Deafness Cannot Be 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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling e0und OF
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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by HALLS

An Informal Smoker,

The superintendent of the various
departments of the Northwestern Wire
Mattress works were the guests at an
informal smoker which was given in
the private dining room at Hotel Ke-
nosha Friday evening. The affair was
one of the most pleasant gatherings
which the men have ever enjoyed.
The table, at which sixteen guests
were entertained, was set in the dining
room on the second floor of the new
hotel. The table was arranged in a
very dainty manner, and was elabor-
ately decorated with carnations and
lilies. At each plate was placed a
dainty boutinere.
Dinner was served at 5 O'Clock.
After dinner the men lighted their
cigars and spent the evening in con-
versation. Among the guests present
was Secretary E. W. Cramer, of Chi
cago.

OLD CASE UP AGAIN.
settlement of the Collier Estate is Heard
Before Judge slosson

settlement of the Collier Estate is Heard
Before Judge slosson.
The old contest for the possession of
the property of Richard Collier, de-
ceased, is being fought over again, and
this afternoon in the County Court
before Judge Slosson, six of the best
known lawyers of Kenosha and Racine
counties are arguing the point of the
validity of the claims of Betsy Wood
ford against the estate. The case has
been IN the courts for the past four
years and on account of the large
amount of money sat stake it has been
holly contested.
The estate in question is valued be-
tween $4,000 and $l5, 900, and the two
claimants for the property are a
brother of the deceased, now living in
England, and Betsy Woodford, who is
alleged to have been an illegitimate
daughter of Richard Collier Collier
came to this city from England a short
time before his death and later be was
followed by the Woodford woman, who
had charge of the house in which Collier
lived in the town of Somers.
When Collier died he left no heir SO
far as the courts could discover until
finally Miss Woodford put in claim for
the property. In the settlement of the
| claim the real relation of Miss Wood
ford has never been brought out and
and she has sought to obtain a share
OF the estate by asking that bill for
for services be allowed.
The hearing of these claims is on
today and it is understood that if the
claims are. mot allowed the woman will
attempt to make good her claim to the
estate as the only surviving child of
Richard ICollier. No effort has been
made to divide the estate and it still
remains intact. Miss Wocdford still
lives on the old homestead and it is
thought that sheIwill finally succeed in
making valid claim for the estate.
The attorneys interested in the set
Element of the estate are Kearney and

UNDER THE WHEELS
LITTLE WILLIE SEARER is KILLED
NEAR THE STATE LINE.
STRUCK By A SWITCH ENGINE
The Child Had Lived at Minneapolis and
Was Visiting the Family of Section
Boss Baker When Accident Occurred
Remains Horribly Mang1ed.

A serious accident occurred on the
Northwestern railroad just south of the
state line Thursday evening, which re-
suited in the instant death of Willard
| Searer, the two year old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Searer, of Minneapolis,
MINI.
The little child had been visiting in
the family of John Baker, who is en-
ployed as a section boss by the road.
Baker lives just over the state line and
within a short distance of the railway
tracks. The child wandered away
from the house last night and in some
manner managed to toddle out onto
the track. The train was special,
consisting of an engine and caboose,
which was returning from Chicago.
The engineer saw something on the
tracks, but in the gathering twilight
he was not able to tell whether it was
child or a dog. An effort was made
to reverse the engine, but before the
train could be stopped the wheels had
passed over the body of the child and
it was instantly killed. The train was
stopped at once and the engineer found
the child lying on the tracks.
The little body, which was mangled
in horrible condition, was picked up
and taken to the home of the section
man and the coroner of Lake county,
Ill.,, was notified of the accident. A
jury was empaneled and an inquest
was held which resulted in verdict Of
accidental death.
While the little boy had been in the
neighborhood only short time, he was
a universal favOrite with the railroad
men and his horrible death has caused
great grief among the men employed
on the road in that part of the section
The remains of the child will be
shipped to the home of its parents il
Minneapolis tomorrow.
| No blame is attached to the railroad
company on account of the accident
as it was so dark at the time that il
was impossible for the engineer to see
the child on the track.

