RErlEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments Hyom
was Used With Perfect success.


Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, the
only advice physician could give to a
hay fever patient was to go away from
home, but now any one who expects the
disease, can, if Hyomei is used. stay at
home without fear OF the annual attack
of sneezing, watery eyes, and other dis
comfort.
J. F. Forbes, a we'll known western
railroad man, whose home is at McCook,
Neb writes, II have never had relief
from any remedy for hay fever, even tenn
porarilv, until discovered the merits OF
Hyomei. will always recommend it
whenever occasion requires"
There is no offensive stomach dosing
when Hyomei is used. 1t is a reliable
remedy for the cure OF all diseases of the
respiratory organs and is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, so that the air taken
into the throat and lungs is like that of
the White Mountains or other health
resorts where hay fever is unknown.
w. B. Eastman, who has the local
agency for Hyomei, advises all who are
SupIeCl " nay ieVeI W ueSiu It's use tWo
or three weeks before the time of the
annual appearance of this disease and
thus prevent the attack. II, however,
Hyomei is not used until the sneezing
and other disagreeable symptoms have
shown themselves, it is necessary to use
the treatment more frequently, at least
half dozen times daily, and Hyomei
Balm should be rubbed into the nostrils
both morning and night.
The fact that W. B. Eastman agrees to
refund the money TO any hay fever
sufferer who uses Hyomei without sue
cess, should inspire confidence in it's
power to effect cure.

GRIEVANCES DECIDED.
Action Of Coal Miners Board of Con
r 'riliation.


A dispatch received last night from
Wilkesbarre. Pa says: The first decisions
of the Cancellation board, which relate to
some Of the GRIEVANCES in the Hazleton re-
gion, were made public today. Only three
of the nineteen grievances submitted by
President Dettry, Of that district were de-
cided. Two favpf the contention Of the
men and one is against them. AS to the
grievance Of tho driver boys employed by
Markle & Co., who complained that they
were obliged to, work during the dinner
hour without extra fpay. the Cancellation
board decided that the boys must be paid
overtime for such. work, but that the boys
must report for work at the same hours
and perform the same duties as they did
before April. 1907.
In the complaint of the miners employed
by Coke Bros & Co., that the company
had refused to accept the check weighmen
selected by the miners, the board decided
that the company shall recognize these
check Weighmen, no matter whether they
are selected from among the employees or
from another NINE the company to collect
from the miners sufficient to pay said check
Weighmen.
The complaint of the Coke Bros en-
plOyes that the company raised the price OF
coal for domestic use was decided against
the men, the board deciding that it had no
power to fix the price of coal to the en-
ployes or to act on such a grievance.
A dozen grievances of the Hazleton re-
giOn are still pending and cannot be settled
by the board, as they concern question
Of fact between the miners and the COM
pany. Testimony will be taken on these
matters at the next session OF the board
which will be held at Pottsvtlle on Thurs
day next.

OPIUM BILLS LAID UP
Philippine Commission See Through

Philippine Commission See Through
Cunning Chinese Combination.
The following dispatch has been received
from Manila:
The Philippine commission has tabled
both the opium bills. The first bill provides
for the creation Of an opium monopoly in
the archipelago and it's sale to the high
est bidder. The second is substitute. in
troduced by the commission. making the
importation of opium unlawful except by
pharmacists and permitting the sale of the
drug on physicians certificate. spe-
cial commission was appointed to visit the
oriental countries and investigate the regu-
lations regarding the sale of opium. Aft
erward all the records will be sent to
Washington.
Governor Taft has courageously cham
pioned the theory of regulation, and has
demonstrated that the monopoly bill meant
the absolute prohibition of the drug to the
100000 Filipinos and Moros. and an eff
fective regulation for the 10000 Chinese in
the archipelago, more stringent than the
English regulations. He declared that II
was generally known that the opium habit
as practiced by majority of the Chinese
was less Dernicious than whisky drinking.
and mercilessly exposed the corrupt COM
bination Of Chinese dealers who were circu-
1ating falsely signed protests and raising
money for the defeat of legitimate bill.

LEASES INVALIDATED.
Decision in Greek Indian Land Cases
Has Sweeping Effect.

Decision in Greek Indian Land Cases
Has Sweeping Effect.
From Muskogee. I. T.. the following
dispatch has been received: A decision
has been handed down by Judge c. w.
Raymond. United States judge for the west
ern district of Indian territory, which will
invalidate leases on 1900. 900 acres of Creek
Indian lands.
Judge Raymond holds that the parent of
an Indian has no right to lease the land Of
his minor children unless he has, by due
course of legal procedure. been made the
legal guardian. Cases where the parent
has been made the legal guardian of his
children are rare in the extreme. hence
thousands Of acres allotted to minors that
have been leased by their parents have
been let trregularly and the leases will not
stand.
In the Creek Nation there are 3.O72. S13
acres of land. OF this 10000 acres have
been leased to outsiders. 1t Is roughly esti
mated that only about 100000 acres have
been leased legally and that the remainder
Is now held by persons who can be removed
by minors going before the Indian agent
and demanding possession Of their amount.

SALE OF SPANISH COIN.
Will Be Disposed of to the Highest
Bidder

Secretary Root has written a letter to
the State Department relative to the sale
Of the Spanish coin. mostly copper. cap
tured at the time of the surrender of Ma
Mia by the Spaniards to the Americans
These and other coins were ordered to be
sold in order to put the new system OF
Philippine currency in operation. The
Spanish valuation placed upon the coin Is
about s25OOOO. When the sale was ordered
advertisements were published in Spain
as we'll as in the Philippines. The Spanish
government did not bid. but about the time
the bids were to be opened filed protest
against the action. This was followed by
a protest to the State Department. making
a claim for the money as portable prop
erty mentioned in the treaty Of peace. This
claim was forwarded to Secretary Root.
who replies to the State Department that
the War Department and the Philippine
government will CONSIDER the filing OF the
claim by Spain as a withdrawal Of the pro-
test against the sale under the advertise
ment, and the coins will be sold to the
highest bidder. unless the State Depart
ment sees some objection to that proceed
