Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam A.
Hoover. Of Greensboro. ". c.. who
is receiving the congratulations OF his
friends upon his fortunate find OF
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr., Hoover in letter to a
friend in Wilmington writes:
Three months ago / was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh and entire
deafness in the right ear The labor
of hawking and scraping to get my
throat and nasal passages free from
the foul secretions deposited there.
might be about equal to that OF six
mule team with a road scraper to get
the earth from the road side to the
center.
."T purchased an outfit OF Hyomel
and Hyomei balm. and as a result OF
its use my head. throat and nasal pas
saRes are all free from secretions of
any sort. only as Nature designed. and
my hearing IN both ears is nearly as
acute as it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing I'm using Hyomei: just breathe
il and its pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs In the head. throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm used in con-
nection with Hyomei will cure the
worst case OF catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81.
and extra bottles are only so cents.
Ask H. James Belt TO show you the
strong guarantee under which he sells
Hyomei. II costs nothing unless it
cures.

influence usually more upon the
outcome. A notable feature in the
news coming from Philadelphia ana
referring to Mayor Weaver's fight
against the ring in that city is the fact
that the women of the Quaker city are
with the chief executive in his fight
against graft. Governor LaFollette,
in his lecture on his fight against graft
in Wisconsin, declares that the women
of the state were on his SIDE And
wherever fight is on against corrup.
ton and dishonesty the women may be
depended upon to be found on the side
OF right and honesty.
Opponents of WON ems suffrage con
tend that they are not careful students
of events and that they are not capa
BILE of voting intelligenty upon sub
jects like the tariff and railroad rate
revision. But they are unable to deny
successfully that when plain issue is
up for consideration the women car
nearly always if not every time, be
found on the side of right Their in
duence,if politicians and expert OBJ
servers are to be believed, is greater
than even their husbands will readily
admit, and Mayor Weaver has power
full allies in his fight on graft in Phil
adelphia if he has the women on his
side.

LOOMS, FAREWELL

Whether the late Secretary Hay was
friend of Assistant Secretary LOOMS
or Of Minister Bowen in their quarrel.
or whether either was right, among
Iowa people there will be few who will
side with LOOMS because of the little
trick he played on the last day of his
service as assistant secretary. His
farewell act was the discharging of a
former Iowa man, Col. William II.
Michael, chief clerk in the office of
the secretary of state He charged
Michael with allowing leak" regard
ing the cipher dispatches of the de-
partment of state and sum marily dis
charged him.
Mr.. Michael, from the days of John
Sherman, in 1897, has had charge of
the cipher dispatches coming to the
department from ambassadors and
consuls in all parts of the world. Just
as Mr.. LOOMS was about to retire
from his duties as assistant secretary
of state to await the job the Presi-
dent is said to have in store for him,
he took a parting shot at Mr. Michael
who had been friend and sympa-
thizer of Mr.. Bowen in the Venezuelan
imbroglio between Bowen and Loomis.
He wrote to the President at Oyster
Bay, recommending that the cipher
dispatches be taken from the office of
chief clerk ami be turned over to the
office of the chief of the bureau of ap-
pointments, and the President en-
dorsed the suggestion.
The reason given by Mr.. LOOMS for
his action is the supposed leakage of
information concerning important
state secrets. The facts, as: given by
one of the well informed Washington
correspondents are that there has
been no leakage. There have been
three supposed leaks, but On investiga.
ton it was found that in one instance
Secretary Hay himself had inadvert-
emily let out information intended to
be confidential, in another ex-As-
sistant Secretary Hill had been re
sponsible, and in the third another
assistant secretary had been the I'M
whiting delinquent"
Whether he acted wisely or unwise-
ly, Mr.. Loomis' work in this case has
all the appearance of an act prompted
simply and wholly by spite. He had a
quarrel in which he had lost and it
was natural, or would have been with
a man of smaller calibre than Mr..
Loomis has always appeared to be, to
