STRONGEST EVIDENCE or FAITH.
Geo. w. StansfieId Guarantee That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case
of Catarrh in Topeka.

When one of the most reputable con-
Germs in Topeka guarantees that a
medicine will effect a cure or he viii
refund the money. it speaks volumes as
to the merits of that remedy. It is in
this way that Geo. W. Stansfeld is
selling Hyomei. the treatment that has
made so many remarkable cures of
both acute and chronic catarrh in To-
peka and vicinity
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it liquid
that has TO be taken with tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe il by the aid
of an inhaler that comes in every out
fit and benaSt will be seen from the
srst treatment
It destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional ozone
II cures catarrh of the head and throat.
or Of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
Whenever mucous mem Drane contains
catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do
its work OF healing When using this
trsa trnent- the air you breathe viii be
above the sea level. where grow bal
samic trees and plants which make the
air pure by giving OF volatile antisep-
tic fra GRANGE that is healing TO the res
piratory organs
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
100 and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment
Remember that If Hyomei does not
cure YOU Geo W Stansheld viii re-
fund your money. This is a good time
to cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
SO common at this season.

MISS PETERSON NOT FIRST.
Miss Mamie Wallace Employed as
Messenger Before Her.

Miss Edith Peterson. the young lady
who was employed yesterday in the
Santa Fe telegraph department, is not
to have the honor of being the first
girl messenger in topeka
Word was received today from the
telegraph Office at the Union Pacific
depot in North Topeka that Miss Mamie
Wallace, age IS. was employed last
Monday as a messenger in that Office
on account OF the manager being IN
able to secure BOYS for the work Of de-
livering messages. This gives Miss
Wallace the rights OF seniority. as she
started 70 work Just two days before
Miss Peterson did
Another new feature of Miss Wal
lace's work is that she delivers mes
sages TO any part Of the city, the same
as the bows at the Offices OF the COM
mercial telegraph companies. while
Miss Peterson only works inside of the
general Offices Of the Santa Re.

We are sure that the Natchez Bal
letin doesn't intend the advice given
below in its literal meaning. The
state has alreay suffered enough from
the reputation that this back tax bus
mess has given her. 1t has crippled
her industries, many of them, and
kept back many who would have be-
come citizens. Here i what the Bull
letin says: ''We are glad that the
state treasury is again pretty nearly
depleted, which would seem to indi-
cate that it is about time for Writ

another back tax raid on some of th e
