The pension bureau is enjoying a SEN
sstion of the biggest kind. Certain
newspapers have been making charges of
more or less Importance against almost
every branch of that Office ever since
Commissioner Tanner took charge. And
now the action of Secretary Noble,
remarks the Freeport Bulletin. in APP
pointing committee to investigate the
rersting of all pensions during the last
twelve months and the charges of favor
itism in making the applications of q
prominent pension attorney of this city
special, has opened the eyes of good
many people to the fact that there
must be some basis for these
charges. The committee investigating
holds daily sittings in the pension Office.
The sessions are secret, but enough has
leaked out TO make it certain that they
have discovered very loose way of doing
sions. 1t has been1earned to a certainty
that many clerks in the Office have been
largely benefited by getting their pen
sions re.rated, some of them getting an
increase of as much as SO month
1t is believed that many discharges viii
follow the investigation unless the thing
is hushed up. which is not at all probs
BILE now. II this Committee SHOULD
make embarrassing report there will
be congressional investigation as soor
as congress meets that will show uT
the real condition of things. Commits
sioner Tanner Is said to have received
several letters from Governor Foraker. o
Ohio. urging him not to change his lib
eral policy toward the veterans. at leas
not during the gubernatorisl campaign
From what can be learned on the out
side almost every pensioner employed il
the pension bureau has had his pensio
rerated and increased during the las
twelve months. 1t is said that it was tn
vast amount of money spent by certai
pension Office officials that first srouse
the suspicion of q wideawake newspape
man as to where it came from.

Herman Garments Case.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2-Martin QHinlan is a
switchman in the employ Of the Erie road at
the Jersey City yards James Shields, a
brakeman ON freight train, is one of his
intimate friends. Shields was riding on the
top of a caboose at the end of a train
Wednesday when it passed q switch at
Provost street, where Quinlan was standing.
An Idea Strikes Shields.
The train was not all made up. and there
was coil of bellrope lying on the roof OF
the caboose One end Of it was attached to q
hook in the roof so that it could not be lost.
Shields thought he would have some fun with
Quinlan, and he took the coil and, swinging
il around his head cowboy fashion, he threw
it at Quinlau. There was a moose on the
loose end of the rope, but Shields did moi
know it,
Strikes Quinian. Too.
His aim was better than he expected The
rope Strengthened out as it reached Qutnlar
and the moose settled over his neck. The
train was running at about seven miles an
hour, ard before Quinlan had a chance t.
take the rope off his neck It was pulled taut
and he was jerked from his feet and dragged
along the track
The Fool Joker Paralyzed.
Shields was paralyz ed when he saw wha
he had done, and he could only stand ant
look at Quinlan as the latter was draggeS
over the ties and stone ballast. Quinlan triet
TO seize the rope with his hands 10 loosen the
| moose, but he did not succeed. He, however
got his fingers between the rope and hi
throat, and in that way prevented himsel
| from strangling.
But Receivers In Time.
Shields finally regained his senses and sig
nailed frantically for the engineer to stoI
the train. All the time poor Quinlan's bodl
was humping over the ties. At Henderson
street the train was stopped. Quinlan ha

removed to his home at 40 Henderson

consisted of numerous bad bruises on hi
body and a badly wrenched neck, which ais

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one wav to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflaned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls
