MURDER TRIAL ENDS; JURY PROBABLY HANGS.

Latest Information is to Effect That Jury Has Failed to Reach an Agreement in the Case. The fate of Dr. W. R. Miller and Mrs. Lucy Sayler, who were joint defendants in the trial at Watseka.. 111, charging them with the murder of J. B. Sayler, the husband of Mrs. Sayler, hangs in the balance. The slain man had many relatives in Jasper county, all of whom have taken a deep interest in the trial. He was a cousin of J. Byron Sayler, who formerly lived in Rensselaer. The jury went out Saturday and up to noon today, Monday, no verdict had been reached, although several ballots were taken Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday. The exhausted jurymen are said to have fallen asleep in the jury room on the benches. It is thought a “hung” jury would be the result, and word reaching here was that 11 stood for conviction and 1 for acquittal. The defendants and the’ county have been placed to an expense of about $30,000 and the case is one of the most noted in that section of Illinois.

Wheatfield High School Beats Rensselaer H. S. 4 to 1 Saturday.

It was a very classy ball game thai the high school teams -of Wheatfield and Rensselaer put up at Riverside Athletic Park last Saturday, as the score of 4 to 1 indicates. All the scoring was done in one inning by each team. Wheatfield made their four in the second, when a couple of errors in the way of a misjudged fly and a poor return and a muffed fly let the visitors get around the circuit. After that the local lads tightened up South Paw Clark pitched gilt-edged ball and while the visitors threatened to score by/ reaching 3d base two or three times, he always pulled out by striking out a man or two or allowing a diamond hit that was perfectly handled by one of the bunch of the quickeyed infielders. The locals could not connect with the ball very well, and although they made a total of 7 hits,to Wheatfield’s four, the hits were not very timely and there was some bad base running that contributed to the brevity of their score. Finally In the Bth inning Parks succeeded in getting around the circuit, but he was warmly pursued and touched the home rubber only a second in front of the ball. The game had not been advertised much and the attendance was small, but there was considerable enthusiasm. The Wheatfield bunch is composed of a nice lot of boys and all are good ball players, the infield being especially good, with one of the widely famed Jensen boys as captain and second baseman. They were accompanied here by their superintendent Morgan L. Sterrett and wife. Mjk Sterrett was a teacher in the Rensselaer schools four years ago. s Next Saturday Rensselaer will entertain the Brook boys at Riverside and they are also to play a return game to Wheatfield later in the

A Good Way to Use Hyomei.

Besides breathing through the inhaler a few times a day, many catarrh sufferers write that they find inhaling Hyomei from a bowl of steaming water each night before retiring, a great aid in curing stubborn cases. Try it; its very simple; gives quick relief and makes you breathe easier. Fill a bowl half full of boiling water; pour into the water a half teaspoonful of Hyomei, cover head and bowl with a towel and.. breathe through nose and mouth the medicated antiseptic and healing vapor’ that arises. ' .This method relieves that stuffiness at once and makes your head feel clear. You can get a bottle of Hyomei at druggists everywhere or at Fendig’s Drug Store for only 50 cents.' Ask for extra bottle Hyomei Inhalent. But bear in mind if you want a Hyomei inhaler you must buy a complete outfit which only costs SI.OO. But as stated before'; if you already own an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei costs but 50 cents. * Hyomei is guaranteed by druggists everywhere and by B. F. Fendig to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds, rose fever, asthma and croups or money back. Try it on that generous basis. < ■" 1 ' * In the March examination, one of the questions in grammer was to writea business letter. One county superintendent reports the following.
