Machines, Say an Authority.
Is it possible that in these days
when cleanliness and sanitary reform
is being preached in the churches,
schools and at public gatherings, that
thousands of people will continue to
suffer from catarrh, when there is an
absolutely certain remedy always on
hand.
Hyomei (pronounced High-o-Me)
is a pleasant, medicated and antisep
tic air. Breathe it in and it will cure
catarrh. It will stop foul breath,
watery eyes, and crusts inthe nose,
in a few days.
It is guaranteed by T. F. Laurin
to do it or money back, and such a
guarantee ought to be strong enough
for anybody
Entire Cured by Hyomei
Having suffered from catarrh for
about two year- and having tried
numerous remedies without , any sat
isfactory results, finally tried Hyo
mei, and am glad to state that after
using about one and one-half bottles
I am entirely cured. I have recom
mended it to others with satisfactory
results. C N. Lindsy, 407 East First
Ave- Mitchell, S. D.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of a strong, hard rubber pocket
inhaler and a bottle of Hyomei, costs
only $1, and extra bottles, if after
wards needed, cost only 50 cents
each at T. F. taurin or direct, by
mail charges prepaid, from Booth's
Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
Hyomei also cures Asthma, Bron
chitis, Coughs and Colds, Croup of
Infants, and any inflammatory dis
ease of the respiratory tract.

i TOMORROW
No change was found by the board
of canvassers yesterday in the check
ing up of the, vote between Mr.
Schmidt and Mr Kaboth for the city
council. The board consisted of City
Auditor Anderson, T. C. Clinton,
county clerk, and J. P. Goodman
lustice of the peace. But it should be
clearly understood that the official
eanvass of the votes yesterday did not
I include a recount. Nothing was done
'but to check over the figures made by
j the judges and clerks of the election,
and no recount of the ballots is pos
sible except upon the order of a duly
authorized court The canvass still
showed that Mr. Kaboth was two
votes ahead.
Mr. Schmidt said again, yesterday
that he is firmly resolved not to ask
for a legal recount of the ballots, and
intimated that this would be his
course even if he was assured that the
new deal would seat him in the coun
cil chamber. Mr. Schmidt adds that
this is to be his course for the best
of all reasons that he has promised
his wife he will keep out of the po
litical turmoil. On the other hand
pretty strong pressure may be brought
by a few to have a recount, founded
upon several reasons.
In the First ward the canvass of the
votes in the contest between Mr. Car
ney and Mr. Karinen showed
change rather a peculiar change. By
it Mr. Carney lost three votes, leaving
him only majority of one over Mr.
Karinen.
In this precinct Mr. Carney had re
ceived MS votes and Mr. Karinen 141,
according to the figures turned into
the city auditor by the judgei of the
election. But in adding up toe check
marks the canvassers yesterday found
that (apparently) there bad been an
error in adding up the checks, and
that a proper adding of the check
marks showed that Mr. Karinen had
received three more votes than the
judges had credited him with when
they totalled up the tabs.
But unfortunately the matter is not
simplified by the action of the can
vassers. They could do nothing but
add up what they found before them,
and in so adding they found that Mr.
Karinen should be credited with three
more votes than he first was given.
It was not for them to express any
opinion, or to try to go back of the
returns.
There were two tally sheets, as pro
vided by law. One of these was
turned in to the city auditor. The
other is still retained by the judges
and clerks. They don't agree. The
one that was turned into the city
auditor showed the three extra votes
The one that was retained by the
judges and clerks does not show
these three extra votes. In other
words, one of the tally sheets shows
that Mr. Karinen got 141 votes; the
r.ther sheet shows that he got 144
'votes. The one that shows the 144
' votes happened to be the one handed
! into the city auditor and therefore
Uhe canvassers had to bo by it. But
even this sheet showed a total, as
added by the "judges and clerks of
only 131 votes.

Peter Svensen. a Norwegian gen
tleman. a scholar, a line orator, aim
former member of the Norwegian
nttriimtont tiOivrreJ an addrei in
the First Methodist church last nB
to an audience that filled the place.
To the many Norwegians present
the address was a notaoie one n
many respects and one or more
who heard it said they would remem
ber it all their lives. It was filled
with wit and humor, with much
good sense, and with many an allu
sion to the Norwegian homeland.
The address was of course in the
Norwegian language.
Mr. Svensen said he was glad to
see so many of his countrymen and
women here, and he advised none .of
them to return to the old country.
Let the young men and the old take
out their citiienship papers, and be
come good American citiaens, he
declared. He said he knew why
they had come to this land it was
for bread, and being here they shouid
become cood citiiens of the land of
their adoption. But he said he would
be glad if they would visit back
home, for that- would be pleasant for
those who are here and for those
who are still there.
Many, he said, had come out here
years ago and have never gone back,
and he did not want them to think
that Norway has not prospered and
oroeressed in that time. The prob
lem of finding bread and prosperity
ir ill those who are now there is
being met. he said. But let th
young men who are here not forget
to write back home to the old folks.
Many tiroes, he said, he had gone
into some poor home in sme little
village back there and found the old
folks all alone. "And where is your
sonr he would ask. "In America,"
the answer would come. Aod then
ould come the sad, the very sad,
. . M
story. "No, he does not write.
"Oh, if you would only write
ould only write back to those lone-
1 nM father ind mothers. It WCrtlM
give them such happiness.
Mr. Svensen spoke of the temper
ance question. He told oi ine tem
perance question in Norway, mere
the people have voted, practically, to
do away with drink altoegther.
Rut we want them to be sure-
want to go slow we want the
people to be sure.. Therefore we will
have one or two more elections on
the question, and then when we are
sure we will abolish drink." The
speaker declared that this question
tmnM not be trone at upon the
groundwork of emotion. He said the
way must first be prepared. Places
must first be prepared for those who
now find in the saloon the only club
life, and the only social life, they
know. He anoarentlv did not think
the wave of prohibition that has
swept over many states in this
country would prove of lasting or
real benefit, though he is an ardent
temperance man. He seemed to be
afraid it was merely a wave of emo
tionalism, and that the way for pro
hibition had not been first prepared.
The way must be first prepared in
Astoria, also, he said. He believed
in happiness, in places for amuse
ment and joy, in happy home life,
and -vhen these things had been
found, for young men and old, then
the saloon can be safely done away
with. He believed in letting young
girls and young men meeting to
gether in social parties, so that they
might learn to know each other.
Then when they mate for life there
would be less chance of a mistake. ,

sen goes to Seattle from here. He

came over to this country is dele
gate to a convention several months
ago, and he said he liked the big
country. The above running account
of a few of the things he touched
upon probably will not prove a very
accurate rendering to those who
heard the address, as it was written
merely from a short account given
of the address by one who heard it.
But it seemed to have made such a
strong impression upon those who
did hear and understand it that a
slight account of the lecture will
doubtless prove interesting to all
the readers of the Astorian.

But it is understood that the judges
and clerks of the election in this pre
cinct think that the three extra votes
should not be counted. At all events
Mr. Karinen is defeated as the vote
stands by either on vote, or by four
votes. It is said he is contemplating
contesting the election, on the ground
that some ballots that were not ac
cepted should have been counted for
him. If he do.es contest there is little
doubt the Republican committee will
contest' the Schmidt-Kaboth vote.
