THOUSANDS CURED
Wonderful Success Of Hyomei in Our.
ing Catarrh, Even in Chronic Stages.

Hyomei is the most unusual rem
edy ever known for the cure of cat
arrh.
1t follows nature in her method of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs, as its healing balsams are Ia
ken In with the air you breathe, thus
reaching the most remote air cells in
the nose, throat and lungs, killing all
catarrhal germs and preventing their
growth.
Use Hyomei at the first symptoms
Of catarrh. Do not allow the disease
to extend along the delicate mucous
membrane, gradually going from the
nose to the throat, thence into the
bronchial tubes, and then onward and
downward until the lungs are reach
ed. Hyomei will cure all durable
forms and stages Of catarrh. W., l..
Gokay takes the whole risk, and offers
to refund the money for dollar out

FOR CUBA FREE.
Secretary Taft Would Withdraw
American Rule In 1900.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-As far as
he can Secretary Taft has committed
the American government to promise
to withdraw completely from Cuba in
the beginning of spring In 1909. This
pledge is contained In letter from the
war secretary to the president trans
hitting the report Of Governor Magoon
of his stewardship in Cuba during the
past year. Secretary Taft's encomiums
upon Governor Magoon In his letter
may be of peculiar significance in view
of recent revival of rumor which
was formerly in circulation to the eff
feet that the present governor OF Cuba
has been considered in connection with
the vacancy in the Office of secretary
Of war which would be created next
July in the event that Secretary Taft
receives the nomination for the presi-
dency at the hands of the national Re
publican convention. After declaring
that the interesting report from the
governor shows the conditions In Cuba
TO he very encouraging Secretary Taft
writes:
Governor -Magoon has conducted
matters in most clear headed and
tactful way and with conspicuous sue
cess. He has carried on his shoulders
the whole burden and responsibility of
an extensive government, He has had
labor troubles. which, through his con
ciliatory but impartial attitude, have
been brought to an end"
Governor Magoon in his report paints
a glowing picture of the Improvement
of conditions in Cuba during the past
year The economic situation Is said to
be excellent. foreign and domestic COM
mercc and trade have shown'a crafty
ing increase, manufactures are rapidly
expanding. and the customs receipts
for the year show an increase of ST.
3S1.5Si over the preceding year.
The Cuban people as a whole are
now lending a willing support TO the
efforts of the American medical officers
to improve the sanitation of the island.

You further say that if this
first instance is any criterion you
can expect nothing from me in

now why, my dear attorney why?
All because | won't let you do

chise the voters of Lawrence and
Sharp counties and have your

You further recall that King

reason you made it to me; for
political effect and not in earnest
after all, knowing l wanted to do
the fair thing and let all the peo-

At the very first of Mr.. Hen
derson's article he says of me,
"that his whole desire in life now
seems to be to see how often his
name and his picture can appear
in print"
No, my dear lawyer, my whole
desire in life is to represent the
Second District in the Senate,
and all during this campaign |
have confined myself to that dis
trict, Can you say so much?
Why, they tell me that your own
desire along this very line is so
great that you are spending some
Of your pile Of money to get your
picture and name in the papers
away down in Little Rock. And
if you did not intend all those
letters for political effect, why
did Won pay the Arkansas DEM
ocrat to say, $50 sure 10 Mr.
Henderson that he will be en-
dorsed by his home people that
he has written his opponent
/ agreeing to leave the matter to q
vote in Randolph county?" And
why did you add, cup to this
time no answer has been re-
ceived, when you then had my
letter in your pocket?
Now, my fellow citizens, let's
see il Mr.. Henderson is consis-
