SOMETHING SHOULD Be Done.
What Is Causing The Increasing Of Ca.
taffh In Great Bend.

In spite Of the best efforts Of medi |
cal men, catarrhal troubles are increas
ing not only in Great Bend, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing or
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is irri-
tated and raw and the tissues weaken.
ed, there is an ideal lodging place for
catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei and
see how quickly it soothes the men,
branes, vItalizes the tissues and de-
sIoYs all the disease germs. rendering
catarh no longer possible.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablets or liquid mixtures destroying
digestion.
Breathed through the aneat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate
to the most remote air cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, destroying the
catarrhal germs so that quick recov
cry follows.
Hooper Drug Co. agree to refunt
the money to any purchaser Of Hyo
mel who does not find that it does al
that is claimed for it. The complete
outfit costs but S1.0O.

The Hague.-The fourth committee,
Geneva convention, met June 25th in
the Hall of Knights behind closed
doors. General Horace Porter, l.. M.
Rose, David ]. Hill, Brigadier Cen
eral George B. Davis, U. s. A., Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry, William I.
Buchanan, and James Brown Scott
were present
The president of the fourth commit
tee, Professor De Martens, summarized
the work accomplished by the conven-
tion of 1899 and the fields to be cov-
cred.
Lord Reay and Sir Ernest Satow
presented a proposition on the subject
of neutral prizes, reserved the right to
present another proposition for the
definition of what constitutes war
ship and presented a statement on con-
traband of war
The American delegation has not yet
given out the definite draft of it's propo-
sition for the collection of contractual
debts. This is causing some uneasi-
ness among the South American coun-
tries, and especially after the publica-
| tion this evening of the minutes of the
| sitting Of June 18th, from which it ap-
pears that General Porter, in announc-
1.-THE United States will present
proposition for concluding an agree
ment. in which it will introduce some
limitations in using force for the col
lection of contractual. public and ordi-
nary debts. The feeling among GER
tain South American people is that the
words some limitations show that it
is the intention OF the United States
to so reduce the Drago doctrine as to
deprive it of it's original character,
thereby destroying the purpose for
which it was neutrality-suspicious.
against Illicit European interference.
General Porter, on the other hand, ap-
pears to be satisfied with the work ac-
complished and is confident of the sup
port of the European and South Ameri-
can countries in this matter.
The American proposition relating
to the private property of belligerents
at sea, presented this afternoon by Jo-
seph H. Choate. establishes this as in
violable, with the exception of contra
band, but "inviolable' does not extend
to. private property trying to run a
blockade
The British proposition on this sub
ject of neutral prizes establishes that
prizes must not be destroyed unless
deemed absolute necessity. The Brit
ish statement with reference to contra
band reads as though Great Britain,
which heretofore has held that the
flag covers contraband. now only re-
serves the right to visit the ships to
ascertain whether or not the merchan-
disc carried is contraband.

tended by Judge Garrigues, who ad-
journed court and proceeded with Dis
trict Attorney G. H. Van Horn and

A description of each machine was
taken by the district clerk and court
steEographer, and the money counted

court. AS much as $6S in nickels and
quarters was taken from single ma
chine, and the total collection was
nearly $400.

THE REoRGANiZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers CO
the company, the Board has adhered
TO the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
If life insurance. he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
Itep up to his present position.
The first vice president of the csm-
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
lion.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the companys
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll.
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
dents, and will continue at the head
of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years. ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
lctuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no IN
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had 100000, 900 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$50. 100000 a year (Which is about
pne-half the New York Life formerly
did. the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds 81, 900, 900. 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
lurther reassured by this action of the
Board. as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

They Used Liquid Air.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Lieutenant Helm.
rich Won Bargay, Austrian naval ex-
pert, visiting here, declares he has
solved the mystery of the Japanese
victory over the Russians. The Aus
trian officer made a careful investiga-
tion of the effect of the Japanese shells
upon the entertainments and sarmored
shipping, and his conclusions are start
ling
Japan used liquid air instead of cord
ite, melinite, dynamite or other explo
sives ordinarily used for charging ar
mor-piercing projectiles." said Won Bar
gay. 81 have plenty of circumstances
that show my conclusions more than
probable.
"In the first place it was noted dur
ing the late war that the holes, rent
and tears inflicted by the Japanese
shell were irregular in shape
and many times as large as
those produced by ordinary
shells. 1t was also noted that no
trace of the body of the shell could be
found after it had exploded. that no
Russian sailors were struck with bits
of exploding projectiles, that those who
were killed by shell fire were killed by
the force of the explosion and not by
fragments of steel. and that the explo-
sive forces exerted by the shells were
vastly greater than ever before known
81 learned that Herman Berg. an in
ventor and constructing chemist, who
formerly lived in New York, had been
employed by the Japanese two years
before the outbreak of the war to go
to Japan and take charge of the ord
nance laboratory of the nation. Berg
disappeared from New York mysteri-
ously. keeping his destination recret.
and have since learned that 1t was he
who invented the liquid air shells for
the Japanese"
Won Bargay says he has made expert
emnts with liquid air shells that bear
out his statements.

Big Ranch Sold for 100000.

The Excelsior ranch. consisting O.
$4,000 acres. in the San Luis valley.
has just been purchased by A. c. Hahn
of South Dakota for 100000. He will
bring settlers from the East to take
up the property.
Mr.. Hahn has also purchased from
the Alamosa Reservoir Company 1000
feet of water from the Commonwealth
ditch. This will supplement the water
rights which already belong to the Ex
celsior ranch. The land lies twelve
miles south of Alamosa and eight
miles east and little north OF La
lara.
All Of the land In the Uncompahgre
valley under the Gunnison tunnel. has
been taken up. In all there is 10000
acres of government land. and 10000
acres owned by individuals which will
be watered by means of the Gunnison
tunnel. The Denver & Rio Grande rail.
way. which has been advertising the
Uncompahgre valley, is now changing
its literature so that nothing will be
said about the government land under
the Gunnison tunnel project.
