TO SINGERS AND
Chas. W. Loomis Urges Them to UsC
Hyomei, Willing to Sell II
On Approval.

A new and specially valuable use fol
Hyomei has been discovered, one thai
will be particularly welcomed by sin.
gers and public speakers.
The free use of Hyomei, breathed
through the inhaler that comes with
every outfit, carries healing balsams
to the head and throat, and strength
ems the voice. Chas. w. LOOMS has
had several of his customers speak to
him in regard to the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Hyomei for this
special purpose, and will be glad TO
sell it on approval to any singer, min
lister, teacher or public speaker.
He feels sure that the use of Hyo.
mel for this purpose will make many
new friends for the treatment. If it
does not give satisfaction the money
paid will be returned promptly and
without questions.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con.
sisting of an inhaler that can be car.
ried in the purse or pocket, a bottle of
Hyomei and a medicine dropper, costs
only dollar.
Many remarkable cures of catarrh
and other troubles of the air passages
have been made by Hyomei, and Chas.
W. LOOMS agrees to refund the money
to any one who does not find it a com-
plete cure for any catarrhal trouble.
There is no dangerous stomach
dragging with Hyomei; simply breathe
1t through the inhaler, and relief
comes quickly.

THE WAR.

For reasons which it would be hard
to clearly define most Americans
probably sympathize with Japan in
the struggle now beginning with
Russia. Few know much of the
merits Of the controversy, and the
Japanese are Of an alien race and
color, but the fact remains that a
a vast majority of the people incline
to the plucky little island nation
IN such matters nations are usually
impelled by sentiment, but it would
seem that sentimental considerations
might quite as reasonably draw our
sympathieS In the other direction.
or all the European nations Russia
has been the most uniformly friendly
to this country. France has loved
and hated US by turns; Germany has
hated US always and consistently; and
England bullied us in our infancy,
snubbed us In our early maturity, and
has only grown fatteringly amiable
within the past few years when she
had an AK to grind.
Perhaps u reason for our kindly
feeling toward Japan is founded in self
love: we profess to be the godfather
of her latter day commercial civiliza-
tion. 1t was Decatur who broke into
this hermit nation. On the other
hand Japan mas never shown any
particular friendship or hostility
toward US, but has, as toward all the
nations, behaved with justice and
consideration. Russia has ever been
conspicuous among the nations in
matters Of diplomacy and business for
its fairness and high principles, ex-
cept in the case OF its next door
neighbors But run your pencil
around her border from Finland to
Kamtchatka and every country touch
ed will be found stained with the
crimes Of Russias aggressions.
Russia's neighbors are her enemies.
In all things Russia is o%ver-reaching
while fair of speech-to them.
On the other hand the nations OF
the world have long conspired to keep
Russia shut out from the commerce
of the world. The Baltic is frozen
five months in the year. The far
Eastern ports of Siberia are almost as
bid. Though Russia has several
times been on the point of breaking
through Turkey to the Mediterranean
Sea, she has every time been pre-
vented by the Jealousy Of the allied
powers Of Europe. England guards a
little strip that borders on the Persian

The problems OF the Worlds fair
seem to have been complicated by
the experience Of other Worlds fair
cities, The transportation problem
seems TO have been satisfactorily set
tied but the hotel problem is still
troubling the management, 1t is
estimated that the average daily at
tendance Of the fair will be $50 600
The street car lines could not carry
so large a number especially as the
hours Of going and coming will be
nearly the same for all the visitors.
The Wabash railroad has built a
double track and will afford its SER
vice every three minutes, carrying, it
is estimated 20 600 per hour. Lines
of automobile omnibuses will be op
Grated regularly and will afford a
popular m0de Of transportation. The
hotels Of the city cannot a commo-
date more than 60, 900 people, and of
course many thousands must be sub
tracted from this number as repres-
enting ordinary commercial tranSients

The Butler TRIAL.

The jury IN the Butler bribery cas-
reached a decision last week which
was a disappointment 70 a great
many people. The mind OF the pub
lie seemingly had been made up Ant
UndOubtly the public is aroused anC
in earnest in the matter Of boOdling,
aud is in,ent upon bringing the
guilty to justice and Of Kidding the
public service Of men upon whose
reputation there rests any suspicion
OF corruption But the jury was
worn to render a verdict as TO what
it believed beyond a reasonable doubt
from the e0iaence, and it must be adj
mltted that in this case the evidence
against Butler, though positive, was
about as bad as bad could be. 1t is
quite possible that some Of the jurors
b lieved that Butler was guilty,
without believing it from the evi.
dence The six men who testified
against Butler acknowledge that they
had accepted brides for their votes,
from five dollars to three thousand
dollars, at least as often as fifty
times during their terms of office.
They acknowledge that they had
three times previously under oath
denied all the discriminating facts
which they alleged in The Butler
trial. -Four of these six men are yet
to be tried for accepting Buffers
brides. When these cases are called,
what will they testify? Will they
plead mot guilty" and return to
their first position, or will they re-
peat what they have said in the But
Ter case and go to the peoirentiary?
And if they do, or if they don't, will
twelve men believe them in their
own cases, when they have not been
believed 10 the Butler case?
1t is, Of course, exceedingly diff
cult to get evidence in such cases as
this. But it is notable that every
one Of those who testified against
Butler was a confessed boodler and
periurer, and that the disinterested
and honorable members Of the council
denied that they had ever seen Butler
on the floor of the council chamber,
where the prosecutions witnesses
said he boldly went from seat to seat
the night the lighting ordinance was
passed. 1t is enough, or ought to be
enough, that a jury most of the mem
bers Of which are known to at least
two reliable gentlemen of Lexington
as men equal in character to any Laf-
ayette county jury, have decided that
they could not believe from the evi.
dence beyond a reasonable doubt that
Butler was guilty.
