Deafness Cannon Re Cured

BY local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness ia
caused 10y an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound, ca 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
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
10y catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case or deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

before the Flower Queen awoke the slum-
bering roses of Santa Rosa and received
courtly tribute. She came almost un-
heralded, with an air of timidity and
doubling about her followers, who, while
they spread carpet of roses over her path
wondered if the populace would do her
most gracious majesty full honor. That
was but year ago. and to-day memories
of the festivities attendant on Flora's re-
ception are so entirely pleasant, active
preparations are in progress for the carni-
val of roses to be held on May s, 8 and 10.
A unanimity of sentiment prevails that
this event, which, as it recurs yearly, will
make Santa Rosa famous far and near,
shall be a success through and through.
Not single dissenting voice can be heard,
for everybody here is enthusiastic over the
carnival. The people want it. They
know they have city of roses with cli-
mate and land which cannot be more
truthfully nor more impressively presented
to the world than by this very means.
And then they have learned to love the
abandon of battle of roses, with glorious
blossoms filling the air and Transforming
streets into wondrous mosaics of creams
and crimsons, and everywhere fragrance
fit for the gods alone.
"But who is the fair sovereign to be?"
That is question which now agitates
Santa Rosa, yes, even the towns of the val
ley stretching from the bay to Cloverdale,
for Petaluma, Healdsburg and possibly
other centers of population are taking
deep interest in it.
A voting contest for the rose queen is in
progress here, and only by popular ballot
can this interesting question be decided.
The elective franchise, so to speak, has
been extended to all people who wish to
pay ten cents for the privilege of voting for
their choice, and with a broad spirit it has
been extended throughout Sonoma County,
thereby giving neighboring towns a chance
to compete.
1t is not enough that Santa Rosa should
possess the fair queen. Her sister cities
may enter if they so desire, and eventually
one of them may have the honor of win
ming the prize. And SO there is already
very wholesome rivalry in the contest for
queen of the rose carnival. Last Tuesday
a ballot-box was placed in Wright's sta
tionery store on the main street and orna-
mental signs were hung up about the place
asking everybody to cast a vote.
AS expected at the beginning, voting
has been rather slow SO far, because people
do not know who the young ladies are for
whom they should vote.
The committee having in charge the pub
lie ballot for Queen of the Rose Carnival
examined the box to-day and counted the
ballots.
Miss Elaine Davis had the highest num-
Der of votes. The others voted for are:
Miss Mile Matthews, Miss Belle Spotts-
wood, Miss Kate Denman of Petaluma.
Mrs. Walter Byington, Miss Emma Shea,
Miss Maggie Roney, Miss Isabelle Dono-
van, Miss Addie Steits of Healdsburg,
Miss Shelton of Stony Point Miss Yost of
Kenwood.

SAN D|EGO-SALT LAKE LINE
A Utah Capitalists Proposal to
Form Company to Build
the Road.
Citizens Are Enthusiastic Over the
Scheme and Are Taking PreIimi-
nary Steps in the Matter.

SAN DIEGO CAL, April 6-An impor-
tant meeting was held tonight to discuss
new railroad proposition made by
Thomas Taylor of Utah, capitalist and
prominent member of the Mormon church,
to interest the people here in building
railroad from Salt Lake to the bay of San
Diego.
Mr. Taylor explained briefly his project,
which was to turn his properties, con-
sidered worth 100000, into stock in
company that would build railroad to
this city, thus affording an outlet for the
coal and iron and direct Eastern outlet
from San Diego via the Rio Grande West
ern. What he asked was only what San
Diego had always promised and offered to
new railroad-terminal facilities and
sufficient real estate to make it an induce
ment to company to seek this port.
1t was declared the sense of the meeting
that if the proposition were found correct
and as represented, it was believed that
the city could furnish depot grounds and
terminal facilities and real estate to the
value of $4,000
To bring matters into tangible shape
committee of five leading citizens, consist
ing of A. E. Mutt, Heber Ingle, q. S. Grant
Jr, R. M. Powers and Watson Parrish,
were appointed to confer with Mr.. Taylor
and report. The committee will meet
Monday morning. The citizens are en-
thusiastic. Interviews with over 100 lead
ing men show remarkable sentiment in
favor of pushing the project to completion.
Mr. Taylor recently had an interview
with Banker Peabody of New York, the
power behind the Rio Grande Western, in
which that gentleman said if the road
were constructed to Cedar City, Utah, the
Rio Grande would be extended to meet it,
covering gap of some 120 miles. This
would afford an almost direct Eastern out
let from San Diego, tapping rich country.
Mr.. Taylor holds patents to immense
coal and iron fields and he figures that
coal can be laid down in San Diego at
price to drive the Australian coal from San
Francisco, Honolulu and the southern
coast as far as Callao. 1t is believed that
Taylor represents the Mormon church in
the project.
AS soon as the committee reports it is
expected a public meeting will be held and
company formed.

