WYoMINe,s CONTEST.
The Supreme Court Finds Fatal De-
fects in the Certificates.

IeCCS IN the OerttnCat6s.
CHEYENNE, WYo., Dec. S0.-ln the su-
preme court yesterday, Chief Justice
Groesoeck dissenting. in the course of a long
decision. practically decided that the de-
fects in the certificates Of nomination under
the Australian election law were a bar to
an officer taking his seat If elected This
was IN the attempt Of two democratic candi-
dates from Carbon county to get certificates
as members of the legislature from the state
oanvassinR board, which accepted returns
from the county clerk, admitting the pre-
oinct which elected these two men, and re-
Jected the returns of the other two MEM
bers OF the board which included the pre-
cinct in question. The court allowed the
attorney for the Carbon county men TO nle
a reply.
SPIRITED ARGUMENT
Mr.. Campbell, attorney for the democrats
laid great stress on this point in his argu-
ment before the court last night. He con.
demned such decision inlround terms and
spoke OF overriding the issue by force
Judge Vandeventer, for the respondents,
sprang TO his feet, and took exoep.
tlon to the remark. Mr.. Camphell then
withdrew the offensive words. The defect
in the nomination certificates Of the two
members from Carbon county is that they
do not show when the convention was held.
where it was held, for what purpose it was
held, the character of its composition, or
for what Offices the nominees were candi-
dates. The law prescribes form that was
not considered in any particular. Mr..
Campbell said to the court that the case
would be carried 20 the United States su-
preme court.
PLANS OF THE DEMocRATs.
In view Of the decision OF tho supreme
court delivered yesterday, the democrats
openly say that they believe that all the
other points vet to be decided by the court
will be against them, and assuming this to
be so, they have resolved to have a second
lower house, and elect democrat to the
United States Senate. They condemn in
strongest terms the decision of the court
yesterday, which they claim was disen-
franchisement of the electors through no
fault of their own.

WHAT SCIENCE HAS. DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.
Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the
Use of a Simple Device.

There Is little doubt but what the treat
ment OF deafness has been revolutionized
by the invention OF the Sound Discs. The
development and growth of the use of
this device is phenomenal, and Is well
worthy the attention it has received in
medical circles, where it has been widely
discussed and most heartily approved.
A prominent physician has gone so far as
to estimate that fully three-quarters Of all
the deafness which has been relieved in
the United States during the past two
years has been by the aid of this instru-
ment; and he considersit an easy triumph
over this most distressing aflliction.
While the idea of such an instrument
is not strictly new, yet the restoration Of
such large number of desperate and alb
andoned cases by its use has proven it to
be Of vastly more Importance than was at
first supposed. A recent interview with
the inventor of the instrument, Mr.. III. A.
Wales, who lives in Bridgeport Conn,
discloses how the idea Of such an ingeni-
Gus instrument first occurred to him. 1t
was learned that IL was first suggested
from the fact that most people who suffer
from defective hearing hear better in a
noise, or on moving train, which is
caused by the increased vibration OF the
ear. From this Mr.. Wales said he was
confident that he could invent a device
which could be worn with comfort 10y the
patient, and which would focus the small
or waves Of sound OH the drum-head, thus
increasing its vibration, and enabling the
patient to hear ordinary conversation and
public speaking. After many experiments
the final outcome of this happy thought
has been the present device, which must
be an ideal one as it Is worn in the ear
out Of sight for months at time.
