SI1TSER-DUNHAM CONTEST.

The Wyoming Democrat of last
week, contains the following con-
cerning the contest in the Wyoming.
Sullivan judicial district:
James w. Piatt, Esq, of Counsel
for the contestants in the Sittser. Dun
ham contest, returned here from La.
porte on Wednesday evening, having
been obliged to come home on account
of severe cold, and leaving Mr..
Dersheimer, who with J. G.. Scouten,
Esq, of Dushore, are conducting the
contest there on the part of Judge
Sittser. Motions have been filed by
the attorneys for Judge Sittser asking
the court to direct the respondents to
file more specific specifications IN that
those filed do not charge specifically
who were bribed, i. e. where one is
charged with bribery they do not show
who that one bribed. In other words
there must be two parties to the
bribery and the specifications should
show both parties to the contract.
Another motion was filed asking leave
to file additional specifications on the
part of the contestants showing bribery
on the part of the friends of Judge
Dunham. Both of these motions were
held under advisement by the court
and the work Of taking testimony COM
menced. Two stenographers are in
attendance and the work of examining
witnesses progresses rapidly. The
records have been first put in evidence
showing that in many districts there,
noticably the Lopez district, many
unregistered citizens voted without
making any affidavit, while many
made were defective. The ballots
themselves were not opened and
counted so that it is imp oss;ble to tell
how these people voted, but from the
best obtainable information it is known
that a large majority of them voted
for Dunham and that Sittser will gain
enough in Sullivan alone to change
the result. In addition to this testi,
mony number of witnesses have
been examined in regard to their pay
ment Of taxes, residence, etc., and {
number of these voted without the
proper qualifications. Commissioner,
Little and Bardwell were notified or
Wednesday to file the ballots, voting
lists, registry books, etc., In cour
forthwith, and they went over will
them yesterday. 1t is expected tha
the work of taking testimony on th
part of the contestants so far a
Sullivan county is concerned will b
finished this week and that a commits
sion will be appointed to commenc
the examination of witnesses here b
Tuesday of next week. The contes
court is hurrying the matter along wit
all possible speed and it is believe
that the testimony will be all in O
both sides. blythe close. .;of the month

MY little girl Hazel is now four years

recovery her eyes grew infiamed and sup

six months he gave US the discouraging

Deafness Can Not be Cured
by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is in1amed YOU have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
