DEAFNESS Cannot be 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 is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is
infiamed 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
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of tie
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars FOL

rh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Assassination Attempted.

Pies. Thompson and Paden Tolbert
went out to Claremore Thursday and
returned Friday with Dick Carr,
and Clarence Ogan, Gibson Ogan and
Clinton Ogan, charged with killing
cattle and shooting at man. They
were arrested on Caney above the Tom
Galcatcher place. They were brought
to Vinita to be placed in Jail for safe
keeping till next Tuesday when they
will be taken hack 10 Claremore for a
preliminary hearing before Commits
sioner Yancy. On Wednesday night
about 8 O'Clock John Bullette's ranch
man, Clint Adams, went out TO see
about the cattle and while riding
through the pasture was fired upon
from ambush: eight shots were fired
at him. One bullet went through his
hat, another struck his saddle and a
third his horse in the leg. Adams re-
turned the fire but without effect.

The Delaware Scheme.

The Delawares under the leadership
of Dick Adams count upon winning
their suit against the Cherokees and
getting the I57, ,6G0 acres Of land set
aside without doubt. The Delawares
have abandoned the Fort Gibson
scheme and are now figuring on hav.
ing the land set off to them in the
northwest portion of the Cherokee
nation. The sentiment in favor of
going TO Mexico is being carefully
nursed by few intelligent Delawares
who probably expect to buy out those
foolish enough to sell. This is an
auspiciOus time for schemes and
schemerS.

Trouble at a Colored Dance

Tom Adair was shot in the mouth
by Sylvester Chillis Friday night while
IA dance was in progress at Hicks hall
on the east side. The trouble, we
understand, arose over the smiles of a
dusky damsel. Adair was shot
through the ear and mouth and il is
said caught the bullet in his hand.
Sylvester was promptly arrested and
placed in the holdover TO await re-
suits and an investigation by the
commissioners court. The wounded
man is not seriously hurt, and the
presence OF mind displayed in catch
ing the leaden missile is commend
able, and might be the means of proof
that he had really been shot.

Cattle Business.

DR.. Z. Il. Frayser returned Saturday
morning from ST. Louis where he sold
a car of the "tailings" of his herd,
averaging 200 pounds, at $3.50. lie
has in this nation only about 800 c;st-
tie left, 200 of which are stockerS.
He has shipped $50 head this year
enough to leave him ''on easy street
and has $500 left. The doctor takes
somewhat of a pesSimistic view of the
cattle business, reasoning that the
banks have too large an interest in
too many herds and in case of small
losses will begin to close out their
customers.
