CH0KIK6 CATARRH CURED

"Use Hyomel and be oured of catarrh,"
la what alt who have tried It for that dis
ease aay to their friends.
. It Is the easiest thins In the world to
top catarrh at It beginning if you use
Hyomei. Just breathe the health-giving,
. balsamic , 'air for a few mlnuea and 'your
catarrh will be cured. In the worst cases
of this disease, chronio or acuta, Hyomel
used four or five times a day Is all that Is
needed to soon effect a cure.
In this city and neighboring towns there
are hundreds who can testify to the re
markable powers of Hyotnei to cure ca
tarrh. Many of the staunchest friends of
thla remedy today began Its use with lit.
tie bono that they would be cured, but as
tha Sherman A McConnell Drag CoC, cor
ner Sixteenth and Dodge streets, Omaha,
offered to refund the money If It did not
cure, they decided to try It On that plan
and were, soon restored to health.

each lot had en it an eight-room house

To this request Recorder Smith yester

pared to make any emaavit as to tne
location .of the lots in question, as I have
never been within two miles' of" their lo
cation, anfl as at this season of tho year
It would be hard to get near them on ao

Work on tha Council Bluff a. Tabor
Southern Klectrlo railway Is to be com
menced this week In 'Council Bluffs was
the statement made yesterday by Arthur
T. West and H. C. Avery, secretary and
chief engineer respectively of the company.
Accompanied by M. L. Mackett, ens of ths
promoters. of tbs company, Messrs. West
and Avery came tn from Tabor yesterday
and expect to remain here until they get
the work, under way. The work of con
struction, however, will not be begun on
a large scale at present, only Just sufficient
to protect the company's franchise under
which it la obligated to begin the work of
construction on or before July L
Engineer Avery said he had not quite
determined where work would be com
menced, but thought It would probably be
on South avenue. To start with but a
few teams would be employed on grade
work. The company has not yet dis
posed of Its bonds tn the east and until
thla is accr -tied, only sufficient work
to hold the hiss will be carried out,
Mr. West salu tnat as soon a the eastern
money market settled, which would be
shortly after the national convention,
there would be no delay in disposing of
the bonds. The bonds once : disposed of
and the road financed the work of con
struction would be pushed rapidly ahead,
he said. President Dobba Is at present tn
Boston awaiting the disposition of the
bonds.
Regarding the right-of-way Engineer
Avery stated that an of It had been ac
quired except In Rawlea . township, In
Mills oounty; between Hillsdale and Tabor,
where the farmers were holding out for
exorbitant prices. Owing to the difficulty

M t0 cut out tn, towns of Olenwood
and Hillsdale and running the line direct
from Tabor to Mills station. By taking
thla latter route the company would, he
explained, , save the costly viaduct cross
ing the tracks of the Burlington
east of Olenwood, where the old and new
lines of the Burlington meet Such a
change of route, he said, would sava at
1eait jsn.000 in the cost of construction.
Regarding the reported purchase of the
City Mills property at Washington avenue
and Bryant street for Its local depot site
neither Secretary . West nor Engineer
Avery would say anything . beyond that
the deal .had not yet been consummated
and that, therefore, tt was still uncertain
where the depot would be located.

The salary of Mlas .Morris, who hud
taught In the public schools soms years
ego and was elected at the last meeting
for nex. year, was placed at $60, and to
this Mr. Cooper raised an objection last
night, contending that she ought to have
been placed on . the $41 list, and he de
manded an explanation from Mr. Tlnley.
To satisfy Mr. Cooper Mr. Tlnley prom
ised, to make a .report en this matter at
the next meeting, and the Incident closed
for the time being.

ported that tho reoeipts of the commence

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la., June 21-(8peclal.)
The first detail of Iowa college student
to work In ths barvsal fields of Kansas
left Des Moines this morning for Kansas
City. A second detail left tonight Ths
students are being sent Into the wheat
fields under the direction of E. A. Brig
ham, state labor commissioner of Iowa,
and the work la. carried forward In re
sponse tq calls sent to him by ths super
intendents of the labor bureaus at Kansas
City and Topeka. Most of the sppllcants
for the positions so far have come from
Des Moines colleges, but Commissioner
Brigham says there is scarcely a school
In the state which has not sent inquiries
concerning the plan, and it Is expected
several hundred students will put in their
summer months In ths grain fields.
.The call from Kansas has been for 20.000
men and the hsrveitlng pf the great crops
of the state will begin late this week.
The men - are paid, wages ranging from
$1.80 to $3.00 a day with board Included.
"The whole matter te more or less of
an experiment," said Mr. Brigham today.
"Its success hinges entirely on the 'ques
tion ss to whether the young men from
the schools and colleges show the energy
and courage needed to ferry forward the
work. They will find the matter Is not
a plcnlo or summer vacation.., Working In
the harvest field Is about the hardest labor
a man can run up against. The super
intendent of tha bureau at Topeka realises
this fact and has Issued a warning that
young men who come to the State must
understand the nature of the work they
will be called upon to perform. 'j '
Mr. Brigham says Iowa men have never
been found wanting in whatever field they
have gone and he does not expect they will
make other than successful . records in
Ksnsas. However, he will watch with con
siderable Interest for the reports which
will come from that state. If they are
satisfactory an organised effort will be
made early next year to send a small
army of Iowa workers there, aa the good
wages paid will tld the students in carry
ing on their courses In the colleges in a
material manner.

GAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin Humour.
Soratohed Till Blood Ran.
Wasted to Skefston.
CURED DYCUTICURA
' -
Ona Application Soothed Him to
, Sleep. Cure Speedy
vv and Permanent.
'' " When ray little boy waa aboat threw
month old his bead broke out with
rash, which was very itchy and ran con.
slderable watery fluid. We tried erery
thing we oould, bat he got worse all the
time till It spread to his arms, legs, and
than to bis entire body, and he got so
bad that he eame near dying. ' The rash
would Itch so that he would scratch till
the blood ran, aad a thla yellowish stall
would be all over his pillow In the morn
ing. 1 had to put mittens on his bands
to keep him from tearing bis akla around
his wrists. He got so weak and ran
down that be took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
"He was bad about sight months
when we tried Cutlcurs Remedies. I
bad not laid hl.n down In his cradle la
the daytime for a long time. He had
got so that be Just slept tn our arms all
tbe time. I waihed htm with Cnltcura
Soap .aod pot on one application of
Cutlcura Ointment and he was so
soothed that I put him In the Cradle,
You don't know how glad I felt when he
felt better. It took one boi of Cutlcurs
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cntl
cura Soap, end about half a bottle of
Cutlcura Resolvent, to care. I think
our little boy would have died only for
tbe Cutlcura Remedies, snd I shall al
ways remain a Arm friend of them."
