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 inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S

Washington, Jan. S.-Mr. Henry C..
Stiff, speaker of the Montana house Of
representatives, was the first witness
in the Clark case before the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections Sat-
urday. Representative Campbell, of
Montana, questioned Mr.. Stiff and his
questions We're directed toward show
ing that the embarrassed financial con-
dition of State Representative Nc
Laughlin had been taken advantage of
by Senator Clark to approach him to
secure his vote and also that Mr..
Stiff's own vote had been improperly
solicited. Mr.. Stiff stated that he knew
that Mr.. Mclaughlin was in distressed
financial circumstances prior to the
meeting of the legislature. He also
stated that he had himself been APP
preached by Mr.. w. NJ. Bickford, as a
representative of Mr.. Clark, and his
support solicited for the latter.
Mr.. Stiff also detailed a conversation
with Mr.. A. B. Cook, former state aud
itor, who had offered him $4,000 to
vote for Clark. 81 made no definite re-
ply" said Mr.. Stiff, because wanted
to further investigate what was going
on. I told him." he continued, chat if
Mr.. Clark really wanted to secure my
vote he could afford to pay more than
100000 and suggested $4,000, saying
l did not want this to be understood
as an offer on my part. Mr.. Cook said
he would see Clark and we agreed to
meet again that day. 1 did not, how
ever, see him again on this subject"
He also said that as speaker in Sc
Letting committee of investigation
into the Clark matter he had not known
all the members selected were un-
friendly to Clark.
Replying further to questions con-
corning his suggestion of $4,000 as the
price Clark should pay for his vote, he
said:
Il believe was perfectly justified
In doing what I did. considered that
a most outrageous crime was being
perpetrated and I was willing to act
the part of detective.'
Fred Whiteside, Montana state sem
ator from Cleathead county, testified
that he had been approached prior
to and after the meeting of the legis-
lature in the interest of Mr.. Clark's
candidacy by John S. Neill, John B.

TRUsTTo coNTRoLAL
Combination, 1t is Said Will Buy
All Joplin Mines.

Information reached Chicago yester-
day of the proposed formation of a
combination to control the zinc out
put of the United States. Work on
the scheme has been begun and the
initial steps are being taken in Kan
sas City. According to one of the best
known mine operators in the country,
who was in the city yesterday, the
plan includes not only the control of
the mines, but of the smelling plants.
1t has been estimated by the promo
tiers that it will take in the neighbor-
hood of 800, 900, 900 to swing the UNDER
taking successfully and this amount
of money, with as much more as may
be necessary, is said to be ready to go
into the enterprise when the options
are secured.
The mining man who is authority
for the formation of the trust said
last night:
"The matter has progressed so far
that there is now no danger of its fall
ling through. The promoters have
been actively at work for some time,
but have so far made no move that
would indicate to the world what
their plan was. The formation of such
trust will result in the increase of
the price of zinc to a much higher
point than it has ever reached, and
one which will be barely inside the
price of import zinc. There is an al
mons unlimited amount of money
waiting to go into the scheme as soon
as the preliminaries can be arranged.
"The combination will be built along
lines similar to the Federal Steel COM
pany, which controls 80 per cent of
the iron output of the country. Ow-
ing to the segregation of the zinc de-
posts and the corresponding ease with
which they can be controlled tits esti-
mated that the new zinc combination
will practically control 100 per cent Of
the output. h2Chicago Record.

Consressman-Elect Roberts. of Utah
Vehemently Denounces Crusade
Made Against Him.

Washington, Jan. S.-When the Rob.
erts committee resumed its sessions
Saturday Mr.. Roberts went on with his
argument, begun Friday. He reviewed
the action of the constitutional con.
vention of Utah, urging that this carried
out the requirements of congress for
the admission of Utah as state, name
ly that polygamous marriages should
no longer be contracted In pardc-
ular, Mr.. Roberts commended, there was
no requirement by congress or in the
constitutional convention that pre-.
viously contracted matrimonial asso.
Citations should be interrupted.
In the course of his argument Mr..
Roberts said he had observed that the
ladies involved in this question of plur.
al wives We're quite generally received
in the circles of gentle ladies in Utah.
He yehemently denounced what he
characterized as the sensational cru.

effort to arouse public feeling by say.
