grand struggle through numberless
difficulties, was backed by some OF
the solid business men Of Boston.
Viola Allen, who has electrified
this country and at the present

JUST BREATHE 1T.
Pleasant Way to Cure Catarrh-Dan-
gerous Stomach Dragging
Avoided by Using

One of the advantages Of treating
catarrh by Hyomei, the famous breath
ing treatment for this disease, is the fact
that a noticeable Improvement is seen in
the first days use. 1t is the only natural
and rational way to cure catarrh.
This disease cannot be cured by the use
Of pills tablets. liquid medicines and So
called system tonics. Under such treat
ment the germs of catarrh will live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei cures catarrh by a new principle.
by eathing balsamic air. II IS not alone
the only positive cure ever discovered for
this disease but it is also the pleasantest
method of treatment.
The outfit consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the purse or vest pocket.
a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo-
mel the total cost being S1.00 The in
haler will last a lifetime. while there is
enough Hyomei for more than a months
use. Simply drop a little of the HyOmei
into the inhaler and breathe through it
for "A few minutes, four or five times a
day The air filled with the balsamic
healing Of Hyomei enters the air passages
Of the lungs, killing the disease germs.
soothing the irrtated membrane, and
effecting permanent cure.
If Hyomei should chance to fail in your
case, ask your druggist TO return your
money and he will do so without ques-
ton. What other treatment for catarrh
or catarrhal colds was ever sold before
on this NO Cure. No Pay" plan?

NO SERVICES TO-DAY.
Rev. BiederwoIf and Prof. SeagIe Will
Take Rest

Inc vilest weather seems TO have no
power 10 Quench the enthusiasm ut the
BiederWolf meetings. Last night though
it was one of the worst of the winter,
the First Presbyterian church was
crowded to the DOORS and standing room
only was available.
Nothing so tests a Kansas audience as
rain, and if on rainy day a good con-
gregation assemblies, it is indication OF
the most unusual interest.
1t has been more than once remarked
that very large proportion of the con-
gregations which gather nightly are men
Mr.. Biederwolf is a mans preacher. He
is manly in delivery and treatment Of his
sermons. He certainly is not afraid TO
tell the truth and does not spare pulpit
or pen. And yet he is singuIarly free
OF the bitterness and acridity and vitup-
Grafton which makes the common-sense
man so disguised with some evangelists.
Yesterday afternoon the largest audi
ence for day service which has vet
greeted Mr.. Biederwolf to hear the first
of his series on 1.-THE Holy Spirit" If
this sermon was a foretaste of what IS
to follow. no Christian can afford 10

people We're out in spite of bad weather.

audience with one of the most beautiful
songs he has yet sung. Face to Face.

Sunday morning at II o'clock Mr. Bieder-
wolf and Mr. Seagle will hold services in

RUNAWAY GIRL
IN WICHITA
But VIII be Sent Home by the
Police.
LIVES IN EAST ST. LOUIS
Came to Wichita Nearly Two
Months Ago.

Mary 4 Nugent was apprehended by
the police yesterday and is being held to
await the advice of her father and grand
parents in East St. Louis III. Nearly two
months ago Mary Nugent ran away from
her home and came to Wichita with the
family OF r. F. Coats. and has lived at
go South Emporia avenue. She is not
quite fifteen years of age, but very
bright girl. As Tar as known. her parents
knew nothing Of her Whereabouts until
last night, when Chief Burt telegraphed
them.
Her mother is dead and her father is
d horse buyer for a st. Louis firm, and is
at home very little Of the time. She
made her home with her grandmOther,
Mrs. Joseph James, at ia Baugh avenue.
She stated last night that she attended
school all OF the time.
Some two months ago she visited at the
r. r. Coats home. A man named Welsh
lived with them. His little daughter was
very sick and Mary Nugent often carried
milk TO this child. Mrs. Coats was also
very sick at the time. and Mary assisted
l. taking care Of her.
When Mr.. Coats moved his family 10
Wichita she came with them without let
ting her relatives know where she was
soing. Last night she said that without
doubt they worried a great deal about
her but she never thought to write to
them and tell them where she was. She
seemed very sorry that she ran away.
and tears came TO her eyes as she talked
about her home. She had a good home.
and was always well treated and ran
away just because she wanted to travel
around.
She was held in the police station last
night and a telegram sent TO her relatives,
and an answer is expected this morning.
She has been staying win the Coats
family since coming here, and 1t was
through a neighbor that the police learned
her story. and she was taken in charge

Yesterday afternoon an old colored man

thirty watches and watch cases and
some rings. He turned the find over to

The watches are cheap ones and in
brass cases The brass had been washed
with a gold solution until they looked
pretty good. The cases were engraved TO
look like high priced watches. The
watches are of the most worthless sort
All would run, but either the crystal or
one hand was broken. The gold solution
had almost entirely disappeared from the
outside of the cases and could be rubbed
of the inside. The whole basket Of
watches and cases was worth about p
