A Wonderful Invention.

It is interesting to note that mis-
takes are frequently made by the in
vention of articles of minor Importance.
Many of the more popular devices are

meet popular conditions, and of the
most interesting of these that has ever
been invented is the DR.. White Electric
Comb, patented Jan. /, 80. These
wonderful Combs positively cure dan

A writer asks how the Dowie
followers in Zion earn a living, as
he notices that Dowie has been
paying the bills-or having things
charged-for the benefit Of the
whole community. We are not
posted on the inside workings of
this sublime graft, but as near as
we can find out, Dowie first selects
his victims among people who are
easily parted from their money.
He then takes the money, puts the
people to work in his various en-
terprises, pays them wages out 1T
their own money, then takes IT, :
wages away from them and fu
nishes them with sort of living
regular endless chain of holy loot,
with outside creditors left holding
the bag. 1t must have been near
relative of Dowie who bribed his
children with a nickel apiece to go
to bed without their supper and
then taking advantage of their
ravenous appetites the next morn
ing, sold them breakfasts for five
cents apiece.

The performance was begun pune

seven, was followed by a recess for
dinner, the performance was resumed
at $40 and concluded at about 11:3O.

the total darkening of the house, pre-

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Cata1rh by Natures Own
Method Every Breath of Hyomei
Brings Relief.

Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by dragging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but
a. cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician
would have said the only way to
cure catarrh would be to have a
change Of climate; but now with
Hyomei you can carry a health CIV
ing climate in your vest pocket and
by breathing it few minutes four
times day soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81. 90 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest
pocket, medicine dropper and
bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts
a lifetime, and if one bottle does not
cure, an extra bottle Of Hyomei can
be obtained for SO cents. It is the
most economical of all remedies
advertised for the cure of catarrh,
and is the only one that follows
nature in her method Of treating
diseases Of the respiratory organs.
!. T. Bennett has sold great
many Hyomei outfits and the more
he sells the more convinced he is
that he is perfectly safe in guarant-
ing to refund the money if Hyomei
does not cure.

lived at Marshall and Henry o. Lee
boarded at the same place. By hard
work, Lee had amassed some 500. A.
few days ago, he came home to find
the money gone from his wallet, and
in it's place an ingenious note that
read as follows:
Dear Hank: Don't say anything
about this for the old lady's and the
kids sake. I'll pay you back in six
months. You can have my spurs if
you like So long" Grooming is a
lineman, and the spurs referred to are
his stock in trade, worth, perhaps,
$1.50. Lee didn't regard them as the
very best of security and didn't think
much of the note of hand Morris left,
SO he swore out a warrant for his ar
rest. Grooming was in Van Vert, O..

pup from a friend in Iowa who

has the peculiarly long ose of his

chickens as the rest. This breed
of dogs have been used as sheep
and cattle dogs for ages and dis

D. R. castiday Dead.

Rawlins, Wyo., Oct. ia
dispatch received here today from
the United States consul at the
City of Mexico states that D. r.
Castiday, a prominent sheepman
of this city and fdther-in-law of
Hon. John G. Davis, met his death
in the City of Mexico today by
being run over. No further par
ticulars of the accident have been
RECEIVED as yet.
ID. R. Castiday was one of the
pioneers of Carbon county, locat-
ing a ranch in the Medicine Bow
mountains III the early seventies.
He was a Canadian by birth and
in his early days had been a lum-
herman. About fifteen years ago
he moved to Rawlins and engaged
in the sheep business and made
considerable money in this pur-
suit and at the time of his death
was reputed to be quite wealthy.
In his youth and earlier man
mood he was a man of splendid
physique, but of late years he
suffered acutely from rheumetism.
In seeking a remedy for this all
ment, he has been away from
Rawlins, more or less, for the past
five years, spending most Of the
time in California.

The Bay Horse is closed down

The Kearns' Consolidated, an

Foster Kearns of this place is in

of a lack of funds. Extensive de-

property and a complete plant
consisting of a 60 h.. p. boiler, 6xS

piece of rock when it exploded
and struck him in the head, des-

up and he was taken to the rail
road and on to Denver Tuesday.

one who knows him. The rock
contained an old unexploded shot
which his hammer set off.
