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 mucus lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inflam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing: and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result and unless
the Inflammation can be 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 is nothing but an inf1amed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.

Judge Graham, OF Oxford said that

FOUND IN CORN SHOCK.
Prisoner Sings in His Cell and
Appears Happy.
Says He Is Innocent and An
swers All Questions.

Fort Scott. Kan, Oct. S.-The Tribune
says:
If Willie Stoltzman is guilty of the
murder of r. ]. Morrison he is a moral
degenerate of the most remarkable
character of any person in the annals
of local criminality. If he committed
the deed he is unmindful of the future
and apparently has no fear of what
is to come. That he is the coolest pris-
cner with whom the officers ever came
in contact there is no question. In his
cell, under guard he sings and whistles
as If he had fallen heir to a million dol
lars and was the happiest man among
the living. He answers all questions
regarding himself and the circumstan-
ces surrounding his case in a cool, de-
liberate, yet unconcerned manner. That
the circumstances look bad he does not
hesitate to admit, but above all he says
Il am innocent" When asked if he
wanted to be removed to another Jail in
another state he said: NO: I am inno-
be taken away"
A few days ago the officers, in their
search for evidence. found an old black
SLOUGH hat in a corn shock, between the
| Stoltzman home and the Morrison store.
| The shock was on a direct route that
man would have taken across field from
the Morrison store to the Stotzman house.
| The hat was saturated side with
| blood. and on the other side is some red
paint 1t has been identified as having be-
Ionged to the boys father, and as having
| been kept hanging in the kitchen at the
Stoltzman home. This discovery was kept
quiet by the officers, expecting to spring it
as surprise at the preliminary tomorrow
but it leaked out last evening. The hat
was taken to Stoltzman last evening at
the jail and he asked if heknew whose
hat it was. Without a tren1or in his voice
he said slowly:
| That's papa's hat"
| The state thinks this is the most dam
aging testimony it has. Foot prints in
the soil leading to>the corn shock were in
vestigated and it was discovered that they

Many Grounds for New Trial.

Morrison's attorney, in the supreme court,
fills 1.10S typewriter pages and is ex-
tremely bulky. The case is numbered 49,

There are Ice assignments of error. The
first one is that the trial judge erred in
not granting a change of venue. Nearly
all of the alleged errors refer to the ex-
animation of jurors or witnesses. The as
signments of error fill rs pages. It cost
$3.50 to transcribe the evidence.
The supreme court granted a stay of ex
ecution and fixed Miss Morrisons bond at
$4,000. Judge Redden thinks she will have
no difficulty in furnishing the bond As
soon as it is filed in the supreme court and
approved Miss Morrison will be freed
from the penitentiary. where she is now
serving her last sentence. She has already
had two trials The first time she was SEN
