As a general thing, such coughs become firmly seated in a few hours, and you are in for a week's siege of cough- ing, if not for an attack of bronchitis, pneumonia or consumption. All such coughs can be stopped in the beginning by placing a HYOMEI inhaler in the mouth and breathing naturally for fifteen or twenty-minutes. This will kill the germs causing the cough, almost im- mediately. If the cough comes on night, place 20 drops of HYOMET on a plece of flannel, pin to the night robe and retire. In the | morning all trace of the cough will have | disappeared. Croup cannot exist for one hour if the above directions are followed. Ordinary coughs which have become | seated are cured i twenty-four hours. Catarrh and bronchitis require treat- ment for from three to fifteen days only. The advance of conSumption is stopped in six days, and the germs of the disease completely eradicated in a very few weeks. Send to The R. T. Booth Co., Ithaca, N. Y., for five days' treatment free, or purchase a HYOMET outfit from your drugsist. You will never need or ever use any other miedicine for such diseases after testing this new cure.

RED BLUFF, March Mickey, a young man of Forest Ranch, in Butte County, commenced a three months’ sentence in the Red Bluff jail to- day just because he had been overzealous in capturing a man he believed to be John Bennett, the murderer of Nora Fuller. Mickey risked his life, endured hardships and privations such as would have killed most men and led his prisoner into Vina, strapped upon the back of a horse, after having kept him bound for thirty hours. The usual notice concerning Bennett's crime and the reward offered for his ar- rest was posted at Forest Ranch, which 15 in the hills twenty miles from Chico. A strange man was begging in the vicin- ity. Last Friday, after obtaining a quan- tity of food, the fellow took to the woods. Syivanus Mickey, who lives with his mother, read the posted description of Bennett and was struck by the stranger’s resemblance to it.' With his rifle he went into the woods to overhaul the suspect. All night long Mickey hunted the hills. He came upon his man on Saturday, and after a hand-to-hand struggle knocked Lim senseleds, striking his head with the rifie barrel. Mickey sent a passing boy for his horse, lashed his unconsclous prisoner upon the animal, and, leading the horse, set out to find an officer. Mickey lost his way and wandered all night through the hills. He threatened to hoot his prisoner if he tried to untie the pes. Mickey presented the appearance of a wild man when e reached Vina with his prisoner on Sunday night. He had walked steadily without food or drink, leading the horse. His clothing was half gone and his face and feet were cut and bleeding. At Vina the officers were convined that the prisoner, who gave the name of Shana- han, was & harmless tramp and released him. He complained of the bad cut upon his head. Mickey was arrested for as— gault, found guilty and sentenced last night to ninety days. BELIEVES HE SAW BENNETT. Purser Tells of a Queerly Acting Pas- senger on the Mainlander. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 11.—Purser Maxwell of the Steamship Mainlander be- lieves Bennett, the murderer of ora Fuller, was a passenger on that vessel from Vancouver to Seattle last Saturday night, just after local papers had pub- lished statements that Captain of Detec- tives Seymour of San Francisco was in this vicinity searching for the fugitive. The Mainlander leaves Vancouver at 10 o'clock on Saturday evenings for Seattle, arriving at the Sound city between 8 and 9 o'clock the next morning.

Salva-cea, 274 Canal st., N, Y. 11.—Sylvanus dark on Saturday evening Maxwell was approaching his steamer from the wharf, when he was accosted by a man who wanted to work his passage. The strang- er safd he had no money and must get to Seattle. He told a plausible story of hav- ing relatives there and said he would get money when he arrived. Purser Max- well told him to come around later. Maxwell had a good look at the strang- er's face in the light of a wharf lamp. The man. was five feet eight or nine inches in height, of medium build and clean shaven. His mustache had evi- dently been but recently shaved, for his upper lip was white and the remainder of his face darker and apparently had not been shaved for a week. The man was nervous and shivered as he stood in the rain without overcoat or umbrella. Later the same man came to Maxwell as the latter was selling tickets, just be- fore the steamer sailed. He said he had got the money to pay for his trip, and took a berth for the night's voyage. He wore the same clothing as when first seen. He'did not delay after he engaged the berth, and Maxwell did not see him again that night. One peculiarity Max- well noticed was that there were patches of white in the black of the man’s hair. The next morning Maxwell was busy at the time of landing, and Wwhen he be- thought himself of the stranger the. lat- ter was gone. Maxwell's suspicions were aroused, and from the published descrip- tions of Nora Fuller's murderer he be- lieves he has seen the right man. The local police have a second report that Captain of Detectives Seymour of San Francisco has been seen in Van- couver by a couple of persons who be- lieve they know him. The police officials, however, declare Seymour is not now and has not been in this city. 5 MUST STOP GUTTING, ENOCH )IORGAN SONS SHUT OFr THE EMPORIUM. Big Department Store Has Been Slashing Prices on Sapolio. Retailers Should Back Up the Firm ‘Which Is Showing Its Friendship. The Empmqum must stop selling four cakes of Sapolio for 25 cents. J. P. Gillespie of Enoch Morgan Sons this week notified all jobbers that any further sales to the big department store will be a violation of the contract between the Sapolio people and the