Successful Kxperlmenta In Abating and Curios This Disease. Catarrh Is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomei is so generally known and has made so many cures in Hammond and other towns. Until comparatively recent times ca tarrh was thought to be a blood disease and stomach dosing the only treatment. Modern science finally disproved this Idea of the cause of catarrh, and found that it was a germ disease and, after many experiments, the remedy was decided to be Hyomei. Jlyomel medicates the air you breathe; It kills the catarrhal germs; It heals the smarting and raw membranes of the passages in the nose and throat; it cures all catarrhal troubles. As there Is life and health in the air in the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off their fragrant and heal ing balsams, so there is life and health in breathing Hyomei. There is no need of suffering from catarrh if the simple and natural treatment of Hyomei is used. So sure Is this prescription to cure even the worst cases of catarrh, that Summer's Pharmacy sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it PHONE GIRLS LOCK? Another Operator Married Yesterday Denies Wire Romance, However. (Special to Lake County Times.) South Chicago, Sept. 26.

LONDON'S LORD MAYOR

Sir John G. Bell Elected According to Custom in Middleages. London, Sept. 2?. All ye that are not Mverymen depart this hall on pam of imprisonment." With this cry of the middle ages the solemnmace-bearer opened the quaint proceedings of the Guildhall today which resulted in the election of Sir Charles Hell as the next Lord Mayor of London. This empty ceremony of electing the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the world is held on St. Michaelmas day each year and is one of the most uaint and striking survivals of the middle ages. Unlike all other great municipalities, London's Lord Mayor is not the choice of the Common Council or a political clique, ile must neds have been elected alderman of his ward by the ratepayers many years before ting eligible for the. Mayorallty. lie must have served as sheriff by the elecn of S.000 liverymen, representing the wealthiest and most influential cit izens. As sheriff he must have the ap proval of the King, and on Lord May or's day he must visit the law courts and before the judges the recorder of the city recites his past history. On the day of the election the memers of the ancient city companies, or liveries," assemble in the Guildhall. All but the liverymen are excluded from the building; even the retiring Lord Mayor and all his colleagues must with draw at the word of the town crier on pain of imprisonment. The stately proession walks from the adjoining Church of Old Jewry, where service has preceded the election, and from the Guildhall hustings the common ser geant reads the names of the candidates for the Mayorallty, and the name of the one upon whom the assembled lverymen have already agreed is greeted with cheers, whereupon the al dermen are called to make the final decision, and in a few minutes the Lord Mayor-elect is called to give his consent to take the office. The guilds or livery companies, to whom Is confided the. voting power and the election of Lord Mayor, date back to Saxon days. TANKS GALLED TOWNS Two Places Given on Map, But They Don't Exist, Lav Dodged. New York, Sept. 25. Unlonville, N. , and Centerbridge, Pa., stepped into the limelight today when Calvin M. Payne, general manager' for all the Standard Oil compariy'a'plpe lines, tes tified before Referee 1 errls, in the taking of evidence for use in the fed eral court in St. Louis, that allied Standard pipe lines in the Indiana and Ohio fields submit tariff schedules to the interstate commerce commission naming these two spots as the dis charging points. He believed that both the points mentioned were on the 'New Jersey state boundary and that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey had pri vate pipe lines, lying wholly within the state, which connected Unlonville and Centerbridge with Bayonne. These Interstate pipe lines, of course, do not have to file tariff schedules with the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Payne told Prosecutor Kellogg, who was questioning him about these two terminals, that he went to Europe on July 4, 1906, and that when lie sailed he knew of no such places as Unlonville and Centerbridge. No Town, Just Oil Tanks. The Hepburn bill was put into op eration during his absence, and he re turned to find that the two sites on the borders of New Jersey, had been put on the maps of the Standard's pipe line system. It would be hard to find them, he said, for there was no town at either place just a tank and a pump on the lines of the pipe. The Inference of the government prosecutor was that establishing such discharging points effectually closed the interstate pipe lines to all but Standard producing sources, since nobody but the Standard would send oiL into the wilderness, the only way out of which was by the Standard's private line across New Jersey.

SERMON E OfiOOli Omaha Pastor on Trial for Improper Conduct With Woman-

Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 26. The trial of the Rev. Wilbert P. Ferguson, former pastor of University place, on charges of immorality began at St. Paul's Methodist church yesterday afternoon before a jury of thirteen Nebraska ministers. The Rev. J. T. Roberts of Table Rock presided in place of Bishop McDowell, who is presiding over the conference. Ferguson is charged with Improper conduct with Mrs. E. A. Cross of University place, who is the principal witness for the prosecution. The pastor's undoing was due to one of his own sermons. One Sunday in June he preached on immorality. He dwelt at length on Its widespread prevalence and in scathing terms denounced those guilty of wicked practices. Woman Arlwe anil Conf esn. Mrs. Cross was in the audience, and she was so affected bv the sermon that she arose in her seat and confessed improper relations with the minister in the pulpit. The first charges were filed with the presiding elder of this district on July 1 and the official investigation took place July 16. The Rev. Mr. Fer guson was suspended from the ministry pending the action of tills conference. He was formerly pastor of fash ionable churches in Los Angeles and Newark, N. J. Mrs. C'roa to Tcntlfr WIII!nnly. Mrs. Cross has lately returned from Granada, Col., where her parents reside. She stated yesterday that she will testify in the trial willingly. e. e. helps Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville Keeps Promises Made to Village. (Speolnl to Lake County Times.) Griffith, Ind., Sept. 26. Officials of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville road have proven that they are men of their -word. At least the people here are well satisfied on that point and nothing is heard now but praise for the honest and business-like manner in which they have fullllled the terms of agreement as set forth In their franchise. The commutation tickets which they agreed to furnish were promptly put on sale on the day set and the rates are as good or better than any of the other roads given. Twenty-five ride tickets to Chicago from here are sold for 34 cents a ride, while ten ride tickets can be had for 2 cents more per ride. The Erie, when the 2 cent rate went into effect took off Its twenty-five ride tickets altogether and raised the rate of its ten ride tickets. So the people are naturally well pleased with the new road. And they are doing even more than promised, for they are stopping all their fast trains here aa well as the local ones, and giving good eervlce. The sewerage and drainage which they were to look after along their right of way, is being arranged for as rapidly as possible, and will doubtless be completed before cold weather. With all this demonstration of good Intentions before them, the people feel that the road is Interested In their welfare and are ready to render it any personal favor possible, that it might ask. The town board too, is in for its share of praise, for the foresight with which these things were provided for and the manner In which they have delt with the road. NEW TELEPHONE BOOK. Owing to the heavy Increase in the list of patrons a new telephone direc tory must be printed at once. Another will not Issue for several months. If you need a telephone, sign a contract now and get your name In the new book. Don't delay or you may be too late. Chicago Telephone Company. adv, NOTICE!
