some Catarrh Germs.

Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath Will
be foul, and you will hawk and spit

things because you can't help your
self The germs of catarrh have got
YOU in their power; they are contin-

your nose and throat. They are now
making your life miserable; in time
they will sap your entire system of

vitality.
II You do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh, they desperate as
saults will in time undermine your
reason. rob your brain of its briIllancy
and activity, and leave you. not only
n physioal but mental wreck.
This picture is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands of just
such cases. He has personally ex-
perlenced the demorallzing results
that come from the ravishing attacks
of the horrible catarrh germs, the
greatest pest of civilized nations.
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cures catarrh, ana
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry

remedies, but they are not guaranteed
as Tallman & Goa the druggists, will
guarantee Hyomei to cure catrrh, or

varsity team gives promise of suffi-
cient strength 1t will be sent to the
Chicago conference meet next spring

tin are excellent.
The athletic association is run on a
better basis this year than formerly

John f. Lathrop, well known In
this city writes the following very
Interesting letter to the Portland
Journal:
a crushing. frank, angry letter was
sent to James b. Forgan, president OF
the First National bank Of Chicago,
who gave an interview to the Record
Herald saying that Bryan's election
would stagnate business. The letter
was written by a deposltor of Mr..
Forgans bank, who intlmates that he
dare not sign his name lest irrepara-
bic injury come to him from Mr. For
gan's anger. The letter reads:
Dear Sir; You are quoted in this
mornings Record-H Herald as assert

How About Forgan?

What did Mr.. Bryan do last fall,

conditions, or did he write and speak
warmly to reassure the people who
follow him politically?
"I'll tell you what he did. He ex-

SAYS HIS LAWYERS
SKINNED HIM

1t now appears that the case of
Fred T. Sowdey against the Spo-
kane Falls & Northern Railway
company which was settled five
years ago is not entirely closed. so
far as the plaintiff and his attor-
neys, Barnes & Latimer, are con-
cerned. The original case was set
tied out of court, Sowdey receiving
$4,000 to drop his claim.
A complaint was filed today by
Sowdey against the attorneys who
championed his cause against the
corporation, stating that during the
past 10 days he has learned that
$500 was the offer of settlement,
$1,000 having been fraudulently
withheld by Barnes G. Latimer. To
accomplish this end, the complaint
reads, checks for two different
amounts were secured by Attorney
A. e. Barnes from the railroad COM
pany. One of these for $4,000, pur-
porting to be the entire amount of
settlement, was turned over to- the
plaintiff, of which he paid SO per
cent for attorneys fees. Judgment
for 81 500 is asked.

ROCKWELL TALKS

Perhaps railroad men only at
tended the Rockwell me~ting last
night out of curiosity. d. C. Cor.
bin of the Spokane International
was seated on the stage, and e. j.
Cannon Of the Northern Pacific was
down in the audience. Rockwell is
tax commissioner, and perhaps
the railroad interests were repre-
scented there to see what he would
say which would provide them with
some information as to their taxes
this year If they do not already
know.
The meeting witnessed the clos
ing campaign of T. D. Rockwell for
congress from this district. He
ended his remarks with reference
to Judge Miles Poindexter, his bit
terest opponent, who has criticized
Rockwells record with the tax COM
mission. Rockwell said the Judge
does not know what he is talking
about and his reflections have been
either the result of malice or ig-
norance, the judge can take his
choice. The judge was out of town.
Alonzo M. Murphey presided. He
stated briefly that he hadn't made
a speech since he went out of poll
tics and he wasn't going to begin
again. He introduced Charles p
Lund, Rockwell's right hand man,
who proceeded forthwith to set Mr.
Rockwell upon pinnacle of excel
lence in everything that is good
and worth emulation. Among other
things. he read from the state con-
stitution showing that a judge of
the superior or supreme bench can
not legally run for other offices
while a member of the bench, all
for Judge Poindexter's benefit.
Mr.. Rockwell declared that the
tax commission, of which he is a
member, has increased the railway
valuations from $4,000, 900 to $111,-
600. 900.
He referred to the fact that e.
w. Evanson. secretary of the hard
ware dealers association, is boost
ing Judge Poindexter's candidacy
because the Judge is against parcels
post. He said Evanson wrote him
for declaration of his position for
or against it, and he was for it. In
circular issued by the hardware
men, he declared, Judge Poindexter
is referred to as against the parcels
post, and that is why the hardware
men are working in Poindexters
interests.
