The death of Seuator Mitchell, of Oregon, is rather pathetic, j1 There was a cloud in his early life, ft is said that his real name was John Hippie and that he de serted a wife and children in Pennsylvania when he first went 1 to the West, where he took the name of John H. Mitchell. He 1 married again and it is said ' made provisions for his first wife, which, however, did not excuse < the desertion. Mitchell was very,: popular in Oregon, being elected 1 to the Uuited States Senate four 1 times, besides holding other ofti- 1 ces. Hut in his old age he be- ? came involved in land frauds against the government. Last ] huminer be was convicted in the i Federal Court in Oregon and ap- ] pealed to the I'nited States Su- f preme Court. The case had not 1 been heard in the Supreme Court < and the action abates with bis ' death. i It is customary in the Senate < when a member dies to formally announce bis death in open see- h sion, the Senate adjourns in l honor of the deceased, a delega-1r tion composed of members of the i Senate and House attend the ( funeral, and later formal eulo gies are delivered. But on ac- i count of Mitchell's conviction of < fraud in the courts no notice will I be taken of his death, the first < time that the Senate has failed I to oner tbe customary honors to a deceased member. The man < who had been in public life for nearly a half century?he was first elected to the Senate in i 1N72? goes to his grave dishon- | ored and leaves a dishonored i name as a heritage to his chil dren. The lesson is a severe one < and it is a lesson that needs to i be taken to heart by public men and by all men in these days of ] greed and graft. What profit now is all Mitchell's honors? i Whatever of public service he may have rendered, whatever honor may have been due him in the past, is all blotted out. The death of Mitchell will add : a Democrat to the Senate. His term would have expired in March, 1907, and as the Legis : lature of Oregon does not meet until January, 1907, Gov. Cham berlain, who is a Democrat, will appoint a Democrat to serve un til t he Legislature meets.?States ville Laudmark. The llreeditiK Sloiie. There was a curious superstition which prevailed in Essex half a cen tury ago. It was believed that certain stones possessed the power of breeding other stones. I remember being taken by a man of the upper laboring class to see a well known breeding stone which lay on the sward by the side of a lane in the parish of South Weald, near Brentwood. It was seemingly a water worn block of sandstone or pos sibly, I have since thought, of pudding stoue, which would explain a great deal. It was larger than a man's head, with a cup shaped cavity the size of a small orange, In which lay a pebble about as big as an acorn. I was told that this pebble continually grew lar ger and that if it were removed the breeding stone would begin to breed another. It was evident that the man firmly believed what he told me, and he got quite angry when I ventured to cast n doubt upon the story.?Notes and Queries. A Darliift Deed. While the mutinous sepoys were at tacking General Wheeler's Intranch ments at Cawupur a shot from their batteries blew tip the contents of a two wheeled catt loaded with car tridges. It also set lire to the wood work of the cart, which was standing In the place where the English ammu nition was stored. Roth the mutineers and the English saw that if the fire was not <i; ruished there would soon be a m t i' >astrous explosion. The sepoy b tor! s therefore poured In a, deadly f n> : of round shot to prevent the Eng < ? mi putting out the flumes. a youi: : 1 Tenant. Delaforse, unmov ed by hi e mcentrated fire of shot, thre- ' ir ?:>lf under the bluzing car rla- tore away the burning wood with his I nds and. throwing earth up on the bb ting brands, stifled the fire before it could spread to the ammuni tion. ii he escaped the rain of bul lets is incomprehensible.

Among the many medicine* upon the market that claim to cure catarrh none but Hyomei lias enough faith in its own merit to offer to refund the money if it ioes not cure. This scientific remedy for ?ararrh kills the microbes and ?erins of the disease and from ts introduction has been sold | jnder a positive guarantee to re-1 turn the money to all dissatisfied customers. j Hyomei is the only method ol treatment that sends by direct uhalation to the most remote parts of the air passages, a bal samic air that destroys all catarrhal germs in the breathing argans, enriches and purities the blood with additional ozone, and makes permanent and complete cures of catarrh. The complete outfit cost, #1.00 md comprises an inhaler, a bot tle of Hyomei and a dropper The inhaler will last a lifetime, iud additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. Breathe Hyomei for a few min Jtes four times a day, and your catarrh will grow better from the first day's use, and will be completely cured within a short time. Do not try to cure catarrh with ordinary stomach medicines. Breathe the healing Hyomei which goes to every part of the air passages and respiratory or gans, killing the catarrh germs and preventing their growth. It is the only treatment for catarrh where you can get your money back from a local dealer Hood Bros in case it does not help.
