Doing Much to Make
Canon City Attractive

Meeting of the executive committee
Of the Civic Improvement League was
held at the home of DR.. and Mrs. ]
Monday night for the purpose of con-
sidering matters of interest to the
league and to devise ways and means
for carrying on its propaganda in
behalf of city beautiful. With the
exception of Richard Houle all of the
committee was present and plans
were discussed for keeping alive the
public zeal and enthusiasm aroused
in connection with Arbor Day, which
marked the flood tide of the move
ment in favor of a cleaner and more
attractive city.
The Civic Improvement League has
shown no abatement in its efforts to
accomplish the purposes and ambi-
tions of its organization, in fact, its
ardor and activity has increased since
the manifestation of a willingness on
the part of property owners to CO.
operate with it in keeping their pre-
misses clean. The desire for cleaner
streets and alleys, which has been
awakened in all sections of the COM
munity during the last few months,
has given the league much of en-
couragement and of hope and it is
believed that a germ of civic pride
has been implanted that will bloom
perennially.
1t was through the instrumentality
of the league that 500 shade trees
were planted in various parts of town
last month and, as a result of its in
itiative, old and unsightly fences were
torn down and grassy lawns started
where nothing grew before but the
Russian thistle and other noxious
weeds AS a result of its endeavor
twenty-five convicts from the peniten-
tiary were put to work rounding up
the roadways and Strengthening the
bitches along the streets. At its re-
quest the number of prisoners so
employed will soon be increased to
thirty-fye
1t was the agitation of the league
that eventuated in the improvement

How Mitchell EgberS Sell Hy0me1,
the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
Mitchell & Egbers have an unusual
offer to make to our readers, one that
will be of the greatest value to many.
For some years Mitchell q Egbers
have been watching the results from
the use of Hyomei, treatment for
catarrh that cures by breathing medi-
Gated air, absolutely without any stom-
ach dosing. The results have been SO
universally successful that they feel
justified in making a public offer to
treat the worst case of catarrh in
Canon City with the understanding
that if Hyomei does not cure, the treat
ment will cost absolutely nothing.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of neat pock-
ct Inhaler that can be carried in the
purse or vest pocket, a medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is
not enough for a cure, extra bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for SO
cents.
Mitchell & Egbers positively guar
antee a cure, If Hyomei is used in ac-
cordance with directions, or they will
refund the money.

The good that the city is deriving
from the employment of convict la
Dor on the streets is almost incalcu-
liable. In no way does it menace the
free labor of the town. for the work
the convicts do would go undone II
the city had to compensate them at
the wages usually paid for that kind
of work, as its resources are too lin
tied to permit such an outlay of cash.
1t is estimated that the prison la
Dor now being given to Canon City is
worth about a thousand dollars a
month, which is more than one-third
of the entire municipal revenue. With
the equivalent of twelve thousand dol
lars a year to be had for the asking
Canon City ought to be able to keep
her streets in excellent condition.
The executive committee of the
league is in correspondence with the
authorities of Victor and Colorado
Springs in relation to the advisability
of the appointment of a garbage mas
ter whose duty it shall be to see that
no garbage or rubbish of any kind is
allowed on the streets or alleys of the
city. The matter of disposing of the
garbage in Victor and Colorado
Springs is let out by contract every
year, and, if favorable report is re-
ceived in relation to the matter, the
city council here will be asked to
adopt similar plan for keeping the
alleys clean.
J. F. Mari, president of the league,
in company with members of the ex-
ecutive committee, made a tour of the
city the first of the current week for
the purpose of locating old and use
less fences to persuade property own
ers to remove them in the interest of
a more attractive city. They also
urged residents to park, or gravel the

the blue eyes Of the princess fell.

words Of the wandering singer

Kentucky's Names,

Kentucky is known as the Corn
Cracker State from Il game bird en-
joylng the same name which was for
merly found in great abundance in
most parts of the state 1t is also
called the Blue Grass State, from the
belt of land running through the cen
ter, in which this variety of grass
grows to great perfection. In the early
days of our history it was known as
the Dark and Bloody Ground being
so termed by the Indians. 1t was then
debatabe land between the Indians
living north of the Ohio and those
living in the mountains of Tennessee
and Georgia, a sort of battle-ground
for these tribes, which fact gave it the
name long before it was settled by
the whites.

