B. c., to look into the murder of his
father, g. W. Coleman, returned

One member of the party took a sort

WORM TURNS
MAIL ORDER HOUSE Is IN
DICTED IN COURT
Big Chicago House Up Against
q. S. Grand Jury for Making
Unsubstantiated Claims
In Letters.

The Tribune has often urged the
people of this locality to patronize
their home merchants as against the
mail order houses of the east. for the
reason that they will get a better
deal every time from the people
with whom they are personally ac-
quainted. So long as we have been
able to present nothing but general
ities in the matter, it is probable
that the talk has had but little
effect. Now, however, there seems
to be something little more tangi-
Bile, a. the Sears, Roebuck company
of Chicago has been indicted by the
United States grand jury at Des
Moines, Iowa, for the use of the
United States mails for alleged
fraudulent purposes.
There are three counts against the
company upon which the jury has
found true bills. Tho first Of these
is based upon the following letter:
"Dr. G. F. Spring,
23l Utica Building,
Des Moines, la.
Dear Sir:-All of our paints con-
tain white lead. Our paints are
made in our own great paint factory
under the supervision OF tine finest Of
paint experts. Our paints give such
universal satisfaction that ~ ars
able to plAcss them over our poat
'Iitsfai guarantees, which yet are
doubtless familiar with
About this letter the indictment
says, that the paint was not of the
highest grade and was not equal to
any ready made paint on the market
regardless of price, and that the
paint did not contain white lead and
was not made in the company's own
factory, and was in fact an inferior
grade of paint.
Another count upon which the
same company was indicted was for
selling a ring to man by the name
of r. H. Mills. upon the claim that
the ring contained four pearls and
four sapphires, when it contained
neither, and was very inferior
grade of article.
Another count was for selling an.
other ring to the same man upon
representation sent through the
mails that the ring contained twelve
pearls and two rubies. when it con-
tanned neither of these stones.
Those are just three cases upon
which somebody has had the nerve
to jack up mail order house. Reg
ular merchants have been sure that
few If any OF the goods sent out by
these houses are what they are repre-
sented to be, and yet it is hard to
make customers believe this The
fact Of the matter is that you can
buy goods just as cheap at the store
of your home merchant as you can
from the mail order houses, when
you consider the freight and other
expenses. and then you have the ad-
vantage OF being able to exchange
your goods or getting your money
back II the goods are not to your !ik-
ing That is something you never
will be able co do with q mail order
house.

SAYS 1T is FACT.
Bowditch, Webster E. Co. Confirm
Guarantee on Hyomei, Cure for
Catarrh.

The question having been raised as
to whether or no Bowditch, Webster &
Co. will refund the money if Hyomei
outfit does not do all that is claimed
for 1t in curing catarrh, they want to
state positively that this guarantee il
an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the
curative powers Of Hyomei in all
catarrhal troubles. You do not risk a
cent in testing it's healing virtues,
Bowditch, Webster & Co, take all the
risk.
If you have catarrh, try this
wonderful medcated air Of Hyomei.
1t does not drug or derange the stom-
ach, but is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, so that its medication reaches
the most remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs, where any catarrhal
germs may be lurking. 1t quickly
destroys them, heals and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane and vital
ICES the tissues so that catarrh is no
longer possible. You can lose nothing
by giving Hyomei a trial, nothing but
the catarrh and that is good radiance
The price of the complete outfit is
but 800; nothing if it fails to cure
Get an outfit from Bowditch, Webster
& Co, today and begin its use at once

Charm the Fat Away.

To reduce by means of exercise or
dieting is nothing but torture to the
flesh and modification to the spirit. 1t
is so much simpler to charm" it
away. OF course. 1 don't mean by

the occasional use of this home recipe
viz: II ounce Marmola, y ounce Fluid
Extract Cascara Aromatic and 81
ounces Syrup Simplex, which any one
can obtain at any drug store for a
small sum and mix at home. Take a
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time. 1t literally charms the fat away.
Takes it off just where you need it off
and does it quickly but harmlessly.
Many persons lose as much as pound
