passes,

TO AVOID CATARRH OR BREAK UP
A COLD
Use HyOmei a Simple Remedy That
Instantly Relieves

At the first symptom of catarrh such
as sniffles, fits of sneezing, raising OF
mucus, itching of the nose, or that
chokedup feeling, surely take immed-
late steps to conquer the disease. Ca
tarrh is not only distressing, unclean
and annoying, but serious ailment.
One of the easiest and simplest rem
edies to check catarrh and break up a
cold is Hyomei. Just put a few drops
of this antiseptic and healing liquid
into the small inhaler that comes with
every complete outfit and breathe it..
This medicated air Immediately soothes
the infamed tissues and effectively
drives out the poison. Just few min
utes use of this most helpful remedy
opens the stuffed air passages, clears
the head and throat of the unclean dis
charges-you breathe freely and i'm
feel better.
Hyomei is SO certain to relieve and
give lasting benefit that R. Hodgins
sells it on the "No-cure-no-pay" plan.
