USE HYOMEI
AT OUR RISK"
Voegeli Bros. VIII Pay for Hyomei
Treatment If 1t Fails to
Cure Catarrh.

The fact that Hyomei is so con-
venient and complete and that it cures
by merely breathing and not by drug
ging the stomach, no doubt has had
considerable influence in creating
confidence In the treatment. When
Hyomei is used, every particle Of air
that. enters the head and throat and
goes to the lungs, is charged with
healing balsams that kill the germs Of
catarrh and soothe and heal the irri-
tated mucous membrane.
VoegeH Bros. Drug Co., corner Hen
nepin and Washington avenues, and
corner 7th street and Nicollet ave-
nue.. urge all who are subject to ca
tarrh or catarrhal colds to get a Hy-
omei outfit from them and use 1t al
their risk. No matter how skeptical
you may be, you cannot dispute the
fairness of this offer. Use Hyome

EXCURSIONS TO
HISTORIC PLACES
NATIVE SONS OF MINNESOTA
PLAN INTERESTING TRIP.
First Excursion Will Be by Steam
boat to Mendoza and Shakopee june
Other Trips Will Be to Fort
Ridgely, Lake Pepin and the Early
st. CroK Settlements.

Preparations are being made for
the first annual historical excursion
Of the Native Sons of Minnesota. It
will be held Saturday, June 4. and is
in the hands of DR.. w. E. Leonard,
DR.. Peter M. Holl, Edward G.. Gale
and other leading members Of the
association. The plan for the out
ing includes a steamboat ride on the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, with
visits to Mendoza and Shakopee,
which places are so intimately con-
nected with the early history Of the
state.
The association has planned sew
eral excursions to the historical places
in the state, and the first one will
be somewhat of an experiment. Trips
to Fort, Ridgely, the sites Of the early
Mississippi, and particularly on Lake
Pepin, and to the pioneer settlements
on st. Croix river, are some Of those
that have been planned.
Captain John Taper, the jolly fer.
ryman who preceded the old suspen.
sion bridge in conveying people across
the river where the steel arch bridge
now is. will accompany the party. I
was also intended to invite the
venerable Father Robert, who ha6
charge of the parish at Mendoza fol
about fifty years, but, unfortunately
this interesting old pioneer is now OF
visit to France.
The general public is invited to par
ticipate in this excursion, as one O
the chief purposes of the association
is to instruct the later corners to thu
state in it's early history and to pre-
serve the historical places. Severa
speakers familiar with matters o
general interest will accompany tn
| excursion and give short talks as op
portunity presents itself.
The start will be made from Wash
ington and Hennepin avenues at !
| p m. Special trolley cars will b
taken to Minnehaha. At the Sol
| be boarded. The boat engaged
fine new vessel, which was launche
this spring, and is one Of the, bes
on the river. It will have ample &C
commodations for over 400 people.

SALOON CASES DELAYED

Excelsior Men Again Secure contInu.
i"s ance of Trials.
The cases against Fred Hawkins and
John Ermantrautt, the Excelsior saloon
keepers who were to be tried Saturday,
were again continued. The continuance
this time was on account of the change
of venue from Justice Dickinson's court
to Justice Williams, asked by the de-
Tense. The prosecution believes that
every effort will be made by the defen-
dants to continue the cases as long as
they can find possible excuse, and, If
possible, have them go over the summer
season. %
Notice has been served on Rev. Donald
Mckenzie and his following that even
if conviction is secured the cases will
be appealed to the supreme court, so that
no Judgment can be secured for many
months, and the reform movement has
entirely subsidized. The defense expects
to fight the question to the limit, and
asserts that if any general crusade is
made upon them it will mean the destruc-
tion of the business interests Of Excel
sior. Should any move be taken by the
Performers against the pavilion it is an
nounced that the steamboat captains will
cut Excelsior from their routes and make
Tonka Bay their headquarters.

HE WAS FORGED
| TO HIT The PIPE
NOW ALFRED PETERSON rs AT
DEATHS DOOR,
Fellow Employees In Gambling
House Made Him Smoke Opioum,
Which Set Up an Inflammation and
a Serious Case Of Pneumonia Has
fod !. .
Resulted.

