Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iDfamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbiing sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

MODERN PEDAGOGY.
Is it What it Ought to be===A Spirited
Discussion.

At the meeting of the Social Science
club last evening, Mr.. w. E. Young
read paper on whats the matter
with modern pedagogy" In the
paper he briefly reviewed some of the
evils which atfiict our schools. The
good, he said, would take care of it,
self. He did not believe we were
suffering from over education, nor
thai we had too many pedagogues,
provided they are of the right kind.
Quality, not quantity, is the import
ant question. He believed one
trouble with the schools is that teach
ing is looked upon far too much as a
stepping stone to something else. In
this respect he said: $50 long as
school officers shall regard the edu-
cation of children as a means whereby
to acquire other professions or as a
charitable Institution wherein to
pension friends and relatives, we can
rest assured that teaching will not
become profession in fact, and that
only ordinary results will be secured.
So long as the professorshlp in the
college and high school and the posi-
tion in the common school is let to
the lowest bidder, the profession Of
teaching is liable to anguish"
He thought there was tendency
to 20 to the extreme in the matter OF
grading and classification. They are
classified at the beginning of the
year and except in extreme cases re-
main in the grade in which they are
p ut for the remainder of the year
This has two faults in tnat the
bright student is retarded by the
dull and the teacher has little chance
to indivIdualiZe and impart know
ledge according to the wants and
capacity of each pupil. He realized
however, that it was difficulty hard
TO remedy, except by more frequent
classification Of the brighter pupils.
Another serious fault, he believed,
was the neglect of basic principles
and too much attention to unimport-
ant details. Too much time is spent
in expounding methods and Too little
in intoxicating principles. 1t is not so
much what one knows when they
leave school that will determine his
success or failure in life, but that
which he desires to know, and a
knowledge of how to obtain it.
DR.. E D. Steel opened the discus
sion with few humorous remarks
upon modern school methods. The
general discussion was quite spirited
and was generally engaged in by those
present. The schools were criticised
for being superficial, and that they
tried to teach too much. This was
partially admitted by the teachers
present, but they declared that it was
result of demand on the part of
the public that had been yielded to,
and that the reaction was coming and
this evil was being corrected.
The next regular meeting of the
club will be held at the library rooms
on Tuesday evening, Dec. 81, when
Rev. L. w. Beattie will read a paper
on "The True and False in Socialism"
and B. G. Taylor will lead the dis
cussiOn.

White Rocks, Utah. Nov. 24.-There
was great excitement here this morn
ing when it became known that Game
and six other Uintahs and one White
River Indian were missing from the
reservation and had been seen going
in the direction of the Colorado line.
A few days ago the government re-
fused Game a permit to leave the
reservation, for the purpose, as he
stated, of hunting his horses, the agent
giving as his reasons for the refusal
that he wanted all the Indians at the
agency during the investigation by
Special Agent Reynolds.
Captain Beck at once took steps to
pursue and bring back the missing In
dams. He directed the captain of the
Indian police to take a squad Of his
men and arrest the Indians and bring
them back to the reservation, and
under no circumstances let them es-
cape. Captain Beck says he thinks the
police will come up with the missing
bucks before they cross the line. 1t
is believed that the Indians had about
ii hours start.

CANADIAN SCHOOL QUESTION.
Pope's Encyclical Will Not Embitter
the Situation.

Rome, Nov. PA recent letter of
the pope to Archbishop Braschesi of
Montreal who is now in this city on
mission in behalf of the Roman Cath
olics of Manitoba, who claim the right
to maintain separate schools, in addi-
ton to emphasizing the Importance of
the demonstration made by 40 news
paper men at Montreal when the arch
bishop started for Rome, and pointing
out how important the aid of a sympa-
thetic press can give the cause of Or
der and tranquility, concludes by say
ing that animated by especial paternal
zeal for Canada his holiness will use
his utmost solicitude that public con-
cord will suffer no detriment."
The last statement is interpreted to
mean that the pope's coming encyclical
on the Manitoba school question will
not be so rigid as to embitter the situa-
ton.
The reply of his holiness also con-
tains an exhortation to the Catholics
of Canada to warmly second the efforts
of their bishops.
The letter from his holiness to the
archbishop of Montreal was sent in re-
ply to report Mgr. Braschesi had
made in regard to the journalistic dem
onstration previously alluded to.

brought definitely out that but two In

There were present yesterday Snake

were in the fight and escaped, and sew

All of the Indians We're Intercepted
closely and their testimony written,
with a view to having it prepared in
affidavit form. The investigation will
be continued today and possibly longer,

getting at the Indians version he will
go to Lily Park Thompson's Ranch,
Vaughns Ranch and Craig to take the

ISAAC DUNN'S NARROWING TALE
MALAD MAN ACCUSED OF PER-
SCOUTING HIS SON.
Twice Arrested For Stealing Cattle
He Had Observation-Disclosures
Will Be Resisted.
Especial to The Herald.)

