GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use Of Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case Of Catarrh

No other medicine gives such
promt relief as Hyomei 10 the treat
ment Of catarrh.
The first breath Of this remedy
sOothes and heals the irritated and
smsrting air passages, and the regular
use for a few days or weeks viii cure
the most stubborn case. Some Of the
reports Of those who have been cured
of catarrh by Hyomei read like mira
acles.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but sl.00, consisting Of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
In ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases Of catarrh
longer use may be necessary, ant
then extra bottles Of Hyomei can b
obtained for SOC.
Probably the Strongest eyidencI
that can be offered as to the power
Of Hyomei TO ;ure catarrh is the fac
that Woodbridge g. Purdy viii agree Z
refund the money If you say that HyO
mel has not helped you.

THE FINEST TYPE"
OF MIssoURIAs,
Word Picture Of Capt Cason, Walter
Williams Type Of the Early Mis-
souri, Man-Now Visiting in
This City.

Captain John r. Cason, Of Marshall,
No, ex-Confederate, former secret
service agent, sheriff Of Saline county
at a time when bravery and cool head
ness were essential 10 the Office, pic
tured In Walter Williams master
work 1.-THE State of Missouri as the
type Of the early Missourian, six feet,
two inches in height, weighing about
two hundred pounds without an ounce
Of surplus flesh, straight as an arrow
with hair that is white.
Such is the man that has attracted
some attention on u streets In re-
cent days. Portly bearing, bis stride
is that Of an athelete and his cheerful
~salutation is to be remembered.
There is not a word in The State
OF Missouri" to identify this man al
the typical Missourian. His picture
stands alone as one OF imagination
But Capt. Cason is a man that has
been identified with the affairs Of this
State and country.
Capt. Cason is a native Of MissiSsip
pi and is sixty-one years OF age. Al
the outbreak Of the civil war be en-
listed under the banner OF his native
southland and for four years the
Union had no enemy more bitter. Al
the close Of the war Capt. Oason came
to Missouri and settled in Saline coun
ty where be wa elected sheriff 10 az
ter years and at a time that a CROWD
OF t0ughs and rowdies infested Saline
Needless 10 say that law and ordeI
were upheld during Capt. Cason'I
regime and those Of the toughs thai
did not change their ways took q
parts unknown.
A popular and efficient o%ficial, Capt
Cason accumulated a snug fortuna
which was swept away by unfortunat'
speculations In grain and stocks.
Senator George G. Vest secured 70
him a position with the secret servic
department. and be was sent 70 Pitts
burg with orders to break up q 0
the most dangerous gangs OF counter
feiters that eyer produced and shove'
the queer. This was done In q mar
ner SO effective that 1t brought th
Captain into the limelight Of fame a
a secret service agent aud this repu
tation was sustained while be remain
ed in this dangerous service.
Many Of our citizens are persona
friends and former comrades Of Car
tain Cason and his visits here are al
ways one OF enjoyment to himself a
well as TO bis friends.
This distinguished Misso urian is a
present the guest Of Walter HubbarI
on East Promenade street.

A Sure Thing.

1t is said that nothing Is sure except
death and taxes, but that is not al
together true. DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption is a sure cure for
all lung and throat troubles. Thous-
ands can testify to that. Mrs G B.
VanMetre, of Shepherdtown, w. Va,
says: ~ had a eve case OF Bronchi-
tbs and for a year tried everything
heard OF, but got no relief. One bot
tie of DR.. Kings New Discovery then
cured me absolutely" It's infallible

played on next Wednesday afternoon,
and As per cent of the gate receipts will
be divided equally among all members
of the Topeka team. The Ashland ag-
gregation will get As per cent to help
pay their MOTEL bills, and the remaining.
10 per cent will be given to the Park as
sociation. Suppose, however, We ball
park directors, that We cut out your ten
per cent for that one day and give 1T to
the ball players, too, in addition to the
forty-five per cent. Ye have had good
picking this year right along.
A good big crowd ought to turn out
on Wednesday and help the team Most
of the boys will leave town as quickly
as the playing season is over and a few
extra dollars will help them out ma
terially in paying their railroad fares
home, or to such places at which they
intend to winter. The public has not
been asked before this season to at
tend anything in the way of a benefit
for the players themselves. This will
be the only one of the year, and the
fans should turn out and swell the box
office receipts as big as a balloon.
The game will be a good one. Harry
Bone is intent winning the combat.
He is securing the country round about
here for a battery. 1t is probably trea-
to say the latter, but he him
self is sponsor for it, "Ill be fixed for
then,' said Harry suspiciOusly.

FIREWORKS TO BURN.
Rock Island Has $1,000 Worth to Sell
to Republicans.

There are six big packing cases of
fireworks at the Rock Island depot
worth probably nearly $1,000, which
were left there about two years ago
by the Pompeii display people, and
which will be sold to the Republicans
of Topeka for use as campaign ammu-
milton. The packing cases contain
bombs and rockets of the heaviest cali
Der, all the stuff being of very expen-
sive nature. The Rock Island people
are very anxious to get rid of the stuff.
They consider it menace to their
peace and safety.
The only objections which the Re
publicans have to the stuff is that it is
too heavy to be used in street displays
and marching work. 1t must all be
shot from one place. Owing to this fact,
the marching display of fireworks which
was planned for the Republican rally
here on September 10 may have to be
omitted. There is not time to order a
new supply and the Republicans were
counting on using the fireworks in the
six packing cases.
Just why the Pompeii people never
used the contentS Of the six packing
cases is not quite clear. The day they
were to be used. they sent to the freight
depot, paid all the charges, and pre-
sunlably took a new of the cases away.
But these six cases were left, and have
never been called for. The Rock Island
will now sell them to pay storage
charges.

CHINESE CAN STAY.
After Being Legally Admitted to the
United States.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. BIN his decision
rendered today in the case of Leo Won
tong, the Chinaman against whom a depo-
sition case has been pending for several
weeks in the United States courts, held
the Chinaman could legally remain in this
country, Judge Rogers of the United
States court gave the first legal opinion
on the ST tus of Chinaman who changes
his occupation while in this country. The
Chinese exclusion act grants merchants
the privilege of coming into the United
States. 1t excludes laborers. Lea Won
tong entered the country as merchant,
holding that occupation for several years.
Four years ago he became a 1aborer and
the customs department sought to deport
him, holding that a laborer he had no
right to enter this country and therefore
had no right to remain. The Chinaman
contended that he came into the country
legally, and, once here, the government
had not the right to send him back to
China.
Judge Rogers opinion will be the first
ever handed down the subject.

POLICE HAVE HOUSE CLEANING.
This Fact Is Regarded With Much Ap-
prehenSion.

A squad of. policemen were cleaning
house this morning. They were do
ing the cleaning by proxy-five or six
of them directing the movements of
two TRUSTEES. Thirty-two kegs of beer,
in various stages of rottenness, were
poured into the sewer, and the kegs
piled up in the entry, and lot of loose
bottles cased up and stored away in
a far corner of the dungeon.
All this preparation BODIES evil for
the jointist. They never clean out the
Jail basement unless they need room
for fresh p1under. The fact that Chief
Stahl ordered the kegs piled~outside
instead of leaving them in the strong
room, is taken for an indication that
he intends to refill the place. The
beer poured out this morning was all
spoiled. ard the formaldehyde and
other disinfentants spread around in
the place failed to kill the vile smell.
The police station smells worse than
the back yard of a brewery.
