CATARRHAL TROUBLE PREVALENT
spri ng Months Cause Catarrh-Breathe
Hyomei and be Cured

Catarrhal troubles are more COM
m on at this season than at any other
time of the year. The sudden changes
that come during the spring months
are productive of many cases of
catarrh that without proper treatment
will become chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient,
and only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh, is
Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops
in the little pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, and then breathe it
for three minutes four times a day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and as the inhaler
will last lifetime and there is suf-
fcient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment, it is the most economical
catarrhal remedy known. Extra bot
ties can be procured for fifty cents.
Ask Hooper Drug Co. to show you
the strong guarantee under which
they sell Hyomei.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Another Postponement of tke Measur
in the Senate


Another postponement of the edu-
cational bill, made special order, for
Tuesday afternoon, was secured in the
senate Tuesday. BY very close vote
Friday next, at II o'clock, was the
time, fixed for consideration of the bill,
which proposes to remove the educa-
tional institutions of the state from the
jurisdiction OF the board of control.
Senator Alleys bill relating to pun
ishment for the crime of murder in the
first or second degree was on general
orders and caused some discussion.
Under an amendment proposed by the
author of the bill, upon conviction for
the crime of murder in the first degree.
the court must fix the death penalty
unless there were exceptional circum-
stances under which life Imprisonment
might be made the penalty.
The amendment prevailed, as did
second amendment by Senator Wilson,
fixing the minimum penalty for muir
der in the second degree at ten years,
instead of thirty. The bill, as amend
ed, was recommended for passage
S. F. No. 1G3, which carries an APP

HEAVIEST SINCE 1857.
Snow Along Northwe stern Line Has
Been Something Awful.

From Fridays Daily. @
There is more snow along the North
western road between Winona and Wa
SEGA at the present time than there has
been at any time since the winter of
lS76-7 This statement was made to
The Winona Independent by an old
time railroad man, and as he has been
familiar with the conditions along the
Northwestern west of here for many
years he knows exactly what he is talk
ing about.
Considering the fact that the snow
along the line is the worst known in
many years, it is not surprising that it
has been impossible to keep the trains
on anywhere near their schedule and
the local northwestern officials are to be
congratulated on their efforts to keep
the line open.
1t is safe to say that the travelling
public greatly appreciates what has been
done.

GRAND DUKES coAcHMAN DEAD.
Man Who Drove Carriage of Sergius
Succumbs to His Injuries.

Moscow, Feb. 22.-The coachman
who was driving the carriage in which
Grand Duke Sergius was riding when
he was assassinated, died during the
day of his injuries. He sustained
seventy-six distinct wounds.
There was a continuous procession
of Muscovites during the day passing
Choudoff monastery and the scene of
the tragedy in Senate square, pausing
to cross themselves at the tall iron
cross which has been erected at the
exact spot where the assassination
took, place and before which lamp is
constantly burning, as before a shrine.
Pieces of the carriage and other evil
dences of the tragedy are continually
being found.
Besides practically continuous re-
QUEENS, an unusually solemn funeral
mass was conducted during the day by
the Moscow metropolitan, assisted by
four bishops, seven archmandrites, or
priests of the imperial househould,
twelve arch priests and twenty priests.
The burial procession on Thursday
will have only few yards to traverse,
1t having been decided to give the
body temporary interment in the adj
joining chapel of Andrew the first
called"
In spite of four days diligent investi-
cation, the police know practically no
more concerning the assassin than
when he was captured fleeing red
handed from the scene of the tragedy.

GREAT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
Attendance at Funeral of Grand Duke
Serqius to Be Small.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Great pre-
cautions are being observed in the OBJ
servations for the obsequies of Grand
Duke Sergius at Moscow Thursday
and in connection with the service in
the chapel of the Alexander chapel at
Tsarskoe Selo at the same hour. The
attendance at Moscow will be limited
and the body of the grand duke will be
inferred in one of the several chapels
of the monastery where it now lies.
Foreign countries intending to send
personal representatives and who in
some cases have already designated
them, have received an intimation
that the presence of such representa-
tives in the existing painful circum-
stances would be embarrassing.
Except the family and immediate
encourage, ministers and foreign am
bassadors, no one will be admitted to
the chapel at Tsarskoe Selo. No Sec
retaries or other embassy or legation
attaches have been invited.

Situation in Poland Is Causing
Great Uneasiness.

London; Feb. 22r--A~ dispatch u
Reuters Telegram company from st.
Petersburg confirming Associated
Press adviees of Fesss7 and Feb. IS.
from st. Petersburg to4the effect that
peace was under consideration adds:
THE Question aof peace has not only
been formally discussed but the condi-
tons on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been
decided upon These are as follows:
Korea to be placed under Japanese
suzerainty; Port Arthur and the Lao
tung peninsula to be coded to Japan;
Vladiyostok to be declared a neutral
port With, an open door; the Eastern
Chinese railroad to be placed under
neutral international administration;
Manchuria as far north as Hardin to
be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
'"Ehe difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity, upon which it
is known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
'The most Trustworthy opinion at
st. Petersburg is that in view. of the
internal situation and the enormous
difficulty in carrying on the war, peace
on the terms outlined will be conclud-
ed within a comparatively short time
If the indemnity question can be ar
ranged, but it is quite possible that
Russia will risk another battle before
a decision is reached"

since the aangled remains OF Chris
tian III. Schindeldecker, were found Sat
urday noon in he@shed in the rear of
his meat market, 523 West Seventh
street, the murderer is. still at large.
All of the suspects arrested were
closely Intercepted by Chief O'Connor
and all proved to the complete salts
faction Of the POLICE that they were in
nocent of any criminal knowledge of
the murder Walter: Gereslnlz, delivery ,

Two. negroes arrested by the police

der was committed.
The fourth suspect, a white man,
living in close proximity to the meat
market, showed to the complete salts
faction OF. the police that he was not
in any way concerned with the COM
mission of the crime. ;,
Hope to Arrest ReaE culnrit:
But: while the real 7eulpritas not
jailed. Chief O'Coffnor is hopeful and
confident that within tWenty-four
hours man will be be behind the bars
who Will be able to clear up the whole
grewsome mystery. 2
The arrest of this man will be eff
fected through connecting the owner
ship of tinsmith's hammer, two pen
knives, and soiled handkerchief, all
four articles being at present in the
possession of the police, who found
them in the room where the brutal
murder was committed, and who are
reasonably certain they were left there
in the hasty flight of the murderer.
II appears that the murderer first
stunned his victim with the hammer,
then dragged the body into the rear
room and hacked it viciously with a
cleaver after mailing up the front door.
The murder greatly resembles the
Gerhard tragedy at New Ulm.
The amount of money the murderer
obtained from his. victim is unknown.
No person yet found saw the muir
derer either enter the shop or leave 1t.
