cATARRH FROM CHILDHOOD
Cured by Hyomei, the Only Medicine
for Catarrh That n. o. Rolls is
WILLING to Guarantee

The popularity and growth of Hyo-
mel are unique in the annals of medi-
cine. The demand for the Hyomei out
fit and the extra bottles in Rock Island
has been something phenomenal, and
III. o. Rolls says that he has never sold
any other remedy which gave such uni
yersal satisfaction and made so many
remarkable cures.
The worst and most chronic cases of
catarrh readily yield TO the use of Hy-
omei People who have suffered from
childhood have been cured by this rem
edy. j. s. Nugent. treasurer of the
American Union Insurance company

completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh. from which she had been suffer
ing for years
So many remarkable results have at
tended the use of Hyomei amongst the
customers of Fl. o. Rolls. that he feels
justified in using the strongest possible
language in speaking of its virtues, and
when YOU read that he sells it under an
absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure, you will see
that he fully believes in its curative
powers. a complete outfit costs only
one dollar. extra bottles so cents.

England whereby a number of trading

Withholding freight cars and thus

a fact that in some sections the peo-

BELLAMY STORER.

BELLAMY STORER. although a
very decent fellow. is evidently the
victim of a fool wife who insisted on
wearing the breeches and Bellmay
must suffer the consequences. The
president certainly called the Storers
down with vengeance and his ex-
PLANTATION of the affair will be ac-
cepted by ninety per cent of the peo-
pie, both democrats and republicans.
While many bright and aspiring pol
iticians owe their success wholly or
in large part to the sympathetic ad,
vice of their wives who were wise
enough to keep behind the scenes,
BeIlamy Stoler can charge his ignom-
inious failure to the intrigues of an
ambitious and indiscreet wife who
failed to know her place.

HARD SLAP at %

A HARD SLAP at government
ownership was tnat in the nature of
an offer last week by a syndicate of
Chicago business men who offer to
take from the government under con-
tract the q, S. postal department and
run it many million dollars more
economically than the government is
now doing. This syndicate, which
represents several million dollars,
proposes to reduce the postage one,
half on al first and second class mat
ter, transport the government mail at
one half the present cost. pay rea-
sonable rental for all government
buildings and turn over to the gov
ernment all profits in excess of seven
per cent of the money invested in
carrying on the enterprise. The
scheme may appear visionary and i'm
practical to some, and perhaps it is,
but the Offer is made on the common
knowledge that an individual or cor
poration usually accomplishes certain
results for less money than the same
results are attained by municipality
or other form of government and will

the state treasury was recently made
richer by several thousand dollars

SATURDAY. DECEMBER %, 1906
PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIS ACTION

A few years ago when President
Roosevelt saw fit to dine with Booker
L. Washington, Christian colored
gentleman, his enemies made great
ado about it, declaring it simply a
scheme to curry favor with the negro
race. When short time ago the
president, as commander in chief of
the q. S. army, mustered out of SER
vice three companies of colored troops,
these same enemies objected on the
ground, as they put it, OF injustice to
the colored people.
The Post mas all the time believed
that the question of color had nothing
to do with this case and the president
has made this fact very clear in q
special message to congress On the
subject. 1t will be remem bered that
the colored troops attacked the citi-
zens of Brownsville, Texas, the attack
resulting in murder.
In his supplemental message the
president does not mince words but
calls a spade spade in every in
stance and there is no 'simplfied' -
spelling about it, either After re-
citing at length the testimony sub
mitte1 the presi1en saws.
The effort to confute this testimony
SO far has consisted in the assertion
or implication that the townspeople
shot one another in order to discredit
the soldiers-an absurdity too gross to
need discussion, and unsupported by
a shred of evidence There is no
question as to the murder and the
attempted murders; there is no ques-
tion that some of the soldiers were
guilty thereof; there is no question
that many of their comrades privy to
the deed have com mbiued to shelter the
criminals from justice. These com
rades of the murderers, by their own
action, have rendered it necessary

