The Cole Younger and Franl
James wild weet «bow did a thriv-
ing business in East St. Louis yes
terday afternoon and evening, and
eve ning. and a few of the rousta-
bouts took advantage of the sea-
ton of prosperity to file attach-
ment claims in one of the justice
courts for labor, iu the amount
of $600. The claims were not fil-
ed until eveuing. aud when the
management ordeied the show
equipment packed for its removal
to warrenton, Mo., the scene of
the next exhibition, it was dis-
covered that t he horsey, triok po-
nies and general equipment were
legally tied up. The claim was
paid, though the management
claimed it extortionate, and the
show left town two houra late.
While the mattor was being set-
tled the Indians wandered down
into the neighborhood of the Re-
lay Depot and filled up on "fire-
water." A big crowd gathered
and there was, for a time, more
excitement and promise of enter-
tainment than the wild west show
ever offered. The Indians were
oorraled in time, however, to pre-
vent any serious trouble.—East

Who Lives on the John Day Farm
East of harmers-
ville.
We visited the Sheriff's de-
partment last Tuesday and were
told of the mysterious circum-
stances concerning the affair that
occurred at the home of W C
Middleton who lives on the John
Day farm four miles east of
Farmersville last Thursday night.
During the night Mr. Middle-
ton was awakened by a noise in
an adjoining room and got up
and on investigating found an un-
known ;nau walking around in
the room.
Middleton at once siezed his
gun and fired upon him, the visit-
or going out through a window.
He ran into a clothes line throw
ing him back closer to Middle-
ton's gun range and he took an-
other shot at him. He succeed-
ed, how ever, in getting away,
but hi* groans could easily be
heard by Middleton. He was
evidently wounded very badly as
an investigation the next morn-
ing showed that he bled freely, a
large pool being fou«d out in a
near by cotton patch and also a
large puddle on a bridge, where
be nao sat down.
A vigorous search was made by
almost every citizen in the neigh-
borhood the next day for the
man, dead or alive, but as yet
nothing has been found. It is
the opinien of many that the
man is dead.

Farmers Build a Trolley.
It is not necessary for farmers
who desire the advantages of a
trolly line in transporting their
products to maiket to wait for its
construction by promoters and
foreign capitalists. In these days
of prosperity the farmers have
enough surplus funds to enable
them to build such lines them-
selves. That is what some farm-
ers in the northern part of Aroos-
took county in Maine are doing
now. They have just secured a
charter from the railroad commis-
sioners giving them the right to
build an electric railway sixteen
miles long for the purpose of
transporting farm products to
market, and, incidentally, of car-
rying passengers and mail. All
of the stock of this company has
been subscribed for by the farm-
ers living along the line, but the
work of construction along the
line will not begin until every
subscription has been paid in full
This means that all of the money
required to put the road in oper-
ation will be on hand before any
expense is incurred, and that
there will be no manipulation^
tho stock or any failure because
of a lack of funds. It means that
those who pay promptly will not
lose their money, and the road,
too, because others fail to pay
their subscriptions. As the com-
pan> will not go into debt and
will not carry any floating indebt-
edness or bonds, all that will be
necessary when the road begins
operations will be to earn enough
to puy a reasonable return upon
the money invested.—State Jour-
nal.
HAY FEVER'S CONQUEROR
Breathe hyomei and Escape This
Dreaded Summer Visitor.
By the use of Hyomei, you can
save an expensive trip to the
mountains and escape weeks of
suffering. This remarkable rem-
edy for the cure of hay fever,
kills the germs of the disease,
soothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane, if used two
or three weeks before the time of
the usual appearance of hay fever
will prevent the attack,
The complete Hyomei treat-
ment consists of a neat pocket
inhaler, thrpugh which Hyomei is
breathed, £ bottle of Hyomei,
and a medicine dopper. The air
taken into the lungs in this way
is filled with healing balsams {and
forms a perfect safeguard against
attacks of hay fever or rose cold.
Those who have bad had fever,
know how little help can be gain-
ed by stomach dosing in this
disease Hvomei is the only
scienti6c yet common Bense treat-
ment for the trouble.
It is easy enough for any one to
say that a remedy will give satis-
faction, but Smith Bros. &
Company offer to refund
the money if Hyomei does
not do all that is claimed for it,
certainly inspires faith in the
treatment.
Hyomei really gives you in your
own homd, a change of climate,
and hay fever sufferers know
from past experience that this has
been the only thing that afforded
them relief. By breathing Hy-
omei a few times daily, you oan
save the expense and trouble of a
mountain trip and avoid all dan-
ger of hay fever.

Oasollne Stove is Supposed to
Have Exploded, Causing
the Fire
flafgiya
The dwelling owned by Rev. C.
O. Jones and occupied by Judge
J. H. Faulkner, corner Lamar
and Bradley streets, was destroy-
ed by fire last Monday about 10
o'clock.
Judge Faulkner left home early
in the morning to go out to Seveu
Points, a distance of about fifteeo
miles, on business. Mrs. Faulk-
ner and children had gone up the
street to the home of Mrs. Wick
Graves. They had only been
there a few minutes, when the
alarm of fire was heard and on
running out saw flames leaping
from their 1i0me.
The ffre boys were soon on the
scene and with hose attached to
the city fird plugs two streams of
water were being plied on the
burning building, but it was too
far consumed to save only the
hull of the house. Only a tew
pieces of wearing apparel aud a
sewing machine were saved from
the household effects.
Mrs. Faulkner left a lire in a
gasoline stove to heat some water
and it is supposed that tho stove
exploded, oausing the fire. She
did not know whether the house-
hold goods were insured or not.
Rev. C. O. Jones, the owner of
the house is out of town and it is
not known whether he had it in-
sured or not.
The good work of the fire boys
saved the the residence of Rev.
Jooes, which was very olose to
the burning building.
Judge Faulkner's aged mother,
who resides with them, was at the
home df A. P. Carter spending
