THE END
THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense Of Hear
ing by DIR. Hartman.

During the course of one of DR..
Hartman's latest lectures at the Surgi-
cal hotel he said: Good hearing is
essential TO health and safety. A con-
tinual roaring, cracking and buzzing
IN the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is a constant
nervous irritation, which will gradu-
all, undermine the strength. Besides
this, even a slight loss of hearing rem
ders anyone more liable to accident,
many persons being killed every year
because of partial deafness. Many peo-
pie think that a gradual loss of the
sense of hearing is inevitable and every
one must submit to it sooner or later.
Hence they make no attempt to find a
cure. This is a great mistake. Loss
of hearing, either in the old or young
people, is nearly always due to chronic
catarrh of the head or middle ear.
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes to the middle ear
The catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined in the middle
ear. The symptoms are Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
Ing. If not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case has
not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure
every case. 1t is only after catarrh has
destroyed portions of the middle ear

Opposed Co Utah's Statehood.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 29.-The Tribune
prints a column article today, stating
that circulars are being sent out from
Ogden to all voters in the territory for
the purpose of defeating statehood. The
circular is headed: ''The Danger of
Statehood" It deals largely in statIs-
tics, showing the cost of running the
state government, and closes by saying
that statehood will add 100000 to the
burden of the people. It is claimed
that the circulars are sent out by Fred J.
Kiesel, who was democratic member
of the recent constitutional convention
and that list of voters had been OBJ
tanned from the records of the Utah COM

He Denounced Some of the Testimony
of the Prosecution AbsO-

-Deuprey Talks.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 29.-General
Dickinson resumed his argument on be-
half of the defendant when the trial of
Theodore Durrant began this morning.
He blamed the police for not making a
closer examination of the belfry where
Miss Lamont's body was found. The
examination, he said, might have shown
some clew that would have put the po-
lice on the track of the real murderer,
instead of compelling them to accuse an
innocent man of the crime. With refer
ence to Martin Quinlin, he said he be-
lieved the fact had been established that
Quinlin's testimony was not worthy of
belief.
Oppenheim's testimony was picked to
pieces and the conclusion drawn that
Oppenheim was not telling the truth.
Phillips, who corro borated Openheim's
testimony, was said to have $50 bad a
reputation at Victoria, B. c., that little
credence should be given to what he
said.''
Dickinson said he had but little to say
about the testimony of Miss Cunning
ham. He said that he preferred that
che should be convicted of treachery
and deceit by words that came from her
own mouth. He said that her story was
unnatural, improbable, disconnected
and absolutely untrue.
Dickinson closed by appealing to the
jury to bear in mind that the strength
of the chain of circumstantial evidence
nn1u oCtIo1 fO 70 ;al-
pivotal point in the whole case, he said,
was DIR. Cherey's roll-call, which shows
that Durrant was at the Cooper medical
college on the afternoon that Blanche
Lamont was murdered. The whole case
centered around the call, which he be-
lieved had been amply corroborated by
DIR. Cheney and the student who called
the roll. He said the prosecution had
produced no testimony which proved
that Durrant, whose character had been
good all his life, had suddenly been
transformed into a monster, when it is
alleged he strangled Blanche Lamont.
He urged the jury to disregard all public
clamor and opinions of the press in ar
irving at a conclusion, and then, he said &,
the defense would be satisfied, no mat
ter what the verdict might be. Dickin-
son concluded his argument at II so,
