Senator KING Of Baker county, was
given a most hearty and cordial re-

not 90 two blocks on the streets In

tinuous ovation from personal friends
OF all parties.
Mr.. King really came ITO Salem 70

ticket Of the Silver andReform forces,
and this was satisfactorily completed
before he did any visiting.
He was introduced to hundreds OF
Salem people in the afternoon and
his time was taken with other lawyers
until late hour at night considering
the law points raised about filing the
nominations. He was unable to at

The Man From Ireland.

William c. DaYies, the famous
Irish story teller with Jerome's Her
aid Square comedians in their latest
laughing success, "a Jay in New
York." is without doubt one OF the
fastest takers today on the American
stage. 1t Is impossible for him to
talk slow: nature timed him to 60
sixty miles an hour, and he is always
strictly true to time. He is always in
ulgh spirits, always travelling at a
break neck pace, and he tumbles one
good story On top OF another so quickly
that you are always wondering what
is coming next. Then too he has a
peculiar appreciation Of things funny
he has humor that takes hold OF
small things-he will work round on
TRIVIAL points that other people would
pass unnoticed, aud he will dwell
upon and develop that point until
what was originally side issue, turns
out to be an immense big joke. Opera

There is only one way to cure deafness

when il is entirely closed deafness is
the result, aud unless the inflammation
