De.f.e.. Can,s be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation 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 condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

BURGLARS ARRESTED and JAILED

We make the following abstract of the report of the capture of the burg lars, who robbed Fuller & Peet's store. contained in the Fishkill (N. Y.) Stand ard, of Nov. r. On Monday man from Low Point reported to the police at Fishkill Landing that three young men, with their pockets full of pocket knives, razors and revolvers, were offering them for sale. The men came to Fishkill Landing in the afternoon in a half drunken condition and were arrested by Policemen Mara and Moith. They were examined separately by Jus tice Rogers and told conflicting stories. The first man examined gave his name as Thomas Lynch, of Chicago, plumb CT, aged 26. Frank and George Ray said they were from Chicago, were brothers and both gave their ages as 26. but George said they were not twins They were all dressed in brand new clothing and still had the knives in their pockets.
 Jailer Byrnes, of Poughkeer1ie, ar- rived in Fishkill Landing on Tuesday to look at the prisoners, bringing in- formation of the Canaan burglary by four men, who had left their old clothes in the store. Lynch then made con fession. He said his name was Patrick Brannan and that he was from Sheffield. Mass. That he and his pals had robbed Fuller & Peet's store. Two of the others came from this section, but the other. who left them at New Hambureh. belonged in the Bowery, New York The gang sold some revolvers and four overcoats in New Hamburgh. On Sun- day they were all in Poughkeepsie Fuller & Peet were then telegraphed to- Mir Fuller and Deputy Sheriff Perry ar rived Wednesday night and identified the goods. The men were then com mitted to the Poughkeepsie jail to await extradition papers.
 Great credit is due to Officers Mara Moith for making the arrest and to Justice Rogers for the manner in which he conducted the examination
 The officers received S25 each from Canaan parties for arresting the men.
 The prisoners arrived in this village in charge of Deputy Sheriff Perry and Mir George s. Fuller on the 2.12 train Tuesday afternoon and. after being fed at the union depot, were taken before Justice Edward 8 Roberts at the Town Hall for examination. J. Henry Rora- back represented the state. The pris- oners all pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary at Fuller & Peet's store and were held in $500 bonds each for trial in the Superior court.at New Milford on the first Tuesday of April, 1895 As they were unable to procure bondsmen they were committed to the Litchfield jail. They left for Winsted the same evening in charge of Deputy Sheriff Perry, where they spent the night, go- ing the next day to Litchfeld.
 A gentleman in the assi6tant superin- tsndent's office said that he recognized George Ray, the tallest of the prison CTS, as man whom he had hired as a brakeman on the P. R. & N. E. road at Poughkeepsie in August under the name of Depew. That he came we'll recommended. He also knew Frank Ray as a former employee of the same company under the name of Fox. Brsnnan is said to be from Sheffield, Mass, and has worked at the Warner House as a hostler, but not for nearly. 8 year.

GAUDAUR's GREAT VICTORY
He Breaks His Former Record
and Beats Henry Peterson

ana beats Henry Peterson.
AUSTIN, Tex. May 1.-THE great
international regatta witnessed its third
day OF unprecedented success today by
the Introduction of the grand final
three mile heat with turn, single scull,
for purses aggregating SO, 100. The
first prize is $1,000. The entries were
j. G. Gaudaur, of Ontario; Henry
Peterson. Of San Francisco; e. Durham,
of Toronto; John Teemer, of st. Louis:
q. E. Hosmer, of Boston, and Ed
Rogers, Of Saratoga. This race is the
one in which Jake Gaudaur broke the
worlds record last year, rowing over
this same course in 1906, with Peterson
after him. When the signal was given
the start was well made. Ed Durham
led on the jump. However. Gaudaur
stuck his oars in the water deep and
fairly flew up the course, with Peterson
close second. They soon passed Dur
nan and closed around the mile and a
half stake almost together. The race
back down the course was aterrific one,
Gaudaur and Peterson both husting
over the course like mad. Gaudaur,
realizing that the silent oarsman from
the Pacific slope was pushing him hard,
knuckled down to his work with a
vengeance, sweeping in home only a
short distance in the lead, breaking his
former record by making the time 1901.
He broke the record on the same
course, anG today he cut it still lower,
Peterson knocked 1t off in 19:O2I which
shows both oarsmen were IN good con-
dition. Gaudaur acknowledged tonight
that Peterson pushed. him harder than
he was ever pushed in his life before.
The professional haif-mile. with turn, was
won by Ed Rogers, of Saratoga, who

Will Soon Begin the Patrol of the
Seal Waters.
WASHING TON, May 1.-THE Bering
sea fleet, which sailed from Port Town
send today 10 begin the patrol of the
seal waters. has been ready to sail for
several days, but was delayed in order
to receive final instructions from the
navy department which went forward
by mail. accompanied by copies of the
British act for distribution among the
sealing vessels.
Capt. Clark. of the MICHIGAN, the senior
officer of the fleet, has mad certain dis
cretionary powers conferred upon him
to deal with such sailing vessels as lie
may meet in the close zone. but if be
finds any vessel with skins aboard,
evidently taken since due notice OF the
provisions Of the arbitration agreem ent.
such vessels would he seized. H-
The exact status of the British sealer
Triumph, which recently returned TO
Victoria after warning from the British
cruiser Hyaeinthe. is not clearly known
here, and it may be the subject of an
other dispute between the governments

The Hyacinthe WAS sent north at the
urgent request of the British Column
bfa,ls 10 give notice to the sealers of the
passage of the restrictive act. Some Of
| the officials here hold that il she en-
countered the Triumph with freshly
taken seal skins aboard, it was the duty
of the commander to seize the vessel
and return here to port. Then it would
remain for the courts to decide whether
the master of the Triumph took the
skins before knowing the results of the
arbitration. It was this point THAT
caused delay in the final passage
of the British act, because
OF Secretary Gresham's insstance
upon this point, and when the British
government finally yielded it was sup
posed that there could be. no doubt
remaining as to the Iiabiiity to seizure
of vessels that sought knowingly to take
advantage Of the delay in passing the
British act. 1t may be that the Triumph
really was formally seized by the Hya-
cinthe, inasruch IS she was ordered TO
report To Collector Milne at Victoria,
but the tact that she Was allowed to
dispose of her sealskins does not bear
out that superstition. and it is expected

INDIAN AGENTS.

Efforts to Place Them Under Civil
Service Regulations.
WASHINGTON. May 17.-One of the
provisions of the Indian appropriation
bill Is said to have the effect Of placing
Indian agents under civil service regu-
lationS. The bill contains the provision
"that the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, with the approval of the secretary
of the interior, may devolve the duties
OF any Indian agency upon the superin-
tendent of the lnuian training school
located at such agency, and the super
intendent upon whom such duties de-
volve shall give bond as other indian
agents."
superintendent are already under
civil service regulations, so that the
effect of the provision, if carried into
effect, is to extend the civil service over
such agencies as have superintendent
serving as agent. Efforts have long
been made by those interested in re-
forming the Indian service to have the
agencies placed under the civil service,
but thus far the effort has bsen in vain.
The present provision in the bill is said
to be Il step towards arealizatlon Of this
