TEACHER WADED

ciaD stimulated to action by the
peril of her eleven pupils, marooned
by the carrying away of a footbridge,
Miss Katherine Malahan, teacher in
the little school at North Goshne,
eleven times breasted the rapidly ris-
ing waters of the stream.
When school was dismissed, Miss
Malahan found the little bridge over
which the children had to pass had
been washed away. She tried to sum-
mon help over the telephone, but the
line was out of order.
Miss Malahan realized that it was
up to her to get the pupils out of dan
ger. Rolling up her skirts and making
them fast with safety pins, eleven
times she waded through the cold
waters for a distance of several rods
with a youngster on her shoulders.
When the last one was safely landed
the teacher hurried home and chang
ed her clothing.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
What is Causing the Increase OF
Catarrh in Americus!

In spite of the best efforts of med
ical men, catarrhal troubles are in
creasing not only in Americas, but
all over the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing
organs should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such pos
itiYe and beneficial actions as Hyo-
mel
When the mucous membrane is ir-
ritated and raw and the tissues weak
ened, there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly it soothes the
membranes, vitalizes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, rem
dering catarrh no longer possible.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablets or liquid mixtures destroying
digestion.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyo-
mel outfit, the healing balms pene-
trate to the most remote air cells of
the throat, nose and lungs, destroy
ing the catarrhal germs.
Dodson's PHARMACY agrees to re-
fund the money to any purchaser of

DENIES REPORTS OF
CONGO IRREGULARITIES
King Leopold is Not a
CRATER.

BALTIMORE, MD, Nov 6.-(Spe-
ciaD Mr. James Gustayus Whiteley,
Counsel-General of the Congo Free
State, whose official residence is in
this city, is much exercised over re-
ports which, he says, have been
circulated with the evident purpose
of prejudicing public opinion against
the Congo Free State and its sover-
eign. The reports are false and
malicious, he affirms.
In speaking of the matter yester-
day Mr. Whiteley said: "One of these
false rumors, recently manufactured
in Belgium or England and given out
as based ON official information, has
unfortunately found its way into near
ly every paper in America. 1t is al
legged that King Leopold has deprived
Belgiumso a large part of the Congo
by transferring the crowd lands to
a private company.
There is absolutely no truth in
the report, as the inventors we'll
known. A small private company
was recently formed for the purpose
of trading near Lake Leopold II,
but this company has received no
concession in the crown lands and
no concession will be granted it dur
ing the pending negotiations for the
annexation of the Congo. In any case
no concession is ever granted unless
due compensation is given in return
to the state or to the Crown Lands
Fund"
1t is ridiculous and wholly unjust
to accuse King Leopold of accepting
graft or finding any personal motive
in granting these concessions. He
has been prompted only by what he
believed to be the interest of the
state. If he should desire to get
any shares of any concession he
would be obliged to buy them with
his own money, as would any other
man"

This money represents a surplus
of revenue taken from the pockets of
the people principally to maintain a
protective system regardless of the
needs of the Treasury, and the evils
disturbing the country through bad
trusts are created by the same policy,
which takes this money out of the
pockets of the taxpayers and the ex-
cuse for its being transferred from
the Treasury Department for the use
of the banks is a condition resultant

ROASTS ROOSEVELT
FOR BANK DEPOSITS
People. Over Taxed For
Financial Juggling.

In a review of the financial situa-
ton the Baltimore Sun says:
To get at those whom he wanted to
strike Mr.. Roosevelt has hammered
down public confidence to the break
ing point, and then to save the situa-
ton has thrown into the banks mill
lions from the public treasury, col
lected in excess of needs, and then
hammered again and deposited again,
Withdrawing when he could funds to
conserve his resources of available
cash in the Treasury, and then has
hammered yet some more and de-
posted yet again.
Use of Government Cash.
The fuctuation of government de-
posts in national banks tells the
story. So much of the government
funds was used in the manipulation
of this campaign being conducted by
Mr.. Roosevelt that when the panic
actually came S30,000,000 was the
limit of what the government could
produce to meet the crisis, and that
left the Treasury Department more
than $30,000,000 below what it usual
ly regards as working cash bal
ance With an available cash bal
ance to the credit of the Treasury De-
partment of $235,0OO,OO0, less than
$13,000,000 is now in the treasury,
and $205 100000 of the remainder is
deposited in national bank depositor-
les This vast sum of public money
represents the resources of Mr..
Roosevelt in his fight. Which side is
the victor, whether Roosevelt shall
surrender and 'be good" or whether
the trusts, good and bad together, and
the financiers, whether Heinzes, Har-
riman, Morgans or Rockefellers, must
bow in submission to Roosevelt and
his policies, is yet to be determined;
but the public, either as depositors or
taxpayers, has furnished the money
with which the the fight has been
made.

Saturday evening was one of the most
brilliant and most tasteful functions
seen in this city in long time.
The feature of the evening was the
vocal musical programme rendered
by Miss Jessie Anderson and Mr..
Brines, with Miss Bailey as accom-
PIANIST on the piano.
The club house was transformed
into bower of beauty with spring
blossoms of various kinds. Jardin-
ieres of Towering almond stood on
the piano and mingled with the palms
that banked the platform, while bran
ches of fruit blossoms formed back
ground for the receiving party, which
included the hosts of the evening to-
gether with Mr.. and Mrs. William
H. Cunningham and Mr.. and Mrs.
Donnell. Punch was served by Mrs.
Lee Charles Miller, Miss lone Nor
rison and Miss Elizabeth Mcintyre
from a table where red and white
tulips with sprays of plumosus form
ed the decorations. In the dining
room below, where supper was served
yellow color scheme was carried
out A basket of yellow Jonquils
standing on beautiful lace cloth
formed the centerpiece. The candel-
abra and lights, with their yellow tu-
lip shades completed the pleasing eff
feet
The affair was attended by old-and
valuable friends of the host and host
ess, friends of the days which have
gone, but friends who now are leaders,
the most prominent in business, So
cial, art and literary circles. While
the decorations and general surround
ings were pleasing and beautiful the
chief charm was in the musicale.
The opening number was French
selection from Mignon, " Commas tn
lie Pays" by Miss Anderson. This
was followed by three selections from
the German, "Der Asra," "'Wid-
mung," and In Herbst." Miss An
derson has a voice of power and great
sweetness. She studied music in
France and Germany and in her rem
ditions in the languages of those
countries showed great skill in the
music as we'll as purity of accent and
clear enunciation. ! , =
Mr.. Brines was a revelation to
most of those present He has
wonderful voice and sings with ex-
preston and easy and pleasing gest-
ures. He gave the selections "Dp
Dist vie cine Blume," Ais die Alte

Miss Anderson followed with "Ele-

with enthusiasm
Mr.. Brines made his greatest hit
