The Lyon County chautauoua.

Probably there will be no Chautau-

out of Lyon county and so much money
that might go to support a Chautau-

it's next meeting will decide to give up
an entertainment this year. This, how

HY0MEI'S SUCCESS
IN SALT LAKE
Cured Many Serious Cases of Catarrh
F. G. Schramm VIII Refund
Money If II Fails.

NO other medicine or treatment for
catarrh has ever achieved such quick
and remarkable success in Salt Lake
as Hyomei. The fact that F. c.
Schramm, when he first introduced
HyOmei sold it under a positive guar
antee TO refund the money in case it
did not cure, contributed largely to its
successful introduction. A guarantee
from firm like +. G. Schramm gave
people confidence at the start.
Those who obtained a HyOmei outfit
found that the treatment did all that
was claimed for it; that the first few
breaths of HyOmei cleared the air pas
sages and gave an eXhilarating and in
MIGRATING effect. Its continued use
freed the system from all catarrhal
germs, sOOthed and healed the mucous
membrane, and made a complete and
lasting cure.
Compared with the dangerous stom-
ach drugging that had been used here
tofOre in the treatment of catarrh, the
balsamic air of Hyomei created a most
favorable impression. And the medi-
cine itself did even more than was
claimed for it. In fact, to make a sue
cess, it was necessary that Hyomei
should cure nearly every case of ca
tarrh in which it was used, for every
outfit was sold on a guarantee to re-
fund the money in case it failed.
If it had not possessed unusual merit.
an offer like this would have resulted
in an enormous loss. But curing as it
did, Hyomei soon gained an enviable
reputation and made many friends who
recommended il far and near. Its sue
cess here in salt Lake City has been
remarkable, and F. c. Schramm is still
selling it on his personal guarantee to
refund the money in case it does not
give satisfaction.

Ends.
RAILS NEARLY ALL DELIVERED
AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT
MADE AS TO PROGRESS.
RAILS NEARLY ALL DELIVERED

In response to a request for official
Information The Herald is given these
facts as to the prospects for rapid com
pletlon Of the San Pedro railroad
through to the harbor at San Pedro.
The road is operating to Riverside in.
California and to Calientes. New, on
this end Track is laid over fifty miles
out from Daggett on the Mojave
desert and some sixty miles beyond
Calientes. From Daggett out 1875 miles
az the distance is covered by grading
contracts; and at this end of the line
81 new contract has been let for the
line between Moapa and Las Vegas,
New.
Rails are on hand. en- route and con-
tracted for sufficient TO cover the en-
tire gap between the two terminals of
the construction line. These viii all be
delivered by the latter part Of July, to-
Rether with all the ties and other track
material that may be necessary to
complete the road. Subject to the usual
delays and annoyauces which attend
extensive railroad construction, par
ticularly I'm the desert. the San Pedro
railroad will be completed as soon as
Senator Clark anticipated when he be
gan construction operations. and, IL
good fortune attends the construction
contractors, every promise as to the
date Of through operations will be full

end i'm securing as many teams and
teamsters as could be utilized by the
contractors, but a good supply has
been forwarded and more will be put
on as fast as they report for work
The weather on the desert has been
favorable for fast construction and
both grading and tTack-Iaying have
been pushed at a rapid rate When Las
Vegas is reached as a base Of opera
tions, the splendid water supply there
on Senator Clark's ranch is expected to
p(ove an important factor in expaditing
operations in the construction camps.
IL Will Obviate the delays incident to
supplies from water trains, and Las
Vegas itself viii furnish the finest kind
OF headquarters for a hot-weather
campaign.
Statements Are Official.
Local business men and investors
who have been hesitating as to the
future because they had doubts as TO
the plans for the completion of the
road may accept these statements as
official. The road is being pushed
as rapidly as men can accomplish the
work, with the best possible facilities
