4. E. MoSSborg Will Return Money II
Hyomei Fails. No Stomach Dosing.
Hyomei has made so many cures OF
the most chronic and deep seated cas-
es of catarrh, that A. E Mossberg
considers it a specific in this disease.
He extends an Invitation to all
catarrh sufferers to call at his store
and purchase Hyomei outfit with the
distinct understanding that it will be
absolutely free unless it effects cure.
The chief reason for the unusual
success of Hyomei in the treatment Of
catarrhal troubles and other diseases
of the air passages, is the fact that it
cures by new principle, impregna-
ting the air you breathe with healing
and germ killing balsams. On this
account it reaches the seat OF the dis
ease in a way impossible to pills,
drugs or other stomach dosi' G.
Many Of Mr.. Mossberg's customers
who have suffered with catarrh since
childhood have been cured completely
by this scientific remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
81, and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the purse or pocket, q
medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei. Extra bottles can be obtained
for SOC, making it most economical
rono6v for tho cnro Of catarrh
Do not suffer lor ger with catarrhal
disorders, but get a Hyomei outfit
from A. Il Mossberg, under his guar
antee to return the money if it fails.
You run no risk whatever. II it cures,
the treatment is not expensive, while
If it fails, Mr.. Mossberg will refund
your money and it costs you absolute
ly nothing.

" Mining Properties.

The alleged discovery OF gold near
the little village of Swanville, in
Morrison county, has been reported
during the past winter in the news
papers north of US. 1t appears now,
according to press reports, that the
rumor is founded upon fact Not
only has gold been found in the hills
near Swanville, but silver and copper
have also been discovered, and people
from sll parts Of the state are rushing
to that point. The Brainerd Tribune
says:
Excitement inc dent to the mineral
discoveries there Is at its height The
rush OF prOspectOrs to the hills is we'll
under way, and not train comes into
the station without leaving several
strangers who have been attracted bv
the rumors of the presence OF precious
metals in the hills ana streams in the
neighborhood.
At Irish creek and vicinity the
country is being searched for gold
and silver, strong evidences OF which
have been found. One man who has
been at work there for several days
has found quantities Of the finest of
gold dust and small nuggets in the
sand of the bed of the stream, and has
had them on exhibition in tho village
Tor day or two. 1t has also been
determined that bed rock lies only
about twelve feet below the surface of
the ground there and this ia taken as
good Indication.
Work on shafts in the Pine lake
nei ehborhood is progressing rapidly,
and it is stated on the best of author
lty that lodges of pay ore are near
At the Joseph farm, two miles from
the village, where evidences of large
bodies of copper ore we're discovered
last winter, work has also been in
process for two weeks, with the result
that last week it was decided that q
large body OF the richest kind of ore
had been found. The owner. will take
some of the specimens to the twin
cities for examic atiOns and to interest
mining men to take hold Of the matter.
In the L IKE Beauty neighborhood,
in the same hills, large party of
surveyors and mineralogists have
been at work for month examining
the surface indications and last week
completed the work of surveying many
sections of mineral land and stalking
them. 1t is rumored this party was
there In the interests Of Duluth

Two hundred school teachers Of
Story county, Iowa, have been swind-
led out of $3.50 apiece by two scoun
drels. The teachers each gave their
notes for that amount. In return they
were to have 10 books apiece, and a
course in an alleged summer school to
be he'd at Ames. The notes were sold
to q bank, and the sharpers skipped.
Were it not for the fact that the county
superintendent himself was caught in
the scheme, he ought to revoke the
teachers certificates, simply on gen.
eral principles. Perhaps, however,
they are bright enough now to know
that gold bricks are expensive and
that getting something for nothing is
usually a bitter experimentation.
