catarrh Danger sisn-LocaI Drug
gists Guarantee That Hyomei Will

Cure It.
There is no more common disease
than catarrh. and there is none that is
really more dangerous. 1t is weakening
and debilitating to the whole system,
and If allowed to run will in the end
result in consumption.
The prevalence of catarrh can be
readily realized by scanning the adver-
Using columns of any paper. 1t is no.
ticeable, tho, that among the many
medicines and treatments that are adj
vertised to cure catarrh there is only
che which is sold under the positive
guarantee of reliable local dealers to
refund the money if ii does not cure
that is Hyomei, natures remedy for the
cure of catarrh.
No dangerous drugs are taken into
the stomach when Hyomei is used. This
remedy is breathed thru small pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit. The balsamic fragrance of Hyo-
mel penetrates to the most remote cells
of the throat and lungs kills the germs
of catarrh. heals the irritated mucous
membrane and gives complete and per-
manent cure.
Local druggists have sold hundreds
OF packages of Hyomei. every one UNI
der their personal guarantee to refund
the money IL 1t did not cure. Only two
customers have asked for a refund.
This record is something unusual in the
annals of medicine. 1t demonstrates be-
yond question the remarkable powers
Of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
You should not delay in taking adj
vantage of this chance to obtain
remedy for catarrh under the "no cure,
no pay" plan.

Central Switch Engine Strikes
Two Men, and John Shee-
ley Is Dead.
NARROW ESCAPE OF COMPANION
Men Were Roustabouts and Were
Cleaning Snow from Tracks-Escap-
ing Steam Prevents Men from See
ing locomotives Approach, and En-
gineer from Noticing the Men.

+ The second bad accident In the Iowa
Central yards in the past few weeks
occurred Wednesday afternoon and as
a result John Shelley, a roustabout,
Shelley was struck by a switch engine,
rolled under the heavy machine for a
| distance of twenty feet, and was picked
up more dead than alive. He fingered
until $3.50 o'clock, when death put an
end to his suffering. The engine struck
the mans companion. Andrew Law
renee, but In such manner as to throw
him to one side and out of harms
way. Lawrence escaped with only
slight bruises.
The accident happened near the COM
pany's ice track. Shelley and Law
renee, who are employees OF Roustabout
Foreman Ed Jones. were engaged in
shoveling and sweeping snow. Sever
al engines were on side tracks, some
waiting to coal, and others for orders
to pull out. AS a result there was
much steam escaping and this is ac-
countable for the men not seeing the
approach of switch engine No. 8, in
charge Of Engineer William Elliott,
which was heading in on the coal
ing track where the men were working.
For the steam Engineer Elliott was
unable to see the men until he struck
them. A brakeman, who foresaw thei,
danger from a point near the tracks
tried to warn them but neither Shelley
or Lawrence heard the appeal to get
out of the way. The footboard of the
engine struck them, and Shelley wen
down. The engine rolled him over
and over, doubled him UP as if he were
so much pulp, and carried him twenty
feet before the engineer could bring
the locomotive to standstill. So
firmly was the unfortunate man caught
in the under machinery of the engine
that the drive rods on one side had
to be removed before he could be re-
leased. 1t took fully twenty minutes
to get the mangled form out from UNI
der the engine.
An ambulance was called and Shelley
removed to his home The company's
surgeon, who was on the ground as
'SSOAA
home, found his injuries to consist of
a broken left leg. below the knee: six
broken ribs on the left side, besides
terrible bruises and internal injuries I
The left lung was punetured by one of |

would soon produce death.

He leaves wife. but no children The I
escape from serious injury of Law
renee is considered nothing more than |
miraculous, and 1t is wonder that

The funeral will. be held from the
United Evangelical church Sunday
afternoon at o'clock, under the direc- T

engagements. about thirty of his neigh

Albion, who had often been recipients
of the hospitality of the Hixson home,

DEBATE CALLED OFF.
Audience Fails to Materialize, So the

,,tAat,,

Wheeler Shippey Debate Is indefi-
nitely Postponed.
| Prohibitionists of the city We're either
! otherwise busily engaged Wednesday
| evening or else they did not care two
bits worth to hear the debate, Re
solved. That Prohibition Is the Only
Correct Solution of the Liquor Traffic"
that was billed to be pulled off at the
Odeon with Rev. A. J. Wheeler. of New
York. championing the affirmative and
Professor f. M. Shippey, of Waterloo,
the negative. Fifteen men, one woman
and several ushers constituted the audi
ence, and after waiting until $40 for
the remainder of the audience to arrive
Mr.. Shippey announced that the de-
bate would be called off and money re-
funded to those who had paid admis-
sion. Mr.. Shippey, who assumed the
responsibility of the debate, stated he
would be out in the neighborhood Of $50
on the deal. While the proposed de-
bate failed to draw there is every rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Shippey is sin
oere in his beliefs and motives, and was
here for the purpose for which he adj
vertised, which is much more than can
be said of Mr.. Wheeler's last opponent
upon the forum in this city.

same name, and in a like manner Rio
Victorias and Bahia are all named. The
Java and other kinds grown in the fal
east receive their names from the var
lous provinces of the country in which
they are produced. The best grade OF
coffee grown is Java, and the method
IN which it is shipped has much to dc
with its commercial value when it is
ready for sale. Plying between this
country and the Dutch East Indies is a
small fleet of sailing vessels employed
exclusively by the coffee growers. 1t
| requires from three to four months to
make the trip. The shippers of these
vessels are given bonus, based on the
color the beans have when the ship
reaches port. This inducement is Of
tered by the owner in order that the
master Of the vessel will take extra
precautions to see that his cargo has
the proper brown tinge so desirable in
Java coffees. This is accomplished by
loading the hold of the vessel, beating
down tightly the matches and allowing
them to remain so during the entire
voyage. While slowed away the cof-
fee "sweats" and becomes musty, which
produces the color desired and adds to
its value.
The Buying and Selling.
While a cargo of coffee is yet thou
sands of miles from its destination in
this country, and is still piled in the
hull of some vessel, it is being bartered
for in this city. Importers and brokers
mail to the firm here daily list of
ships en- route, the number of bags and
kind and the price asked. If the kind
listed is desired an offer is made, but
most of the coffee is purchased after it
reaches this country, so that samples
can be sent out to prospective pur-
chaSers. These samples, when received
at the factory in this city, are roasted,
and tested, and if a purchase is desired
an offer is made by wire. If 1t is ac-
copied shipment is made, If not the low
est figure is wired back by the impor-
ter or broker, and is either accepted or
refused here, as may be deemed best, in
view Of the market.
Something on the Grading.
Coffee is graded among buyers and
sellers according to the number of
rocks" BLACK BEANS" "blights" or
"quakers" that the sample may, con-
tain. What is known as No. is the
iuSdi Spilee, COIitdiiiiIlS nothing OUT
the full perfect beans. No. Z is, how
ever, the standard grade, and with it as
a basis all quotations on coffee are
made.
Any number of various brands, or
blends, are possible by the mixing of
various kinds of coffee, and it is in this
way that the local firm is able to supply
each of the various branch houses with
distinct brands If necessary, the only
difficulty encountered being In keeping
The blend always the same, as it is Oft |
IN made of different grades of the same |
kind of coffee.
The coffee business, even that portion
Of 1t that has to do with the blending,
roasting and preparing for the market,
s a great business in ITSELF and to be-
come proficient requires years of appli- |
,ation to the industry.
Manager r. w. McCreary, of the
spencer-Letts concern, is considered
me of the best posted men on coffee in
he country, having devoted many
5ears to it's study and preparation for
he market.
