It may help some to say that in Fairbanks, Alaska, beer retails at four dollars a dozen bottles, two dozen for seven fifty. There is not a licensed saloon in Dekalb county, and towns like Auturn, Garrett, Butler and Waterloo are ‘dry” so far as public sentiment and the law can make them. Yet it is asserted that intoxicants are freely sold in these towns, and that beer bv the case and whisky are freely shipped to private consumers. These packages are labeled in all sorts of misleading ways. Thus the people f Dekalb county are learning that it is one thing to make territory dry under the law and another thing to make it dry in fact.—-Indianapolis News. From the press report of the marriage ceremony between an American girl and a titled foreigner, the following is taken: "The gifts to the bride included a check from her father for SIOO,OOO to be supplemented later on, it is said, by a London .town house from her grandfather. Her mother gave her a tira of pearls and diamonds with tips of pear-shaped pearls and diamonds. The bridegroom's gifts to her were a collar, tiara and corsage ornaments of diamonds, but of those she has seen only the photographs, the originals remaining in London to greet her when she arrives there.” Our foreign brethren may not be able to detect any humor in this report, but it is “dollars to doughnuts" that the American paragraphers will have something to say about the presentation to the bride of a "photograph of jewels.” GEO.

IS THE SENSATION Considerable Excitement as to the Coming Eley Trial MEN WANT SEATS To Hear the Trial—The Absurdity of Curiosity Seekers A number of men who are included iu the bald headed class, have spoken to Mayor France for seats in the front row tomorrow evening when in his court the misconduct of Mrs. Eley and young Harry Straub will be threshed out. The promise of sensational evidence in support of the weird charge instituted against Mrs. Eley by her saintly husband, has caused a mad rush for seats and even now it is said that standing room is at a premium. It would seem that American civilized people would turn their head in shame to think that one of the citizens is charged with such a serious charge, instead of scrambling for a seat to satisfy a curiosity and thus encourage wrong doing. It is true that the daughters of Mr. Eley will, unless their minds undergo a change, submit evidence of a grave character against the morality of their mother. As eye witnesses they will relate of the intimacy of Mrs. Eley and Straub. They say Eley proposes to humiliate his wife in every conceivable manner should the court permit him. He will lay bare a life of shame to the public to satisfy a grudge subsequent to the filing of a divorce suit by his wife. Although he, himself, is not a criterion of morality, although on several occasions he has abandoned his wife and children and has been intoxicated for days at a time, he will vent his spleen by airing the lawlessness of the woman who. though deserving of punishment, is no more deserving than he. The defendants unless they have evidence as yet unknown, bid fair to receive a severe sentence and Joe wll be tickled in his shoes.

IT IS NO ONE’S BUSINESS No Right to Inquire Into What the President Does. Washington, Jan. 27.—That the senate has no right to call upon President Roosevelt for information which he may have obtained from the United States Steel corporation when he countenanced that concern’s absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, is the opinion of the special committee en judiciary, appointed to investigate the merger. The situation is proving decidedly embarrassing to the judiciary committe, but, regardless of this fact, it has been decided to proceed with the inquiry and report to the senate whether the president had authority to permit the merger.

WHEEZER OR SNEEZER? Have You Heard of Hyomei for Catarrh, Ashma and Hay Fever? If you wheeze or sneeze, hawk or spit, snuffle or blow, something is the matter with the membrance of your respiratory tract, tfna you need Hyomei. And you need Hyomei because it will cure you of any catarrhal or inflammatory condition that exists. It isn't a stomach medicine, or spray, or douche, but a very pleasant, healing, antiseptic balsam, from the eucalyptus forests of Australia. You breathe this balsamci air through a small, hard rubber inhaler, and it reaches every nook, corner and crevice of the membrane, and promptly kills the catarrh germs. Holthouse Drug Co. will sell you a complete Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) outfit for SI.OO, on the moneyback plan. "The use of Hyomei cured Mr. Cutler of catarrh in 1904. He has strongly endorsed the use of Hyomei in many instances, and we are glad to go on record regarding this marvelous catarrh cure, and endorsing its use.” —Mrs. A. Cutler, 201 Post Ave., Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 12, 1908. •

THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION. Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor’s first question when consulted by a patient is. "are your bowels regular?” He knows that ninety-eight per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with noxious gases and waste material which naturally accumulates and which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole .system, and at best only produces -temporary relief. The repeated nse of such treatments cause chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, hardens their tissues. deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has fatal results. We have a positive, pleasant and si fe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser's money in every case when it fails to produce entire satisfaction This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk. Rexall Orderlies are/very pleasant to take, they act quietly and have a soothing, strengthening, healing m-

fluence on the entire intestinal tract. They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, excessive loseness, diarrhoea or other annoying effect, and they may be taken at any time without any inconvenience. Rexall Orderlies overcome the drugging habit and cure constipation and all similar ailments, whether acute or chronic. They are especially good
