 The falling of in price of Calumet and Arizona and Superior and Pitts. burg is no doubt caused by the official announcement of the representatives Of these companies in this district, that if necessary, these properties will be closed down indefinitely before the mine management will agree that the labor conditions in that camp shall be changed that tho Warren district shall be a union camp as against an open camp.

FORMER GOVERNOR WOULD STOP
 BREAK
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Ai rom lhufshay l'allg.D
 Former Governor Wol1ey is engaged in negotiating with the southern Pa. cifc Railroad company for contract to prevent a repetition of the outbreak of tho Colorado river into the Salton Sea. The plans of MT. Woliicy were submitted to Col. Randolph and n board of southern Pacific engineers, and were approved. The engineers admitted effectiveness and the cost involved was less than half that of any other pro- posed plan for the river IL was thought at that time that the government would come ,o the aid of the railroad com. pany. and it was decided that the ox- pensc should be borne by the two par ties most directly interested, the rail road company and the Mexican govern nent. The company, however, Is still aware of the necessity of securing it. self against another disastrous out break, and II is understood that the plans of Mr. woldey are Co be adopted snte contract awarded to him for per forming the work.
 In a general way his plans involve the construction of cement retaining wall along that part of She river where levees have been constructed and where the break will occur if one occurs at ail. The idea uf the wall is by no means new one, for there Is such wall along the lower Mississippi in various sections. but those walls were built re. | glrdless of expense. The wall that Mr. Wolhcy proposes Co construct will cost only trifle of tho part of one of those Mississippi walls, and according to inc engineers, will be equally as effective ii Is proposed Co sink holes along Inc river bank to considerable depth aud | hll them wth cement by hydraulic prr- utp Thc.r holra wiii ho located so neat each other that when thc cement Is forced into them by great hydraulic force the wall so formed will be pras tirally n solid one. However loose Che soil into which they are sunk may be- it will furnish Inc cement piers with sufficient backing to withstand the foreost enerosch Of Inc food.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hymoei's Tonic Healing
and be cured of Cdtdrrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach with medicine. &
1t is the healing oils and balsams Of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, kill
ing all catarrhal germs, and restoring
health to the mucous membrane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives curative
air bath to the air passages that has as
powerful healing and antiseptic effect
as that found in the mountains where
the pine forests give off their fragrant
and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and healing
Hyomei, and see how quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles
L. P. Van Werden has seen so many
cures, even in the worst cases of cata-
rrh, with offensive breath, rising of nue.
us, frequent sneezing, droppings in the
throat and spasmodic coughing, that
they feel warranted in selling Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. He takes all the risk.

A Fortunate Find.

Last week, the day following a sale
which he had held at his home near
Akron, Mo-, Wash Morgan went into
Scott s. McClaran's store and asked one
of the firm members to give him the
total of his account, at the same time
pulling long envelope from the inner
pocket of his coat on which to make the
memoranda. But on being told the
amount, with the exclamation, "Pshaw!
| can remember that" he tossed the
supposedly empty envelope on the top
of a cracker box and walked out, hitch
ed IN his team and drove to Leon.
And later on in the day he remem-
bered something.
He was in store at the time figuring
with lead pencil and both hands to
see if there was any manner OF means
whereby he could spend ten dollars and
make net saving of nine and "siX
bits" when it became apparent to the
clerk waiting on him that there was
something else on Mr.. Morgan's mind
besides his hat.
Akin to the emotional actress in a
kerosene circuit drama who wanders
out in front Of blue painted forest and
is seized by a burly villain, Mr.. Nor
gan family gasped, "Lost! lost! lost!'
Then he turned around and walked
right out again. lie also came right
back to Davis City and those who saw
him on the return journey say that the
rear wheels on the wagon had pretty
hard time keeping up with the front
ones.
But he arrived here after period of
time, which seemed to Mr.. Morgan an
eternity, and without stopping to feed
his team he galloped into Scott &
McClaran's with about as much sang
froid as is displayed by tramp with a
bulldogs teeth firmly attached to his
trousers, and with eyes as protuberant
as wart on red nose. Straight to
the cracker box, on which he had toss
ed the envelope in the morning, he
tottered and with eager hands seized
the envelope still reposing where it had
been so carelessly tossed and to Carter
Scotts amazement, MIR. Morgan pulled
therefrom nine hundred dollars in
currency.
Lucky? Well we should say Davis
City Lariat.
