SIMPLY BREATHE IT
That's the Way You Use Hyomei, the
Safe Catarrh Remedy

The most pleasant, easiest, harmless,
and the really sensible method for the
cure of catarrh is Hyomei, which can
be had from any drug store. Just put
twenty drops of the liquid in the small
inhaler that comes with every COM
plete outfit-then breathe il. A few
minutes use almost instantly clears
the head and stops that annoying
smiling.
When using Hyomei every particle
of air that enters the breathing organs
is charged with an antiseptic, healing
balsam that destroys the catarrh
germs stops the unclean discharges
from the nose. relieves the irritation
and quickly heals the sore and intlam-
ed tissues, The first days use of
Hyomei will show a decided improve
mont no matter how distressing the
trouble.
Catarrh, which usually begins with
a neglected cold, often becomes very
serious alment, so don't wait but start
using Hyomei today-it is inexpensive
and G r. Fogg always sells II on the
'No-cure-no-pay plan.

Famous Son of Bloomfield

By the death of Samuel Lane Board
man. we are reminded that many ma
tives of Bloomfield have passed promi-
nent lives, almost without our realiz-
ing that their history commenced with
us. Mr. Boardman was born in
Bloomfield, now a part of this town.
March 80, 1886, the son of Charles
Franklin and Philena Russell Board
man. He was married June -, 1860.
A second marriage occurred April 10.
1900 to Alma Staples, by whom he is
survived, Mr.. Boardman after reach
ing manhood, followed chiefly the pro-
fession of journalism. Among his
best known connections was The
Country Gentleman of Albany, n. Y,
The Maine Farmer The Kennebec
Journal and the Bangor Daily Jour-
nal. He was trustee or director of
long list of societies directly or in
directly engaged in the promotion of
agriculture. Outside of his newspa-
per work he was the author of several
books of a scientific nature which had
wide circulation.
Mr. Boardman met with fall about
six years ago and since then has been
obliged to abandon most of his work.
OF his later years he has passed
brief period in New York City with his
son, but his home has been in Angus
ia. where his death occurred, since
1911.

BASEBALL TIMBER WANTED
BY GUMN|sON FANS

The ali important question before the
Gunnison fans" now is the one asking
whether or not the town of Gunnison is
going 10 support a good, live base ball
team this summer.
The fans have counted and re-counted
their number and it looks that if such
thing is Undertaken, and carried
through the season in a successful man
ner, one of two things will have TO be
done, viz; either the fans will be com
PEELED to go way down deep in their
pockets in order to produce a sufficient
amount of the coin of the realm to meet
the necessary expenses thus created, or
else they will have to hold revival and
convert new members to their told.
Gunnison already has fairly good
baseball park, and with little fixing
could be put in extra fine shape. She
also has the material for a live team,
but aside from that it will require a
very small promise of backing from the
business men of the town, which, il
seems, should be readily forthcoming
upon solicitation.
It's not only from an outdoor sport
viewpoint that this paper brings this
matter before the people. but there are
several other considerations as well.
First, there Is the example set by all
real live, wide e-awake towns in this sec
ton of the country. such as Montrose,
Delta, Grand junction, Telluride, and
it is reported that Crested Butte and
several of the smaller towns closer to
Us are going to support such organiza-
tions.

1t is reported that Considerable viol-
enee attended the voting at Crested

which has been in progress in that town
between the Peoples party and Social
ist's party ended Tuesday with a com
plete victory for the Socialists. The
race for marshal was close, the Social

Sheriff Pat Hanlon was on the grounds
and it is said in one case, found it nee
essary to hold a bunch of men at bay at
the point Of a gun. Ii is also reported
that he had considerable difficulty with
the present marshal, who turned
man whom Pat had arrested out Of iail
and deputized him. 1t is not known
just what started the trouble, but il
was not unexpected as there has been
considerable labor trouble, there being
over four hundred men out on a strike.
DIR. o. A. Dram was elected mayor
of Crested Butte. The others who were
elected are Jack kochevar. b. F. Ben
nett, William Runne, Paul Panion for
trustees; John Nemanlsh, for marshal;
John Mcintyre, for clerk: Join Stariha.

were quiet, there being only one ticket
in the field at each place.
