FOLK TURNS 1T DOWN.
Refuses to Participate in Opening of
Marion Opera House.

Governor Folk of Missouri, who
was invited to come to Marion and
make a speech at the opening of the
Marion opera house, has declined.
The Marion people are much tiisap-
pointed. They had the invitation ex-
tended by Governor Hoch, and
thought that since Hoch had done a
good many things to accommodate
Folk, Folk would be willing to re-
ciprocate. But the Missouri statesman
couldn't see it.
So the Marion people are looking
around for another "opener" They
will probably get up some sort of a
home talent show. "They could get
a crowd for the opening of the opera
house, said Governor Hoch today,
''even if they didn't do anything but
ring a bell. The hall won't have room
enough for the crowd which will want
to pay their fifty cents or dollar to get
inside at the opening night

actly the same result, 4.59. There
fore we have once more equalled the
city's record.
Hoop-la! there is more coming.
Probable showers and thunder
storms tonight and Satur day" is the
bulletin at the weather office.

in astonishment.
"Showery,'' he grunted and then
launched into his pet story of how an
Indian once shot at him unawares.

management of the fair do not think
that it will detract from the attend
ance of the other attractions.
The part of the programme of Thurs
day that was omitted on account of the

conjunction with the regular pro-

While heavy rain fell last night the
track is in a passable condition as men

The fair management has made a
special attempt to get the track in good
shape for the races. They borrowed the
long horned steers and the horse herd
from the Miller Brothers show and they
have been driven around the race track
to loosen the soil so that the afternoon
sun may have a better chance to dry it,
The track was then gone over with
drags and harrows and if no more rain

for the races by Saturday afternoon.

heat it is any ones race.
Second race-Two-year-o trot; 5000
purse: This is a hard race. Youngsters
are unreliable and can't be picked with
any certainty. Les Riley should show
and place.
Third ace-Three-year-oId pace; 5000

Fourth race-2:20 trot; $500: Jim Cobb,

Catarrh.

The changeable weather of

cold nights, is responsible for a
great increase ia the number of
cases Of catarrh 1t is now that
Hyomei. the only guaranteed
treatment for catarrah that cures
without stomach dosing, should
be used in every home.
Hyomei is a scientific method
by which pure air impregnated
with Natures own remedies for
the cure of catarrh, can be in
hailed by every sufferer in his or
her home. Breathing through
the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, its heal

reaches the lungs and air pas
sages as no stomach dosing pos
sibly can do. 1t gives i'm mediate
relief and makes lasting cures.
Proof that the Hyomei treat
