were held today"
Mrs CIvburn had been at her

fortunate accident occurred. She
will have the deepest sympathy of
her many friends here in her sad

Senator Applet has prepared a
very long local option bill to be
introduced in the legislature. 1t
abolishes the state dispensary, and
leaves the management of the
liquor business to the several coun-
ties. 1t provides for submitting
to vote the choice of dispensary,
high license, or prohibition, with
stringent measures for the en-
forcement of the plan adopted.
Senator Appelt was one of the
strongest of dispensary advocates,
bat has become convinced that it is
. failure and will continue to be a
failure AS long as il lasts in, it's
present shape. Chester Lantern.

MENACETOPROPERTY
]. B. MAYER FILES A COMPLAINT
AGAINST BIG TANNERY CHIMNEY.
CLAIMS CHIMNEY rs IN DANGER
Telescope Examination is Made and Shows
Grant Fissures in the Structure About
Forty Feet From Top.-Not Known
What Action City Can Take.

John B. Mayer this morning made a
complaint to the city officials that the
huge smoke stack of the Aliens Sons
tannery was in danger of falling and
that it was menace to his property
situated on Grand avenue. The COM
plant caused considerable excitement
among the residents about the tannery
and careful investigation of the huge
pile of masonry will be made at once.
Mayer owns a house which is almost
directly under the big chimney and he
CLAIMS that it is unsafe for any one to
occupy the house as the chimney is
liable to fall at any time.
The statements of Mayer caused a
telescope examination to be made and
from this examination it appears that
there is some foundation for his fears as
to the safety of the chimney.
The structure is built of brick ard
mortar and is about 200 feet in height.
1t has been completed only little over
year and during that time it is
reported to have settled over two
inches.
The telescope examination reveals
that the chimney is badly cracked
throughout the entire upper part and
at about forty feet from the top the
breaks in the masonry are exceedingly
large and in some places it appears as
if whole bricks had been displaced.
The assures in the chimney are
especially noticeable on the west side
of the structure, while at point about
fifty feet from the top there is assure
extending across the entire south side
of the chimney. The north side of the
structure has not yet been examined
and it is not known in what condition
it may be. People acquainted with
such work were seen this morning but
all refused to give any opinion as to
whether there was any danger of the
chimney falling. If such an accident
should occur it would undoubtedly
cause a great loss of life and property.
The boilers of the big tannery are
situated in such a manner that should
the big structure fall it would strike the
boilers and cause terrific explosion.
1t is not known what action the city
can take on the subject and the out
come of the complaint filed by Mr..
Mayer will be watched with interest.

ROMAN ARCHITECTURE.
Teachers History Glass Held an Interest
ing Meeting with Miss Yule.

The Teachers History class of the
city schools was delightfully."- entertained
Thursday evening by Miss Maude Yule
at her home on Park avenue. The
evening was made more pleasant by
the presence of a number of the High
school teachers and other friends of the
hostess.
The subject for the evenings discus
sion was the architecture of the Romans
and several very interesting papers
we're read.
Mr.. Marlowe opened the subject by a
general discussion of the origin and
early history of the architecture of the
Romans. Miss Hazel Leonard read a
carefully prepared paper on Roman
Baths" and Miss Riley spoke on the
subject of Triumphal Arches and
their Construction"
A general discussion followed, after
which the hostess, assisted by her
mother, served dainty refreshments.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed You have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrhi
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by HALLS
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars

MAY ABOLISH RACING.
L. A. W. ofdcials are Now Discussing This
Subject.

The general feeling among League
of American Wheelmen members in
regard to the control of racing is that
the organization give up racing and
devote itself to the furtherance of the
good roads movement and matter per
tanning strictly to wheeling interests
outside of racing. The members,
however, do not feel as though they
should leave the racing interests to the
mercy of few individuals; that SO long
as the L. A. W. has taken racing under
it's wing it should make some provisions
for it before dropping it entirely. The
plan is now to organize an association
among the various L. A. W. consuls
about the country and let them con
duct racing independent of the major
body. Martin Rotier, chief consul o
the Wisconsin division, thinks that the
L. A. w. will eventually be obliged to
give up it's control of professional racing
and that the plan to form an associa-
ton of L. A. w. members to control it
will be good move.
