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
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infiamed you have a
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 condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Cataarh. which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur

1t Won't Roll on.

The egg of the guillemot is one OF
the most peculiar and furnishes an
admirable example Of the way In
which nature provides for the condi-
lions of life.
This bird is found on the coast, and
the eggs are usually laid on the bare
edges Of high rocks, from which posi-
ton any ordinary specimen Of the egg
would probably roll off.
But the %guillemot's egg won't do
this. 1t has been fashioned by nature
to stop on. The egg is nearly conical
in shape. broad at the base and sharp
a. the point, SO that it will only roll

A Itch gate Is a shed, generally Of oak,
over the entrance Of a churchyard, be-
meath which the bearers paused when
bringing a body for interment.
Here the clergyman met the body
and read the Introductory part Of the
burial service as he preceded the funer-
al train into the church. Examples of
old Itch gates are still to be see in
many country churchyards. In Wales
they are more modern and are usually
built of stone. I
Some of the old Itch gates are formed
with one wide door turning on a cen
trail pivot and self closing by means Of
q rude pulley wheel in the roof and a
stone weight inclosed in an iron frame,
q primitive but effective piece Of ma

In Herefordshire they are also called

FACTS ABOUT TAX ASSESSMENT
Secretary of State Defends Work
of State Board of Equalization.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
jefferson City. Aug. 22-In response to an
inquiry as to what he thought of the at
tack of a St. Louis afternoon newspaper on
the State Board of. Equalization. Secretary
of State Sam Il. Cook said:
Most people in the State feel that the
board did fairly well this year in the as
sessment Of railroad. bridge and telegraph
property.
''rhe assessment exceeded by 100000 900
the highest figure ever before reached in
the State the increase in some instances
being 100 per cent The fact. too. that
this class OF property Is valued by the
Missouri board from 10 to 90 per cent high
er than in any Of the adjoining States
would Indicate that the railroads were not
escaping their full share of the burdens
of taxation.
THE newspaper In question asserts and
reasserts that real estate and personal
property in ST. Louis is assessed at 20 per
cent of its actual value. while the street
one knows better than the paper referred
to that the statement Is not true.
1T has been claimed by the Board of
Assessors of ST. Louis that the real estate
of that city Is assessed at 20 per cent and
there Is more or less foundation for this
claim. This is done. as the afternoon paper
well knows. by the local authorities for
local purposes.
But personal property Is not only not as
sessed at 10 per cent. but II Is not valued
fourth. or. in some instances. at one-tenth
this figure.
The State Board of Equalization. against
whicf this afternoon paper rails. assessed
the street railways of St Louis at more
per mile than the actual cost of construc-
tion and equipment and then added a fran
chise value of $22.0g per mile. making a
total assessment OF SH.Oco per mile"

Transit Company Management Is
Said TO Be Contemplating Such
a Movement.
OFFICIALS ARE RETICENT.
Change Will Necessitate a Rear
rangement of the Schedules and
Routes of Several Other
Divisions.

The abandonment Of the Tower Grove di-
vision of the Transit Company's lines is
contemplated by the officials OF that cor
poration. Ii is expected that official an
Eouncement of the change will be made in
few days.
Transit officers are reticent about cir
culating information regarding 1t, but 1t is
a current topic among business men who
keep in touch with matters of Importance
in financial and commercial affairs.
The cessation of street car traffic over this
lire will necessitate a change in the route
of transportation. 1t is said the Fourth
street line will continue to run south on
Grand avenue 10 Arsenal street and thence
west over the Tower Grove tracks to Cliff
ton Heights. On the down trip the Fourth
street cars will run straight down Park
avenue to Eleventh street and thence over
the Tower Grove tracks to Fourth and Pine
streets. and will not turn north on ST. Ange
avenue. They will then go south on
Fourth street.
These changes will mean the abandon
ment Of the southbound Tower Grove line
from Union Market to Grand avenue and
Arsenal street. of the inbound Fourth street
line from Park and St. Ange avenues to
Fourth and Morgan strets. via Chouteau
avenue: and of the inbound Tower Grove
line from Grand avenue and Arsenal street
TO Eleventh street and Park avnue
Officials of the Transit Company seen
were not voluble as to the change. Corwin
II. Spencer said II would be discourtesy for
him to discuss IT while Mr.. Carleton the
president. was in the city. and Presi-
dent Murray Carleton would neither affirm
nor deny the report
You are the first one to bring me the
Information said Mr. Carleton to the Re
public man. las to whether l would know
anything about It were such a matter pro-
POSED, you may draw your own inference.

