The Question having been raised as

vii! refund the money if Hyomei
outfit does not do all that is claimed
for it in curing catarrh, they want to
state positively that this guarantee Is
an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the cura-
tive powers of Hyomei in all catarrhal
troubles. You. do not risk cent in
testing its healing virtues, Hanson &
Emerson take all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this wonder
full medicated air Of Hyomei. 1t does
not drug or derange the stomach, but
is breathed through neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, so
that its medication reaches the most
remote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, whe-e.any catarrhal germs may
be lurking.
1t quickly destroys them, heals anG
soothes the irritated mucous membrane
and vitaliZes the tissues so that catarrh
is no longer possible. You can lose
nothing by giving Hyomei trial,
nothing but the catarrh and that is a
good riddance.
The price Of the complete outfit is
but 81 90; nothing if it fails t. cuse.
Get an outfit from Hanson q Emerson

Political Platforms.

No political party held q national
convention prior to 1881 or adopted
platform Of principles prior to
1882. Before these dates nomina-
tons were made by congressional
caucuses and by the several legisla-
lures. The anti-Masonic party was
the first to hold a national conven-
ton. This was convened in Balti-
more on Sept. 26, 1881. It named
William Writ for president, but
adopted no platform. This example
was followed by the Wings, who met
in December Of the same year and
put Henry Clay in nomination, but
framed no declaration Of princi-
Piles. It was not until the Demo
cratic party met in convention, also
in Baltimore, on March %, 1882,
that the modern custom Of stating
the issues of the campaign Was in
augurated.

A CURIOUS CONTEST.
Ok Race That 10 Run Under Peculiar
Conditions.

A race that in peculiar sense ia
not to the swift is one that is run,
if the word may be used in such a
connection, every year in the pro-
vincial districts Of Germany.
Early in May during the celebra-
ton of festival that to certain
extent corresponds to the English
May day an OK race is held. The
entrance fee is small, but the con-
ditions are peculiar. Each OK must
be ridden by its owner and ridden
bareback. No whip, spur, yoke,
harness or any means of guiding
the animal is allowed. The rider
must depend entirely upon his
voice to accomplish the end he has
in view, and as the oxen do not race
on a track, but across q large open
field, the training of the animals
and the skill Of the rider are Sc
vefely tested. Speed is a secondary
consideration in this race, for the
rider who can induce his steed to 60
in a straight line is sure to win.
The start is made at one side Of a
field a mile square. the finisH Dat the
opposite side.
When the competitors ard lined
up and the signal is given the fun
begins. Despite the efforts OF the
riders the majority Of the oxen re-
fuse to head toward the opposite
mark, and as spectators are allowed
in the field and are at liberty to do
anything they wish to interfere
with the rider except touch him OF
his mount the difficulties OF the
race are not inconsiderabls.
As is well known, oxen are not q
a rule e1citable beasts. But when
they are confronted by the shouts
of the SPECTATORS and the general
hullabaloo that always ensuee at
such affairs as we'll as the exciting
efforts Of the riders to control them
they are soon reduced to q state Of
complete bewilderment. 1t often
lhappens that an hour has passed
before one of the oxen has succeed
ed in getting "under the wire"
But when once the task is 20
complished the winning rider il
| fully repaid for his pains. His OF
is surrounded by the enthusiastic
spectators and decorated with gar
lands and flowers, and the lucky
| owner receives a cash prize.-Pitts
