.,,ohn chinaman and MIR. Jap"

The subject of the lecture given by
Joel A. Smith at the Baken x Davis
hall Monday evening was "A success and
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The hall
was filled, no seats went begging. At
$50 the keystone Orchestra played
one of their beautiful selections after
which Rev. O. r. Thomas introduced
the speaker, who held the strictest at
tention of the audience from beginning
to end, notwithstanding the fact that
the hall was little too chilly to be
comfortable. For an hour and half
the people were entertained. deligh ted
and instructed. The bursts of laughter
Indicated very plainly that the enter
tainment was no dry affair. The
speakers account of John Chinaman
and Mr.. Jap interspersed with short
humorous stories was replete in
instruction, amusing and laughable in
relating some of his experiences in the
Orient. The speaker has had wide
experience as a lecturer and seems to
interest his audience. His lecture was
thoroughly enjoyed by the people of
keystone who attended, and hope Mr..
Smith may come again.-keystone

Engineer lsrunoage Killed.

Many Hot Springs people will very
we'll remember Charley Brundage,
who for several years was Burlington
engineer into Hot Springs. and all will
regret to learn of his death The fol-
lowing from a Lincoln paper briefly
explains his death:
Engineer Charles +. Brundage who
was injured in the collision Wednesday
evening in Burnham yards, died at the
sanitarium about midnight last night
from his injuries. His death was the
second resulting from the accident, the
first having been Conductor Baton
who died upon being brought to this
city. Thus are removed the two men
who seem to have been responsible for
the collision by inattention to orders
received at Crete notifying that the
freight train was coming into Lincoln
ahead of time"

Shot Through the Knee.

Frank Crane, the 13 year old son of
T. w. Crane, on Monday night met
with an accident which will confne
him to the house for some time. The
accident was the outcome of the same
old story, boys playing with loaded
weapons. Mr.. and Mrs. Crane we're
absent at the time of the occurrence,
having been in Hot Springs. The
young lad was examining six-shooter
and had closely inquired into the de-
tails when the weapon was accidental
ly discharged. The ball passed through
the boys knee, inficting flesh wound.
DIR. Bowman was summoned and
dressed the injured member, and has

The last funeral here was March II,
which proves that good state of
health exists.
Charley Lake is in the Hospital in q
precarious condition from slight
stroke of paralysis. Charley is one of
the old timers in the Home.
The Home orchard is beauty, each
tree looking like bank of blossoms.
A careful examination shows the fruit
all right to date. The cold weather did
not effect the crop.
Work on the cottages, boiler house

Mrs. A. B. Nelson, of Pierre, state
treasurer of the w. r. c., spent Satur-
day and Sunday as guest of the
Soldiers Home. She left for her home
on the special on Sunday evening.
John Savage left for his home at
Mitchell on Tuesday nights train.
His wife is quite sick and he goes home
to assist in taking care of her. John
is himself beginning to feel the weight
of years and infirmities.
A report is about, that Jack Wilson
was married in Deadwood while ago.
AS yet the story has not been con-
firmed. It is known that Jack told the
officers when he left that he did not
expect to come back.
A flood of visitors we're at the Hcme
last week, great pains we're taken to
show them all over the house, grounds
and hospital. Every courtesy was ex-
tended to the crowds. The manage
ment seemed to be anxious that our
eastern friends and taxpayers should
know all there is to be learned in a
hasty visit.
The report that is widely circulated
that Capt. G. s. Munger died at his
home soon after reaching there from
here, is certainly an untrue one. A
large number of the members here
we're shocked at the report as we'll as
grieved. But now the information has
been received that disproves the story
all feel better and congratulate Capt.
Munger that he is still counted among
the living.
Mrs. Col. Farr, of Pierre, Depart

| In the afternoon the base ball game
attracted large crowd and the town
boys and travelling men put up game
that was enjoyed.
The travelling mems team was uni
formed with striped shirt and a pair
of overalls and presented husky ap-
pearance. They had a good battery
with Ira Marks pitcher and Mr.. Sand
berg as catcher. Both teams, however,
lacked practice, but with favorable

it and CT course won the game, the
score being 6 to 10 in their favor
There was good sized crowd witness.
ed the game and they seemed to enjoy
it very much.
The horse races which followed the
ball game we're easily won by the
Pierce horse, from west of Edgemont.
The winner was beautiful sorrel and
was no novice on race course. There
was a "horse" race and a "pony" race
but the sorrel was permitted to enter
both and of course won them both. In
the pony race Hank Robinson's colt
bolted the track and ran over Mrs. d.
V. France, knocking her down with
great force. She was rendered un-
conscious and remained in that con-
dition until Monday. No bones we're
broken, but the shock to her nervous
Isystem was almost critical She is
slowly improving, and will probably
soon be we'll.
:. The foot race was won by fellow
who gave his name as ''Hat Creek Kid
but he probably never saw Hat
creek. He was pretty much of pro-
fessional runner, even though he wore
ranchers clothes until he stripped for
the race, when he had foot racers
rig on. Geo Hummel had entered
for the race but of course didn't know
he had professional to run against
George is a pretty fleet amateur, but
not swift enough for such as the "Hat

