there are three companies of United
States troops from Fort Niobrara, who
assist in preserving order.
Ground Rents Enormous.
Ground rents are something awful
in this town. James Coyle owns a
small lot on Main street. Three weeks
ago he valued the lot at $1,000. Six
months ago it was worth probably
500. To-day Coyle asks 5000 for the
ground rent for the next sixty days,
any building erected to remain on the
lot when it is returned to him. And
he will get his price, too.
A five-room residence is rented for
the next two months at $50 month.
A small space, 5x12 feet, between two
stories, is rented for $40 per month.
Dave Forbes rented a corner lot for
$500 and erected $3.50 building there
on. He is now offered $40 for his
bargain.
According to several professional To-
caters Oklahoma will probably furnish

State in the Union. Michigan and Wis

Minnesota and Nebraska will send
large quotas, and numerous inquiries
have been received from Kansas. In
fact, those states which were settled
by homesteaders originally, are send

settle the Rosebud country. They know
what the free homes did for the older

injuries as result of innumerable acci-

day. In several Of the appalling fatali-
ties that are recorded speeding automo-
biles containing pleasure seekers were

Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.
breathe Hyomei for few minutes four
times day through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit. and benefit
will be seen at once. Continue this treat
ment for short time, and your catarrh will
have been cured by Hy0mei.
There is no roundabout way in Hyomei's
medicinal action; it does not try to cure a
disease of the head by putting medicine in
the stomach. 1t fills the air you breathe
with balsamic healing that soothes the
irritated and smartlng membrane, destroys
the germs of catarrh that are present in
the head and throat, and is the only treat
ment that can be relied upon to cure.
When using Hy0mei the air you breathe
will be like that on the mountains high
above the sea level, filled with volatile,
antiseptic fragrance that heals and cures
passages.
This treatment has been so successful,
curing 80 per cent. of all who have used it,
that HyOmei is now sold by r. H. Moody
under an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not benefit. You run no
risk whatever in buying HyOmei. II it did
not possess unusual powers to cure, it could
not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.OO
and comprises hard rubber inhaler, a
bottle of HyOmei and drOpper. The in
haler will last a lifetime; and additional
bottles of HyOmei can be obtained for SOC.

The Chadwick mystery is mystery
no longer: at least so far as the woman
herself is concerned. She simply bun
coed various banks and individuals out
of Sl,190O0O, and her only asset is a
note for $500, and that will go to one
creditor. Her so-called Carnegie securi-
ties on which she borrowed large sums
prove to be of no value; and it is the
opinion of some of the leading attor-
neys of Cleveland that a charge of forg-
cry cannot be made to hold in connec-
ton with these notes. They declare
that it is not an act Of forgery for one
person to write the name of another,
but that the offence lies in the attempt
to negotiate such a signature for spe-
cifc value. This, they say, there is, so
far 40 evidence that Mrs. Chadwick
has done. The only mystery now is
that the president of bank and pri-
vate individuals old enough to have cut
their wisdom teeth should have been so
easily fooled by a confidence woman.
Later developments indicate that, after
all, Mrs Chadwick will have to stand
trial for forgery
