The Guaranteed Catarrh Cure.

w. D. Head Will Return Money If
Hyomei Fails. No Stomach Dosing.
Hyomei has made so many cures
of the most chronic and deep seated
cases of catarrh, that w. d. Head
considers it a specific in this disease.
He extends an invitation to all Ca
tarrh sufferers to call at his store and
purchase a Hyomei outfit with the
distinct understanding that it will be
absolutely free unless it effects a 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 a 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 dosing.
Many of W. d. Heald'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,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for Soc, making it a most
economical remedy for the cure of ca
tarrh.
Do not suffer longer with catarrhal
disorders, but get a Hyomei outfit
from W. D. Head, under his guaran-
tee TO return the money if it fails.
You run no risk whatever. If it
cures, the treatment is not expensive,
while if it fails, w. D. Head will
refund your money and it costs you

A Cruel Criticiam.

She was an amateur artist and, like
most of her kind. considered herself
several laps in advance of the average
amateur. She was eager, however, to
know how her work would impress one
of the masters who had managed to
grasp tickle fame by the hack Of the
neck.
One day a real painter called at her
home, and she Immediately conceived
the idea Of testing him. She would
show him a specimen Of her handi-
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as being
the creator thereof.
So the fair amateur proceeded to
guide the real painter toward her mas
terpiece.
"Of what school would you call this
painting?" she asked expectantly.
''Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.

peared on the brilliant future of the

ENDS LIFE WITH A RIFLE
DESPONDENT Young MAN OF
PULLMAN, WASH, SUICIDES.
II. e. Gregg Puts a Bullet Through His
Heart Because He Had Written His
Girl, Making False Accusations
Died InstantIy-GirI Was Near, but
Seemingly Not Affected.

Pullman, Wash, April 12.-Driven
to desperation by the Indifference Of
the girl he loved and believing that
her refusal to love him was due to his
own rash act in having written her n
letter accusing ner Of intimacy with
another man, Harley Everett Gregg.
q years old, placed the muzzle Of a
gun against his breast and fired a bull
let through his heart Sitting beside
a table on which lay letter he had
just written to the girl whose coldness
drove him to commit suicide, the
young man took his life.
Death was instantaneous. The body
was found sitting In the chair in an
almost natural position. with the left
arm resting on the arm OF the chair
and the right arm hanging by his side.
The gun, 22 caliber squirrel rifle, had
been pressed against his breast. the
butt resting on the table on which he
had been writing. and the trigger
pressed with the finger of the right
hand.
The girl. for whose love he gave
his life, was less than 100 feet distant
when the fatal shot was fired and
heard the report OF the gun. She
was present when Coroner Crawford
visited the dead man, but seemed not
in the least affected by the death of
her lover.
Gregg had evidently attempted sui
eide with revolver in the girls pres
ence recently, but the cartridges failed
to explode. In the letter which he
wrote a few minutes before he died
and which was addressed to Dear
Jene." he wrote: you said you hoped
all the cartridges would fail to go as
those did in the revolver, but they
won't" The letter then tells of the
writer's love for the girl to whom 1t
was addressed and declares that life
without her love is not worth living.
You and mother are the only ones I
ever loved" wrote the despondent
man.

COMMISSIONER SARGENT TELLS
WHAT HE KNOWS.

Philadelphia.-The immigration prob
lem was discussed at a session of the
American Academy of Political and So.
cial Science. The subject was pre-
sented in a comprehensive address by
Frank p. Sargent, commissioner of
immigration, who spoke on govern.
ment regulations. Among other speak
ers was Franklin H. Giddings, LII. D.,
professor of sociology at the Columbia
university. Speaking on "The Prob
lem of Assimilation" Commissioners
Sargent said. in part:
mo question of public policy is Of
greater importance or affects so close
ly the interests of the people OF this
country for the time, present and to
come, as that of immigration. 1t pre-
sents both practical and a sentl-
mental side. 1t can not be dealt with
as other public issues. 1t has become
an established principle of this govern
ment to frown upon the efforts Of for
eign countries to send to the United
States to become burdens thereupon
the INDECENT, the morally depraved,
the physically and mentally diseased,
the shiftless and all those who are in
duced to leave their own country, not
by their own independent volition and
their own natural ambition to seek
larger and more promising field Of
individual enterprise, but to carry out
some selfish scheme, devised to take
undue advantage of some classes Of
our own people or for other improper
purposes. Such a policy is wise one,
as we'll as obligatory upon the govern
ment Of this great country.
"The total estimated alien immigra-
ton to the United States from 1776
to 1920 was 250,000. The total num-
ber of arrivals for the fiscal year end
ed June 8, 1908, was S57,046. This is
the greatest number that ever applied
for admission in a single year. The
nearest approach to this was In 1889,
when 7S9,900 were admitted"

PROGRESS IN IRRIGATION.
Five Projects Look Good to the Gov
ernment.

Washington.-The progress made in
the irrigation work of the government
is reviewed in a publication issued by
the geological survey, which points
out the necessity for great caution and
conservatism in the expansion of the
reclamation work. 1t says that OF the
irrigation projects favorably reported
in 1908, which included those on the
Truckee river in Nevada, on the Salt
river in Arizona, on Milk river in Mon,
tana, on Sweetwater river in Wyoming
and on Gunnlson river in Colorado, the
Nevada and Arizona projects have
been declared feasible and construction
on the engineering works along me
Truckee and Salt rivers has progressed
to a reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering diff
fculties, as well as complications re-
garding water rights. so that progress
is slow. 1t has been found necessary
to modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results.
ut w SoihihS BipgNNN uo hiSt o'N-
lined has been found impracticable. A
better reservoir site than that Of the
Sweetwater, however, has been dis
covered on the North Platte. so that a
large system of development may be
worked out there in the futh.'e. En-.
gineering difficulties are encountered
in the Colorado project. The amount
OF arid lands thereby reclaimable is
less, too, than was expected.
