Quarrel Ends in shooting ARRAY and
One Death.

Ottumwa, May 21.-John Davidson
was shot Saturday night by VIII
liam Quimley of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, at a dance held at Two Mines
near Mystic. There had been a
previous quarrel between the two

of an opening of the old wound.
Quimley shot twice at Davidson and
the second shot took effect, striking
him in the body and passing through
the lower lobe of the left lung. The
shooting occurred about IL o'clock
Saturday night and the man died
at 1890 Sunday morning.
After the shooting Quimley went
with a brother to Centerville and
gave himself up. The coroner's jury
found that deceased came to his
death from a pistol shot fred by
Quimley, who was held to the grand
jury in $4,000 bonds, and not being
able to furnish same was sent to Jail.

EDITORS HERALD: Complying with
your request in regard to the state
ment credited to an ex-mayor Of Os-
kaloosa as made to the editor of the
Knoxville Express concerning small
pox in oskaloosa, | can say that / do
not know the gentleman, and so far
as / am aware never saw or talked
with him in regard to smallpox or
anything else. Furthermore | have
never made any such statements as
quoted to anyone in Knoxville, or
any place else, as / have heard of no
deaths from smallpox in Oskaloosa
nor of anyone being very sick With
it. In fact, all reports / have heard
have been that what few cases have
been reported have been SO mild in
lorm that many have been unwilling
to believe that anyone here has
really had smallpox.

EDITORS HERALD: The statement
of the Knoxville Express has been
called to my attention, and as I am
an ex-mayor Of Oskaloosa | wish to
say that such a statement never
came from me. l have heard of no
deaths from smallpox here, and from
the mildness of the malady, / have
been very Ioath to believe same was
even smallpox. What few eases
there have been / know have been
very carefully handled and have been
removed to solated~emergency hos
pitfalls and all danger of contagion re-
moved. Why the Express should
publish such a statement is beyond
my comprehension.

Tennis Championship.

Dias Ellis, representing Penn Col
lege, has again demonstrated ibis SUI
periority as a tennis player and yes
terday at the state meeting of the
tennis association in Grinnell he
captured the ] state championship
medal. This is the second time that
theyoung man has won the champion
ship. He took the honors at the
state meeting two years ago. The
meeting this year was held in Grin
nell aud on account of the Indictment
weather it was impossible to play out
of doors. ss& The playing was there
fore done in the new gymnasium
building and the best work therefore
was possible. In the singles Ellis
was easily the superior of any play
ers put3up against him. In the pre-
liminaries the score was Ellis of Penn
VS. Belden of Grinnell, GIL 60, and in
the finals Ellis VS. Moore of Cornell,
go GIL 1910.
Penn was defeated in the doubles
by Cornell in the preliminary game.
There were but three colleges repre-
sented at the meeting, Penn, Cornell
and Iowa College. In the doubles
Grinnell drew a ''by' and Penn and
Cornell were for the preliminary sets
and Penn met defeat after a hard
battle as follows, 4-6 go 2-6.
Cornell and Grinnell were then for
the finals with an easy victory for
the Cornell lads, 81 6-2 ga.

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 inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inlamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which il nothing but an inlamed eondi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.