jobbers, in which the latter agree not to sell to others. Mr. Gillespie learned of the cutting a few days ago and called on the manager to request him to desist. . He was met with a refusal and at once took steps to stop them. i That he will succeed goes without say- ing. In New York Enoch Morgan Sons spent thousands of dollars to prevent the department stores from cutting. “Pho big stores tried every device to get the goods. They even bought of retailers. That ‘was stopped. Then they went to Charleston, S. C., to get supply. Again they were headed off. inally they capitulated. The firm which has done so much for assoclation work throughout the United States believe In protecting the small grocer as well as the large. Consequently they will not allow cut- ting. | ery grocer in the land who believes in getting a fair profit will stand behind the firm in. this fight, for the grocers know their friends. The manager of the Emporium states that they have a large ?runlky of Sapolio in stock and that their patrons will be able to get all that they want of it.—The Retail Grocers’ Advocate, March 8. SLEUTHS WATCH ROBBER AT WORK Entrap Son of a Prom- inent Loos Angeles Capitalist. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, March 11.—Robert Widney was locked up late last night in the City Prison on a charge ol grand larceny.. He was caught in the act of ad- ministering . “knock-out” drops to an Eastern tourist and robbing him. Every detail of the transaction was witnessed by two detectives, who had been concealed for that purpose in the room where the robbery took place. The stolen money had ®een marked. ‘Widney is the son of Judge R. M. Wid- ney, the well-known attorney and cap- italist, and when the latter was president of the University Bank young Widney was employed in that institution. He has always been inclined to be wild and since he left the employ of the bank several years ago he has had no regular employ- ment, living by his wits. About two weeks ago Widney, accom- panied by the notorious ‘‘Smoothy” An- derson, called at the house of Lena Dona- hue, at 327 Aliso street. With them was a young tourist from the East, named Willlam Hanson, who had plenty of money, which he distributed liberally for drinks. While all were drinking, the land- lady asserts, she saw Widney put some liquid in Hanson's beer. He told her that it was “knock-out” drops; that Hanson had $1000 in cash on his person and that if she would keep quiet he would get the money and give her half of it. The wo- man pretended to fall into the scheme, but she changed Hanson’s beer and then sent for two of his frlends to come and take charge of him. Widney objected to the friends taking Hanson away, but the two men insisted. Widney proposed to the woman to rob all _rich men who visited her place. Mrs. Donahue lost no time 4n notifying the police and Captain Bradish went to the place and made ar- rangements for trapping Widney. Hanson, the tourist, consented to enter into any plan that would punish his faise friend. , Last night it was learned that ‘Widney had gone to the Donahue wo- man’s house and Hanson, after marking four $5 bills, also went to the house. De~ tectives Rich and Shields concealed them- selves under the bed in the room to which Hanson was taken. Hanson laid down on the bed and beer was ordered and placed on the dresser, the mirror on which had been so ar- ranged that the officers could see every- thing that was going on. Widney went to the dresser and taking a bottle from his pocket dropped several drops of liquid into_the beer which had been 'brought for Hanson. At this moment the woman entered the room and changed the beer and Hanson drank from the other glass. He pretended to fall into a deep sleep and Widney deliberately searched his pockets, He found the $20, and as the -woman re-entered the room he told her in a tone of disgust, of the small amount of his find. At this point the officers placed Widney under arrest and he was taken to the police station, where he was searched and the stolen money found in his pessession. ‘Widney was en before Justice Austin this mom!fif on a complaint sworn to by Detective Rich and arraigned on a charge of grand larceny. He pleaded not guilt: and his examination was set for March l.{ 1 't WIND WHIRLS HEAVY HOUSES Omaha Residents Suffer Severely in a Big Storm. OMAHA, March 11.—The heaviest wind, rain and hail storm in the history of the city visited Omaha and -Douglas County at 2 o’clock this morning. It struck Omaha near Monmouth Park, in the northern edge of the city, and moved southeast. the greatest severity being experienced in the neighborhood of Thirty-third and Larimore streets. Al- though perhaps fifty buildings were more or less damaged, nobody was serfously in- jured. Telephone and telegraph wires in Sthe path of the storm were strewn over the streets and a great number of poles were torn out. Franklin School, one of the largest in the city, had to be abandonéd temporariiy. A large chimney was blown into the roof, which caved in and demolished several rooms. Heavy buildings were blown about in an easy way and several barns Wwere torn to pieces. The Monmouth Park M. E. Church was literally tern to pieces. Several green- houses were wrecked by the hail. Im- manuel Hospital was badly damaged by a lafrge chimney being blown through the roof. Several small towns in this county re- port the worst storm for years. It was particularly severe at Valley and Elkhorn, and at the latter place a Union Pacific train was struck by a falling coal chute and considerably damaged, although no one was injured. At Florence, three miles north of the city, and where the city wat- er works are located, the storm twisted several buildings from their foundations, but the water works were not affecte® In gentml Park lightning struck several arns.