Denver, Colo, Nov. 24.-This morn
ing Sheriff D. L. Hooper of Malad City,
Ida, presented his eXtradition papers
for Isaac Dunn, Who was arrested in
Denver on Monday on a charge of
grand larceny. Dunn, when arrested,
claimed that it was case of perse
cution, and involved a business trans
action in which he obtained SO head of
cattle This morning further partic-
ulars of the case came to light, which.
if true will make it doubtful whether
any eXtradition will be granted.
According to the statement of his
attorneys, Dunn is the victim of a
fathers spite, who is evilly disposed
towards his son on account of his 10y
atty to his mother. now dead. 1t was
stated that the Dunn family came
from Wales; that the elder Dunn de-
serted his wife and child there, and
married a Mormon woman in Idaho
The son, Isaac, supported his mother,
and some time ago the mother died,
and Isaac buried her. He then went to
Idaho to see his father, and demanded
of him $500 His father gave him what
he asked with which Isaac purchased
SO head of cattle and started for Den
yer. He got no further than Ogden, for
he was stopped there on a telegram
from his father, alleging that there
was something crooked in the transac-
ton by which he had obtained the cat
tie.
It was stated that he paid $500 there
to secure his release, and obtained a
bill of sale of the cattle which had
caused him all the trouble. After leav-
ing Ogden he came to Denver, and was
arrested here on Monday, also at the
instigation of his father, as he claims.
Dunn was released on a bond given
in Justice Cranes court yesterday, and
is now awaiting the action of the state
authorities in regard to the extradition.
His attorneys propose to make a hard
fight to prevent his being taken back
/ to answer to charge which, they say,
/ has no foundation.

SENTENCED TO HANG.
Two Criminals Convicted of Killing
a Miser.

a Miser.
Hollidaysburg, Pa, Nov. 24-Frank
Wilson of Massilon, O., and James Far
rell of Allequippa, Allegheny county,
wer today sentenced in the Blair county
court to be hanged. A motion for a
new trial was overruled by Judge Bell.
The prisoners had been convicted of the
murder of Henry Bonnock, an aged
miser OF Altoona, on April 7, 1895. The
crime was committed in the miser's
house at midnight, while they were
seeking his wealth. The evidence
against them was of circumstantial
character. Detectives testified that
Wilson and Farrell had confessed their
crime to them in Taylor's hotel. New
York.
The case was made remarkable af-
ter the trial and conviction of Wilson
and Farrell by information that Henry
Hildebrand a convict in the peniten-
tiary at Baltimore. had confessed that
he, and not the defendants, had muir
dered Bonnock. Hildebrand took his
own life in the penitentiary after max
ing this confession.
In denying the motion for new trial,
Judge Bell likened it to the case of
Durrant, the San Francisco murderer,
as an illustration of the propensity of
crooks to assume to themselves the
commission of notorious crimes.

FRANCE AND UNITED STATES.
Reciprocity Negotiations Still In an
Unsettled Condition.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The French
ambassador, NJ. Patenotre. has re-
ceived a cablegram from his govern
ment requesting him to start for Paris
on Saturday next Accordingly he will
present his letters of recall to Presi-
dent Mckinley on Friday, sailing the
next day on the French liner La Cham
payne.
NJ. Patenotre will remain some time
in Paris before proceeding to his new
post at Madrid. This will afford him
an opportunity of comforting with the
Paris authorities and with the new
ambassador to the United States, NJ
Cambon, on pending American ques-
tions.
1t had been hoped that the reciprocity
negotiations between the United States
and France would be closed before NJ
Patenotre's departure. The terms of
the proposed convention have been
practically settled, but the French
government thus far has not given its
consent to the chief feature of the ar
rangement, namely, the abrogation of
the present exclusion Of American cat
tie from France, and the admission of
such under certain restrictions. The
United States has insisted on this as
an equivalent for the tariff concessions
on French champagne. statuary
paints and brandy. On these articles
reduction of 20 per cent in duties
will be made
The pending proposition is in sub
stance that American cattle shall be
admitted at French ports and shall be
slaughtered within "A hours of the
time of landing and the meat be in
spected before being offered on the
markets.
This is not all that the authorities
here would like to secure, as the a
hours limit does not afford adequate
time for fattening the cattle after the
seventies of an ocean trip. The main
| consideration, however, is to remove
/ the barrier itself, and it is hoped that
France will concede this as a part of
| the agreement

SCHEME FELL THROUGH.
Eastern Buyers Frightened Of From
Distillery Pool.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 24-It is said in
local distilling circles that the proposed
scheme of pooling the distillery interests
of Kentucky is about to fall through. The
scheme was to form all the distilleries Of
the state into one vast combine, for the
down expenses of reducing operating
forces Eastern capitalists were going
into the scheme to buy up distilleries
throughout Kentucky, and about 50 per
cent of the state has agreed to the pro-
posed scheme
The reason now alleged for the failure
OF the project is that the eastern finan-
claimed that the Kentucky distillers had
listed their distilleries at figures far be-
vond their real value.

Pocatello. Ida. Nov. 24.-Another dar-
ing hold-up has just come TO light, which
has been kept in darkness with a view to
fastening the guilt onto the perpetrators
OF the crime, but as yet this has not been
done. 1t seems that w. M Williams a
brakeman employed on the Oregon Short
Line, had his pay-check cashed on Satur-
day He was watched and followed until
he started for hinle after paving some
bills. About Z o'clock in the evening, on
Main street, almost in the heart OF the
city, two masked men approached Mr.
Williams, covered him with their revoIv-
ers and commanded him to throw up his
hands This he did and allowed the
strangers to rifle his pockets without Of
fer1ng resIstan or giving alarm The
assallants evidently knew which pockets
contained the money as they put their
hancs into the two in which Williams
had placed the remains of his wages.
After relieving him OF SS7. 80. the hold
ups commanded the brakeman to walk
quietly on home. and they then disap-
peared in the darkness. No clue has been
obtained.
