disposed to go into the human
society business I'll rent my
whole farm to him for next yeal
for five dollars an acre, casl
when the grain is sold, or by
iChristmas-that S all I know, and
the old man settled back again
into half-doze, satisfied that he
had now performed the extent OF
his obligations to the heather.
Miss Keating looked at Rich,
ard and smiled. Catch papa rent
ing those fields. she said. Why,
he'd rather sell ma than that.
The young man sat silently ex-
haling long slim tunnels of smoke
from his cigar. He appeared to
be intently watching an infinite
sinai speck in the Amity Hills,
thirty miles away.
Presently he stood up, groping
with his hands about him as if
feeling for something more in his
mind than within his physical
grasp. His gaze wandered to
Helen's face.
She was watching him intently
from under half-closed lids. But
he did not see her. He was still
cropping.
Presently his glanees alighted
upon the face Of Mrs. Heating,
who was still reading with a trou-
bled look.
Let me see the paper, please,
he said.
She passed it to him and he
sat down with it, absently read
ing and not reading, over and
over again:
Famine in Russia
Women Selling at Forty Cents
in India
Long after that evening he re
membered what an indescr;bable
horror that sentence created in
his breast.
The paper had lain half an
hour at his feet.
Presently he picked it up and
mechanically handed it back to
Mrs. Keathing with thanks. He
found his hat, pulled itdown over
his face, and groped out to the
gate, across the fields into the
interminable stubble, and on into
the night.
When he returned to the house
it was long after midnight. He
lighted a lamp and wrote a letter
to a friend in Chicago. Then he
extinguished the light, but inn
nediately relighted it and burned
The letter. He then sat down.
md rewrote the letter, address
ID, stamped and sealed it, blew

upon the bed, forgetting to re-
move his clothes.

nicely treated by the committee in
charge. 1t was after they had gathered
up their drills and were returning to
their room at the hotel that any un-
pleasantness occurred. They were ac-
crested by large, horrid faced man,
presumely miner, who asked them if
they were the alliance team OF Idaho
Springs. They replied that they repre-
sented themselves, entering simply as
Mitchell and White. The man insisted
that he understood the two represented
the citizens league of this city, and
White then stated that while the league
had nothing to do with their entering
the contest, still they belonged to it and
were not union men. The man then
told the boys that they had their nerve
to enter a union contest, and after some
words he went away. In short time
he returned with some others, and White
and Mitchell were ordered out of town.
We understand that Allie Roberts and
others were also accosted. These are
given as bare facts. The citizens OF
Idaho Springs are disposed to be chari-
table in matter and cannot believe that
the committee in charge of the celebra-
tion or the businass people OF Black
Hawk had any hand in the matter. The
blame is laid to the irresponsible, rough
er element, that sometimes afflicts the
communities. Or it may be an incen-
diary brand of whiskey that has been
smuggled into the place. The incident
was particularly unfortunate, because
hitherto the two counties have ofttimes
celebrated together, have held friendly
contests for purses, drank at the same
fountain, scrapped over points, and sep

TO ALL cATARRH SUFFERERS.
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Lead
ina Qruuuists or Money Refunded

The popularity and increase in the sales
of Hyomei are unique in the annals of
medicine Such astonishing cures have
been made by this remarkable remedy
that the proprietors have authorized lead
ing druggists to sell every package of
Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that
ii will cure catarrh. If it does not the
purchaser can have his money refunded.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t is
the only method of treatment that sends
by direct inhalation to the most remote
part of the air passages, a balsamie air
that destroys all ca tarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enriches and purifies
the blood with additional ozone. and
makes permanent and complete cures of
catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 and consists of a pocket inhaler that
can be easily carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper, and bottle of
Hyomei sufficient for more than
months treatment.
Breathe through the inhaler for a few
minutes four times a day and your
catarrh is cured. That's all.
III not cured your druggist will refund
your money.

The company has made number of

The company purchased their machin-

PLANS FOR
BUILDING
School Board Held Meeting
to Consider Ihem.,
CALLFOR SPECIAL ELECTION
Will be Issued by Board Next
Monday Night.

The members of the board of education
met in informal session yesterday and
discussed plans for the new high school
building. The board had received copy
of the enabling act passed by the legis-
lature. The act has been passed by both
houses and approved by Governor Bailey
ard will be published shortly.
The board is planning TO build high
school building three stories high with
basement. On the two main floors will
be twenty rooms. The basement will
have an engine for heating and ten class
roms and Laboratories and museums. The
third floor will be one big room with
gymnasium and manual training depart
ments
The building viii cost something over
one hundred thousand dollars. When the
board asked for the passage of an enab-
ling act they did not expect the high
school building and equipment to cost the
full amount which they asked for. They
will not ask the people TO vote bonds for
Wichita has the finest school buildings
alone.
Wichita has the finest school building
in the state at the present time and every
room is crowded. A fire destroying one
building would cause great damage TO
the educational facilities of this city and
the board asked for an enabling act larger
than they ever expect to use for high
school building just for an emergency.
If a school building is destroyed the board
will call a special election to vote bonds
for the erection of another building ac-
cording to the law.
The cost of the high school buildiTts
end full equipment will be between S100 900
End $4,000 and this amount calls for a
building of beautiful architectural de-
sign, commodious and convenient and the
latest and best appliances known in the
school room.
At the board meeting yesterday com
mittee composed of Fred Cossett, ]. II.
Stewart and John Martin was appointed
10 call on each of the architects in this
city and ask them for rough sketches for
a building and estimate the cost. The
call for a special election will be issued
next Monday night and the members
want some sort of basis on which to
form the amount estimated to be neces-
sary for the building to enable them to
place in the call for which they desire

The members have decided on how large
n building they wish and IL is expected
that If the proposition carries a COMPETE
tive contest between the five architects
of this city viii be held and the best plans

The board will Tissue the call for an |
election and Mayor Mclean will imme- |
diately issue a proclamation for the |
special election to vote the bonds. II is |
necessary for the proclamation to be pub |

ton and the board expect to have the |
proposition voted on at the regular cleo |

MRS RRENE TONIGHT

One of the most interesting of the new

Crawford's latest play. '.Unorna.'' in which
Mrs. Brune. who has been termed by
leading critics the American Bernhard

Bruno won the title on account Of the
great talent she displayed when she was
starring in Sariou's Theodore. '"Unorna'
is a dramatization of Mr.. Crawford S
story, The Witch of Prague" the drama
being based on an incident in the novel.
The novelist himself made the stage YER
sion in collaboration with Espy Williams.
Mrs. Bruno has been spending part of
the summer at Mr. Crawford's summer
villa at Sorrento. Italy, discussing daily
with MIN the details of the production.
especially in relation to the mystic and
occult atmosphere of the piece. The title
is derived from the appellation of
