CURES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Disc, vered,'
Saws Mayor Yard.

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 pre-
vent 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 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 sent strong tes-
timonials as to the remarkable powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard, of
Trenton n. j., writes: You have my
permission to say that 1 believe 'Hyomei'
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
beneft of this remarkable panacea.'
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
sl.oo. consisting of an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei to last over a
month. This will effect cure in ordi-
nary cases. but for chronic and deep
seated cases of catarrh. longer use is
necessary, and then extra bottles OF
Hyomei. "a months treatmenD can be
obtained for fifty cents. 1t is not alone
the best Git might be called the only
method of curing catarrh. but it is also
the most economical
The leading druggists have much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. that they will for a linn
tied time. sci this medicine under this per-
sonal guarantee TO refund the money il
the purchasers can say that it did not
helm them.

MORE POWER FOR.
COMMISSIONERS
Bill Is introduced to Have
Them Regulate Freight Rates.
WICHITA COMMERCIAL
Club Is Member of State
Association Backing 1t.

Fl. L. Resting. secretary of the CONNER
cial club. and secretary of the State as
ISOLATION. yesterday received some copies
of the bill looking toward giving more
power to the railroad commissioners The
State association was organized at To-
peka some weeks ago with a view TO hav-
ing the legislature give the commits
sioners more power, and special COM
rnittee from this association is now work
ing at Topeka to secure the passage of
the bill.
The bill is known as senate bill No. IN.
and was presented by Senator Mcmillan.
Of Franklin county. 1t was prepared by
Mr.. Resing and his assistants, and was
referred to the proper committee. and has
met with much favor by the committee
men and other members of the senate.
The bill provides for the comforting of
ample power on the railroad commission
ers that they can regulate the freight and
passenger rates, and provides for the
election of the commissioners by the peo-
pie. The bill Increases the power of the
commission in that their findings. evil
dence conclusions and orders are to be
taken as prima-facia evidence for. their
correctness, and provides that courts are
to make a speedy review of the case and
a summary enforcement of the rules is to
be sustained by the courts.
The provisions of the bill are in strict
accordance with the platforms adopted
by the Republican party during the con-
ventions of the past ten years 1t has
long been known that some law was
needed that would secure a more equita-
BILE adjustment of freight rates in this
state, and prevent the determinations as
they were shown during the meeting of
the Interstate Commerce commission last
September. The Interstate Commerce
commission is also lacking in power to
enforce their ruling. and it was believed
that as far as local business was con-
cerned. state laws would be more eff
fective.
The Commercial clubs of the state have
taken the matter in hand and are work
ing under the direct supervision of Mr..
Resing. who was the first to announce the
plan of organizing the clubs of the state
into one strong organization. The law as
presented is founded on the present laws
of Texas. which state has railroad COM
mission with plenty of power to enforce
all of it's rulings. and the courts of that
state have sustained every decision the
commission made when evidence was in
troduced that proved conclusively that the
rate fixed was just and reasonable.

Jack Bells Relatives Can Not Be
Found.

A man named Jack Bell is dying in the
st. Francis hospital. He was sent there
last week by the poor commissioner and
mas received the best of attention from
the county physician but. yesterday Ii
was announced that he could not posi-
bly, live more than a few days. This man
is stranger in Wichita and has no
friends or relatives that the authorities
arc able to locate. Mr.. Bell said that he

letter to that point brought no reply He
also claimed that he had . Sister-in-law

cate either.
Without friends. relatives or money
Jack Bell presents a very sorrowful APP
pearance in the hospital. He is very sick
and very weak and his death is only a
question of few days. He constantly
asks for some of his relatives. He wants
10 see and talk TO them. and wants com
Iort. He is so sick that he can hardly
talk and his directions regarding his rel
atives are rather vague and would indi-
cate that he had not communicated with
them for some time