The First Man.

About the middle of the seventeenth
century Isaac de la Peyrere In an odd
little volume entitled The Pre-Adam-
ites," attempted to prove that there
were two creations of men-the first on
the sixth day of the week of creation,
when God created man male and fe-
male" The rabbis interpret the above
passage of holy writ as meaning that
the first race of human beings were
creatures in which both sexes were
united in the same individual. Accord
ing to De la Peyrere, Adam was the re-
suit of the second creation, the male
and female" being having been the pro-
genitor of the gentiles, Adam the ia
ther of the Jews. A great many peo-
pie fell in with the views of De la Pey-
rere, and he was the lion of the hour.
His followers were called "Pre-Adam-
ties" and they increased in numbers
rapidly until finally the movement be-
came so strong that the founder of the
sect was compelled to go to Rome and
abiure his doctrine at the feet of Pope
Alexander VII.

SavnEes and SNUFF.

The habit of snuff taking has been
confirmed among savage tribes for
ages past. In South Africa it is used
among Swazis, Basutos and Matabeles.
Every Zulu today, even in towns, car
ries little square box suspended
around his neck by piece of string or
gut, and the snuff spoon (for they do
not indulge in the homely 'pinch"),
carved out of sleeps bone, often or
namented with intricate geOmetrical
designs and for convenience carried
hanging downward through Il slit in
the lobe of the ear. The Zulu regards
the lobe of his ear as a useful recep-
table for various small articles he
meets with. The umfaan, or house boy,
universally mot with in Natal, has a
penchant for safety pins, which have
to be carefully hidden from his sharp
eyes. Even then he Is usually to be
seen, after going through the rooms,
with Il string of these pins suspended
from each ear until they reach his
shoulders.

Planets with Three Suns.

The people inhabiting the planets in
the solar system of Gamma have no
need of electricity, gas, oil or other
kind of artificial light. In those fa-
vored worlds they have continuous
daylight and probably have no idea Of
a land like ours which is alternately
bathed in sunlight and plunged into
darkness The Gammanean planets
are so situated that as soon as one
of their three suns begins to decline
another appears in sight Each of
these three suns is of different color
red, yellow and blue.

The Accounts of Candidates.

The blanks which the State Depart
ment at Harrisburg has prepared to
send to candidates and treasurers of po-
iitical committees under the new cor
rupt practices act, show quite distinct
ly the far, reaching character of that
law. They should serve as a complete
guide to all whose actions they cover,
says Philadelphia Press.
There are four sets of these blanks,
two for candidates and two for party
treasurers. All expenditures exceed
ing $50 must be accounted for by both
candidates and treasurers, and no one
else is allowed to handle campaign
money. The first blank is the one on
which the treasurer makes his report,
and must be sworn to by him. He
must give a detailed account of the re-
ceipts, expenditures, disbursements
and unpaid accounts and obligations
of the committee or person for whom
he is acting as treasurer, and of every
other officer or other person acting in
behalf or with the authority of such
committee or candidate The amount
received, when and from whom re-
ceived, must be given; also to whom
the nancy was paid, for what purpose
it was paid, and the amount Follow.
ing this must be a statement of unpaid
debts and obligations, to when owing,
for what purpose, when incurred and
the amount. Accompanying this is a
second blank, covering similar items of
receipts and expenditures on which
the candidate must make his sworn
statement
The third blank is to be filled out by
the party treasurer or candidate where
the amount expended does not exceed
$50, and not requiring any statement as
TO where the money came from or for
what purpose it was disbursed. The re
quirement of this blank merely is
sworn statement that not more than
$50 was received or expended A

Simply Way to Cure Catarrh by Hy-
omei Without Stomach Dosing.

1t is the height Of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to 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 absolutely
necessary to kill the catarrhal germs and
prevent their growth and formation.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals the
smarting 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 hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the purse Or vest pocket, a
medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hy-
omei, and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for so
cents
