THE DEVLlN FAILURE

For several years the name of
Devlin has been synonym of finan-
cial strength.
He seems to have been a man of
wonderful dush and to have inspired
the financial world with the idea
that he was very wealthy man.
He was surely money maker but
he finally over reached his capacity.
Could he have been contented with
owning and operating one or two of
his big enterprises he would doubt
less have made a success of bus:-
ness and been looked upon today as
one of the prosperous successful
business men Of the west. But he
aspired to be more. He wished to
be king among inanciers and SIM
ply went beyond his capacity, and
today he is looked upon as an ad-
venturer and plunger, if not a
criminal.
His business methods are subject
to the severest criticisms if he has
not laid himself liable to criminal
prosecution. A man has no right
to pose as millionaire and gain the
confidence of people and then
hazard their money, intrusted to him,
in the widest kind of speculation.
His reputed wealth, Sc, 900, 900
is evaporating very fast, and is
found TO be largely in fictitious val
ues and prospective earnings while
the real cash value is probably more
than covered by the indebtedness
He will come out of the deal with
an independent fortune If it is in his
wife's name, while scores of his
poor victims have lost heavily when
they could not spare the money ano
many have lost their all, by the con
fdence in this man Devlln and his
Institutions.
He may have kept himself clea
Of the law but he has violated homo
and integrity In business.

THE STATE TREASURY

From the present outlook the state
stands to lose very nice little sum
of money.
1t seems the state treasurer, has,
contrary to law, been deposlting
the state money in banks of the
state.
His story is that the money was
only deposited as drafts and checks
for collection.
1t might have been deposited in
that shape but 1t is very evident
that it was allowed to remain un.
duly long after collection to comply
with the state law. Mr., Kelley's
excuse that the safe was out of order
ioes not excuse him for depositing
the money in the banks. The safe
in his office is supposed to be in
order, if it were not and he notified
the legislature of that fact and they
failed to repair it, that would surely
aave excused Mr.. Kelly from any
oss on account thereof.
1t looks very much like the bulk
Of the $3.50, 900 in the First Nation
al will be lost. Mr.. Kelley had a
$500. 900 bond signed by Mr.. Dew
lin. He is now a bankrupt. The
state was further protected by Sc
curity Co. for $500, 900.
The assets, we are told, of this
company are but $3.50, 900. II is

COMMUNICATION FROM
THE PEOPLES DRUG
STORE.
Offer to Refund Money if Hyo-
mel Does Not Cure Catarrh.

To the Editor of The Tribune:
| have been recently asked if
the advertisements printed in
your columns regarding Hyomei
were true, where | offer to re-
fund the money if this treatment
does not cure catarrh. | wish
you would please print this let
ter in as conspicuous a place as
possible in your paper, saying
that we absolutely agree to re-
fund the money to any purchaser
of Hyomei outfit if it does not
cure catarrh.
This outfit consists of an in
haler of a convenient size to car
ry in the vest pocket So that the
user can breathe Hyomei four or
five times daily. With this is in
cluded medicine dropper and a
bottle of Hyomei. The outfit
sells for $1.00 and is a most eco
nomical treatment, for the inhal-
er lasts lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several
weeks use, while extra bottles
can be obtained for so cents.
[ trust this letter will settle
any doubts that may have arisen
as to my willingness to refund the
money for a Hyomei outfit, in
case the purchaser is not per
fectly satisfied.
| wish to say emphatically that
this guarantee on Hyomei holds
good, and | will refund the mon
ey to any dissatisfied purchaser
who simply states that he has
used the treatment according to
directions and not been helped.
Respectfully yours,