the murderers, in the army, or to
turn them all out and under the cir
cumstances there was no alternative,
for the usefulness of the army would
be at an end were we to permit such
an outrage to be committed with i'm
punity.
In short, the evidence proves con-
clnsively that number of the soldiers
engaged in a deliberate and concel ted
attack as cold flooded as it was COW
ardly; the purpose being to terrorize
the community, and to kill or injure
men, women and children in their
homes and beds or on the streets, and
this at an hour of the night when con
certed or effective resistanCe or de-
fense was out of the question, and
when detection by Identification of
the criminals in the United States un-
form was we'll nigh impossi BILE
So much for the original chine. A
blacker never stained the annals of
our army. 1t has been supplement
ed by another. only less black, in the
shape of a successful conspiracy of
silence for the purpose of shielding
those who took part in the original
conspiracy of murder.

Weekly Stock Letter

Den yer Union Stock Yards, Dec. II
There was another heavy marketing
of cattle here last week, total receipts
footing up just about the same as the
week before. Trade started off Mon
day with snap and prices were gen.
orally 10 to Is cents higher on every
thing, but later good deal of this
advance was lost owing to lower mar.
kets at eastern points. Choice beef
steers were scarce and firm, not
enough coming to supply the demand.
Cows we're plentiful and inquiry very
good. Prices closed 10 to 20 cents
lower than Monday, however, on ac-
count of declines at all eastern mar.
kets. Good heavy feeders held up
pretty we'll but all other kinds are
about dime lower. Choice grass fed
beef steers sold at a 80 to "a. 80, fair
to good kinds at g. s5 to 81. 25 and the
medium to fair grades around 80. 25
to 1915. One lot of fancy Christmas
heifers from the southeastern part of
the state sold at $40O, load of
choice New Mexican cows at f3. so.
best Western Colorado grass cows at
$3. 40 and bunch of fair corn fed
cows from the eastern part of the
state at $3.50 to 1856. Bulk of the
fair to pretty good grass cows offered
sold at 81 65 to *3 20 and medium
kinds around *2.3 to $3.50. Bulls
were in strong demand and higher.
bulk of the weeks offerings selling at
f2.15 TO *2.35. Veals also firm and
in good demand. Business in the
feeder and stocker division was rush.
ing but country buyers continue to
want the pretty good steers. Best
heavy feeders sold at $4.25 to a. 30.
freight paid, with the fair to pretty
good steers at $3. 40 to a. Is and the
common to medium kinds around
~. Is to 1925. Receipts today were
over 2, 600 head and market weak to a
dime lower in sympathy with decliues
at all eastern markets.
The recent slump in cattle prices
was not entirely unlocked for by the
trade as there is always more or less
dullness just before the holidays when
the markets are flooded with poultry
and feeder buyers usually stay at
home, but prospects are bright for a
good market after the first of the wear
and dealers generally are looking for
prices to work little higher.

GAME COMMISSIONER WOOD

GAME COMMISSIONER Wood
ard has completed an exhaustive re-
pot to the governor in which he
makes but few recommendation as to
changes in the laws. Among these
few he advises modifying the law to
cut down the limit on trout catches
from twenty to ten pounds per day
He also says the closed season on deer
should begin earlier because as it now
is the cold drives the deer out of the
mountains before they are protected
He advises a continuance of the closed
season on antelope, elk and crested
quail He makes no suggestion as to
closed season on mountain sheep
although he says these animals have
increased so fast that in some places
the people feed them salt and hay. 1t
is well known to nearly everyone that
the game and fish laws have been bet,
ter enforced aud the game and fish
better protected during the past four
years than at any former period. The
Post heartily agrees wi ith the sngges
tion that the catch of trout should be
reduced. That fisherman is fortu-
nate who makes a catch of more than
ten pounds of trout in day and
those who do often sell or waste a
portion of the catch The idea is to
protecU the fish fer sportsman and the
true sportsmen is pretty well satisfied
with IA ten pound catch.
