CURE IT IN ONE DAY.
Coughs and Colds Disappear Like
Magic When Hyomei is Used.
If the thousands of people who
suffer from hacking coughs and
agonizing colds would arouse them
selves sufficiently to follow this ad
vice, they would cease to complain
within 24 boors. :--.-
Here is the advice, if you take it
and yon are afterwards sorry that
you did, it won't cost you a penny.
Go to T. F. Laurin, the druggist
and purchase from him a. Hyomei
(pronounced High-o-me) outfit , It
will only cost you . $140. .. Take it
home; use it according to directions,
and if it does not cure your cough or
cold, take it back jnd T, F. Laurin
will refuod the purchase price ... ,
When you use Hyomei you don't
swallow nauseating dregs. Yon sim
ply breathe in the soothing, pleasant
and antiseptic Hyomei air, through
the little pocket inhaler that comes
with each outfit As this medicated
air passes over the inflamed parts,
relief comes almost at once, and
cure follows. "'-
Mary E. Bennett, Peru, Ind.,
writes: "I cannot speak too much
in praise of your Hyomei treatment
for catarrh. I have been using your
remedy for about two weeks, and I
have Joond more relief in that than
anything that I have ever tried. I
have spent dollar after dollar getting
medicine of the doctor for a trouble
some cough which I had, and have
tried all kinds of cough syrups and
cough tablets, and Hyomei is the
only remedy that reached the spot.
I had given up in despair, but I feel
so much better now that I feel as
though I have a new lease on my
life."
Hyomei is also guaranteed by T.
F. Laurin to cure catarrh, croup, grip
and asthma and all diseases of the
nose and throat.
WHAT A STRANGER HAS
TO SAY OF US
OFFERED AS A REWARD OF
"TRUTH TO SHAME THE
DEVIL."
The following letter was received
at this office yesterday and is pub
lished for the warning it carries to
the Asiorian who has property here
and who is able to do a bit of think
ing as to his duty next Wednesday
when he goes to the municipal polls:
"Astoria, Or, Dec. 3, 1903.
"Editor Morning Astorian:
"I have been here for sometime
looking for an nvestment for myself
and several others. Lookng over the
financial condtions here I find your
taxes are too high and with pros
pects of going still higher, as your
indebtedness including county, city
school, and water, amount to about
$800,000. Your interest is about $40,,
000 a year. Now they want to pass
three amendment bills at your next
city election:
"Your seawall bill wants to issue
bonds for $300,000, interest at 5 per
cent would amount to $15,000 per
year; the Chamber of Commerce bill
at two mills on $3,470,478, the city
assessment, amounts to $6900 and
the Port of Astoria bill of five mills
amounts to $17,350 per year.
"It is absolutely impossible to ex
pect outside capital to come here to
invest under the conditions. I would
suggest to reduce your taxes, and to
vote down all these amendments, and
have an economical government be
fore you can expect capital to come
here to invest Your truly,

PINAFORE PASSED OFF
VERY WELL!
BIG CROWD HEARS TUNEFUL
DITTIES AND CATCHY
MUSIC.
The comic opera Pinafore in the
Astoria theatre last night was given
to an audience that filled the house,
and the occasion passed off smoothly
and very pleasantly for an amateur
performance.
Pinafore is as delightful as it is
old, and its tuneful ditties and catchy
music never fail to please. Under the
capable direction of Mr. Robinson
the choruses and other details went
off well.
The scenes were really very good,
and some of the costuming was ex
cellent and at times the stage effects
were quite affective. Later the As
torian hopes to give a detailed ac
count of the performance, and mean
time it is faint praise to say that the
rendition was very acceptable and
pleasing to the big crowd. The opera
will be given again tonight, and an
other crowd is expected. If you have
never heard Pinafore you should go
to hear this old favorite, and for
those that have heard it this is a time
when it should be heard again. Two
or three of the participants last night
were especially good, though several
seemed to be not at their best be
cause of timidity.

HIGH SCHOOL TUITION
IS SET AT $70
ARRANGEMENT MADE AT CON
FERENCE BETWEEN SCHOOL
BOARD AND COUNTY COURT
At a conference yesterday after
noon between the mernbess of the
county court and the Astoria school
board the question of the amount of
tuition to be charged against county
pupils who attend the High School
was considered and an arrangement
made. It was agreed that the county
court shall pay the sum of $70 for
each pupil from the county who at
tends the High School. There are at
present 20 boys and girls in attend
ance from various places throughout
Clatsop county, out of a total of 145
in the school.
A recent law provides that the coun
ty court may make arrangements to
pay for the tuition of county pupils
who attend a High School which is
within some particular district in
the county. Inasmuch as the taxpay
crs of the district the city of As
toria, for instance support the school
out of their own pockets it is mam
festly only fair that they should im
pose a charge upon pupils who enter
from without the district. On the
other hand it is also manifestly fair
that the county should pay for the
education of its children, and in this
particular can do so by paying the
tuition into a high school that is al
ready established.
It was not an easy matter to set
the rate of tuition. Superintendent
Clark of the Astoria schools had
figured that the actual cost annually
for each pupil in the High School was
in the neighborhood of $53. But it
would not do to charge the county
that sum for each outside pupil, for
the reason that upwards of half of the
county taxes are paid by the resi
dents of the city who already prry for
the support of the school. Bat It U
estimated that by placing the tuition
at $70, as 'was done, the county out
side of the city will then pay ap
proximately a fair share. There is a
sort of double taxation involved and
it required a little figuring to bring
it out in a manner that would be fair
to the taxpayers of the city and to
those of the county outside of the
city.
The action of the county court yes
terday means that Id the future, and
including this school year, all stu
dents from Clatsop county who at
tend the Astoria High School will
not have to pay the tuition out of
their own pockets, as formerly, but it
will be paid by the county court by
means of general taxation. Especial
ly for parents who are not well-to-dj
ad have children to send to the
High School the arrangements will
doubtless proving a blessing.
