Terne.

1t is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained by the general
public concerning the true meaning or
many terms in general use. A striking
example of this is the word ''terne" as
applied to tin plate. Usually it is un-
derstood that this word is derived from
the French one, meaning dull" This
is totally incorrect. Terne plate is
sheet or plate of iron and steel covered
with an alloy of tin and lead in the pro-
portion of two-thirds lead and one-third
tin. 1t is this union of the three met
als-iron. lead and tin-that gave rise
to the word terne plate, terne being an
equivalent to the English terne, mean
ing ''threefold.'' The origin of the er-
roneous definition of this term was the
fact that because of the large percent
age of lead used in coating terne plates
it is duller in hue than the ordinary tin
plate, which is frequently designated
bright plate" in colitradistinction TO

GEORGE h. JOHNSTON is
FINDING PLENTY TO DO

John Eberson, right hand man of
George III. Johnston, the theatre pro-
moter who built the Illinois, was in
the city this morning, stopping be-
tween trains on his way north. He
reports that there is much activity in
his line of work. Since leaving here
Mr.. Johnston has built theatres in
jackson, Team, Eimwood, Ind, and
Hamilton, Ohio. He is also engaged
in erecting one at Oklahoma City and
is about to start one at Troy, Ohio.
He has enough work in sight to keep
him busy five years. The theatre at
Hamilton is exactly similar to the
Illinois. The one at Oklahoma City
will cost 100000 and will seat 1000
people. 1t is four stories high in
front and six at the rear and is built
on lot worth $4,000 that the owner
paid 500 for Il few years ago.

CURES CATARRH.
'HyOmei the Most Wonderful Cure for Ca
tarrh Ever Discovered" Says
MavOr

Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs into the stomach: it cannot
be cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common dis
ease can he cured is through a di-
rect application that will kill the
bacilli of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accompanies this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimoni-
ais have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, law
yers, even eminent physicians have
sent strong testimonials as to the
remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard, of
Trenton, y. j., writes: You have my
permission to say that l. believe 'Hyo-
mel to be one of the most wonderful
cures for catarrh and throat trouble
that has ever been discovered. In my
case the effect has been marvellous.
| enclose you money order for two
outfits for friends of mine to whom |
have recommended ''HyOmei" and who
| am anxious shall have the benefit
of this remarkable panacea."
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but S1.OO. consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
over a month. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases but for chronic and
deep seated cases of catarrh. longer
use is necessary. and then extra bot
ties of Hyomei. "a months treatment)
can be obtained for 30 cents. 1t is not
alone the best Git might be called the
only method of curing catarrh. but
it is also the most economical.
T. III. Thomas has so much conf
dence in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh that he will for n limited
time sell this medicine under his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money
if the purchasers can say it did not
help them.

ROAD PLANS COUP
Rock Island May Use Atchison as

OFFICIALS HOLD A CONFERENCE

Best Men to c., r.
/. IL Il.

Officials of the Rock Island system
and of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe were in conference in New York
yesterday discussing details of the
proposed traffic agreement between
the two. The Rock Island people,
dissatisfied with the present arrange
ments with the Southern Pacific,
have made twofold proposition to
the Atchison.
They propose to purchase an inter
est in the Atchison large enough
to give it representation on the
board of directors and to form a
traffic combination whereby the Rock
Island may reach the Pacific coast
independently of the Southern Pa
cific. AS the proposition does not
contemplate control of the Atchison,
it is likely to be accepted.
The annual meeting of the Rock
Island company was held in Jersey

approval of stockholders
Getting HIrs Men
The appointment of S. F. Forbes, of
the Great Northern, as assistant pur-
chasing agent of the Rock Island sys-
tenn, with headquarters at Chicago,
calls attention to the large number
of men whom the Rock Island has
taken from the Great Northern with
in the last six months.
The exodus from Hills road is
ascribed to the influence of Charles
l.. Warren, formerly general mama
ger of the Great Northern and now
assistant to the president of the
Rock Island.
During the last six months the fol-
lowing Great Northern men have left
that road for the Rock Island: j. L.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-01

The Review is told from those in au. thority that at least half a dizen diff ferent enterprises are knocking at the doors of Douglas, which if taken hold of at once, will be the means of em- ploying over 500 skilled laboring men, and make several more large pay rolls. This money distributed in Douglas will be the means of helping every business in the city.
 Among the large enterprises which are mentioned are large sampling works, which would handle ores from Sonora and the rich mineral districts of the Chiricahuas and Swisshelms. as well as the mining centers of New Mexico.
 A large foundry. employing some thing like 100 men, is another enter prise which is waiting to come to Douglas, and would be the means of adding considerable to the business arteries of trade
 The people of Rodeo, New Mexico, are endeavoring to secure from the pOSluldSlcI StHtIdl at WdSUlUSIOu d postoffice for their town, and are just ly entitled to it There is a growing population near Rodeo, and a post office should be established at that point.
 About 100 cowboys. miners and resi- dents of Rodeo receive mail regularly, and they have to go to San Simon, which is nearly forty miles away, to get their mail Some come to Doug las, which is much nearer.
 Steps have been taken by the resi- dents of Rodeo to have a postoffice established. but no work has been re- ceived from Washington.
 The business men of Douglas should take hold of the matter. and lend their assistance in securing this much need ed institution for their neighbor If the matter was properly put before the authorities at Washington, an office might be established in a short time.
