THE BOND ISSUES.

1t is very easy to misunderstood
and misinterpret movements at a dis
lance, but from the best obtain
able information it appears that
the sudden and unforeseen effort
made Tuesday in Kansas City to
defeat the bond issue propositions
was chiefly political and designed to
discredit Mayor Reedaand his admin
istration for the effect it might have
upon his candidacy for the governor.
ship, While all Of the city papers
nomlnally supported all four Of the
propositions it was esteemed doubtful
whether the park bonds and perhaps
the fre-alarm system bonds would be
voted at this time. These were not
so urgent, and since the losses sus-
tanned by the people by flood we're
depressing, 1t was believed that the
issue Of these bonds might be post
poned. But as soon as the polls we're
opened it became apparent that the
political enemies Of Mayor Reed and
the democratic city administration
were organized to defeat the bond
propositions for the purpose OF dis.
crediting Mr.. Reed in the state. TIE
Star, the Times and the Independent
declared at the last moment that
while they favored the bond issues
they doubted the wisdom Of ~entrusting
the expenditure Of the money to the
present administration. Circulars
were distributed every where as if by
magic. The organization Of the con-
spirators seems to have been perfect,
but their purpose was quickly dis
covered by the people, who voted the
bonds on every o of the propositions
lowest carrying by more than
two to one aud the highest by nearly
our to one. Sane and thoughtful
people must see that methods like
his serve to strengthen whom they
ire meant to injure. The vote on
bond issue ought never to have
'een permitted to Lave any political
Iignifcance whatever

Nearly every one who has eatarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but a
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change of climate;
but now with Hyomei YOU can carry a
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four times a day Don cure your
self.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but Sl.OO and consists of an inhaler
that eau be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and if one bottle does not cure an
extra bottle Of Hyomei can be obtain
ed for so cents, 1t is the most econom-
ical Of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only one
that follows nature in her method of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs.
Charles w. LOOMS has sold a great
many Hyomei outfits and the more he
sells the more he is convinced that he
is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to
refund the money if Hyomei does not
cure.

new General Crow and not TO Mr.
Folk, that the only indictment found
at st. Louis was against Farris, who
had been previously Indicted at Jetfer-
son City, and that all OF the persons
who have been indicted at all-iour
in number-have been indicted at
Jefferson City. But II must be re-
membered that the sources Of public
information upon these subjects, the
great daily papers, exhitit every
appearance Of being s~yndicated in the
interest OF a few discarded and dis
credited party leaders who wish to
overthrow the present democratic
organization. Mayor Reeds speech
will amply repay the time Of a care
full perusal. 1t covers the whole field.

Miss May Goelet is said to have
paid four million dollars for the Duke
Of Roxburghe. She might have found
somewhere in America a man Of
equal worth and moral fiber who
would have married her for nothing.
When women are found who are
willing to sell themselves into con-
tempt at home and contempt abroad
for the privilege OF wearing a title,
the inquiry naturally suggests itself,
did we not make a mistake in abolish
ing by constitutional provision all
titles of nobility 10 this country. We
have been taught by such noble ex-
FOUNDERS OF economic principles as
the Pu%mpkintown Herald and the
Aurora Eagle that money spent at
home is doubly blest. Can not Yankee
ingenuity find some way Of providing
home dukes for ambitious heiresses?
Can we not so amend the constitution
that, In lieu of excuses or the pro.
tective tariff or some other form of
taxation which doth so heavily in.
cumber US, we could convert our wi
roues and bankrupt sports into dukes
aud marquiseS, for a consideration,
and thus remove our millionaire girls
and their fond mammas from the
temptations Of the foreign market?
Such a plan could be made to yield 20
inconsiderable revenue. aud surely
any sensible American girl would
prefer a fresh, bran new, home made
duke to a musty foreign one. Taking
Miss G0elet's price as a basis, this
government might obligate itself to
create for ambitious American girls
a duke for $4,000, 900, a marquis for
$4,000, 600, an earl for 81 900, 900, a
count for 81, 900, 900, a vlscoun for
$3.50, 600, a baron for $500, 900, a
baronet $3.50, 900 and so on down
until We reach the untitled and the
unwashed who come last at the table
and are snubbed by the servants.

CURES oATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered, Says
Chas. w. Loomis.

