WAR RUMBLINGS.
Honduras Threatens to Invade
Territory of Nicaragua.

New Orleans, Sept. 22-Advices of the
expected invasion of the Nicaraguan re-
public by soldiers from Spanish Hon
duras to enforce that countrys conten-
ton that Nicaragua in giving a cOnces-
sion to a Pittsburg, Pa, syndicate
granted rights on territory which be-
longed to Honduras, reached this city
via the American steamship Breakwater
from Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras.
Last month a commission headed by
General Ordonez was sent by President
Bonilla, of Spanish Honduras, to Cape
Gracias to notify the collector of port
there that if the Nicaraguan republic
did not recognize certain rights claimed
by Honduras along the Wanks river,
separating Honduras and Nicaragua,
that war would be proclaimed by Presi-
dent Bonilla. The customs officials and
military authorities at Cape Gracias
lack the authority to act with HOndu-
ras' request so General Ordonez and his
colleagues returned to Tegucigalpa
warning the Nicaraguans to be on the
lookout for an invasion provided the
Hondurian rights were not respected.
President Zelaya on being notified i'm
mediately garrisoned Cape Gracias.
Unless an amicable settlement of the
boundary dispute is effected there is u
strong probability that war viii be de-
clared.

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own
Method Every Breath of Hyomei
Brings Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
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 70 cure catarrh
would be to have a CHI r. of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest pock-
ct and by breathing it few minutes
four times day soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket. a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomef The
inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bot
tie does not cure. an extra bottle of
Hyomei can be obtained for so cents
1t is the most economical of all rene
dies advertised for the cure of catarrh,
and is the only one that follows nature
in her method of treating diseases of the
respiratory organs.
Geo. W. Stansfield. druggist 632 Kan
sas avenue has sold a great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is per-
fectly safe in guaranteeing to refund
the money if Hyomei does not cure.

Representative /. NJ. Linton, of Smith

Mr.. Linton says that the murdered
women were excellent people, standing

ROLLS 100000 LESS.
Decrease in Pensions at the Topeka
Agency.

There has been a decrease in the rolls
of the pension agency at Topeka during
the past year as is evidenced by the
fact that the pension rolls for the last
quarter are smaller by $4,000 than those
sof the same quarter year ago. Judging
from the nature of the decrease it may
be concluded that the pension business
of the United States has reached its
high tide and that henceforth it viii go
down. Speaking of the change Captain
Drew, chief clerk in the pension agency,
said:
THE only class of pensions now in
creasing is the $12 class. This is due
to the fact that many soldiers who have
been receiving from S6 to IS a month are
having their pensions increased to So a
month. The Sc and IS classes are both
decreasing. So are the higher classes
the $50. $45 and $72. AS a rule the SOL
der who is drawing from $50 to $72 a
month pension was pretty badly shot
to pieces and it is only natural that he
should die first. Most of the old SOL
diers are married and when they die
leave widows who receive $12 month. ="

sTUNTED THE CORN.
mr.. Linton Says Frost Didn't Injure
It for Feeding.

While the recent frost injured the late
corn in the northwestern part OF the
state by making it unmarketable, 1t VIII
not specially affect the yield and may
result in an increased number OF cattle
being fed the coming winter.
This is the report brought to Topeka
by L. NJ. Linton of Lebanon, who repre-
scented Smith county in the legislature
last winter.
1.-The frost injured the late corn to the
extent that the kernels will be loose on
the cob" said Mr.. Linton. THE corn
will not be as heavy as it otherwise
would be, and it would not merchant
able corn, but it will still be good for
feeding purposes. This kind of corn will
probably be considerably cheaper than
the good corn, and this will result in
more cattle being fed. in my opinion.
1T will not make a very great differ
ence with the yield. but the chief differ
ence will be in the grade of the corn
Most of our corn was early enough TO
escape damage by the frost. Further
west in Norton county the frost was
heavier than in Smith and the damage
is still greater but it did not extend
very far east of us"

left behind. Madison was followed to
the home of a relative several miles
north, where he said he had got in
fight with a man and had nearly killed
him, and was trying to get away. His
clothes were bloody and this was the
explanation he gave for their condition.
He was allowed to sleep while, and
when pursuing party arrived several
hours later. the officers were told that
he was there. When the officers
searched the house, however. Madison
could not be found. and it is supposed
that he slipped out and into a corn field
when he saw the posse coming. He
has not been heard of since although
bloodhounds were secured and an at
tempt was made to track him, but with
no result.
From these facts Mr.. Linton says
there is no doubt among the people of
Smith county but what Madison COM
mitted the crime.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy IN the World
Except a Surgical Operation,
That Will Certainly Cure
ANY Form of Piles.

The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly adVer-
tised pretensions of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction
TO find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been number of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, supDositOries and even in
ternal remedies which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing APP
preaching a radical cure resulted from
these preparations.
The remedy required is one which

we're in many cases of piles, and then
by contracting the small blood-vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-

finally absorbing the tumors and heal

Until a few years ago. no such rem
edy had been produced but at that
time a suppository was placed upon the
market which has since proven itself
to be the long-sought permanent cure
for this common and distressing
trouble; it has rapidly become famous
throughout the United States and Can
ada. and is now sold by all druggists
under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known. because its
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word Of mouth. from one sufferer to
another; people who have tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operations
without avail, have finally found that
piles can be cured without pain and

MURDERED WITH SYRINGE,
Victim Dies from Poison Admins
tered by Hypodermic Injection.

New York. Sept. ga case of muir
der by the injection of poison by means
OF hypodermic syringe is reported.
says a London dispatch to the Herald
by the Moscow correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who writes that an unpleas-
ant smell proceeding from a wicker
basket, which arrived as luggage at the
Brest railway station in Moscow and
for which no claimant appeared, caused
an examination to be made when the
body of a well dressed man was found
An examination showed that death had
resulted through the injection of poison
under the skin by means of a syringe.
Inquiries were instituted which proved
that the man was a well to do land
owner named Martin Tomasheffsky.
The perpetrators of the crime have
been discovered.
The chain of evidence is so complete
that they have admitted their guilt. The
circumstances under which the deed
was committed are of a highly sensa-
tional character. Tomasheffsky had no
occupation and resided al a hotel. He
was passionately fond of card playing,
and visited a club every night where he
played for heavy stakes and was, as a
rule, very fortunate. On the day of
the murder his cousin called at the
hotel and asked him to come to his
mothers house to play cards with two
other friends of the family.
Then at a given signal he was seized.
his mouth covered so that he could not
cry for assistance and the poison was
injected under the skin of the forehead.
The three men then watched the effects
of the poison for about half an hour,
at the same time taking his money
from his pocket, which they divided
among themselves. After their victim
died they placed the body in a basket
and one of the men tied piece of cord
tightly around the throat to make sure,
as he says, there could be no further
trouble with the murdered man.
The perpetrators of the crime were
confident that their social positions
would prevent any suspicious falling
on them. 1t was only after the strong
chain of evidence had been completed
that they confessed. Ill
