/ Deering Binders and Mowers have
Abroken all records this season. Our sales
on these machines have been remarkable,
considering crop conditions, and not one

The Deering won the highest praise
where Others failed. Deering Corn Har-

SCOTT'S EMULSION

We don't put Scott's Emul- sion in the class of advertised cure-alls; it doesn't belong there. We hardly like to use the word "cure" at all, but we are bound to say that it can be used for great many troubles with great satisfaction. Its special function is to repair the waste of the body when the ordinary food does not nourish, and this means that it is useful in many cases which are indicated by vast ing.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis~ ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis~
 ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
 Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply.
 Hyomei is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill ing the germs in the air passages. it enters the blood with the oxygen, de- stroys the microbes in the blood and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison.
 Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy.
 Mrs. Le Rendu, 76 Western avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, writes: q believe HyOmei saved my life. I am better now than l have been in thirty years. Many doctors, both in England and France, treated me for catarrh, but l was not cured until I used HyOmei"
 Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers Of Fly omei to cure catarrh is the fact that II. Goodman will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cur ed you.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $I00, consisting of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will effect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, long CT use may be necessary, and then ex- tra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for soc.

CAME AFTER n'CLAIN
Arrival Yesterday Of Detective Sims
 of Des hoines.

Detective Sims of Des Moines arriv- ed here yesterday after McClain. alias Belmont held by City Marshal Me Kinney as a fugitive from justice. Me Clain was wanted for highway robbery and was being held under a bond of $l,000 that had been provided by his attorney. Suddenly he left the coun- try and his bondsmen became anxious
 It is said that he secured the bond of his attorney very largely through the appeals of Mrs. McClain, who de- posted with the lawyer $175 worth of jewelry as an earnest of her husbands good intentions. McClain said yester- day that his wife had previously de- posted jewelry to help him out of trouble and of even greater value, so it is surmised that this is not the first time the penitentiary has yawned for him.
 Detective Sims came armed with re- quisition papers which were filed with the governor yesterday and may per haps be acted upon today.
