' The first day's use of Ilyomei will show by its exhilarating and vitaliz ing effects, that it is doing good. Use .it for a full month entirely at J. H. Hill & Son's risk. If, at the end of thirty days, you can say that Hyo mei has not helped you,r they will return your money without question or argument. The complete Hyomei treatment costs but one dollar, and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the pec' t or purse, a medicine dropper, an :i ! tie of Hyomei. The inhaler i t i a lifetime, and if one bottle d s n r ' iirp, extra bottles can be obtained fo fifty cents. If is the mc: st t-con-Mnii 1 of all remedies ad- ver ertisf d for t:ie cure of catarrh, and the only oue where you can obtain a month's treatment from your local druggi&t that costs nothing if it fails to cure.

Rule Issued Yesterday by Judge Purnell in Federal Court--Alleged Contempt Grows Out of Editorial. Raleigh Post. The feature of the day in the dia trict Federal court yesterday was the issuance of a rule by Judge Pur nell against Josephus Daniels, tho editor of the News and Observer, to show cause why he should not be attached for contempt of court. Judge Purneil's statement from the bench snon after court met yes terday morning that he had issued such a rule was the most sensational incident witnessed in court here in recent years, and has been the gen eral topic for discussion among the citizens and visitors since it became known. And the news spread rap idly. It was telegraphed over the State and people arriving on the af ternoon trains asked eagerly of by standers about the depot what the latest developments were. It was like an electric shock. Everybody knew about it aud talked about it. The rule was first made returnable at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but Judge Purnell later changed the or der and made it returnable at 10 o'clock this morning, as yesterday was a national holiday and he do sired to adjourn court at 2 o'clock; for the day. The matter out of which these contempt proceedings started was contained in certain editorial re'et ence to Judge Purnell in Sunday' News and Observer regarding thv appointment of a new receiver for' the Atlantic and North Caroling Railroad. The rule was served on Mr. Dan and he at once consulted his IzW' yers, arranging for. a defense. He will appear before the court at ten o'clock this morning and will be represented by Mr. R. T. Gray, reg ular attorneyT for The News and Ob server, and associated with him will be Messrs. Busbee & Busbee, of Ra leigh, Judge R. W. Winston, of Durham, Mr. F. A. Woodard, of Wilson, Judge T. B. Womack and Messrs. J. N. Holding and Walter L. Watson, of Raleigh. A liig Fire. New York, May 80. The river front of Hoboken to-day presents a smoking mass of ruins. For twelve blocks of smouldering piles, piers and barges offer a dumb testimony to the flames that yesterday destroy ed five million dollars worth of property. Letter to Orphan Home. Goldsboro, N. C. Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate of the late Congressman Scott, of Erie, Pa., painted 24 Rolling-Mill houses one coat Devoe at a saving of 11 pur cent, for paint (lead-and-oil was after the job). That's how the tale reads. We in fer what really happened. The buyer, a3 usual, went by the cost of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil bid low and guessed the quantity low; the saving was only 11 per cent. Nobody seems to have thought of this: the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint. How much did we save on the painting? Don't know. The tale ends with this. We often refer inquiries to those houses, for wear of Devoe. That's a good-enough story; but nobody knows what it is. Our only difficulty is want of paint-intelli- gence. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe &Co. P. S. Smith & Yelverton sell our, paint. 4 r f - t i - 5 " . l it " l t
