Deafness Cannon pe Cured

by local applications, 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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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 for
ever; 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 (cause6 by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh

Work to Be Pushed.

UNION, Or, Oct. 31.-Joseph Johnston,
railroad builder, returned from Portland
this morning where he has been for a
few days perfecting arrangements for the
construction of the Union, Cornucopia
& Eastern railway, which is to connect
this city with the Seven Devils country,
in Idaho. A Chinese company of Port
land secured the contract for doing the
grading work, and today twenty Chinese
arrived here, and are making camp ready
for the work. Forty more Chinese will
arrive tonight from the East, and a
large number will be here in few days.
Mr.. Johnston says he has interested a
number of practical railway men in the
enterprise, and the work of building the
road will be pushed as rapidly as pos

PLEAD GUILTY
TO MURDER
Sensational DenOuement to the Linn
Murder Case at Eugene-Green
to Testify Against BrantOn To-
morrow.

EUGENE, Or, Nov. IA highly SEN
sational denouement to the John Linn
murder case occurred today, when
Courtland Green, jointly indicted with
Claude Branton for the crime, plead
guilty to murder in the first degree.
Green has agreed to testify against Bran
ton at IL o'clock tomorrow forenoon, at
the latter's trial, which began yester-
day.
Green will receive his sentence next
Monday.
The first intimation that Linn had
been murdered, came, it is remembered
in story told by Green to the authori-
ties of Lane county, to the effect that
Branton and Green were coming across
the Cascade mountains with Linn, with
a band of horses last June. Linn and
Branton had trouble over a settlement
while camping at Squaw creek, Crook
county.
They arrived at Alder springs June
18th, and corraled their horses. Linn
lay down near the fire. Green said that
soon after, while he was getting wood, J.,
he heard the report of a pistol. He
ing over Linn with smoking revolver
in his hand. Linn had been shot through
the bead.
An examination of the scene of the
killing showed that Linn's body had
been chopped to pieces and carefully
cremated. coroner's jury accused
Branton of the murder. Branton disap-
peared and no clue to his whereabouts
could be obtained, although reward of
$3.50 was offered for his capture, until he
was arrested on the streets of Eugene
July Goth.
Branton disclaims any knowledge of
the crime, declaring that he did not
know that he was wanted until few
minutes before his arrest. He said that
after he left the scene of the crime he
went as far east as Topeka, Kas., in
search of work, but finding none, re-
turned home. He was indicted by the
Lane county grand jury for murder in
the first degree.
At the preliminary examination Green
was bound over to the grand jury on a
charge of being an accessory to felony,
but later evidence was secured implical-
ing him in the murder, and he was in
dicted on the came charge as Branton.
Later-The court decided to have
Green come on the stand at IL o'clock
this morning. and shortly afterward
Branton broke down and cried like a
! baby.

TESTIMONY OF

The Transportation Facilities We're Also
Decidedly Inadequate-Will Visit
Camp Meade and Take Evidence
There

LEXINGTON, Nov. Before the in
vestigating committee today chief com
missary officer, Marshal, of Camp Ham
ilton, denied the statement of Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Mitchell, of the First terri
torials last night. He said every requi-
sition bad been honored from the terri
torials.
The second witness was General ]. c..
Bates, who testified as to the Santiago
campaign, the camp at Mobile and at
Chickamauga. He said:
''The day before we left Mobile we
were pretty well supplied with necessi-
ties. At Santiago we had bread and
meat always. Montauk Point was not
proper place for sick soldiers at this
time of the year. At Montauk Point ]
learned that the Long Island Railway
Company had an exclusive contract to
haul soldiers to the city. 1 issued or
ders to all the railroads to comd in and
help take off the sick. In Cuba medi-
cal supplies very woefully short. ]
think the ambulances we took were the
only ones ashore when the rough riders
fight occurred, on June 24th.''
When asked what, in his opinion, was
the weakness of the medical department
he said he thought great mistake was
made in not sending medical officers in
sufficient number with regiments or
dered to the field. Bates conclued by
saying:
81 think there is not sufficient excuse
for medical supplies being short in Cuba,
Better preparations could have been
made for transportation

PERPETUAL YOUTH.

Gen. Merritt is going to

General is 81 years old, the

The old men are coming to

death was the spryest states

TO REST WOMEN.

Many women don't have
time to rest. It's work,
work, work, day after day
with them. AS a conse-
quence they are always tired,
That kind of a life soon ef-
t &C IS the constitution.
About the first evidence of
this is weakness or derange-
ment Of the feminine organs.
That means constant aches
and pains in the head, back,
sides, hips and legs. Women
silently suffer that way year
after wear, But they need
not suffer. No woman works
so hard that she must be tired
all the time. BY taking Nc,
Elree's Wine Of Cardui, the
great vegetable medicine
made especially for the pc.
culiar ailments of women,
she can get relief. This
medicine stops the drain upon
the system. 1t makes a wo.
man so strong that her work
will not tire her as formerly.
1t gives her natural, restful
sleep. Thousands of Ameri.
can women substantiate these
statements, Any tired wo.
man can quickly prcve them
by buying a bottle ofW tne of
Cardui. OF this medicine j.,
W. Lawrence, of Corsicana
writes;
MY wife was tired all the
time and was SO weak she
could scarcely walk. | got
one bottle Of Wine Of Cardui
for her and before she had
taken all of it, she was able
to do all Of her houscwork."

Around nearly every town
will be found some young
men who spend their time
from one years end to the
other on the lookout for a
soft place. They have the
swell head too bad to 60 tC
work at anything that sol
their cuffs or raise a sweat
and no one has confidence
enough in their willingness
to work to trust them in po-
sitions of responsibility. On
the other hand we see young
men start out by taking any
kind of work that comes
along. If they fail to find
positions in a store or office
they 60 to the farms or fac
tories. In a short time these
young men are occupying the
best places to be found. A
willingness to do an honest
days work at any kline of
labor is a better recommend

eyes of business men than all
the high collars and tight
fitting pants he can eyer

Democratic editors who
throw Democratic literature

in sympathy with the cause

Possibly, but the question
might arise as to the genuine
ness Of Democratic literature.
If the Gazette refers to the
literature now being distrib.
uted by Coin Harvey in
which he calls for contribu'
tions of one dollar per month

in conducting a democratic
campaign for free silver, we
think the waste basket an
absolute necessity. The Ga
zet.e further says that those
not in harmony witE the

but there's no harm as we
can see in d'scarding that sort

which is sent out by a popu-
list rampant like Coin Har'

duty, and to do our best, will
educate in us temperance and
self.control, diligence and
strength of will, cheerful.

hundred other virtues which
the idler never knows. Then
let us 60 on, watchful to turn
