w. H. Fargo of Chicago, president
of the Fargo Shoe Co., who will move
here, was in the city over Sunday.
He came Saturday for the purpose of
meeting the trustees appointed by
Mayor Wilson to handle the $4,000
voted for the factory. The articles
of agreement and provisions of the
contract to be entered into was dis
cussed, and city attorney Sheldon In
structed to draw the necessary papers
for execution.
Mr.. Fargo was well pleased with the
city and situation of affairs here and
intends as soon as possible to move his
business here. He stated to our re-
porter that he should employ the
most of his help from this city and vi
cinity, but would be obliged to bring
along a number of skilled labOrers,
who would need dwelling houses and
boarding places, and thought from his
observations that tenant houses were
quite scarce article here at present.
There is certainly a crying need of
more houses, but the large number
now in process of completion, and in
contemplation will relieve the situa-
tion somewhat.

Kills Germs OF Catarrh
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis

Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
OF pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tones. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
In the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs In the air passages, 1t en-
tiers the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes In the blood and
effectually drives from the system all
traces OF catarrhal poision.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers OF by.
omei to cure catarrh Is the fact that
Wortley g. French will agree to refund
the money II you say Hyomei has not
cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
bnt ST. 90 and consists oil an inhaler
that can be carried In the vest pocket.

Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life time,
and IL one bottle does not cure, an ex
ira bottle OF Hyomei can be obtained

1t was nice, clean game, free

Monroe -SheIbina Game
Saturday Game of Football Good One.
Neither Side Scored.

The first football game Of the
season in Monroe was played
last Saturday on the gridiron
in J S Scott's pasture between
Shelbira High School and Mon
roe City High School teams.
The Monroe team was organ
lied four weeks ago and most
of the team had never seen the
gridiron.
Shelbina's team outweighe d
the Monroe team on an average
of about Is pound DIS per man and
while Shelbina's defense was
strong they were weak on the
offense. Monroe on the other
hand played better and faster
offensive game than defensive.
Shelbina's gains were mostly
on line bucks. but were few in
number. Their attempted end
runs failed signally.
Monroe made several bad
fumbles, but with two excep-
tions made quick recovery of
the ball.
Both sides lost the ball on
downs. Shelbina twice and
Monroe three times.
Monroe won the toss up and
chose the north goal. Shelbina
kicked to the 40.yd line, Bell
advanced the ball 5 yards. Mon
roe made 4 successful line buck S
but lost the ball in the cente r
of the field by a tumble. Shell
bina made their best gains at
this point in the first half by
advancing the ball in two plays
to the lloyd line losing it there
on dow1s. Monroe secured the
ball and slowly marched down
the field until the 5-yd line was
crossed, and when they seemed
certain to score, time was call .
ed.
The second half was called
3:42, Shelbiua receiving the
kick, Teachnor advancing the
ball about 10 yards. Monroe
took the ball on downs, then
came the good playing of the
day, both teams working hard
for a score.
Monroe slowly advanced to
the lloyd line there losing the
ball on downs. Monroe braced
up and forced Shelbina to punt.
Monroe secured the ball on the
Boyd line and the next ten min
utes was a repetition of the "a
bove play. When time was call
ed aud the half closed at 4:06
