Flower Denies Stopping the Mitchell
COrbett Fight.

New York, Oct. 22.-If Gov. Flower
had a hand in stopping the Mitchell
Corbett fight at Consy Island, he will
not say so.
He was seen in corridor OF the Hof'
man house to-day and asked whether
it was his intention to prevent the
fight. He replied that such action on
his part was unnecessary as the re-
quisite action had already been taken
by the authorities of Kings county
and there was nothing for him to. do.
Governor Flower added that no COM
plant had been made to him by any
body concerning the fight and that no
charges had been MAZE in this con-
nection against Sheriff Courtney of
Kings County.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condirion of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases oui Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

A WHEAT BLUFF.
Somebody Trying to Work

Circulars Sent Broadcast Through
the State Advising Farmers
Not to Sell.

bald as we'll as bold attempt to manipulate
the wheat market was brought TO light yester-
day. Alfred Bannlster. manager for Starr &
Co., the grain and -four hrm received from one
OF his country customers forwarded circular
with query as o It's value.
The circulariwas printed on pale blue paper
and read:
Everybody hold your
WHEAT.
And you will strike q bouanza
Before wheat is thresbed again.
MIR. Bannister exhibited the circular, which
was unsigned and bore no address. He said it
looked like an attempt to manipulate The wheat
market. Wheat was low, December selling for
81 OS, and IL might be that some persons who
had bought heavily might be trying to prevent
overlooking. A similar dodge bad been tried
III the celebrated Hold your wheat" circular
OF TWO years ago issued by an association. As
a matter OF fact tile management OF the asso-
clatlon might have been selling its own wheat
while restraining others frcm so doing. II was
olmcult 10 get at the reason Of all these things.
Anyhow, The present circular was notable as
being an extraordinary means to influence the
wheat market.
{. Beyfuss, the grain broker, corroborated
TINS view. He said most people were interested
In getting wheat out of the country. Prices
were low and were declining. About 66 900
tons were piled up In warehouses In 1O0-ton
lots. and the total amount held was something
like 236, 500 tons. One firm had been buying
december largely, but to-day had ceased buy
Ing. Mr.. Beyfuss was OF the opinion that the
circular was an attempt TO influence farmers to
hold their wheat In order that certain firm
might not be overloaded Dy excessive offerings.
