asthma, hay fever, Group, coughs and

"a bad case of catarrh was cured for
me by the use Of Hyomei. The trouble
affected my head, nose and eyes and
was very annoying and disagreeable,
and the cure, from the use of Hyomei
was very gratifying. Hyomei has from
me a strong recommend and endorse
ment. Mrs. E. Karberg, 213 Kingsley
ST., Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 16, 1908.
Thousands Of just such letters are
in existence, and thousands more

publicity.

Daughter to Get Divorce Without
Publicity.

Chicago, June 21.-Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth-"Dolly Logan"-Tucker will en-
ter the courtroom Of Judge Albert c.
Barnes in the Superior court some day
this week, obtain a decree of divorce
from her husband, Colonel William F.
Tucker, U. S. A. retired, on grounds
of desertion, and leave with a fortune
of $4,000 in her own right. In ac-
cepting this she will forever free her
husband from further payments of all
mony. She will also be paid approx
imately $4,000 for the expenses incur
red by her in bringing her suit.
Respect for the memory of the late
General John A. Logan will keep his
daughter and her husband from airing
their domestic difficulties in open
court. Colonel Tucker will not contest
his wife's application for the decree if
it is sought solely upon the ground Of
desertion.
Mrs. John A. Logan, prominent So
ciety leader and widow of the late war
general, it is understood, has been in
strumental in effecting this settlement
of the difficulties existing between har
daughter and Colonel Tucker.

PANY's PROPOSITION

Centerville, June Especial "A
proposition unanimously acceptable to
the public interurban committee of
fourteen was made by the Centerville
Light and Traction company Saturday
and the solicitation for bond subscrip-
tions began today. The line will be
built to Mystic. seven miles northwest
on the Milwaukee road, with rich coal
lands intervening. The traction COM
pany proposes to furnish the remain
der of the capital IL the local people
Will subscribe for $4,000 In bonds at
six per cent, secured by first mortgage
on the property Of the entire plant,
lighting heating and street railway.
This is an outgrowth Of several pub
lie meetings and great deal of agita-
tion for an interurban. First Calvin
Manning and associates of Ottumwa,
TOOK up the matter here, then parties
who had been associated with the Nc
Kinley syndicate an Illinois promotion.
and finally the terms proposed by the
local company were considered the
most satisfactory. Centerville has s.

BAP PTISTS WILL
reopen FIGHT
EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO GUST PROF. FOSTER AT
CHICAGO.

Chicago, June 21.-The Baptist de-
nomination in Chicago is believed 10
face today, in the purposed renewal
OF the attack upon Professor George
Burman Foster as "heretic" by Rev.
Johnston Myers and other Baptist
ministers, one of the stormiest cpl
sodes which has occurred here in
the history of the denomination.
The meeting of the Baptist minis
ters' conference last Monday, resulting
in the resignation Of Rev. Mr.. Myers
as president and chairman of the ax-
ecutive council, was productive of sen
sational passages, but it will appear,
1t was predicted yesterday as having
been a love feast in comparison with
what today's meeting of the confer
ence is expected to bring forth.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon's announced deter
mination to reopen the war upon the
University of Chicago professor re-
gardless of whether Rev. Mr.. Myers
reconsiders his determination to push
the fight, was received by some Bap-
tist ministers in manner that added
to the probability of d vitrilic meet
ing.
The appearance of Rev. A. c. Dixon
of the Moody church as another op-
ponent OF Professor Foster and some
of the utterances from pulpits, as well
as quiet murmurs from the studies Of
Baptist pastors, were some of the fac
tors pointing out what may be ex-
pected at the meeting of the confer
ence.

CALHOUN JURY
IN MEASUREMENT
PROSECUTION OF SAN FRAN
CISCO RAILWAY MAGNATE
ENDS IN MlSTRIAL.

San Francisco, June 21.-Terminat-
ing in disagreement Of the jury, with
ten men determined on acquittal and
two steadfastly resolved upon convic-
ton, the trial of President Patrick
Calhoun of the United Railroads ended
Saturday noon. Five months and week
had transpired since the wealthy street
car magnate, descendant of Patrick
Henry, made his first appearance in
court to answer to the charge of Offer
ing bribe Of $4,000 to supervisor to
obtain a privilege for his corporation.
Not until each juror had pronounc-
ed as hopeless the prospect of YER
dict was the order for their liberia
tion made by Judge Lawlor, prosecu-
ton and defense giving assent to the
discharge.
Trial Ends Quietly.
The trial ended quietly and without
demonstration. The courtroom was
well filled, but the sudden climax did
not permit Of an attendance gathered
from far and near, such as character
lied the five days of argument and the
vigil of Saturday night. The defendant
and his attorneys, as well as the chief
officers Of the prosecution, refrained
from comment upon the disagreement
when 1t was recorded and quickly de-
parted from the courtroom.
But Ave ballots were taken, three of
these shortly after the jury retired.
Upon the first vote the jury stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction Two of the four joined the
majority upon the second ballot, and
one of the remaining two announced
his determination to remain out
month If necessary.
Judge Lawlor announced that he had
ascertained before coming. to court,
that the jury appeared to be hope
lessly divided. After ordering the dis
charge of the jury, Judge Lawlor drew
his chair to the edge Of the platform
nearest the jury box and addressed to
the twelve men some informal re-
marks, criticising the laws and usages
that made possible the expense Of
three months In the impaneling Of a
Jury, and thanking them upon their
worth as citizens He declared the
courts we're utterly helpless to prevent
such occurrences and recommended
that the Legislature be influenced by
the people to change the laws that
governed court procedure.
The attorneys will be expected to
fix a date for another trial upon the
same indictment at today's session of
court