A HUGE FAKE.
No Orders Issued to the saloons to Close
at O'Clock on Sunday.

S$O0O
at 4 O'Clock on Sunday.
The Daily Gazette of yesterday
palmed off fake story TO it's readers
to the extent that some of the saloon
men are really expecting great things
to happen next Sunday. According to
the story in the Gazette Mayor German,
through his Chief of Police, has issued
orders to the saloonkeepers that all the
saloons in the city will be closed at 4
o'clock next Sunday afternoon.
Of course the story was fake and
no orders of the kind were issued either
by the Mayor or the Chief of Police.
These gentlemen when seen this morn
ing stated that there was no fOunda-
ton whatever for the story and that no
orders had been issued in regard to
Sunday closing.
The saloon men~~in all parts of the
city state that they have never heard
of such an order and do not think that
such one is possibility.
The object of the publication of the
fake story cannot be seen unless it is
an effort on the part of the Gazette to
place the Mayor and Chief of Police
before the people in an unfavorable
light. Mayor German stated few
days ago that he was not in favor Of
any half way reform orders and if be
decides to issue any orders to saloon
men they will undoubtedly be for the
enforcement of the law to the very
letter.
The rules laid down by the Petit
regime are still in force and from all
indications no changes will be made
during the life of the present city
administration.

SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY.
J. ". Puett of Carlin Stabbed Twice
by Antoine PiccaSSO.

j. w. Puett, one OF Elko county's
prominent citizens, was seriously
and perhaps fatally stabbed at Car lin
between = and o'clock Saturday at
ternoon. From what we have been
able to learn it seems that Autone
Piccasso, Portuguese, had been EN-
ployed by Mr.. Puett as a cook in his
hotel and had been discharged, but
was assisting Mrs. Puett in the kitch-
en- Saturday afternoon. While he
was at work an EngIishman, who had
been employed as a dish-washer, but
had been discharged, went into the
dining room and was ordered out by
Mr.. Puett. Piccasso told the En-
glishman not to go. A fight ems ued
in which Mr.. Puett used a rolling pin
on the heads OF Piccasso and the En-
gishman and drove them from the
house, Mr.. Puett then went after
Constable Mcintosh to have the men
arrested. When returning from the
Constable'e, he was met in front of
his place by Piccasso, who renewed
the quasrel. Mr.. Puett backed away
from him, at the same time telling
INN to leave him alone, and that he
did not want to lave any trouble.
Piccasso followed him and when
within reach stabbed Mr.. Puett I'M
der the left arm and as Puett, turned
around plunged the weapon into his
abdomen just above the navel. After
he was cut Mr.. Puett walked into the
dining room of his hotel and told his
wife that he was stabbed. DR.. Hood
was at once telegraphed for, but be-
ing out Of town, DR., Gardner and
Joe Taber went down on the first
freight train and attended to Mr..
Puett's injuries. The stabblng &C.
Cured fifteen or twenty minutes
after the difficulty in the dining.
room aud was undoubtedly premedi-
tated. The only weapon found on
Piccasso was common pocket knife,
upon which there was no trace OF
blood. Tt is believed that after the
trouble in the dining -raom Piccasso
armed himself with a stiletto and
used that weapon. A thorough search
was made for it yesterday, but it was
not found, Piccasso was arrested on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill. He was brought to Elko last
night and taken back to Carlin this
morning for preliminary examina-
ton. He is better known to the peo-
pie of Carlin as @Tony, the Dago."
Mr.. Puett's injuries are serious and
will probably prove fatal. The cut
in his left side penetrated the lung
and the one in the abdomen perforat-
ed the large intestine in several
places. The indications being that
Piccasso plunged his stiletto into his
victim and then turned it around.
DR.. Gardner is dong all in his power
for Mr.. Puett, but, his recovery will
be almost miracle.
From what we can learn Piccasso
bore very good reputation until he
got into this difficulty. Those who
have known him for years say that he
is not a drinKlng man and is not quar-.
relsome.
1t was reported ut 3 o'clock this
afternoon that Mr.. Puett could not
live much longer.
