EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW
Driving Many Worthless cstsrrh
Medicines Out Of Existence.

Medicines Out Of Existence.
The pure Food and Drug Law. which
went into effect the first Of January, has
already shown the good that will follow
its enforcement.
Many worthless remedies, that have
been advertised for the cure OF catarrh
.. disease that is universally prevalent
have been driven out OF existence by the
Pure Food Law.
The enect Of this is to increase the sale
OF remedies that are valuable and that
fulfil the provisions of the law. Hyomei.
for example. is meeting with a larger sale
than ever before. and q James Bet Is
still selling il under a guarantee that
It will cure catarrh or the money VIII
be refunded. Hyomei is scientific trea.-
ment that Is recommended by the best
physicians. 1t cures catarrh without
stomach dosing. through inhaling medioa-
tions that go right to the affected spots.
BY breathing Hyomei three or four
times daily through the neat pocket in
haier that comes with every outfit, its
medioated healing air penetrates u the
most remote parts Of the nose. throat
and lungs. searches out and kills all ca
tarrhal germs. ana soothes and heals any
irritation in the mucous membrane.
The complete Hyomei OUTFIT costs 800
extra bottles n needed. SOC. and is sold
by z. James Belt under the guarantees
thai n Wi cure or cost nothing.

SHOOTS WOMAN in A RAGE

KANSAS CITY, March SIN sud
den passion because his former wife,
from whom he was divorced two years
ago. wanted to postpone a remarriage
until she changed her gown Carl Mat
thews. a keeper I'M Newkirk
Oklahoma, shot the woman in the right
shoulder. inflicted a wound on another
woman. and sent a bullet under his own
heart, causing an injury from which he
probably viii die.
Mrs. Matthews. who is 25 years old.
was a belle in Ponca city Oklahoma,
and had been living there with her
parents and her little girl since the
separation. Recently she went to
Newkirk for the remarriage and was
living in the home Of a friend, Mrs.
Jones, while making preparations for
the ceremony. Although Mrs. Mat
thews was delighted at having won
back her former husbands love, and
was making ready for the wedding with
al the enthusiasm Of a girl before her
first marriage. she was taken by sur
prise when Matthews went to Mrs.
Jones home and proposed that the
ceremony take place at once.
She told Matthews she would have to
change her clothing for other garments
more appropriate for a wedding, and
asked him to wait few minutes.
without further words Matthews drew
a revolver and began shooting One
bullet passed through Mrs. Matthews
shoulder and another grazed the back
Of Mrs. Jones. Sparks set fire to the
latter's clothing and she was terribly
burned before the flames could be ex-
tinguished.
Matthews went outside the house and
shot himself He fell unconscious and
was picked up for dead. He was car
ried to an undertaker's establishment
where it was discovered he was still
alive. Then he was sent 10 a hospital
hut his chances Of recovery are slight.

Snare Time to Make Fight.

Mr.. u. y. Thomson who representeu
tho city in The House of Delegates IN

as a possible candidate TOR the state
Senate. MI. Thomason was seen last
night. and in answer To the question
as 10 whether or not he would enter
the primary next fan as candidate
for the Senate, replied that he could
not make the canvass without serlons
loss OF time and Inconvenience to MS
business affairs. and that II he We're
elected ne would be unable TO give to
the duties OF The position the atten-
ton they deserved without too great a
personal sacrifice,
MIR. Thon1ason also stated that in his
Judgment Richmond had, in the past
been seriously Handicapped in the Leg
islature by not having, as its repre-
sentatives in the House and Senate
men OF as long legislative experience
as many of the counties, and that, IN
consequence, the county members weEt

Mr. Thomason said that as he coul,

FOR MOUNTED POLICE.
Commissioners Likely to Investi
gate Escape of Weathers.

The budget for 1907 grants the demand
OF the police department for twelve
horses and the necessary equipment,
stabling, provender. etc, for the mounted
officers who will patrol the annexed ter
ritory The committee did not, how
ever. make provision for an increase of
the force BY twelve men. as asked by
the department. but as a matter of fact
the dozen additional positions would have
TO be created by ordinance before the
Einance Committee could appropriate
mondy for them
Chief of Police Werner is confident that
the provision for the mounted Officers
will enable the department to give ample
protection TO the east~~n and western
territory recently added to the city. 1t
is possible that a dozen additional off
GERS may be provided for later by the
Council but the department is not known
to be urging this at this time.
The Board.of Police Commissioners VII
probably investigate the escape of James
Weathers. notorious criminal, charged
with a felony from the First Police Sta
ton recently. Weathers was released en-
straw bond by a magistrate, who rec
ognized the man to appear in court next
day without even knowing him by sight.
In fact. 1t is said that Weathers i'm
personated another negro charged with
drunkenness. The action of the board
will. it is believed, be in the nature OF
a vindcatian of the officer. The escar2