Mr.. Stanley Will you be kind
enough to republish the following from
the Record Herald of Chicago, issue of
May 18th. In view of the recent stand
of the ministers here and some others
for statute law and better things it
has great significance. 1t appeared in
the Record Herald on the editorial
page. Will you please give it a promi-
nent place in your paper?
Respectfully,
G. HOWARD CRUDE.
superintendent George r. Aver of
the Kansas division of the Santa Fe
has discharged six men employed in
the train service of the company on
the charge of frequenting saloons.
Some of the discharged men we're con-
ductors and some engineers. It was
not charged that any of the men were
ever intoxicated or under the influence
of liquor, but the superintendent felt
that they were taking too many chances
and that they we're likely to turn up at
any time unfit for duty. All the dis.
charged men were aware that the
company's printed book of rules has
for years contained clause to the
effect that the frequenting of saloons
and use of Intoxicating liquors would
be deemed cause for dismissal. The
surprise therefore is alone in the rigid
enforcement of the rule regarding
which railroad arrangements are prone
to be somewhat lax.
'In this era of phenomenal speed of
railroad trains and of enormous volume
of traffic there cannot be, however, q
too rigid enforcement of the rule
which nearly all important systems
have against the use of Intoxicating
liquor. Even the semblance of evil in
this respect should be avoided, and
Superintendent Ayers act should
receive hearty public commendation. .

MANY CURES IN THIS CITY
t. II. Thomas Reports Good Work Done by
Hyomei In Curling Catarrh


1t is seldom a remedy has made
so many cures in so short time, as
Hyomei has in curing cases of cat
arrh in Rock Island.
L. II. Thomas has so much faith in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh
that at the very start he sold the rem
edy under his personal guarantee to
refund the money in case it did not
give satisfaction. AS yet he has had
but two cue toners who asked him to
refund the price while scores have
told of the remarkable cures accom-
plshed by this medicine.
Hyomei cures catarrh. by new
principle, by breathing balsamic air,
not by pills, drugs or nauseating IL
guilds. 1t is the only positive cure
ever discovered for this disease, and
it is also the pleasantest method of
treatment.
The outfit consists of an inhaler. a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hy-
omei; the total cost being S1.OO. The
inhaler will last Il lifetime, while for
treatment of catarrh bottle of Hy-
omei is sufficient for more than a
months use. Simply drop a little of
the Hyomei into the inhaler then
breathe it for few minutes four or
five times day. The air filed with
the balsamic healing of Hyomei en-
tiers the air passages and lungs, kill
ing the disease germs, soothing the
irritated membranes and effecting a
permanent cure.
If a cure is not gained ask T. II.
Thomas to return your money and
he will do it without question.
No fairer way of selling medicine
was ever adopted by any one. You
ought to begin the use of Hyomei
today on this plan.

We're no Objectionable traits to bear
with, or. rather, that they had lost
their virulence. His wife often APP
peared to him more unreasonable than
ever, but the defect was atoned for by
expressions of affection for him which,
unlike his own, were sincere. The pain
he had suffered from an uncongenial
mate was changed for one of anxiety,
softened by mutual affection, mutual
interest in an expected pleasure. And
now that this delightful sympathy was
restored he began to dread lest he
should lose her. This redoubled his
attentions. his sympathy. his demon
STATIONS of love, and these quadrupled
the return.
One day after hours of physical ag-
ony to the wife and mental agony to
the husband in twinkling the sun
shone through raindrops, smiles broke
through tears. There were not only
two lovers, but three. King Baby set
up his throne in the household and
ruled, an autocrat. 1t was what will
your majesty please to wear? And
what will your majesty please to eat?
And when will your majesty please to
sleep? And, most of all, when will
your majesty permit others to sleep?
Then the husband made a second dis
covery. The first was that marital af-
lection could only be gained by his
sacrifice to the wife; the second was
that the sacrifice of both to the child
was imperative This submission of
the stronger to the weaker, universal
law of love, would not, even with these
two primary lessons, have found lodg-
ment in the husbands brain had not
the experience continued in u constant
development AS his first submission
had brought a return so did the second.
When the child began to know him, to
stretch forth hands to him. to speak to
him in fragments of words, to express
love for him, then. and not till then,
was he convinced that the first requi-
site of love is love.