"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered, Says
Chas. w. Loomis.
Do not try to ure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner The only way
in which this too common disease a
be cured is through a direct applica-
tion that will kill the baccili of ca
tarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accomplishes this. 1t
is the simplest, most pleasant and the
only absolute cure for catarrh that
has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimon-
ials have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians
have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but Sl.OO, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will affect a
cure in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and d%eepseated cases of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for SOC. 1t is not alone
the best lit might be called the only
method of curing catarrh, but it is
also the most economical.
Chas. w. Loomis has so much con-
idence in the power of Hyomei to cure
cotarrh that he will for a limited time
sell this medicine under his personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
purchasers a say that it did not
help them.

Elsewhere In this issue will be
found the full text of Mayor Reeds
Sedalia speech formally announcing
his candidacy for the governorship.
1t is a good speech. 1t is careful 10
statement, comprehensive in subject
matter, admirable 10 spirit, and
graceful in phrase. Some others of
Mr.. Reeds speeches may surpass this
n lin %eloquence, but none will be
found TO excel it 10 dignity of spirit
or s~oundness of thought. II this
speech is given wide circulation, it
can hardly fail to affect materially
the estimation in which Mayor Reed
is held, especially in those parts OF
the state where he is known only
through the metropolitan press.
Some Of Mayor Reeds statements
OF fact, especially in regard to the
Doodle revelations and prosecutions at
Jefferson City, do not coincide with
the general impression 10 the public
mind. But so careful is the wording
of Mr.. Reeds historical sketch
throughout that it is impossible to
question their accuracy without i'm
pugning his veracity, which few will
dare TO do. For instance it is not the
general public impression that the
legislative Doodle Investigations were
begun at Jefferson City and not at
st. Louis, that the first Of Lees
many confessions was made to Attor-

Superintendent Greenwood last
week delivered an address before the
teachers in the Kansas City schools
in which he took a pronounced stand
upon the subject of corporal punish
ment. He argued that there are
large numbers i pupils in the schools
who are not amenable to moral sua-
sion, and that the public school is
face to face with the alternative Of
turning these people away to grow
up as criminal and lawless men and
women or to enforce respect for con-
stituted authority by application Of
the rod. Americans have too quickly
outgrown the wisdom OF the ages and
the precept Of Solomon.

Rev. William NJ. Brown, formerly
OF Ohio, now bishop of the Arkansas
diocese Of the Episcopal church says
that while he cannot justify lynching,
he sees no other remedy adequate to
suppress the crime for which this
punishment has been adopted in the
South. He says that as a Northern
man he used to look with horror upon
lynching but that his eyes have beer
opened to the fact that no other
punishment does any good. Bishop
Brown must have realize. the serious
ness Of an expression Of opinion like
this and he must know that unless his
conclusions are sure, his interview
will do much harm.

1t is in this way that Chas. w. Loomis

has made so MANY remarkable cures
of both acute and chronic catarrh in
Lexington and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a

SHAw'S FINANCIAL PLAN.

Secretary Shaw offers as a plan for
promoting elasticity Of circulation
the modification Of federal laws re-
lating to bank issues, so that any
bank may, by depositing approved
bond securities, issue notes to the
amount Of 80 per cent Of the bonds
so deposited, upon the payment of a
circulation tax of say 6 per cent per
annum. He would have the bonds
%returnable to the bank upon deposit
at any sub treasury Of ian amount If
lawful money equal t. the amount Of
the notes issued. He would make
these notes subject to retirement at
the will either OF the banks Of issue
or the comptroller Of the currency.
He holds that the circulation tax Of
6 per cent would insure that issues
would not be made except when there
is strong demand for more money and
that it would insure their prompt
withdrawal when the stringency is
over. Following these premises Sec
Rotary Shaw uses the following re-
markable language:
"The only persons who would know
Of its existence would be the comp
t%roller, the bank, and the few people
who would take sufficient interest in
the published statement of the bank
to compare the volume of circulation
with the amount OF government bonds
on deposit in the treasury. Promi
nent among the benefits, If not the
benefit, would be the sub
stantial guarantee against sudden
Increase in interest rates, and an
important guarantee against
dangerously low rates Of interest"
The first part Of the foregoing
paragraph reminds one OF certain
advertisements Of remedies for the
liquor or morphine habit: "Can be
administered in coffee without the
patient S~uspecting it," And the
,econd part will not be taken serjonSlv
