In A Breath There's Rest Breathe Hyomei and boCnredof diiarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma Nature has a remedy for catarrh, epi- deatic colds and bronchitis that is far better tbnn dosing the stomach with medicine and drugs. It is the healiiig oils aud balsams of Hyomei which medicate the air you breathe, reaching the most remote air cells in the nose, thruac and luiii>a, kill- lui/ a'l catarrhal germs and restoring hciilih to the mucous membrane. Hyomei acts like a curative internal air l>uth, and has the same hoaling mid antiseptic effect as the air where tho Pine snd Eucalyp'io forests i>ive off their frag- rant and heuling balaams. Breathe healinp Hyomei and see how quickly you will get relief from catarrh nnd head colds. If it does not help you there will not be a penny's expense, ss W, E. Richsidsnn St, Son agree to refund the money. The complete HyuiD«ioutGt cusis only $1.00.

It is the best remedy for chronic coughs that I ever used." Thousands of living witnesses pro- nounce Faychine tho greatest medicine in the world.

Stabbed Brother in Breast .\s a result of bad blood that- has cxin- tod between them Walter Mournahan of East Luther was arraigned in court at Grand Valley on Saturday last on the charge of wounding his oldest brother, Henry Mournahan. The wound was caused by the stab of a knife in tho left brea.st,, and had ii not been for the fact, the Crown contend-s, that the blade (if the knife tirst came in contact with tho man's watch, the woiinil might liavo been fat.al. .4s it wjiH, tho knife pierced his side, .striking one of tho ribs. The ill- feeling between the two bn.'ther.s is said to have exi.4ed for a number of years, but the cause is not dctinitely known. Ditferences are siippoRO to h.ave first bo- gmiSwlion the father, James Mournahan, divided his property of throe or four hundred acres among four brothers Tile quarrel, of which the stabbing of Henry Mournahan was the outcome, took place ou Thur.stlay evening hist about i) o'clock on the country ro.id, and the injured man claimud in his charge that ho was waylaid by his brother, while tho aocu.sed claiined in his evidence that he commibtod the act in self-defence, as he had uudei'stood that Henry had khreaton- ocl to kill him.

It was necessary to show that 28 votes were illegally cast. Eight of these were coiicodod as being illegally cast, by the town. It wivs shown that 18 voters whose names appeared as having cast their votes had no quaiificatiiui whatever, aud that ;<5 other^^ had not sulHcieut ipialification to enable them to vote. His Lordship said; " Tlie evidence shows that these uaiiies were put on without any color of justification. The , (mly explanation tho clerk offers of his ' extraordinary conduct is that they were ' not placed there with any intention of aiding either one side or the other in the Kaid contest. " His Lordship, however, decided tli.nt ho could not go behind tho voters' list to the as.sc.ssinent roll, aud that those whose names appear on the former are entitled to voto. He concluded; " In view of tho unjustifiable and extraordinary conduct of respomlent's clerk in pre|mr- ing the voters' list, in adding a iianiu to it after it had been certified by the ' county judge, and in unlawfully giving certificates, thus enabling many persons to vote without proper authority, I think that while the motion must be refused, it .should bo without costs. " ' Twon'y-nino immiijrants from Ilia United Slates were sent back to Dulut'.i from Port Arthur.
