 citing portrayal but is delightfully."-
 original. Then there is a drama from
 real life, not the staging of a play
 for the purpose of taking the pictures
 but a real life tragedy entitled "The
 Vagabond" However the program is not entirely given over to the stirring of the sentimental side of life but there is the splendid sparkling little laugh you will be tempted tonight you will be sorely tempted tonight when you see Jimmie. He makes people laugh whether they want to or not. The intensely dramatic pro- duction is Lost" Possibly you have never experienced the sensation accompanying the thought of being lost but you will be privileged of seeing correct portrayal this even ing. However, while you are think ing of the sensations which might be produced by being lost you will also be interested in knowing or rather in re-knowing how it is to be at the circus. Of course you won't enjoy a circus, but you can at least rejoice with links who will visit the saw dust ring tonight for your enjoyment.

That's the Proper Way to Pronounce HYOMEI, the Famous Catarrh Remedy Made from Australian Eucalyptus and Other An
 tiSeptics-JuSt Breathe It
It BaniSheS Catarrh

Getting rid of catarrh is an easy matter if you will only use common sense method.
 Germs cause catarrh. You know that, and you also know that in order to end catarrh you must destroy the germs. Sprays and douches will not kill the germs. Liquid cannot pene- trate into the folds and crevices of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. Neither can it reach the lungs or even the tubes that lead to the lungs.
 In every HYOMEI outfit, which is sold by druggists everywhere, there is a bottle of antiseptic liquid that will kill catarrh germs.
 Pour few drops of this liquid into the little hard rubber inhaler which comes with the outfit and breathe this now antiseptic vaporized air over the membrane of the nose and throat infested with catarrh germs.
 It's pleasant, soothing and healing, is this vaporized air. and it is really the only remedy known that can reach and destroy catarrh germs and end the misery and humiliation that catarrh causes. Complete outfit $l.00. Extra bottles of HYOMEI if needed cost 90 cents. Druggists everywhere sell HYOMEI. It is guaranteed not to contain cocaine, opium or other habit forming drugs.
 Lovett Drug Co. guarantees it.

PRESCOTT AND NORTH HAVE
 UNPRECEDENTED SNOWFALL
Most Severe Storm of Winter Is Raging; Unusual Weather Con-
 dItions at Home.

The memory of the oldest inhabi- tant is utterly flabbergasted and when an old inhabitants memory goes back on him it is certain that there is something radically out of tune with the weather
 It was downright cold yesterday and last night, and the records show marked deficiency in temperature from normal for the month During the afternoon dust storm blew out of the south followed at six o'clock by rain.
 The local conditions are caused by north where spring seems to have mixed her dates and left to keep a tryst with old man Winter.
 A special dispatch from Prescott last night said that the most severe storm of the winter was raging at that place. Snow has been falling for twenty -four hours, and shows no signs of abatement. The dispatch said that there are three inches of the "beautifuI' in the city and n foot of it in the mountains.
 This condition at this season of the year cannot, in the nature of things last for very long, although not much relief is promised for to- day.
 The storm will have one good re- suit in that it will furnish a new source of supply for the Roosevelt reservoir and as a result of the heavy snowfall in the north and the rains closer home several thousand acre feet will be added to the stored wa ter supply, which has already broken all existing records
