Deafness Cannot be Cured

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
innamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and upless the in
namation 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 in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

than any town of its size in the State

The esteemed Capital is bein 6 mis-

Hope is as orderly town and has nc
more soiled linen than other places.
The whole trouble lies with some low

stories concocted in their own diseas'

Inexcusable Stupidity.

The case of Pattison VS. Pattison was
dismist by Judge Moore after the evil

fish sufficient evidence to make a case

Was IT MURDER?
MAJOR MERRILL REPORTS 4
CHASTITY FIND.
Nude Body Of a Woman Seen Floating
Down the River Two Miles West OF
Solomon-lt Was Not Recovered.

Major Merrill was down from Solo
mon Thursday and reported the pres
ence of the nude body OF woman In
the Smoky river. Two men, named
James Ryan and Mr.. Musgrove' were
chopping wood on the river oank
Monday evening, near where 1t re-
ceives the water from Gypsum creek
and a few hundred yards from Major
Merrill's stucco Midland say that they
plainly seen the body OF woman
floating down stream with strong
current. At times only the face was
exposed but often the half of the nude
BODY could be seen. The head seemed
to be covered with fascinator and
the long hair hoated around the face
in playful circles. The men made no
efforts to recover the body, although
boat was very near.
In the evening some Of Major Mer-
rill's employees were over to Ryan's
visiting and were told OF the CHASTITY
sight. The major was informed OF
the matter and procuring a boat that
night, by moonlight, explored the
river for several miles down but moth
ing could be found Of the corpse.
Nothing has been heard Of at any
other point relative to the matter and
it is possible that the body will never
be recovered. There is no telling
what kind of a crime may have been
committed.

People Don't Want Gold.

The Abilene banks have received
information from their eastern CORE
spondents advising them that cur
rency is very short and hard to get
but that they have plenty of gold.
The eastern correspondents want the
banks to pay out as much gold as
possible. The only trouble is that
the people don't want the gold when
they can get something just as good
and not so difficult to take care Of in
quantity. All the banks have more
than their legal reserve in gold coin
and in many cases have to insist upon
persons receiving it in payment Of
checks. The demagogical cry that
there is a scarcity Of gold is all non
sense.

UNTRuTHFUL ASSERTIONS.
Attempt Of the News to Defams TIL
School Board.

In a laborious article this week
the News attempts to stem the tide IN
favor of a Republican city ticket. 1t
departed somewhat from its original
intention and made uncalled for
and untruthful assertions in regard to
the board Of education. 1t says:
The crying demand Of every tax
payer is lower taxes. In order to
secure them there must be a radical
change made in the management Of
the public schools. There is where
the extravaganza has been main
tanned for the past four or six
years. The city school board still
pays boom salaries regardless OF the
hard times and secures no better tai
ent for the money than could be Sc
cured for 25 per cent less. Had the
school boards Of the past few years
exercised the same rigid economy that
the mayor and council have in the
performance of their duties at least
81 800 each year could have been add
ed to thh city's surplus.
The News doesn't know what it is
talking about. The facts are that the
board has been just as economical
and kept its finances in as good shape
as any department of the city govern
ment. For the past several years
over $1,000 Indebtedness has been
annually paid off and today we have
no outstanding warrants nor unpaid
Indebtedness and with enough money
in the treasury to liquidate the next
months pay roll. The salary paid
the teachers in every department Of
the school service is not as high as
that paid by neighboring cities. The
board has been very careful in the
discharge gifts duties, and as most Of
the members are heavy taxpayers
and real estate owners they have
guarded the finances as carefully as Il
they paid all the taxes.
The News is against partisanshil
in city government but when it con
dennis the management of schoo
matters it but digs the hole for 1T
own theories. The present board o
education was elected as non-partisar
but the politics of the members stan'
as follows: Five Democrats, four Re
publicans and one lone Pop. Tit
facts don't bear out the News CLAIM
and its attack on the board falls 0
its own weight.
The News seeks to shift the respon
sibility Of its attack by givingit as al
interview with a prominent Republi
can. But we don't believe there is
Republican in Abilene who sanction
its untruthful utterances.
