PLOT. AGAINST POPE.
STDICK GUARD ON DUTY At The
VATICAN LAST SUNDAY.
Paris Sent Out News That Plot
Against the Pope's Life Had Been
Dscovered-Prior to the Sunday
Services Several Suspicious People
Were Removed From Church.

Rome, June 12.-Never before in the
history of the Vatican has service at
historic st. Peters been conducted
under so strict guard as was that Of
yesterday when the pope officiated at
the Identification services for the Span
ish martyrs with guard of 400 police
officers in and about the edifice. Re-
ceipt of information from Paris that a
plot against the life of the pope had
lice to use the strictest precautions,
and nearly every member of the secret
service was on duty. 1t developed
Sunday that although the plot was
perfected in France it had it's incep-
ton in America, and according to the
police the plan was to kill the pontiff
as soon as he appeared in the ca
thedral.
All officials of the vatican are great
ly worked up over the reported plot
against the pontiff. During the last
week a number of mysterious warn
ings have been received by Cardinal
Merry del Val and other high church
dignitaries, all of them couched in
the same terms and stating that the
pontiff had been marked to die.
Prior to the opening of services in
st. Peters many who could not give a
good account of themselves were re-
moved from the church and several
arrests made, among them being two
men and a woman who answered the
description sent here from Paris Of
to kill the pope, This trio. however,
later proved that they had no con-
nection with any plot and were re-
leased.
The activity of the police is unpre-
cedented, and a number of higher Of
ficials were on duty all Sunday night
directing the search for suspects. 1t is
now stated that according to French
advice a woman suspect was to pre-
tend to faint in church so as to attract
attention and give the accomplices
time to attack the pontiff.
II is announced that nearly 100
known anarchists have been arrested
in various parts of Italy since the or
der was issued Saturday to gather
them in preparatory to the visit of the
king to Ancona. The police will not
relax their vigilance but will continue
to arrest all anarchists, no matter Of
what nationality, Italian Reds" being
sent to jail and foreigners banished.

THEY HAVE GOT ENOUGH MONEY.
Chicago Firm Now Retired From
Business

A plethora Of money. made in such
quantities that the hearts ambition
was satisfied and the accumulation
of more became a tedious occupation,
lis believed to be one reason for the
rumored dissolution Of the present
firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co., prob
ably the largest mail order concern in
the west. Its members are consider
ing the proposition Of New York
syndicate to transform the Chicago
company into a $40,00O,000 corporation
and make it joint corporation.
Eleven years ago the firm had CAPT
tai Of $150,000. 1t is said it's business
today amounts to $5,00O,0O0 a month
in goods handled. Richard w. Sears.
head Of the concern, was Is years ago
poor telegraph operator on a rail-
road In Minnesota. He conceived the
idea Of mail order business in that
section and started 1t.
His success was such that he moved
to Chicago IL years ago, and the
growth Of the house has been magical.

PACKERSIN BAD Way
MORE SENSATIONAL INFORMATION
SECURED AGAINST THEM.
Secret Service Men Were Sent to Chi
cago by President Roosevelt-Re-
port viii Make Beef Trust Back Up
in Its Fight Against Congress and
the President.

Secret service men are reported to
have sensational information in their
possession as to the use of preser-
natives by the beef trust. They were
sent to Chicago by order of the presi-
dent as soon as he had been advised
verbally of the results of the investi-
CATION of Labor Commissioner Neill
and James Reynolds. 1t Is said that
they have concluded an exhaustive in
quiry, which will not only bring the
packers to their knees. but will re-
move the power of the influences that
are being exerted against congress
and the great cattle interests with a
view of forcing the president to CAPT
tulate.
This pressure has become gigantic.
Every business, political and financial
ramifcation of the great trust is be-
ing utilized directly and indirectly to
have a halt called on governmental
exposure and, if possible, get an Of
fetal declaration that the portrayal
of conditions in the packing houses
has been exaggerated. The cattle in
terests of the great west and south
west which for years have been clam
oring in congress and outside Of 1t
for protection against the trust are
even being persuaded that continual
ton of governmental hostility will
ruin them.
A cry of panic has been raised. Not
only the bankers handling the trusts
funds, but their employees, friends and
acquaintance in the business, social
and political world have been enlisted
to use their efforts in gigantic strug-
gle that is now in progress to stem
the tide against the packers.

Simple Way to Cure Catn rrh hv
hyomei Without Stomach
Dosing.

1t is the height of folly to dose ths
stomach with internal medicines tc
cure nasal catarrh. 1t cannot be cured
except the catarrhal germs that are
present in the nose, throat and lungs
have first been killed.
Direct local treatment BY breathing
Hyomei through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, is alb
soiutely necessary to kill the catarrhal
germs and prevent their growth and
formation.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smsrting and raw membrane of
the air passages in the nose, throat
and lungs, kills off the catarrhal germs
and rids the system of the last traces
of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of a hard rubber inhaler which can
be carried in the purse or vest pocket
medicine dropper, and bottle of
Hyomei. and costs only 81, while ex.
ira bottles can be obtained for 30
cents thus making it the most
economical treatment for the cure of
catarrh, as well as the most reliable.
Rotermund positively guarantees
cure when Hyomei is used in &C.
cordance with the simple directions
on the package, or he will refund the
money. This certainly shows his
faith and belief in the virtues of
Hyomei.
