THEY LIKE COBURN.
Missouri Stock Breeders Commend
His Work.

Chief r. D Coburn of the live stock
department of the worlds fair has re-
ceived a gratifying compliment in the
congratulations sent to President
Francis of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position by leading stock breeders of
Missouri for the able and thorough
manner in which Mr.. Coburn has pre-
pared the preliminary arrangements
for the live stock show. Mr.. Coburn's
work at st. Louis was highly endorsed
at a meeting of Missouri live stock
breeders at Kansas City recently, and
this approval comes mainly from expe-
rienced men who have been watching
the progress at st. Louis very closely
and who will be the first to make COM
plant if matters are not being conduct
ed on the proper basis.
Missouri stock breeders have been
allowed 100000 in special prizes by the
commission from that state. This is in
addition to the $3.50. 600 classified in the
live stock prize list of the exposition
The money will be used in Duplicating
prizes won by Missouri exhibitors, and
in paying the expense of Transporting
and exhibiting their stock at St. Louis

Mr.. HORIZONS STORY.
Interesting Recital of Early
Kansas Financial Condition.

James c. Horton, of Kansas City, Mo,
brother of the late Chief Justice AL
bert H. Horton, threw some interesting
sidelights upon the early financial COLI
d1tfOns in Kansas in his paper entitled,
Business Then and Now" at the
meeting of the State Historical society.
AL the close of evening session Mr.
Horton also related many personal
"reminiscences of prominent men of the
territorial days. Mr.. Horton is an I'M
excelled story teller and in his stories
initiated the styles and rnannerisms of
the men of whom he told. His imita-
ton of the remarkable oratory of James
II. Lane as he refuted the attacks of
his political opponents during the sena-
torial campaign of 1859 brought cheers
of approval from his hearers, many of
whom shared his recollections.
Others of whom Mr.. Horton told
stories were Arson Burlingame, Judge
Nv. H. T. Wakefield, Robert j. Walker,
and F. P. Stanton. His stories formed
the most enjoyable portion of the ey-
ening's programme and were the sub
Ject of warm congratuIations after
ward. His paper on business in terri
torial days was interspersed with SINH
lar variations. In sspea king of money
conditions he said
In 1861. when Kansas was admitted
the taxable property of the state was
about Is million. 1t is now nearly 800
million. The per cent bonds of 1861
bAOuSiI OIly 90 10 - cents on the dol
lar. The state at that time would ex-
change a hundred dollar bond for 20
dollars of state warrants, there being
no money in the treasury for redemp-
ton of the warrants. which sold for
about 80 to so cents on the dollar. This
made the price to the buyer of state
bonds 35 to ~ cents. The interest on
every Kansas bond issued by the state
was always promptly paid, and every
such bond redeemed at maturity.
Considering the fact that the debt
was limited to a million dollars and
the state was forbidden to become a
party to any work of internal improve
ment, this was a very low figure for
the bonds-but those were critical
times.
Kansas is now practically out of
debt, and could borrow at 8 per cent if
needed. on an issue of state bonds
There were no banks of issue in Kan
sas up to 1864, unless possibly the Law
renee bank, which had a territorial
Smarter and issued bills which circu-
lated and We're honored. The bills were
printed in red ink. I think this bank
was the only one incorporated by the
territory.
There were some private institutions
in Leavenworth, Atehison. Topeka and
few other of the larger towns, but
altogether there were not more than
fifteen or twenty with deposits of less
than million dollars. The national,
state and private banks now number
over six hundred and fifty with de-
posts of nearly one hundred million
dollars.
In Lawrence in 1857 Samuel N. Wood
had a bank office in one corner of a
small grocery store on Massachusetts
street. There were piles of flour and
bacon in the little building, Woods cor

December 1. 1903.

The North Topeka relief committee
is in possession of 81 900, the amount
of the latest appropriation from the
Commercial club relief fund which will
be held and expended for fuel for peo-
pie who suffered loss from the flood.
Secretary Bolmar, in speaking of the
condition of flood sufferers on the
North side. said today that no one is
now in want. The money given by the
Commercial club has been used in
making repairs upon houses that were
damaged by the flood in order that
they might be made habitable through
the winter. With very few exceptions
the people whose property was dam
aged are earning their living and are
providing ample food clothing and
fuel for their own needs. In a few
instances the city charities association
has been obliged to give regular as

the relief committees have averted the

CATARRH Cured BY DRY AIR
Hyomei Medicates The Air You Breathe
Kills The Germs And Cures The Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly
and permanently, because it reaches
the smallest air cells in the head,
throat and lungs, kills the germs
causing the disease, and drives it from
the system. Hyomei goes to the root
of the disease, destroys the cause, and
makes permanent cures which can be
effected in no other way. Breathe it
for few minutes four times a day,
and benefit will be seen at once. Con-
tinue this treatment for few weeks,
and Hyomei will have cured you.
The Hyomei in the inhaler furnish
ed with the outfit dries and sterilizes
the air you breathe. 1t is a local and
direct treatment for eradicating all
catarrh germs in the mucous MEM
brane and tissues, and in this way
cures catarrh in any part of the sys-
tenn. Used in connection with HyomeI
Balm it has been successful in curing
the worst and most deep-seated cases
of catarrhal deafness.
A. w. Clark, of Everett, Mass,
writes: IL have spent a fortune on
different treatments for catarrh, and
could not hear across the table. After
using Hyomei and Hyomei Balm for
eight days can hear as well as ever"
Stronger than any claims that can
be made in an advertisement is the
fact that Feldmeyer Brothers Will

cry Hyomei outfit they sell to refund
the money if the purchaser can say
