BRUSH LIBRARY DONATION
Dakota University the Recipient Of a
Fine Library From the Rev
Frank Brush.

The Dakota University has just
met with another piece Of good for
tune. The Rev. Frank E. Brush, d.
d., son Of one Of the earlier presl-
dents of the Dakota University pre-
scnted to it his entire library as a
free gift. The only condition was
the payment OF the freight on the
books from his home in Iowa TO this
city. DIR. Brush has been one of the
ablest ministers i'm the Methodist
church. filling Important pulpits
in Dubuque, Iowa City and Ottum-
wa, and for a number of years he was
pastor of the Methodist church at
the seat Of the state University of
Iowa. Some years ago he failed in
health and after repeated trips to
milder climates he has finally been
compelled to give up the ministerial
work and go to California. He has
donated this library to the Univer-
sity in memory Of his father, Rev.
VIM. Brush, ID. ID. 1t contains
about nine hundred volumes OF the
choices and most recent books. In
the lists are found The T1anslations
b. Max Muller, the celebrated orien-
tai scholar, all Of 1.-The Sacred Books
of the East, the American Edition
of Britannica, The Ante Nicene
Fathers, two of the best Biblica! en-
cyclopedias, making a total Of Six
teen volumes, many recent works OF
philosophy, sociology and political
science; two or three of the best
Commentaries of the bible and sew
eral very valuable sets Of historical
books, including Gibbons Decline
and Fall Of the Roman Empire, Mer-
ival's and Mommsen's Histories.
Theis gives only a scant idea of the
wealth OF this literary treasure. The
faculty Of Dakota University, on
Tuesday, adopted resolutions Of
thanks and requested the executive
committee to make provision for
keeping these books together in a
section OF the library, to oe known
as the VIM. Brush Memorial Above.
The proper label has been printed
and will be placed in each Of the
books. Not long since President
Nicholson issued a call for donations
for the library. setting forth its
needs and indicating that at least
$40, 1000 to $4,000 worth OF books
were needed in the immediate fu-
ture. This splendid collection pro-
vidcs nearly one-third Of this re-
quirement in a single gift. Already
special shelving has been put in the
library room and the librarian, Prof.
L. f. Graham, with his assistant,
Mr.. Gust, are working hard to get
these books eataiogued 1t is ex-
pected that they will be ready for
use by the students some time next
week. The authorities of the Uni
versity are naturally jubilant over
this good fortune ana hope this
kindly remembrance by DR.. Brush
NAV exert others to like good work.

PROTECTS SYSTEM AGAINST
CATARRH
Hyomei Prevents Colds and Cure
Grip and Catarrh-Money
Back if 1T Fails.

AN ounce Of prevention is worth
a pound OF cure A few bredths of
Hyomei through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit
will check a cold or the grip at the
Start, and prevent serious and lasting
illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and dis
eases Of the air passages Hyomei has
a positive action not possessed by any
other medicine or treatment. 1t is
pleasant and convenient to use; SIM
ply put 20 drops of Hyomei in the in
haler and breathe it a few minutes,
four times a day. In this way, every
particle Of air that enters the lungs
is charged with a healing balsam
that kills all catarrhal germs, soothes
and allays the irritated mucous mem
hrane, vitaliZes the blood with ozone,
and makes a permanent and complete
cure.
A Hyomei outfit costs only 81, and
contains an inhaler, medicine dropper
and bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler
lasts a lifetime and when more NY
omei is needed, extra bottles can be
obtained for SOC.
Scallln Bros. give their personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
they sell to refund the money if it
does not cure
