The term which IS now coming TO a
close has been a most remarkable one

Der Of cases than ever before. dis

relief as Hyomei in the treatment of
catarrh
The first breath Of this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated and

of the reports from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei read
like miracles.

they told me that the disease was in
durable on account of my age. After
using Hyomei a short time l was
greatly benefited and can now say
that I am entirely cured. II has been
six rlonths since I stopped using the
remedy and I still remain cured.
In nearly every town and village OF
the country can be found those who
have been cured of catarrh by Hyo-
mel. In savannah there are probably
over thousand people whose health
has been restored by this remarkable
treatment
Knights Pharmacy Company have
sold package after package and every
one has been with their personal guar

not cure. Only two outfits have been
returned. and in each instance the

Mr.. CIRCUIT EXPLAINS
Those With Him Have Aban-
doned Connecting Principle.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Edward M.
Grout, the Tammany candidate for
comptroller, in his letter of accept
ance made public tonight, says:
Party issue has been squarely put
into the campaign by those who pro-
fess the contrary. Until this was re-
vealed I was committed to the sup
port of Mayor Low and resented the
bitter and prejudiced attacks made
upon his personality by the district at
torney. 1t is now clear that Mayor
Low was in accord with the Repub-
lican schemes of taxation which have
of late years been so hostile to the in
terests of the city of New York and
have so steadily increased it's contribu-
ton to the expenses of state govern
ment.
II have been reproached as a traitor
and as an apostate. A change of opin-
ion when the facts and the circum-
stances changed is neither treachery
nor apostacy. Once it became clear to
me that this contest had lost it's pre-
tense of a non-partisan discussion of
local questions, that those who were
with me had abandoned the only prin-
ciple which held US together, that the
fusion party had become essentially
Republican, then inevitably l go with
the Democratic party"

These proposals are that Russia shall

guards; that she renounce her forest

Special to The Globe.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct 1S.-United
States Senator Dubois, of Idaho, says:
"The Mormons already cast nearly
one-fourth of the entire voting strength
in Idaho, and, as a rule, they vote
as directed by the church authorities
at Salt Lake. The strength of the
Mormons in Idaho has just been shown
by the appointment, on Senator Hell
burns recommendation, of Bishop
Woolley, high officer in the Mormon
church, to the position of assayer at
Boise City. The appointment has
aroused great antagonism, with the re-
suit that many citizens are agitating
the enactment by the Idaho legislature
of law to disfranchise all Mormons.
Formerly all the Mormons were dis
franchised in Idaho, and the state con-
stitution gives the legislature author
ity to again disfranchise them by civil
enactment"
Dubois position is important be-
cause, as member of the committee on
elections. he will pass on the protest
against permitting Senator elect
Smoot, of Utah, to retain his seat in
the senate.
