CURES cATARRH
'Hyomei tho Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered,
Says Voe9eli Bros.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can be
cured is through direct application that
will kill the bacilli Of catarrh and prevent
their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method Of
treatment that accomplishes this. It Is
the simplest most pleasant and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most prom
inent men and women in the country who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have given strong tes-
timonials as to the remarkable powers of
Hyomei to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, consisting of an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomef to last several weeks.
This will effect a cure in ordinary cases.
but for chronic and deep-seated cases
of catarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles Of Hyomei can be
obtained for SOC. It is not alone the best
ut might be called the only method OF
curing catarrh, but 1t is also the most
economical
Voegeli Bros. have 50 much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that they will for limited time, sell this
medicine under their personal guarantee
to refund the money If the purchasers can
say that it did not help them.

Constantinople, Sept. 21.-The Servian
governments reply to the portes repre-
sensations says measures have been taken
to prevent bands entering Macedonia and
that a strong band which was preparing to
cross the frontier has already been dis
persed ..
rs The Servian reply adds, however. that If
the persecution of Christians and the ex-
cesses Of the Turkish troops continue and
serious reforms are not introduced the
government will be unable to restrain the
popular agitation In Servia.
The unfavorable comment aroused by
the appointment of Reshid Pasha, the
former vail Of Beirut to be vail Of Brusa,
which Is really a promotion, continues.
The action Of the porte in this connec-
ton is regarded here as challenge to
the representatives Of the powers, es-
pecially to the American minister, who 1t
Is thought, Is likely to protest and may
possibly demand Reshtd Pasha's recall
from Brusa in the interests Of the
American educational establishment in
that vilayet.
Reports from Beirut say the appoint
ment of Hahn Pasha, to be vail Of Bel
rut, has caused disappointment. The in
habttants expected that Nazim Pasha. the
vail of Syria, who inspired confidence by
his conduct when he became acting vail
after Reshid Pasha's removal, would be
made vail.

PROTECTION TO
BE THE ISSUE
Continued from First Page.

country, in the end he will triumph. If
this shall prove to be correct, the day
may be near at hand when the, United
States and England will be levying re-
taliatory tariffs against each others
goods.
There is much more protection in the
Chamberlain idea than was at first sup
posed. Men who have recently been in
England and who have made a careful
study of the situation there, comforting
with members Of the cabinet and all the
political leaders, say the truth Of the
business is that Mr.. Chamberlain went
off half cooked.
AS he first proposed his scheme, he
would have had a small preferential tariff
for the benefit of the colonies. This
meant a tariff on breadstuffs the ''dear
loaf" To make the pill palatable he pro-
posed old age pensions for the working
men. But the workingmen repudiated the
whole thing. They are against the dear
Loaf and they do not want to be bought
up with old age PENSIONS. Besides, it was
discovered a small tariff on which to base
a preferential would not do the colonies
much good. ., ....5
Compelled to shift his ground, Mr.
Chamberlain is now turning his attention
to an out and out protection policy. He
has not announced the details of his pro-
ject, but there is little doubt that wher
he brings it out, as he Is expected to dc
in week or SO, it will be found to have
as it's chief feature, not preferential tariff
for the colonies alone, but tariff tt
protect British manufacturers and pro.
ducers from foreign competition.
The competition most feared is that o.
the United States and Germany. Cham
berlain's followers in the United King.
dom have got so far that they openly an.
nounce themselves as protectionists. They
say the United Kingdom is a dumping
ground" for American and German manu-
facturers, and they want to levy a small
tariff that will keep those goods out ant
give the home manufacturer a chance
Of course, this scheme would not involv,
such tariffs as we have in the United
States, with from 40 to 100 per cent az
valorem duties. but it would be pro
tective tariff in principle.

MELNlk Is BESlEGED
Insurgents Surround Important Strategic
Point Near Bulgarian Frontier.

Saloniki, Sept. 21.-A special dispatch
from the monastery of Ria, Bulgaria,
says that the condition of the Turkish
garrison of Melnik, sixty-hve miles north
east of here, is believed to be extremely
critical. 1t IS besleged by bands of In
surgents under the leadership Of Yarkoff,
Stoyanoff, Darlington and Zografoff, all
OF whom were formerly Bulgarian Off
GERS. The insurgents number 1900, while
the garrison Is believed to consist Of only
one battalion. Melnik is a very impor-
tant stragetic point in the mountains
commanding the road between Dem
irhissar and Razlog. The Turks have
withdraw WIN nearly all their forces from the
districts Of Danaoumaia and Razlog to
send them to the relief Of Melnik
4 AS consequence unusual tranquility
prevails turnout the district Of Razlog,
where the authorities, lacking the support
of the troops, have ceased their policy
of persecution, and the beys are even
furnishing bands with food. The Turk
ish population is described as being in a
state of great CONSERVATION. com
pany Of Turkish soldiers and Bashi- Ba-
zouks recently found the hiding place of
100 families Of refugees from the villages
of Dupeni and Echla. near Resen. They
captured the party, violated the women
and committed other atrocities.
The united bands Of Monassieff and
Michailof have had an encounter with the
troops near Demirk- Kapu, sixty-two
miles northwest Of Saloniki The Turks
had many killed, including two officers.

LYNCH Law
IN DELAWARE
A Clarion Voice From the Bench
Speaks Out Against the
Disgrace.
Justice Love Declares That the
Lynchers Must Be Punished
by the Courts.

Wilmington. Del, Sept. 21.-Chief JUS
tice Lore Of the Delaware supreme court
day delivered strong charge to the
grand jury which is considering the Grim
inal work of the county courts. After
reciting the details Of the murder on June
Is Of Helen Bishop by George White and
the subsequent lynching Of White by a
mob, Justice Lore said:
1.-THE crime of George White and his
punishment are not before us. Upon his
body human vengeance has done its work
If the matters concerned George White
alone, there would be nothing left for our
consideration
But for the first time, the lawless and
revolving crime of lynching has invaded
this state. We have heard Of lynching as
q punishment for horse stealing in the
south and west and for horntcides, rapes
and other crimes elsewhere; but we flat
tered ourselves that such scenes could
not occur in our community, composed as
it Is largely of that good old English stock
whose obedience to law has been one of
the secrets of our civilization and Of the
safety of our people, We are now con-
fronted, however, with this crime, and
must meet it, Shall we invite it's vista
ton in the future by acquiesence in it's
perpetua ton or make such crime here
after improbable If not impossible by deal
ing out punishment?
mo good citizen, we are persuaded, can
regard the lynching of George White in
any other light than as brutal crime and
as fragrant violation Of law. ---
Gentlemen, in this country We make
| our laws. It is the duty Of every good
| man to obey the law himself and to see
| that it is obeyed by others as far is pos
sible. Lynching is a crime against the
law of both God and man. Every wilfull
participant in such an act is a murderer.
| No man has right to commit that crime
because he believes or fears that some
! other person who IS entrusted with the
| execution of the law will fail or has failed
| in the performance of his duty. IS.
Under the law, we know what our
rights are and, in the main, we find that
| they are fairly attained and enforced.
No human laws or human institutions
are perfect. This no reasonable man will
/ expect.
| I'm obedience to the oath you have
taken and to your duty to your state, we
ask you to SO act that the crime Of lynch
ing may be suppressed in this state, so
far as by your action that end may be
attained; and that the perpetrators Of this
crime and the authors of the disgrace
that has come upon US thru their crime,
shall be dealt with according to their just
merits.
ITO you the people look for faithful
fearless and honest discharge of your
duty. They ask nothing more, and expect
nothing less
