Cures Catarrh
"Hyomel the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered," Saya
Sherman & McConnell Drug Co.
Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; It cannot be cured
In that manner. The only way in which
thla too common dlaeaae can be cured la
througrh a direct application that will kill
the bacilli of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Hyomel in the only known, method of
treatment that accomplishes thla. It la the
almpleit, moat pleasant, and the only ab
aolute cure for catarrh that haa ever been
discovered.
Thousand of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the moat promi
nent men and women In the country who
have been cured by thla remarkable rem
edy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent phystclana have given strong tes
timonials as to the remarkable power of
Hyomel to cure catarrh. -

Major Breaaaa's t'oadact.
The statement of the ennaressmnn from
W'yomlng that the trouble was the result
of bad management of the agency affairs, i
nnos no Justification among reasonable
people familiar with the conditions and
circumstances. Agent Brennan, In Issuing
passes to these Indians to go off the
reservation, violated neither law nor prece
dent, nor did he commit an error pf judg
ment. The practice of Issuing passes to
limited parties of Indians to leave the
reservation prevails at all aaenclea and
finds warrant In the regulations prescribed
by the government for the conduct of In
dian affairs. It Is not true, as was ststed
In several papers, that these Indians were
absent from the reservation for the pur-
rose of hunting, nor Is there any evidence
hat they were hunting in violation of the
laws of Wyoming. The fact la that they
were simply traveling through the state
m the same manner that hundreds of the
Wyoming and Montana Indians every year
come Into South Dakota to camp In the
Black Hills and to visit friends on the
various reservations. Such parties are al
lowed to roam unmolested through the
state and are always accorded courteous
and kind treatment.
The Indians msklng up this party have
always borne a good reputation At home.
They have at all times been friendly and
peaceable and have never shown any dls-
Sosltlon to be troublesome. It will be dlf
cult Indeed for those who know them to
believe that the Indisns were wholly In the
wrong. It Is the opinion of many that they
would never have refused to submit to
arrest had the matter been properly ex
plained to then

PLATTSMOUTH. Neb.. Dec. J.-(Speclal.)
In district court In the case of Hugh
Murphy against the City of Plattsmouth,
in which the plaintiff asked the defendant
to pay him the sum of 8530 as a balance due
for paving done on Sixth street, the Jury
brought in a verdict for plaintiff for the
sum of $381.42, with Interest at 7 per cent
from June 12, 1898. to November 9, 1900. In
the case of A. N. Sullivan against Gertrude.

Jury allowed him the sum of $67.10. Harry
