DANGER OF cATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With Hyo-
mel Becomes Dangerous.


Catarrhal troubles are, far more dan
gerous than they seem at first thought.
If you have catarrh, there is an irri-
tated state of the mucous membrane,
which affords an ideal Judgment and
culture medium for disease germs, es-
pecially those of consumption.
Get cured as quickly as possible be-
fore you breathe some dangerous germs
that may lodge on the diseased tissue
and work destruction IN the throat
and lungs.
The easiest and surest way to cure
catarrh is by the direct method OF
breathing Hyomei. There is no stom-
ach drugging in this wonderful medi-
Gated air treatment. 1t kills all ca
tarrhal germs, making catarrh and
other germ infection impossible.
A complete outfit costs but s1.0o,
and the Red Cross Pharmacy agree to
refund the purchase price if Hyomei
fails to benefit.

THOMPSON ON
 TRIAL TUESDAY

The preliminary hearing of R. w. Thompson on the charge of killing E. w. Robertson will be held next Tues day morning before Judge Abernathy in the inferior court. The young mans father Is in the city, and a strong fight will be put up by the defense. The date of next Tuesday was satisfactory to both sides.
 Robertson's friends, it is said, will also put up a strong fight to convict Thompson. It is expected that the trial will divulge things which are not gen erally known the friends of Thompson stating that the public will understand the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
 There is said to be some difference in the statement of witnesses as to whether Thompson cursed Robertson or Robertson cursed Thompson as the lat ter entered the Housman pharmacy. where the killing occurred. A number of other things will also be brought out.

 When I received threats that trouble would ensue if Kentucky militiamen en- camped on our land I sent the informa- tion to Governor Wilson not as 8 pro- test but for his information The na- tional guard the regular army has a right to camp wherever it sees fit. If the Kentucky soldiers deem it wise to encamp on our lands the Illinois Central has no objection"
 When asked if he apprehended that threats of derailing trains would be car ried out should the militiamen pitch their tents on Illinois Central property. MT. Rawn was non-committal, stating, how ever, that knowledge that the threats had been made was certainly proper informa- ton for the chief execrsve of the state.

PROMINENT MEN
 PUT UNDER ARREST

New York, July 29.-Two prominent Brooklynites. Col. Edward E. Brftton president until yesterday of the Eagle Savings and Loan company of that borough, and Quarantine Commissioner Frederick H. Schroeder. second vice president until yesterday of the same institution, were arrested today after being indicted on a charge of grand larceny. They were released on 500 bail each and Friday set for their ex- animation.
 Both admit that they took approxi- mately S44,000 of the cash of the con- pany and used the money to keep the Home Stake South Extension Mining company, South Dakota concern, upon its feet. This company was organized by Britton and Schroeder. The arrest of the two bankers followed a grand jury investigation. The following statement was given out for the Eagle Savings Bank and Loan company by the superintendent of banks:
 Bank Examiner Young last week found that Joseph Wood secretary and treasurer of the company, was carrying the bank numbers of checks signed by Britton and Schroeder. Tn es,s oh ecks were for varying amounts aggyegating $47,9S6. When the examiner demanded an explanation he was told by Wood that he had been instructed by his su- perior officers not to send the checks for collection to the banks until they were drawn. But meantime he ex- plained he had paid out the company 8 money on them. Further probing showed that practically all the oh ecks in question were worthless"
 The following statement was given out by the Eagle Savings and Loan company:
 "As the surplus of the company after deducting the above amount is in ex- cess of $12o,000 the corporation is sol vent and will continue It's business as heretofore and without Interruption"
