WHAT IS CATARRH p?
Simple Way to Overcome the Dan
gers of this DiSagreeabIe
Disease.

Stomach dosing in the hope of
curing catarrh of the head and
throat is useless and often leads to
serious stomach trouble.
Hyomei, breathed through a
special inhaler that comes with
every outfit. brings a medicated
healing air to every part of the
nose and throat, killing all catarrh-
al germs and soothing and easing
any irritation in the mucus mem
brane.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, extra bottles of Hyomei if
needed 80 cents, and w. s. Lloyd
gives his personal guarantee with
every package that money will be
refunded unless the treatment
cures. 25-27

Car With Speed of 100 Miles an
Hour.

Extensive experiments are being
conducted by the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company at its
Shops in South Louisville to per-
feet mOtar car with which to
equip its line between Louisville
and Shelbyville. Twenty-Five
trains day are now run over this
line. The institution of the troll
lev system. the third-rail and other
motive agencies have been con-
sidered at different times, but for
various reasons they have been
discarded. The expert machinists
of the company are now at work
upon the models of steam and gas
oline motor cars. The model that
has met with the greatest favor is
that of car to be run by gasoline
said to have attained a speed of
100 miles an hour on the Union
Pacific railroad. where it is used
to gather traffic for through trains
from points where limited trains
do not stop.

to death.
Mrs. Gordon went to Lexington
to arrange a compromise with the
Blue Grass Traction Company,
for an accident on that road. She
was expected to return on the 4
o'clock car Saturday afternoon and
her nephew, Gre. g Hypshire, was
there to meet her. She did not
come on that car, however, and il
was thought that she had stayed
with relatives in the city. She
came. however, on the O'Clock
car, leaving it at the intersection
of the road to her home one and
one at miles from car line. Hen
nephew supposed she would spend
the night in Lexington and re-
turned home. As no one was at
the station to meet her she with
her bundles of presents started tC
walk home. The night was cold
and she evidently became numb
and stopped. Her dead body was
found Sunday morning by hel
nephew who again went to meet

asylum to the Western Kentucky
asylum at Hopkinsville. when it
was opened November 81. 1854. is

totally blind.
Lucy Darby was born in the
Lexington asylum, her mother
having been a patient of the insti-
tuition al the time. and lived there
until she was transferred to Hop

case was a strong demonstration of
the influence of the law of heredity.
rs she was the demented offspring

lum officials claim that this one
demented offspring cost the State
more than $4,000 in per capita
alone. The woman had no rela-

The Racial Square Deal.

Throughout my term of service
in the Presidency | have acted On
the principle thus advocated. In
the North as in the South l have
appointed colored men of gh
character to Office. utterly disre-
garding the protests of those who
would have kept them out of Office
because they were cOlOred men So
far as was in my power, have
sought to secure for the colored
people all their rights under the
law. | have done all could to
secure them equal school training
when young, equal opportunity to
earn their livelihood, and achieve
their happiness when old. | have
striven to break up peOnage; | have
upheld the hands of those who,
like Judge Jones and Judge Speer,
have warred against this peo.. .yc,.
because | would hold myself unfit
to be President if | did not feel the
same revolt at wrong done a color
Ell man as | feel at wrong done a
white man. | have condemned in
unstinted terms the crime of lynch
ing permitted by white men, and I
should take instant advantage of
any opportunity whereby | could
bring to justice a mob of lynchers.
In precisely the same spirit l have
now acted with reference to these
colored men who have been guilty
of black and dastarlIy crime. In
one policy, as in the other, | do not
claim as a favor, but | challenge as
right. the support of every citi-
zen of this country, whatever his
color, provided only he has in him
the spirit of genuine and far-sight-
ell patriotism.

IS OUR COUNTRY SAFE?
No Republic Can Long Survive
Unjust and Corrupt Elections.

II is not surprising that Secre-
tary Taft should serve on Cuba SO
emphatic a warning as he did in
his special report to Congress on
the Cuban affair. If the insur-
kectionary habit persists, is the
!, Nv he puts it, If again the Gu
pans divide into armed forces, the
Htrong hand of our Government
will have to be imposed at what,
ever cost to life and property and
permanent peace should then en-
sue because it would be of our
keeping"
The meaning is clear that, in the
view of Secretary Taft. one more
insurrection down in Cuba means
that the United States Govern
ment will intervene, not for tempo
rary but for permanent Occupa-
ton.
And what is the lesson of Cuba's
troublesl And what will insure
{ Cuba's peace and integrity in flu
A'sures
The lesson is that no republic
can long survive unjust and cor
! rupt elections. which furnish the
vitality and machinery of Govern
ment. To insure Cuba's peace anC
integrity in future Cuba must have
fair and free elections. There
must be proper laws for municipal
Governments, for elections ano
for the independence of the ju
dietary and they must be enforced
The lapse from rel ublican ideals
and the ascendancy of corruption
wrought the havoc of last year
and they will destroy again.
Let us be wise and do our little
part ~ seeing that in our city ano
county sc practice fairness anc
honesty in elections. Corruption
will dishonor the entire State
when each county tolerates frauds

to the retail field.
We went first to Langsadter's and then the neigh

we sat down to dinner at the club the field had been
swept clean and the facts before us were these:
The buyer Of the napkins was handsome fellow
of about thirty years dressed in dark sack suit with
pin stripe black derby and patent leather button
shoes. His eyebrows black and heavy. The left
upper incisor of gold and there white tri-
angular scar on one ear-top His ears were the dark
