Another Term to Be Held in
May
FOR UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Judge and Jurors Leave for
Their Homes.

With the exception of few unimport-
ant cases the docket of the United States
circuit and district courts of the Second
division of Kansas was cleared up yes
terday. and Judge Pollock left last night
for Topeka, where the next term of court
viii be held in April. Judge Pollock will
return to Wichita the latter part of May
or the first part of June. at which time
such unfinished business will be taken up.
The court room yesterday was deserted.
the petit jurors having been dismissed
and the legal profession being but
slightly represented. The grand jury had
made its report in the middle of the week
and was excused at that time.
Altogether the March term was one of
much interest in court circles, several
important matters having been disposed
of. The st. Clair case, which has been in
the nature of an eyesore To the district
attorneys force for some time, is finally
disposed of for good, and the other GRIM
inal actions were all settled one way or
the other.
The grand jury returned sixteen indict-
ments, nearly all important in some way.
Those to which a plea of guilty was made
have been disposed of and the next term
held in Wichita in September will be OF
considerable interest in a criminal way.
The usual routine business will now be
taken up in the clerks Office and nothing
very exciting will be heard OF from the
third floor of the government building
until the next term

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is in
Preseruinu Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stomach
and intestlnes and carries them out of
he system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.

OLD AND new WAY.
fiyornei the Latest Scientific Discovery
For the Cure of Casarrh.


The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the i'm
provment was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a
balsamic air that goes into the minut-
est cells, effectually killing all germs
and microbes of catarrh. 1t enters
the blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health to the whole system. Many
astonishing testimonials have been
received from those who have been
cured by Fyomei.
A complete outfit costs but S1.OO,
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhnps the stronges evidence that
can be give given to doubters, is the
fact that Hooper Drug Co. have so
much faith in Hyomei that they sell
every package under a positive guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use
of Hyomei.
The announcement of Guy F. Lee,
of Great Bend, as a candidate for. the
Office of probate judge, subject to
the Democrat and Populist convention,
appears in this paper. Mr.. Lee has
an extended acquaintance through
out Barton county, and is a young
man whose ability to properly fill the
office is unquestioned. He is a man
of exceptionally good literary and ed
ucational ability, and has many friends
who would be glad to see him secure
the office.

at the instigatien the board of county
commissioners.
Just what Newman Will find is I'M
certain but the commissioners wish TO
have through investigation of the
conditions in order that they may

is and has been done. In otfler coun-
ties in the state this work has result
ed in the addition of msag thousands
of dollars to the tax rolls.
The reports of the assessors in
Shawnee county seems to show that
much property escapes Aaxation.
The returns shosv the value of mort

The value of taxable notes is return

A Macedonian Amazon.

Katarina Arnautova, a Macedonian
woman, has participated in great deal
of fighting during the insurrection
against Turkey. A correspondent de-
scribes her as about 26 years of age, of
middle height, well set up and strong
looking, with blue eyes and brown hair
which she wears long, but done up I'M
der her black fur cap. She wore also
a gray tunic of military cut and metal
buttons, a leather belt. gray trousers, and
leggings of dull, violet-colored wool.
A whistle for giving signals was attached
to her watch chain, and in her pocket
she had some poison wrapped up in pa
per, in case she should fall into the
hands of the Turks. She said she had
been in six important engagements and
others of less importance, was a good
shot, and knew of five Turks that had
fallen before her rife.
