THE MONTANA enquiry
Details of Arguments by Opposing
Counsel Agreed Upon.
The senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections Adopts Programme
GiarE Ease - One Two of the
Witnesses VIII he Detained.

The Montana Senatorial enquiry was
practically closed yesterday. There are
no more Witnesses to be examined on
either side: but it is possible that he
committee may still call one OF TWO.
At least that suggestion has been made
By Senator Hoar, who has acted as chair
man for the last week in the absence Of
Senator Chandler, who is III. The eXsmi-
nation has been in progress with but few
inteTmissions since January s. and the
testimony taken fills four large printed
volumes, containing in all about $500
pages.
When the Committee on Privileges and
Elections met yesterday morning there
was an Interchange Of views between the
committe and counsel as 10 the time 10 be
allowed Tor preparation OF the closing ar
guments Mr.. Hoar stated It to be the
desire OF the committee that there should
be carefully prepared printed briefs on
each side. and that oral arguments should
afterward be made.
Mr. Edmunds on the one side, and Mr..
Faulkner On the other. concurred in that
suggestion. and a period OF two weeks was
allowed fur the preparation Of the briefs
As 10 the oral arguments the committee
assigned six hours for each side-thc anti
Clark lawyers to have the right to open
and close
After a private consultation Of the com
mttee the definite arrangements were an
nounced by Mr. Hoar in these words:
The oral arguments shall proceed on
Tuesday March 20, at 1880 in the fore
noon. The committee has made no order
requiring either party to furnish copy
OF its brief TO the other, but it might be
well for counsel to agree to do sO-also
to furnish copy to each member OF the
committee. Counsel on both sides sig
niied their assent.l One or two witnesses
will be detained, in case the committee
may deem il desirable to examine them
further"
The conclusion Of the case attracted lit
tie attention. owing to the announcement
made on Friday that the business Of sat
urday would be simply to determine the
time and order of argument.

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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when
il is entirely 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 intlamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
