LECTURE BUREAU MAKES
VEXATIOUS MISTAKE

Word has been received by the To-
cal Y. NJ. c. y. that the date here of
Russell Ill. Conwell, who was to have
lectured at the Illinois theatre April
, ON the association lecture course,
has been cancelled by the Lyccum
bureau with which his engagement
was made.
The bureau writes that they have
definite contract with Mr.. Conwell
stating the exact time he is to give
to the various territories, and that in
reporting this time from the eastern
to the western Office there was an err
ror made whereby a period was given
the western office that should not
nave been so assigned. Thus Conwell
was booked for Rock Island on date
when he must be i'm Philadelphia.
The matter is wholly an error on
the part of the Rcdpath bureau and
a promise has been made to make it
good by placing Mr.. Conwell here at
a date slightly later. The lecture
course committee does not care to
make substitution and will not do
so unless such a course is unavoida-
BILE. Announcement will be duly made
Of the success of the negotiations
now pending.

GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use of HyOmei Cures Most Stub
born Case of Catarrh.

No other medicine gives such
prompt relief as Hyomei in the treat
ment of catarrh.
The first breath of this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and the regu-
lar use for a few days or weeks will
cure the most stubborn case. Some
of the reports from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei
read like miracles.
John S. Gray, of Redmond Hills,
Pa. writes: Il am 50 years old and
have been a sufferer with catrarrh in
the head for 25or 80 years. L have
doctored with many specialists and
they all told me that the disease was
incurable on account of my age. Al
ter using Hyomei 4 short time l was
greatly benefited and can now say
that l am entirely cured. 1t has been
six months since | stopped using the
remedy and | still remain cured"
In nearly every town and village of
the country can he found those who
have been cured of catarrh by Hyo-
mel. In Rock Island there are prob
ably over a thousand people whose
health has been restored by this re-
marka BILE treatment.
II. III. Thomas has sold package af-
ter package and every one has been
with his personal guarantee to refund
the money If It did not cure. Only
two outfits have been returned and
in each instance the money was paid
back without question.
You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomci and your word decides the
question as to whether you pay for
the remedy or not.
Can you afford to suffer longer with
catarrh when you can buy guar
anteed treatment on this plan?

The Next Race Promises to BE Very

Tallahassee, Fla, May 19.-Gov. Jen-
nings continues to keep the politicians
guessing by the manner in which he
persists in saying nothing in regard to
the senatorial situation.
Is Jennings going to be a candidate
for the United States Senate? is a
vexing question. Some say he will not.
and others are equally confident that
he win not only enter the contest, but
will go in with every indication fav-
orable to success.
AS United States Senator Taliaferro
will be a candidate to succeed himself
1t is safe to say that the primary is
going to De a hotly contested one. Mr..
Taliaferro is himself a natural born
fighter. He has the prestige of serv-
ices well performed. No one for a
moment supposes that he will be
caught mapping and let the prize be
wrested from him without making the
fight of his life.
Senator Stockton of Jacksonville is
also to be counted as an important
factor in the coming contest. That
he is an aggressive campaigner is a

to his candidacy. With these three
gladiators in the arena there would
certainly be an interesting triangular
battle, the brunt of which would be
between Taliaferro and Jennings.

held in this city the members gave it
their sanction. 1t provides an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose of
carrying out its provision, and any
school worthy of assistance will be a
recipient of the benefits of the law. 1t
will result in giving Florida one of the
best school system in the entire South"
