Reader, this is one of thousands Of
testimonials praising the marvellous
curative power of Hyomei. If you
are a sufferer, why not try it? the
Laramie Drug company guarantees it,
and will refund your money if it fails
to cure. Hyomei is not a stomach nos
trum; it is dry anticeptic and medical
ed air, and all you have to do to cure
any disease of the nose, throat or
lungs, is to breathe it in through the
Hyomei inhaler. A Hyomei outfit, in

treatment is only so cents a bottle.

A PROSPEROUS SUMMER

to submit estimates for 100000 barrels
of cement, amounting to nearly a thou
sand carloads, which will be used there
this summer. Mr.. Bradford says Wyo.
ming is going to have fully as good
building year as last, although it may
be slower in starting. At Rawlins, Mr.,
Bradford found that a new Elks hall

The Men Who Risk All.

Once upon n time-namely, in
March, 19O8-a man was sentenced to
serve five years in a Federal peniten.
tiary. The man began life as a poor
boy, with no n to help him and with
very little formal education. AS a boy
he worked hard in a humble occupa.
ton. By his great energy, industry
and ability he built himself up bit by
bit, year by year, until he became one
of the richest and most powerful men
in the large city where he lived.
Among men of affairs no ones judg
ment carried greater weight.
At threescore years, in enjoyment
Of success as solid as the granite walls

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

AS to the presidential campaign, the
sheepmen are all anxious, but it is firm
ly settled in our minds-and every
passing day strengthens the belief
that Bryan will run on the democratic
ticket and Taft will be nominated or
the republican side. or else h party
will get into a snarl and push Roose
Cannon-all of them good men-are
not making one bit of progress out
side of their own states, and Taft
where not first, is second choice with
nearly the whole country. New York
is ostensibly for Hughes, but, as a well
known senator puts it, mo soul there
honestly wants him, and most of that
delegation will be at heart for Taft
The New England states, while un
instructed, are from one-half to nearly
the entire delegation in each case for
Taft, and so it goes owe the entire
country. A bitter fight is being made
upon Taft by the field, and there is a
lot of Misrepresentation as to his
strength. We think Taft is liable to
be nominated On the first ballot, and
almost surely on the second or third,
but. if not then, look out for an explo.
sion aud stampede for Roosevelt. in
spite Of Roosevelt himself, Indian, dew
il or saint.
The above Is not our guess after
reading some newspaper article. but is
our final conclusion to date. after long

Chicago, ILL.,. April 21.-Hiding her
sex and identity in a bitter struggle
for a livelihood, Miss Mary Phelan, 6613
State street, has worked in Chicago
as a young man for a year. She re-
vealed her identity and the announce
ment caused a profound sensation
among acquaintance she has made in
the last twelve months.
Miss Phelan, who is 81 years old,
worked for nearly a year under the
name of Jess Fay in Michael's haber.
dashery store at 1T Eighteenth street.
Her story, though astonishing, depicts
the struggles of many young women
who come to Chicago seeking a living.
Begins Life as Boy.
Miss Phelan believed that as a man
she would be able to further her
| chances for a livelihood. Discarding
her feminine attire, she CARRIED herself
in boys clothes and started out. She
went into the Michael store to buy a
shirt. Although her clothes were tat
tered. her bright, clean face attracted
the attention of the proprietor and he
offered her a position as a clerk. He
little suspected that she was a girl in
disguise. Her old clothes were ex-
changed for new ones, but she contin-
ued to prefer masculine dress, and
soon won encomiums about the store
for her natty appearance.
When she applied for work Miss Phe-
Ian gave her name as Jess Fay. She
told the storekeeper that she had run
away from home in Cheyenne, Wyo.
He thought her story similar to that of
other young men enticed to great
cities by tales of wealth.
Days 1assed and the young woman
won many friends among the stores
customers. She even won the friend
ship of Alderman John Coughlin. it is
declared. along with many politicians
of the First ward who patronized the
store.
Wins Woman's Love.
The revelation Of the young woman
Identity came only after a young wo-
man who visited the store had exhibit
ed a fondness for Jess" This young
woman is said to be Miss Louise Pow
ers, 112 Thirty-eighth street.
Miss Powers often visited the store,
and Jess" it is said, took her to va
rious places of amusement. Finally
