BREATHE HEALING AIR.
Hyomei Destroys Germs of Catarrh
and Cures the Disease
Back If 1t Fails.

No other treatment for catarrhal
troubles is as pleasant and conven-
lent to use as Hyomei. Simply put
twenty drops of Hyomei in the in
haler that comes with every outfit,
and then breathe it for few min
utes four times day, and it will
cure the worst case of catarrh. In
this way, one takes into the air pass
ages of the head, throat and lungs
air that is filed with balsamic heal
ing and antiseptic fragrance. It goes
to the most remote parts of the air
passages, destroys all catarrhal
germs, and enriches and purifies the
blood with additional ozone.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided Improvement, and
in a short time there will be no fur
ther trouble with catarrh. Its good
effects are quickly gained, and the
benefit i permanent.
1ru take n, risk in buying Hyo-
mel. The complete outfit costs but
one doll"r, and #, attsr using you
can say thallt did not give satisiac-
ton, j. II. Hill & Eon will return
your money. You have the prom
ise of one of the most reliable drug
firms in this section, that Hyomei
will cost you absolutely nothing il
you say cit did not help" You are
to use it entirely at their risk, with
the understanding that your money
will be returned without question OF
argumen, if you are not satisfied
with Hyomei.

Butler Strikes 1T Rich.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Marion Butler, who left to-day for
Sampson county, has made fortune
in recent Indian deal that was ne
gotiated by syndicate composed of
prominent Washington politicians,
one of whom is said to be Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania. This syn
dictate was organized to press a suit
on behalf of the Delaware Indians
against the Cherokee's for LAT 900
acres of valuable land. The syndi-
cate reports haiti has expended 500
900 il pressing the suit, but that 1t
asked nothing iioui the Delawares
except az oil lease on so acres OF
each Delaware sallotment. The syn
dicate will secure a fee of more than
81, 10000 for suit which it lost and
which it took on contingent fee.
From all accounts the possibilities OF
oil leases on the land are almost fab
ulous

RUNORS Of another BATTLE
IN WHICH THE JAPANESE
ARE WORSTED.
The Report Comes From st. Pc
terSburg and Lacks COnfir-
matiOn--Other News From
the Seat of War.

London, May "a dispatch tc
| the Central News from st. Peters.
| burg says a rumOr is current there
| that a second battle has been fought
at Kiu-Lien-Cheng in which the
Russian loss was 1000 and the Jap
anese loss 10000. 1t resulte d in the
japanese being driven back in dis
order. The dispatch adds that no
confirmation of this report is obtain
able.
New Chwang, May 5.-Five Jap
anese warships, with a large number
of transports have been seen near
Kin Chou Bay on the west coast of
the LiaO Tung peninsula, north of
Port Arthur.
Port Arthur, May 5.-The Jap
anese squadron is behind the Liao-
Shan promontory, south of Port Ar
thur. Transports with japanese
troops on board have arrived at Pit
seWo, northest of Port Arthur, with
the object of making landing.
Paris, May 81 dispatch to the
Temps from st. Petersburg confirms
previous reports to the effect that the
japanese fleet reappeared off Port
Arthur yesterday and that an en-
gagement occurred off Gen-San, Ko-
rea, between a japanese squadron
and the Russian squadron from
Vladivostock.
ST. Petersburg, May Sit is be-
Heved here that the japanese plans
for concerted action have been en-
barrassed by their failure to block
the entrance to Port Arthur Tuesday
and repetition of the attack on the
Russian Gibraltar is momentariIy
expected. Vice Admiral TCgo's
fleet was sighted off Port Arthur
and indeed unconfirmed rumors say
he attacked at daylight this morn
ing and that fighting is now in prog
ress there.
At least the cutting off of Port
Arthur, if not the fate of the fortress,
depends, in the opinion of the gen
eral staff, upon Gen. Kuropatkin's
preventing juncture of the Jap
anese forces.
Port Arthur, May 5.-The Japa-
nese displayed desperate courage in
their freship attack on Tuesday
night. AS the ships went down un-
der Russian fire the crews climbed
up the mast polls and cheered for the
Emperor of Japan; and their small
boats, though soon riddled, did not
raise the white flag. A Japanese sol
dier who came ashore, when asked
