CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
only Way to Cure This Disease IL to
Destroy Its Cause.

II you have cattarrh and want to
get rid of 1t you must kill the germs

ointments. sprays. creams, douches.
etc, fall because they overlook this
TACT. They all help by giving tenn
porary relief but they do not reach
the germ life that has found lodge
ment In your head, nose. throat, and
could destroy it If they did.
The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs Of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease it.
self, is to breathe into the air passages
OF your nose and throat the pleasant,
penetrating air of Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me). Hyomei is made
from purest oil of Eucalyptus COM
b1ned with other powerful, healing, an.
t1septic and germicidal ingredients.
You breath It through little pocket
inhaler which Wilkinson & Co., and
other leading druggists in Keokuk and
vicinity are furnishing with every
complete treatment sold. Every time
you tnhale the sweet, fragrant air OF
Hyomet through this little device you
are drawing into your swollen, in
famed, germ laden membranes a
indicated air which will not only re-
duce all the swelling and inflan1nna-
ton and open your clogged nose and
stopped-up air passages, but will alb
solutely and positively destroy every
trace Of Catarrh germ life it reaches.
Druggists are so sure Of the blessed,
lasting relief that Hyomei brings to
Catarrl1 sufferers that they sell is in
variably on the positive guarantee
that money paid will be refunded If
successful results are not secured
from its use. Get a Hyomei outfit
from your druggist today and begin al

tiful wife. 1t is said, at least, ne
thought she was beautiful. and seemed
to have regarded her with moro than
love, with an affection that was akin
to sacred devotion. His attachment
to her was born Of that real spirit OF
civilization which leads to action; 1t
kindled a spirit OF sentiment in the
bosom OF this primitive man OF the
forest, untutored and uncultured, and
he was not willing to leave all OF the
drudgery and toll for his wife to per-
form. It may have been regarded as
a hopeless case OF reformation in an
Indian tribe, but this swarthy chief

A SAVAGE REFoRMER.
rRx Richard p p Wood

By Richard B. B. Wood.l
A writer has said that "the first
Indication OF civilization is the grow
ing tendency to accord to women bet
ter treatment in the recognition OF
their rights and privileges" If this
be SO, T have often thought that prob
ably the germ of civilization was in
Iowa soil, and possibly. was not plant
ed here exclusively by the pale face
poss essors Of the soil.
We have been taught that the In
dams we found occupying these prair-
les and bluffs, with fringe of wood
land. here and there, were heartless
savages, bearing no sign OF civilized
manhood, engaged in the cruel art OF
war, too proud to give thought OF
turning hand to manual labor, leav-
ing that work to the females Of the
species, whom they considered the
natural "hewers of wood and drawers
of water" Might we not judge them
too hastily? or at least some of them
Have you ever heard the story Of
the Knightly Kishkekosh? the valiant
Fox chief, "the man with one Leg as
we are told his name signifies. He
was a daring warrior and won his
fame and lonors in battle with the
Sioux. He was finished orator, as
oil famous and successful Indians
were, according to tradition and his
tory. His village was located at one
time on Skunk river in Jasper county
He was savage reformer. His effort
was reform in his tribe by changing

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such q
risk to send 10 cents for o sample
package of ~Anuric "-the latest dis
covery of DR.. Pierce. Also send .
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DIR. PIERCE Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,

MOVING CAPITAL
TO DES MONIES
Safes Seemed to Furnish Biggest
Problems to Those Engaged
in Moving State House.

The following interesting account
of the removal Of the records of the
various state offices from Iowa City
to Des Moines in the winter of 1887
is to be found in the January num-
Der Of THE Iowa Journal of History
and Politics. published by the State
Historical society of Iowa.
"The removal of the state offices
and the archives belonging to the
state was matter Of no ordinary I'M
dertaking There were no railroads
in the state, and the public highways
were but dimly outlined in our wide
extended prairies. Skunk river had
to be crossed to reach Des Moines.
This stream had bad reputation that
extended from Maine to California as
to its habit of spreading itself. Sew
eral of the small streams had no
bridges. The citizens and teamsters
of Des MONIES. however, solved the
problem by sending men and teams
from Des Moines to assist In the re-
moval.

consisting of one each for the secre-
tary of state, the treasurer Of state.
the auditor Of state, and the super
intendent of public instruction, was
let to DR.. Jesse Bowen Of Iowa City,
who delivered them safely in the new
capitol after many days of hard and
tedious work. The state treasurer's

heavy. During the journey it was
