CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
VoeeelI Bros. Drug Co. Say Hyomei VIII

antee. ..

The season for hay fever is almost at
hand and many people feel that they will
be obliged to leave town in order to avoid
the sneezing, Watery eyes and other an
noying symptoms of this disagreeable
summer disease.
Vogeli Bros. Drug Co. wish us to an
nounce that when Hyomei is used, either
as preventive or cure, there will be no
hay fever. They advise the use of
Hyomei daily for two or three weeks be-
fore the usual time for the annual APP
pearance Of hay fever. In this way the
attack will be prevented. If, however,
the preventive treatment was not started
soon enough and the disease comes on,
use Hyomei six or seven times daily and
also rub Hyomei Balm thoroughly into
the nostrils both morning and night.
This treatment will relieve at once and
give speedy and permanent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your own
home, climate filled with ozone and
healing balsams, the same air that one
breathes at the White Mountains or other
health resorts.
There Is no stomach dosing when Hy-
omei Is used. 1t is Natures own method

CONGRESSMEN RETURN
Members of Military Affairs Com
mittee Back From Yellowstone.

Congressman Capron, Croft, Stafford
and Stevens of the house committee on
military affairs, accompanied by Brig.
Gen. Kobbe, returned yesterday to St.
Paul from the Yellowstone National park.
Other members of the committee went on
to the Pacific coast.
According to Mr. Stevens, the congress-
men were delighted with the reception
arranged in their honor by citizens of ST.
Paul and Minneapolis. The committee
gained a most favorable impression OF
Fort Smelling and it's advantages. ANY
thing in reason that we may ask for

housewife. Mr.. Stewart conceived the
idea of establishing milk stations turnout
the dairy districts and equipping them
with machinery sufficient to handle the
entire milk supply of the contributing ter
ritory These stations were to be con-
Quoted by capable business men who
should find a market for the product.
Accordingly Mr.. Stewart built the world
first creamery and employed a man named
Van Dusen as the first professional but
termaker. Van Dusen is now over 80
years old and will be at the St. Louis
fair to add interest to the Iowa exhibit.
Butter from this first creamery received
first prize at the St. Louis fair in 1873
and 1874 and at the Centennial exposition
at Philadelphia in 1875. It received first
prize again at the international Dairy
fair at New York in 1878 and second prize
at the Royal Agricultural exhibit at Lon
don in 1879.
Due to this advertisement creameries
were built turnout the middle west and
the sale of milk soon became one Of the
most profitable bra nches of farming. AT
one time Mr. Stewart owned six Of the
largest creameries in Iowa, but when he
moved to Minneapolis in 1892 he gave uI
his interest in butter manufa cture and de-
voted his entire time to travelling and
organizing creameries in the western
coast states. From then until the time
of his death in March, 1903, he lived ir
Southeast Minneapolis. His wife and son
N. P. Stewart Of the Fifeld Law and Col.
| lection Agency, still reside here.
| Many of the large buttermakers are
| agitating the question Of erecting a, mon
| ument to John Stewart as it was thru his
successful work that the great possibil
! tiles of the butter industry were shown
| to the world. The matter will be dis
cussed with manufacturers of other states
in which Mr.. Stewart worked at tn,
worlds fair and will undoubtedly result IL
| a quick and liberal response.

ANYTHING TO BEAT
Town and Country Golfers Are Cha.
grined Over Their Repeated
Defeat by Minikahda.
Propose to Substitute a Special
Three-Men Contest for the
~ Regular Matches.

Apparently discouraged by their re-
peated defeats at the hands of the Mini
kahda golfers, the members of the Town
and Country club are trying to devise
some new -kind Of contest * which they
can beat the Minneapolis experts
A tentative proposition has been made
to the Minikahda men by the Town and
Country for a team match with three
men on each side; one man to do all the
driving, another all the mid iron work,
and the third all the putting. In con-
test of this kind Town and Country would
stand a good show Of victory.
The situation briefly is this: Town and
Country has half a dozen men who are
in the front rank Of golfers in the north
west, but their members as a class do
not play as good golf as the MinikahdanI
Minikahda has won every one of the team
matches between the two clubs during
the past two seasons. The first five of
Town and Country's team will show up
as well as the best quintette Minikahda
can produce. Minikahda's best ten, how
ever, will beat a similar number from
Town and Country in a majority of the
| matches; Minikahda's best fifteen will do
even better, and a team of from twenty
| to thirty men from Minikahda will beat
| a team of like number from Town and
| Country nearly every time. AS a prom
| inent Minikahda golfer remarked recent
| ~
as our fifteenth"
| Town and Country's first five, as stated
| will play at least even with Minikahda
| That was demonstrated at the state tour
nament last year, when Town and Coun.
| try won the Spalding cup for teams OF
| five, in addition to winning the state
| championship, the prize for the runner
| up, and the prize for the best medal score
in the qualifying round. The Minikahds
men believe, however, that team match
| cannot be considered a real test of the
golfing strength Of the two clubs, unles:
at least ten men compete on each side
and the larger the teams, the better thu
| test.
With three such men as Doran, Schur
meier and Bend competing in specia
and Country the st. Paul men woult
stand an excellent chance Of victor.
against any club west of Chicago. Th
Minikahdans do not think, however, tina
such a contest would be a fair test o
strength Of the two clubs, and they ar
strongly opposed to substituting a freak
contest for the team matches which haV
been customary.
1--WE took our medicine when Town an
Country beat us for two years straight,

, likely that Town and Country will pres
its request for the substitution of tire
| men matches for the present team con
: tests but in that case a break of rela
lions between the two clubs Is probable
Minikahda would undoubtedly be w1ll1n
to arrange any number Of special contests
but not to do away with the regula
team matches

Iowa Will Show Unique Honor to
John Stewart Of Min

He Started First Creamery in the
World in Iowa in
1872.

Iowa's dairy and creamery exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition will be mainly
in the form of a memorial to the late John
Stewart of Minneapolis. the pioneer
creameryman of the world. The chief
features of the exhibit will be FAC
smile Of Mr. Stewards first creamery,
which was built at Manchester, Iowa, in
1872 and life-sized statue of Mr..
Stewart, made entirely Of butter, which
will be kept frozen in a glass case thru
out the exposition. Mr.. Stewards medals,
received for high scoring butter will also
be exhibited
At the outbreak Of the rebellion, John
Stewart enlisted in the Thirty ninth Ohio
infantry and was mustered out after four
years of active service. He settled In
Manchester shortly after At that time
over SO per cent Of the milk production
of the country was wasted on account Of
the inability of the farmer to manufacture
any considerable amount of butter and
cheese. Public creaneries were unknown
at that time and the farm COWS were sim

CHARGES PETER OUT
John Goodnow Will Not Have to
4. Stand Investigation,

John Goodnow has written friends here
that he will not sail for home until some
time in October. He had intended to
leave in June and proceed straight to
Washington to reply to the charges filed
against him, but it Is said that President
Roosevelt has concluded that there Is no
real basis for the charges, and that the
original instructions to Goodnow have
been countermanded, SO he can return at
his leisure This change in the situation
has been brought about partly by the in
PREVENTION Of T. e. Byrnes and other
friends at home, and partly by letters
from American residents Of Shanghai who
indorse the consul and declare that the
charges are the result Of spite work by
the friends of Former Consul Jernigan.