THE MURDER At KALAMA.
1T Was the Most Brutal Ecer Committed
In the Coat1,ty.

1T Vas the Most Brutal Ecer Committed
la the County.
KALAMA, WASH, April g. Further
particulars of the killing of Homer Strait
by Thomas Powell, his son-in-law, shows
the murder to have been the most brutal
one in the history of Cowlitz County.
The men had had a lawsuit over piece
of land in which Strait won. Last Mon
day Strait and neighbor, named Piper,
while near Straits house, were met by
Powell and Straits wife, who had been
living apart from him.
The woman accosted Strait with the re-
mark that she had crow to pick with
him. Powell then began cursing Strait,
and, drawing his pistol, fired bullet,
which passed through Straits body just
above his stomach.
Strait tried to knock the pistol out of
PowelPs hand, but the latter succeeded in
firing four more shots, none of which took
effect.
All this time the woman was pounding
Strait over the head with an ox-goad, tear
ing his scalp at every stroke. Piper finally
separated the men and started home with
Strait.
Powell then seized the OK goad and, run
ming up to Strait, beat him into insensi-
bility. No arrests have yet been made.

SAN MIGUEL PHENOMENA,
Subterranean UpheavalS al
the Island Wrecked the
Sloop Liberty.
Severe Shocks DismantIed the YES
sci and a Maelstrom Whirled
1t as Top.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April 5.-The
strange wrecking of the sloop Liberty in
Cuyler harbor on San Miguel Island on
the morning of March 30, which was briefly
mentioned in press dispatches, occurred
during visit to the island OF the CALLS
correspondent. The wreck of the sl0op
ances beneath the water.
The sloop had been lying for two days in
her customary anchorage in the southwest
curve of Cuyler harbor. On the morning
of March 80 the vessel lay shattered hulk
along the shore. The bows of the sloop
were stove in and the mainmast was lying
amidships, pointing sternward and envel-
oped in tangle of rigging. The anchors,
two in number, had dragged, and their
thirty-fathom chains were wound around
and around the keel of the vessel.
Everything indicated that the sloop had
received a severe blow from beneath the
surface of the water and had then been
caught in a maelstrom, which had rolled
her over and over.
This view is confirmed by the experience
of Captain Ellis schooner, which anchored
in precisely the same spot on Wednesday,
April 8. AT II o'clock, when the men
were all below, a sudden severe shock sent
the ship reeling and tossing, and brought
the crew on deck.
Immediately after the waters began to
boil in way never before witnessed on
this coast by Captain Oleson, who is IA
miliar with the whirlpools and maelstroms
of Norway.
The schooner began to drag its anchor,
weighing 4S5 pounds, and attached to a
heavy forty y-fve-fathom chain.
Captain Oleson quickly slipped the an
chor, after fastening buoy to it, and got
out of the harbor as quickly as he could set
sail, only narrowly escaping drifting upon
an ugly rock. Captain Oleson reports that
the soundings of the anchorage, which
were formerly four fathoms. are now seven
fathoms, which shows a sinkage of six feet
in solid rock at this point within a week.

DECREE OF THE CHURCH.
Unless the TranSgresSorS Ask
Forgiveness They Will Be
accommodated.
A PROTEST WILL BE MADE.
Explanation of the Reasons for Max
ing the Charges by the
Complainant.

SAN BERNARDINOy Call; April g.
Two members of the Baptist Church of
this city have been called upon to explain
their conduct in having attended the most
brilliant party of the year.
Company Els cotilon party was indeed
one of the most enjoyable and exclusive
events ever given in this city, but the
rigidity of church discipline seems to have
been violated when members of the organ
ization lent their presence on that occa-
sion.
R. G. King is member of Company E,
and of course was present at the party
given in honor of the organization. He is
a member of the Baptist Church of this
city, as is also Miss Pearl Barnes, social
favorite, who had accepted an invitation
and attended the cotillon.
AT business meeting of the members of
the church last Wednesday evening
charges were preferred by H. A. Reed
against Mr.. King and Miss Barnes, for
conduct unbecoming Christians, and they
were cited to appear three weeks from that
date to show cause why they should not be
expelled from the church.
There is no interdiction against dancing
III tLC COuSy Dut CdCii COl1lu
covenants to do nothing improper or un-
becoming to Christians. Mr.. Reed, who
brings the charges, said to the Calls cor
respondent that dancing by one member of
a congregation brings the whole congrega-
tion into disrepute.
1t will be demanded of the offending lady
and gentleman that they publicly ac-
knowledge their faults and ask the congre-
cations forgiveness.
Mr.. King is not inclined to let the matter
go unnoticed, and says he will contest it
when it comes before the congregation.
He maintains that while the church may
not give itsoapproyal to dancing, that
form of amusement is not specifically for
hidden, and that he has the right to elect
for himself whether he will indulge in the
amusement.
However, the members of the church,
while regretting much that the difficulty
has become public, incline to the view that
there is no such latitude permitted by the
discipline of their organization, and some
of them expressed themselves that there
could be but one result unless the young
people admitted their fault and asked for
pardon.

