The Church League Championship.
To the Editor Of Tha Evening Starr

The public not being acquainted with the

there has been q meeting of the board, and
that the Gunton team has been awarded
the championship in the Church Base Ball
League This announcement comes as

ject of this meeting and were not there
fore, present A notice was issued Monday
calling a meeting for the following day at
4:3O o'clock in the Office of the president, to
consider the suggestion made in a recent
editorial Of The Star, that a committee be
selected to arbitrate the controversy. Not
withstandng the short notice given a suffi-
Client number of directors were enabled to
be present to constitute a quorum. The
real object of the meeting. however. was
business to be transacted was the award
of the championship, as above stated.
The Temple team has always been in
favor Of The Stars suggestion that an arbi-
tration committee be appointed. or Of the
plan of playing a series of games to def
nitely decide the matter. Another meeting
of the full board of directors has been re-
quested, when tho matter of the champion
ship will be definitely settled and the public
relieved from further discussion. Until
then. the Temple team will retain the cham
pionship awarded 1t at a meeting of the

the true spirit of the constitution. Its
claim as the winner of the trophy is based
not upon the mere dictum of quorum"
but by virtue Of greater number Of games

It's all right to bench my players, but
don't take my job. and say who'll catch the

FIGURES FOR TIE PEOPLE.
Eagle Will Show What the Official
City Books Show.

Yesterday an Eagle reporter was de-
tailed to make thorough comparative
inquiry and examination into. and of,
the business affairs of the city under
the different administrations for some
years back, and from day to day, as he
has the work ready, the results will be
given in these columns No figures will
be given that are not taken from the
treasurerers books, and they viii be
certified and sworn to by both the city
treasurer and the city clerk.
Facts. and not street rumors and ire
sponsible statements from irresponsible
street politicians, are what the business
earners of this city want. This is what
the Republican administration of the
city, headed by Ben Mclean, want, and
they have told the Eagle that they will
afford its reporter every opportunity and
facility to accomplish his purpose
This city is one big family of $4,000

government-and if it is shown. as it will
be, that Ben Mclean has cared for the
interests of this great big family. then it
will be expected of them TO support him
and indorse the wise and progressive ad-
ministration he and his council and city
officers have gwen them.
The figures are coming. and ali the
Eagle asks is that the people will study
them closely, from time to time, as they
are given. They will undeceive those
who are opposed to Mr.. Mclean, and be-
ing undeceived it is hoped that they will
be square enough and manly enough &c
acknowledge to themselves. at least. their
error and make amends for it by voting
intelligently and with justice TO a good
mayor and a good administration. The
facts will not only undeceive those who
have been deceived. but many viii be
amazed to think how easily they were de-
ceived and TO the extent they were de-
ceived.
This should not be a campaign of de-
ceptive buncombe: it should be, and win
be. a campaign of cleanliness, fairness.
moderation and truth. The Republicans
viii aim TO force the opposition to the
same methods. and if the opposition fails
then they should justly receive the con-
demnation OF every man and woman
who desires TO vote intelligentIy and fer
the best interests OF the city in whose
destiny they are involved. 1t is assumed
that majority Of the men in the oppo-

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T.
"A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four
Times a Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure Of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breathe it for a few min
utes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple a
way for treating catarrh will effect a
cure, but the most important discoveries
of science have always been the simplest.
BY breathing Hyomei in this way every
particle OF air that enters the air pas
sages OF the throat and head goes into
the lungs, is charged with a healing bal
sam that kills the germs and bacilli of
catarrh and soothes and allays all irri-
tation.
The first days use of Hyomei will show
a decided improvement and in a short
time there will be no further trouble
from catarrh. It's action is rapid and
lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs $1.O0 and if after
using you can say that it has not helped
you your druggist viii return your money
What other treatment for catarrh is sold
under a guarantee like this? None other
has sufficient merit.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EffectuaI and Convenient Cure
for Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies there is no end. but
of catarrh cures, there has always been
a great scarcity. There are many reme-
dies to relieve, but very few that really
cure.
The old practice of snuf1ing salt water
through the nose would often relieve.
and the washes, douches, powders and
enhaiers in common use, are very little.
if any. better than the old fashioned salt
water douche.
The use of inhalers and the application
of salves, washes and powders to the
nose and throat TO cure catarrh is no
more reasona bic than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Catarrh IS just
as much blood disease as kidney trouble
or rheumatism and it can not be cured
bv local treatment any more than they
can be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the blood and
system, and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan and the remarkable
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internally it drives
out catarrhal infection through action
upon stomach, liver and bowels
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph, relates
an experience with catarrh which is Of
value TO millions of catarrh sufferers
everywhere. He says: Il neglected a
slight nasal catarrh until it gradually
extended to my throat and bronchial
tubes and finally even my stomach and
liver became affected, but as l was able
to keep up and do q days work l let
It run along until my hearing began to
fail me and then I realized that ! must
get rid OF catarrh or lose my position
as ! was clerk and my hearing was abso-
lutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve but they
were no good in my case. nor was any
thing else until 1 heard of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and bought a package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in less than four
months 1 was completely cured Of catarrh
although I had suffered nearly all my
life from it.
''They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to use than other catarrh
remedies that / feel can not say enough
in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
