EDITORIAL riENTION.
War rumors have good news but
bad prophecy.
To Dowie the only good in the
oyster is the pearl.
In Alaska the Hag will stay put
all along the line.
The girls now explain that they
caught their freckles from the sun
spots.
Neither Gorman nor Hearst ever
talk about their candidate for
president.
Canada is annoyed at the loss
of territory and also to think that
England decided against her.
Dowie's abuse seems tame to
New Yorkers who attend the poli
tical meetings during the municipal
campaign.
Many of Senator Hanna's friends
believe that it would be more dig
nified for him to ignore Bryan, as
Cleveland does.
The triumvirate of notoriety
friends, Parkhurst, Dowie, and
Carrie Nation are quarreling in
New York City,
In spite of his lengthy speeches
Senator Morgan thinks he has a
right to complain of the delay in
the canal negotiations.
Canada brul about the same in
fluence in the Alaska Boundary
decision as China has in the dis
position of Manchuria.
It is not a lack of applicants
embarrasses Speaker-to-be Cannon
in selecting the chairman for the
different House Committees.
President Roosevelt is going
home to Oyster Bay to vote. The
territorial delegate from Hawaii
will not follow this good example.
The trusts feel at home in New-
Jersey, assassins believe themselves
safe in South Carolina and lynchers
enjoy the climate of Delaware, and
of the United States for that matter.
Like the democrats the delegates
irom the District of Columbia will
have more fun at the National
Conventions, than at the presi
dential elections. The citizens of
the District can't vote and the
democrats can't elect.
A Perfect Painless Pin.
Ia the one that will cleanse the system,
set the liver to action, remove the bile,
clear the constipation, cure headache and
leave a good taste in the mouth. The
famous little pills for doing such work
pleasantly and effectually are DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, Bob Moore of Lafa
yette, Ind., says: "All other pills I have
used gripe and sicken, while DeWitt's
Little Early Risers ure simply perfect."

Prosperity \V iil Continue.
Comptroller Ridgely, us lie im
formed the bankers in convention
in Ban Francisco, sees nothing in
the financial situation to effect the
continued prosperity of the nation.
He thinks that the course of busi
ness very largely depends upon the
bankers. If they pursue a wise
and conservative course there will
be no trouble. Some few banks
and trust companys, which have
been engaged heavilv in specula
tive enterprises, have gone under,
and there may be other such insti
tutions which will suffer in the
same way. But that is not in any
sense a reflection of the business
situation, says Philadelphia Press.
A Baltimore trust company, for
instance, loaned more than its en
tire capital and deposits to a rail
road company building a line in
Mexico. The action of Congress
in declining to construct a canal
across the isthmus had an adverse
influence on the projected railroad,
and this led ultimately to the fail
ure of the trust company. But
that had no relation to the business
situation in the United States. It
was pure speculation, and a bank
or trust company taking such ex
traordinary risks in a foreign
country might be expected togo
into bankruptcy sooner or later.
The shipbuilding trust was an
other illustration of reckless and
foolish speculation. The failure of
that concern, no matter how great
the prosperity of the nation, could
not well have been avoided. It
was organized apparently to afford
opportunity for some persons to
make unwarranted profits and then
to get out of the business. But it
did not hold together hardly long
enough for that purpose. The
failures the public hears about are
nearly all of that kind. Legiti
mate enterprises and overcapital
ized and honestly conducted are
prosperous now, as they have been
heretofore. But the corporations
with inflated capital suffer more or
less, as might have been expected.
The postal receipts of the country
show an increase, which is a good
test. The railroads are doing a
large business, and while the effect
of squeezing the water out of the
speculative enterprises is somewhat
depressing it is not effecting gen
eral business to any great extent
and will soon be lost in view, lie
publican success at the polls in
November will be a great influence
in assuring the people that there is
to be no radical legislation and
nothing to retard the prosperity
which the country has been enjoy
for years.
MRS. BURDICK WINS.
Surrogate Gives Her the Trusteeship
of Her Children's Estate.
Buffalo, Oct. 28.—Surrogate Marcus
has handed down a decision in which
he awards to Mrs. Alice Hull Burdick
the care of the property loft to her
children as well as custody of their
persons. The decree awarding her
personal custody of the children was
made some months ago. At that time
the contest made by Mrs. Burdick
against the fourth section of her mur
dered husband's will was tried out and
decision was reserved. Edwin L. Bur
dick's will. In an attempt to deprive
his wife of the care of their three
children and their estates, was drawn
n« follows:
"Fourth —I nominate and appoint
Charles S. Parks and Riael&y Tucker
to be the guardians of the persons of
my three children, and August B. Kel
logg, Georgo H. Dunston and George
C. MHler to bo Joint guardians of the
estates of each of my three children,
and I direct that all funds and socuri
ties belonging to each of my children,
shall be received, held and paid out
by them Jointly as such guardians."
The argument of the executors of
the will was that Burdick intended to
create a trusteeship to hold his chil
dren's property. Surrogate Marcus
hogds that If that was the'lntent the
language Is not clear enough. The
surrogate's decision means as soon as
the executors have closed their man
agement of the estate they must turn
it over to Mrs. Burdick. She wild be
guardian of the persons and proper
ties of her three children.
The estate left to the children Is
valued at about SOO,OOO. It is probable
suit will be started in their names
soon to have deeded back to the es
tate several pieces of real property
Mr. Burdick deeded shortly before his
death to friends, with instructions to
hold the property for his children.

CURES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for Catarrh
EverDlscovered," says L. Taggart.
Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way in
which this two common disease can be
cured is through a direct application that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre
vent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method ot
treatment that accomplishes this. It is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most promi
nent men and women in the country who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have given strong
testimonials as to the remarkable powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
SI.OO, consisting of an inhaler, dropper
and suflicieut Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordin
ary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated
cases of catarrh, longer use may be neces
sary, and then extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for 50c. It is not alone
the best (it might be called the only)
method of curing catarrh, but it is also
the most economical.
L. Taggart had so much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that he will for a limited time, sell this
medicine under his personal guarantee to
refund the money if the purchasers can
say that it did not help them.
