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 condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases Of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed 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 Catarrh Cure.

The Hero of the Mine.
From the salt Lake Herald.

Heber Franklin, a young man employ
ed at the Clear Creek mine, is as much q
hero as any man who ever braved death
on the battlefield. Franklin sought not
glory, but to save a human life. There
was a fire in the mine. The men were
called out. Then they were about to shut
off the air in order to stop the flames,
when it was learned that a lone miner was
working deep in the mine beyond the point
where the fire started and was then rag
ing with growing strength. Here is the
story of the subsequent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called for
volunteers to go with him into the mine
to rescue the man. Several attempts were
made by different ones, but they were
driven back by the flames and the cry of
Powder caused a hasty retreat. Finally
Heber Franklin, young man whose work
keeps him on the outside, said: II viii go"
And accompanying Foreman Thomas he
pressed on through the fire, and found the
man working away tamp.ng a hole, en-
tirely unconscious OF the danger threat

Much Light Thrown on the Mat
ter by j. w. Lee
In His Testimony Before the
Industrial Commission.
HUNDRED COMPANIES
Absorbed by the Standard Oil
In Twenty Years.
Easy Way of Evading Law
Against Rebates.

Washington, May 1.-THE first wit
ness to be called before the industrial
commission in connection with it's in
quiry into the operation of trusts, was
James W. Lee of Pittsburg, attorney
for several pipe lines and oil compa-
MES and formerly a state senator OF
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Lees testimony was
directed especially against the Stand
ard Oil company. q
Speaking of the effect of trusts upon
the customer, Mr. Lee said the ten
dency was to increase prices until they
become extortionate. Trusts were or
ganized to secure a monopoly and When
this was secured by closing up rival
Establishments they were in position to
fix prices which were according to his
observation, generally increased in or
der to permit dividends on watered
stock. This had been eminentIy true
of the Standard Oil company. AS an
illustration he said that when the Pure
Oil company in which the witness IS
interested went into the field in New
York in 1896 they found the Standard
selling oil at 91a cents gallon The
price was almost Immediately reduced
to 51z cents, and had remained there
since the reduction being to drive out
the rivals The first price was inOrdI-
nately high, but the latter was ruinous-
ly low and while the Independent COM
pany had met the reduction 1t had done
so at a loss
suited in a saving of fully $3,000.o00 to
the people of Great America. The same
condition of affairs existed at other
competitive points. Mr.. Lee expressed
the opinion that the Standard company
was still getting rebates from the rail-
road companies despite the law and he
thought this was accomplished by pay
ing exorbitant prices for lubricating oil.
He estimated that the Standard com
pany had within the past twenty years
absorbed about 100 independent COM
panies but that the companies with
which he was connected had refused to
sell at an advance of II per cent in
cost when they were about to be closed
been dictated largely by sentiment.
Now, however, the Independent COM
panies were doing a profitable business.
He knew of several refineries which had
been purchased at high prices by the
Standard company and then had been
shut down. He had also heard that
men had received a bonus to remain
idle, but he had no personal informa-
ton on this subject.
Mr.. Lee said the Standard Oil company
had made an effort to prevent the extern
sion of the business of the Independent
companies to foreign markets by buying
up the tankage at given points and by
selling at lower prices than prevailed even
in the United States. Still the independ-
ent companies were able to compete
abroad largely because in Great Britain
and Germany and in some other countries
extent than in the United States. In
Germany one was allowed to do bust
ness at a loss. The profits made abroad
was what enabled the independent COM
business in this country alone was un-
profitable.

ACROSS IN 22 DAYS.
Hancock's Quick Trip From Frisco to
Manila.

Washington, May 1.-THE trip of the
Hancock across the Pacific was a record
breaker. Up to this time the record was
twenty-eight days The Sherman made
the eastward trip and the Seneca and
Scandal the westward trip in that time
The time of the trip of the Hancock
was twenty-five days and the vessel
covered the entire distance across the
Pacific without a stop, being the first
one of the transports to accomplish that
feat. The success of the Hancock has
decided the department to do away with
the usual stop at Honolulu hereafter
in the case of all transports having coal
capacity sufficient to make the 1000
mile trip from San Francisco to Manila.