ARREsT OF A KIDNAPER.
n Los Amgetes Man accused of Stealing a
Ron,

Boy.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, April Ga Dep
uty Sheriff from Los Angeles County to-
day took Frank Tote back there on a
bench warrant, issued by Judge Clark of
the Superior Court.
Tote was caught here while on the way
to Lower California with a six-year-old boy
he claimed as his son under circumstances
pointing to kidnapping. The details of
the case could not be obtained from Los
Angeles; but Tote claimed it was case
of domestic infelicity, and, rather than
surrender the boy to his wife. determined
to flee. He said his wife was Catholic
and he was Protestant, and the trouble
was caused by relatives.
Three months ago. he says, he found the
house robbed of everything and the boy
gone. His wife instituted divorce proceed
ings and applied for the guardianship of
the boy, but the Judge gave the boy to
him. Tote took him into the country and
his wife applied for writ of habeas corpus,
demanding that he bring the boy back and
also applying for guardianship. Tote was
to appear with the boy yesterday, but de-
cided to go across the line with him. 1t is
believed that the other side of the story is
materially different.

among the Santa Rosans. She has made
her own way in life and into social popu-
larity, and is now in charge of the Sunset
Telephone Office here. She is vivacious
and entertaining young lady OF the demi-
blonde type, whose winsome personality
has secured her host of friends who will
support her in the contest.
Miss Spottswood is the granddaughter of
Thomas Hopper, one of the wealthiest men
of the county, and moves in the 'avenue
set''-the aristocratic society of Mcdonald
avenue. The beaus of Santa Rosa say she
is one of the local beauties and really
interesting girl with numerous admirers,
who believe she stands a good chance of
winning.
Miss Elaine Davis is the young daughter
of J. B. Davis, the railroad man. It was
thought that she would be queen by selec-
tion but the committee failed to agree on
a choice. Being very pretty and engaging,
she could grace the coveted position and
do honor to it as well.
Miss Steits of Healdsburg has many ad-
mirers here as well as up the valley, where
it is believed an active canvass will be made
in her behalf. If the citizens of Healds-
burg had chosen candidate for queen by
mutual consent they could hardly have
taken a more beautiful or more generally
liked girl than Miss Steits, about whose
prospects there is no end of speculation
just now.
Miss Shelton of Stony Point and Miss
Denman of Petaluma will have such gem
erous support that it is highly probable the
queen may come from the lower end of the
valley to preside over the carnival of roses.

Of fcourse, many other ladies are favorites,
though at the present time it is not possi-
bic to say if they will be in the contest.
After the queen is elected she will select
her maids of honor from the towns of So
noma, all of whom will come with their
friends in throngs to add eclat to the fair
queens carnival.
The committee on entertainment for the
rose carnival held meeting last night and
discussed a programme for the second
evening.
Cassasa's band of San Francisco has ten
dered its services upon terms that are con-
ceded to be quite liberal. It is believed
that this band will be secured to plav at
the Atheneum on the occasion of the de-
livery of the prizes. Governor Budd and
his staff will, in all probability, be present.
Mayor Sutro of San Francisco and the
leading officers of the National Guard are
also to be invited.
Another suggestion under consideration
by the committee is to have local amateur
Observation-Disclosures byyeung ladies and
gentlemen lavishly decorated with flowers.
The features of the play are to be floral in
character, and it is to be written by local
playwright. The performance is to be inter
spersed with songs of flowers by local
talent.
The country people are taking an active
interest in the carnival and every indica-
ton is that an immense throng of people
will be present.
The committee on programme and enter
tainment is composed of Hon. j. T. Camp
bell, Mrs. DR.. Finley, Mrs Mayor Wood
ward, Mrs. Judge Dougherty, DR.. Porter,
Mrs. P. P. Rue and Major L. w. Juilliard.

WALLACE, = IDAHO, April 6.-J. ]. Mills,
"a miner employed in the Gem mine on
Canyon Creek, was driven from his work
last night by six masked men armed with
.Tevolvers. They took him down the
canyon about half mile below Gem,
where they left him, after telling him

Mills has family and has lived in Wal

the treatment except that he is not union

supposed to belong to the band that muir
dered John Kneebone at the Gem mine
last July. The Sheriff was promptly noti-
fed but 10 arrests have been made, as

DEMAND FOR NEVADA BEEF.

Eastern Buyers Depicting the Herds on
the Ranges.
RENO, New, April 6.-Not for ten years
has there been such demand for beef cat
tie as prevails this spring, and as result
the ranges are almost depleted. There is
hardly beef steer in Nevada Grant Coun-
ty, Or, or that portion of California lying
east OF the Sierras, while last year there
were fully 25,000'head seeking market on
the west side of the mountains.
Eastern buyers have cleaned up all the
beef in this section, and stock cattle have
gone up about 81 per head. There is a
better feeling among the stockmen now
than for many years past.