Alfred Peterson, 81 years old, lies at
the city hospital suffering from a
violent attack of pneumonia brought
on by his first use of an opium pipe.
He says he was forced to smoke it by
his fellow employees in a South Min
neapolis gambling-house. The mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of the police and an investigation will
be made.
Peterson, who is unacquainted with
the ways of the under world, obtained
position three weeks ago as porter
in a gambling resort on Washington
avenue S., near his own home. Many
times since he has been working there
and other employees have tried to get
him to shit the pipe" but fear of the
drugs effect made him leave it alone.
Last Friday night. while he and the
other helpers were in a side room, an
other attempt was made to get him
to indulge. Finally after much coax
ine, bluffing and being called a cow
ard, he yielded and took generous
smoke.
He says he was in a dazed condition
for several hours and remembers lit
tie of what happened but when he
went home he noticed that his lungs
were sore and he had a peculiar dizzy
sensation. He was taken to the city
hospital the next day suffering with
high fever.
The physicians in charge Of the case
say that excessive use Of the drug by
a person not accustomed to it might
bring on pneumonia. On the other
hand, If the disease was in its first
stages the smoke would undoubtedly
hasten it's course, and to such degree
that it might prove fatal. Peterson
is in serious condition and it will be
several days before he is out Of dan
ger.
The young man has given to the po
lice the name of the proprietor of the
place and the man who handed hin
| the room at the time is also known
and is said to be willing to tell all HI
| knows.

DISGRACE OF DIVORCE
Growing Evil Denounced by Rev. J.
Montnonaerx at -MesIex

Growing EVIL Denounced by Rev. J. S.
Montgomery at Wesley.
DR.. James S. Montgomery preached last
evening at Wesley Methodist church on
Houses and Homes He gave a strong
denunciation of the prevalent divorce evil.
Among other things he said:
Divorce Is our social hemorrhage.
Why? Because the motive Of divorce is
usually couched in a desire to marry an
other. This is social anarchy. The quick
and easy marriage of such is simply the
incarnation of vulgarity. The Christian
church must lift her protest against these
people who go on a trot thru the divorce
courts. Divorce is the blot on American
social life, because it strikes at the virtue
of woman and the nobility Of man. Mar
riage is something more than contract;
it is a state. When it becomes CONNER
cialized it is not removed from the polyg
amy of the pagan nations. With all. our
proud and boosted civilization, yet this
social curse has it's most prolific life in
our soil. May the church of the good
Lord cry aloud and spare not

WEAK LUNGS LEAD
TO CONSUMPTION
The Susceptibility or Predisposition Is
Marked in Many Cases.
DR.. Il. j. Cooke, Physical Director
University of Minnesota, Increases
the Lung Power and Expands the
Chest by NaturalsMethod.

. . r., -. p /. s-<t
A distinct advance has been made
of late years in the treatment Of weak
lungs.
Happily, methods of treatment that
promise great hope are coming to be
understood, and when applied by q,
specialist, with the intelligent Coop
GRAFTON of the patient, wonderful re-
suits are obtained, where there Is a
predisposition to consumption.
In speaking of weak lungs and his
advanced treatment, DR.. l.. J. Cook
said:
"a careful examination of the lungs
is first made of all patients coming
under my professional care; then the
chest is thoroughly examined and
measurements taken; and a searching
examination is made Of the whole sys-
tenn, testing every organ. Then am
perfectly familiar with the subject
and know the requirements Of both
active and passive exercise, to In
crease the lung power and expand the
chest, while Strengthening all of the
other organs, toning and building up
the whole system, entirely removing
the predisposition to consumption or
the susceptibility Of the lungs to a
deep cold, even."
DR.. Cookies success in the treat
ment of these cases has certainly been
phenomenal. There are a number of
Minneapolis people who have taken
his therapeutic physical culture treat
| ment. at his institute, GIL Kasota
building, this city, with the most graf
flying results to themselves and their
friends.

of prospective patrons which extended