Health Commissioner Is NegOtiat,
ing to Send the Chinese
Leper to Hawaii.
NURSE TO BE DISPENSED WITH.
Sanitary Authorities Doubt That
Much Benefit Can Result From
Study of an Isolated Case
of LeprOsy.

Dong Gong. the Chinese leper. now under
guard at the Quarantine and Smallpox Hos
pital. may not remain a ward of the city
Of ST. Louis. Health Commissioner Stark
loft is making arrangements to have him
taken to the leper colony in the Hawaiian
Islands
Dong Gong gives promise of achieving
national distinction. Taken from obscurity
last week. examined by local medical au-
thorities. found affected with Ieprosy, and
sent TO Quarantine. Dong Gong's case has
elicted wide public attention. A special
house was built for Dong Gong. and a
special nurse was engaged to watch him
and attend to him. Doctor Louis Knapp.
the nurse. offered his services in order TO
have an opportunity to study leprosy in all
its transitions.
Dong Gong will go to the leper colony in
the Hawaiian Islands if the local Health
Department can prevail upon the United
States Government to transport him there.
Doctor Starkloff wrote yesterday 10 the
Surgeon General Of the United states
Marine Corps. asking If the Government
had any objections to this plan. A COM
munication has also been sent to the ply
sician in charge of the leper colony near
New Orleans. La. with the hope that Dong
Gong may be accepted there If he cannot be
removed 10 foreign shore.
In all probability Doctor Louis Knapp.
whom Assistant Health Commissioner
Charles W. Francis selected nurse for
the Chinaman, will be recalled. Doctor
Starklon believes that the regular at
tendants at Quarantine will be able TO give
the leper proper attention. and that Doctor
knapp's services will be unnecessary.
I'm considering the advisability Of re-
lieving Doctor Knapp of his duties" said
I'LL l. %g1l, 10
that science can be benefited by the study
of a single case of leprosy. We might as
well conclude that investigation Of one case
of consumption would afford information
of any value concerning that disease
To-day l wrote to the Surgeon General
of the United States Marine Corps, request
ing permission TO transport Dong Gong to
the leper station at Hawaii. l hope the
Government will grant the application.
similar letter was sent to the physician In
charge of the New Orleans leper colony. II
would be better for Dong Gong and for the
public If he were sent TO Hawaii.

Refuse to Discuss Speed of Cars.
Time Schedules. Tenders
or Accidents.
STATE REASONS FOR SILENCE.
President Carleton Declares That
the COrOner's Verdict i'm Lacey
Case Puts the Officials in
Court.

Transit Company officials decline to dis
cuss the speed required of their cars under
the time schedules. They will neither deny
nor admit that they violate the provisions
Of the franchise granted them by the city
through the Municipal Assembly.
A Coroners jury. in the case of Mrs.
Annie Lacey, who was killed by an EastOn
avenue car on Tuesday. held that the Of
ficials Of the company enforce a danger
Gus rate of speed and decided that these
officials were accessories to the death Of
Mrs. Lacey.
The Transit officials base their refusal to
talk on the claim that their case is practi
cally in the courts. and that it would not
be policy for them TO discuss their defense.
The company has considered large nUm-
bers of different tenders. but was acce2ted
none.
Assistant General Superintendent James
F. Davidson. who is acting as general SUI
perintendent in John Grants absente was
invited to discus speed and tenders through
The Republic yesterday. He declined to tolk
further than to say that no suitable fender
had been found.
Corwin H. Spencer also declined 10 dis
cuss any phase of the question, pleading
that IL would appear discourtcous while
President Carleton was in the city. Presi-
dent Murray Carleton also declined to talk
about either speed or Tenders.
Il cannot talk about it" said. "You
know We were held by a Coroner's jay to
be concerned in a death. We were held to
be accessories in fact. and in view of that.
1t would not oe policy for Inc to say any
thing"
The record of accidents on the company's
lines has been greatly increased curing the
last few days. Motormen claim that they
