GUARANTEED BY YOUR DRUGGIST
Hyomei the Only Cure for Ca
tarrh Which Returns Your
Money IL Not Satisfactory.

1t is seldom that druggist has enough
faith In the medicine he sells even when
prepared by himself, to be willing to refund
the money II II does not cure; but Hyomei
has cured SO many cases Of catarrh that
leading druggists everywhere offer to refund
the money TO all who use 1t and report that
they are net satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most convenient
remedy for catarrh ever offered to the pub
lie. Breathed through an inhaler so small
that 1t can be carried in the vest pocket,
for few minutes four times a day, II
Will absolutely kill all the germs of catarrh
and cure the disease
Catarrh cannot exist where Hyomei IN
used. II has two-fold notion, killing all
the germs In the air passages and lungs
and soothing and healing the irritated mu-
cous membrane.
Some OF the most prominent men and
women Of the country have gladly given tes-
timonisls to Hyomei. After seeking relief
in vain for years, this wonderful remedy has
cured them of catarrh, and II is no wonder
that they want others to know Of it.
Rev. DIR. STRIKER, Of the Saith Street
Church, OF New York City. writes: "Hyomei
gives wonderful relief In catarrh when other
remedies have failed. 1t has been Of great
service to me- .,+
II you have catarrh, accepv-fsis liberal

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
William Newman Tried Twice to End
His Life.

Despondent because Of financial troubles
resulting from lack of employment, William
Newman Of 345 X street southwest made
two attempts yesterday to end his life. The
attempts were made by inhaling illuminat-
ing gas and the second one came near
proving fatal. About a year ago he made
an attempt to take his life with Rough on
Rats Yesterday afternoon his wife found
him in the bath room with the gas turned
on but he was not unconscious. The wife
turned off the gas and escorted her husband
from the room. Last night she was afraid
to remain in the house. and about $3.50
o'clock neighbors complained to the police
that the mans peculiar conduct had at
tracted their attention. Sergeant Jack went
to the house and found the man in an I'M
conscious condition in one Of the sleeping
rooms. The gas was turned on. Medical
assistance was summoned and the Ill man
was restored to consciousness. Newman
was then taken to the fourth precinct police
station and held on suspicion of being in
sane. DR.. Marburg examined the prisoner
this morning and declared him insane. He
will probably be sent to the asylum this
afternoon. Newman is twenty-six wears
old and formerly lived in Anne Arundel
county, Md.

census is to be taken gratis. In many Of
the churches pretty young women church
members have volunteered and will start

Achievements Of Joe Trigg.

From the Britt Qowa) Tribune.
Word comes from Rockford that Joe Trigg
has succeeded in grating a watermelon on
a pond lily root and now has a melon float
ing in the millpond that Is over thirty feet
in diameter and still growing. His idea II
to grow them until cold weather comes,
when they will be cut loose and fires built
In them. The hot water and steam will
melt the ice as they float south and the
river can thus be kept navigable all winter.
He will now try grating a corn stalk on
the melon rind and expects next year to
raise a hundred bushels of shelled corn in
the place Of useless seeds. 1t will solve
the transportation problem. The melon can
be cut loose in the fall and the crop foated
to New Orleans. when the rind can be
obened and the corn raised to the elevator.
It may make Rockport a seaport.

NEW INDICTMENTS FOUND.
Mental Science Healer Charged With
Fraudulent Use Of the Mails.


Four new indictments were found in the
United States court at Tampa, Fla. yester-
day against Mrs. Charles c. Post alias
Helen Wilmans, also one against Colonel
Charles c. Post and Charles F. Burgman
the Seabreeze metal science healers, charg-
ing them with fraudulentiy using the
United States mails.
The defendants are charged with sending
out literature advertising absent treat
ment' for disease. Other indictments were
found at the last term of the United States
court in Jacksonville 1t is not probable
that the cases will come up at this term
of the court, as it has been announced that
court will adjourn in few days.
This case occupied the attention OF the
Post Office Department officials for con-
ter was brought up after the arrest of Mrs.
Post and her associates and as result OF
the investigation bys the post office In
spectors a fraud order was issued against
Mrs. Posts concern despite the strenuous
efforts of the persons concerned to have
the postal officials take opposite action. 1t
appears that when sitheE@ case was first
brought up the defendants rested their case
on the fact that many cures had been
effected by them. This,2 however, was not
the phase of the matter that the postal off,
Gals commended was fraud
The department does mot pretend to de-
liver an opinion as to- the merits Of the
faith cure and mental science propaganda,
as 1t cannot express AN opinion one way
or the other, and cannot consistently make
a ruling on something about which 1t knows
nothing The ruling of the department was
against the methodsnpraeticed by the de-
PENDANTS in this case as 1t has been in
other cases Of a similar charac ter
1t appears that Mrs Post posed as a
healer, and advertised to cure all ills and
Affections by absent treatment where the

that she engaged typewriter to reply to
