CHOKING UATARRH CURED.
Your Money Back if Hyomei Does
Not Cure You.

"Use Hyomei and be cured of Ca

to stop catarrh at its beginning II you

giving, balsamic air for a few minutes
and your catarrh will be cured. In the
worst cases Of this disease, chronic or
acute, Hyomei used four or five times
a day is all that is. needed to soon effect
a cure.
In this city and neighboring towns,
thereiare hundreds who can testify to
the remarkable powers Of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. Many Of the staunch-
est friends Of this remedy to-day be-
gan its use with little hope that they
would be cured, but as Woodbridge s.
Purdy offered to refund the money II
1t did not cure, they decided to try 1t
on that plan, and we're soon restored
10 health.

OFF TO THE HIGR GRASS.
st. Louis Negro Escapes From the
City follower.

Sam Pash, a st. Louis negro, who
was being held In the city bastile, on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons, escaped Sunday night by the
aid Of a p~en-knife.
In the summer time the prisoners
are allowed access to the corridors of
the holdover as the cells are rather
close, because of this Pash was able to
reach the west door and cut the wood
work away which surrounds the screw
holding the bar. When the wood was
entirely demolished he gave the door
a push and was free. From the con-
dition Of the bars in q window 1t
appears that he endeavored to make
his escape at first by pushing the bars
apart, but finding this impossible he
restured to his pocket knife and the
door. No effort is being made to re-
arrest him as the city officers consider
1t a good radiance.

Has ground the niche Of time,
And marked the weary moments
Into more pleasure divine.

Notes.

/ got mine.
The supper was great.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Hubbardson's None Such was In
demand. It's great stuff.
Gun grease was awful good, specially
along about 8 or 4 o'clock, a. m.
1t was a happy occasion. All had
a jolly, good time. The crowd was es.
timated at 125 %souls-then some.
Thanks to Phillip Shire for favors.
Col. Shire owns one of the best farms
In the Prairie Lea d~lstrict-the garden
spot of Audrain county. He has a
good looking wife, bright children and
is, or ought to be, happy. Philip and
family occupied front seats at the
Holtkamp jubilee.
Pretty gowns were worn by both the
young ladies and old ladies, too.
Bob Wright always gets to the front
with both feet and the affair would
not have been a success without Col.
Jim Ford. Jim is a favorite with the
fair sex.
Prof. Mudd, Prof. Harvey and the
|OHToole Bros. furnished sweet, soul
stirring music and it was up-to-date.
We wish to thank Mrs. Bob Wright
and Mrs. Ben Holtkamp for favors
shown us during the jubilee. We have
promised to eat fried chicken with
these two popular ladies sometime this
summer. Wen be there.
The girls were handsome, the boys
gallant, the supper good and the gun
grease sweet and juicy.
Joe Pratt Is a slayer but went to
sleep on US while coming home. Any
old time that Joe and the writer does
not have a good time-why, the stuff
off and there's something doing.
Theodore Holtkamp does nothing by
halves. During bis wedding anniver.
sary he gave his many friends a little
touch Of high life.
There vas something doing last
Sunday and Sunday night and Monday
and Monday night at the jubilee. AT
dinner Sunday 81 souls we're seated at
the festive board, ate heartily OF the
many good things and dipped their
bills. F~orty-fve ate dinner Monday
and sixty-nine took supper Monday
evening. At supper Monday Mrs
Anna Watering, Mrs. Pauline Schra-
der, Mrs. W. r. Mudd and Mrs. Frank
Mudd were walters at our table and 81

Miss Stella O'Toole and Miss Maggie
Mudd were considered the most grace
full dancers at the Monday night ball.
They T exceptionally pretty girls.
Joe Pratt and Jim Ford carried off the
cake for the most graceful gentlemen
dancers. They are professionals.
Col. Charlie Lewis, Col. Joe Holt
kamp, Billie Sims and Wray Mudd had
charge of the high five table.
Miss Maude Parks was voted the
handsomest young lady present and
Phillip Shire the homeliest man. Jim
Gilpln says some boodlers were doing
their work or else Frank Mudd would
have turned Philips face to the wall.
1t is to be regretted that E. z. Marx,
with his poetry and song, and Roy
Key, with bis photograph, were unable
to be present.
Ed. Dermody got lost on bis way to
the jubilee but found his way back To
town Tuesday. He also lost a nice
present which he intended to give to
bis friend, Theodore. Too bad.
