KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Breathe Hyomei a Few Times Daily
and be Cured-Goes Right to
the Spof

In treating catarrhal troubles, the
first thing necessary is to kill all ca
tarrhal germs that may be present in
the nose, throat and lungs, thus free
ing the system from the poison that
they produce.
Stomach dosing cannot kill these
germs. A direct local treatment is
absolutely necessary, and for this pur-
pose nothing equals Hyomei.
Breathed through the neat pocket
Inhaler that comes with every outfit
Hyomei reaches every tissue of nose,
throat and lungs giving immediate re-
lief, and effecting permanent cure in
the worst cases of catarrh
The complete outfit, consisting of an
inhaler. medicine dropper and one bot
tie of Hyomei, costs only 81. Extra
bottles can be obtained for 90 cents.
H. o. Rolls gives guarantee with ey-
cry Hyomei outfit that the treatment
will cost nothing unless it cures.
If You are troubled with piles and
can't find cure. try Witch Hazel
Salve, but be sure you get that made
by E. c. Dewitt & Co., Chicago. 1t
Is the original. II you have used Witch
Hazel Salve without being relieved it
Is probable that you got hold of one
of the many worthless counterfeits that
are sold on the reputation of the gen.
nine DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Sold
by all druggists.

OPINION OF STEAMBOAT MEN

ion of Capt. Lee.

The finest river steamers in the
world are operated upon the river Nile
They are built especially for the tour

ences that can be found in the most
modern hOstelries. Give to the Missis-
sippi river 9-foot channel a draft
that will encourage steamboat owners.
and it viii be but a question of a few
years when the passenger boats of our
Father of Waters will surpass those of
the famous river of the far east This
is the opinion of many of the best
known and substantial men interested
| in steamboatinS on the great water
ways of the United States.
Steei-huIled passenger and freight
| boats and steel-hulled barges are com
ing, they say, the date of their arrival
being wholly dependent upon the gov
ernment So long as the channel of
the river is lacking somewhere, SO long
as boats are compelled to lay up from
two to six months of the year because
of lack of water, there will be no great
Improvement in the character of the
boats constructed for traffic on the
Mississippi. With conditions so indef-
mite as they are now, owners declare
that they can not afford to put money

those of the Nile or expensive freight

Captain Lees Opinion.
head of one of the largest steamboat
companies on the Mississippi. is au-
thority for the statement that during
the past five years their boats have
carried 100000 passengers, with not
an accident to any of them, yet the
company made nothing out of it, He
assigns as a reason, besides the low
rates, that the present methods of car
ing for passengers do not appeal TO the
best paying class of tourists. Give us
the proper channel" says he, and it
will be but a comparatively short time
until you will witness plying the Mis-
sissippi the finest steamboats, in the
world, carrying tourists on the most
beautiful river trip in the world"
Many rivermen, as well as Captain
Lee, believe that the time is fast APP
preaching when there will be a COM
plete separation OF the passenger and
freight service on the river. The river
can be made the cheapest carrier on
the continent. but the methods of hand
ling the business must be more sys-
tematio than those that have prevailed
in the past, Capt Lee says. The
freight-handling business, he thinks,
must be taken up by the companies
with ample capital. which must bring
to their aid every modern device.
Freight must be carried in steel COM
barges, in which it
can be insured at nominal cost against
both fire and marine risk. These
barges will have to be handled by pow
erful steamboats, carrying nothing but
their own machinery and crews. On

DON'T WORRY ABOUT FARMERS,

The political situation in Kans-
as is attracting the attention of
the remainder of the country this
year, as it always does when there
is anything doing" in Sunfower
politics. The Nebraska State
Journal refers to the recent
Republican state convention and
its work as follows:
1t must be admitted that the
Republican outlook in Kansas has
not been improved by the manner
IN which the state convention was
managed by the railroad politi-
clans. These matters can no
longer be CLOSED over by the
voters. AS for the newspapers,
they are speaking out with a
vehemence and independence
never before noticed in the Sun
Hover state. If disaster comes to
the party it will come through the
operation of the free political pass,

BY means of which the state con-
vention was seduced out of the
plain path of duty. While the
farmers we're busy blowing and
planting serene in the belief that
an aroused public sentiment was
driving the railroads out of
politics, the railroad politicians
were getting their kind of folks
chosen on the county delegations.
Perhaps after all it serves the
farmers right"
There is really no occasion for
any worry about the Kansas farm
ers. They are in the majority
and they know it. Perhaps that
is the reason that they pay so lit
tie attention to the primaries.
They feel secure in the reflection
that if the party slate doesn't suit
them, they can walk up to the polls
and smash it in November. They

THE KICKING COW.

The best cure for a kicking COW is
to try to find out why she kicks, and
to avoid the cause. Cows don't kick
for fun or for mastery" They kick
because they are hurt or startled.
OF course you can break" them by
causing them more serious pain and
terror with the whip than by milking,
but it is not right, and your wrong
method of milking may be injuring

KEMP A BOY WITH TRUE GRIT.

There is boy in the College OF

can keep his courage up to the
point he now has it. His name is
Harry Hubbard Kemp. Three

selected the University of Kansas
as the place for his studies. He
got from York to Lawrence on the
brake beams of freight trains.
1t was dark when he knocked at

his story. The frank face of the
boy impressed Professor Carruth
and he told him to come to the
University the next day and he
would see what could be done for
him. The professor gave him a
dollar and told him to get good
nights sleep.
Before the Offices opened next
morning he presented himself at
the registrars door. He told them
he did not have a cent, but was
willing to work. Treasurer w. X.
Folks was impressed and told him
he would get him work ON the
University grounds Later he
entered the University as a special
