honor of General Grant, and a
meeting of number of representa-
tive citizens was held this morning

the purpose of making definite ar
rangements. 1t was decided to ten
der reception to the general and
his staff tomorrow, Friday, evening
at the opera house. A general COM
mittee was appointed, which will
designate the various sub-commit-
tees. Various other preliminary
matters were settled, and those in
charge have gone actively to work
in the matter. Invitations were or
dered, and will be issued this even
ing.
Those appointed on the general
committee OF arrangements were as
follows: S. L. Dworman, J. A.
Browne, F. E. Daily, F. ". Kibbe,

assist in making the reception a
success.

Out o the Guard House Again

Private Henrichson of Co. B,
4th. Infantry, who was sentenced
to four months in the guard house
for allowing a prisoner, Private
Howell, whom he was guarding to
escape, is now out again. Young
Henrichson is only nineteen years
old and had been in the service
about two months at the time,
never having been disciplined. He
is also quite small, while Howard
was much larger and longer in the
service. Howard got young Hen
richson into conversation, APP
preached him and, in an unguarded
moment, overpowered him, taking
away his gun. In a second he un-
did and took out the mainbolt Of
the gun, leaving it useless, and
thus made his escape. Had Hen
richson been an older soldier, he
would have gotten a year and a
bob" but his youth and mex
perience caused a more lenient sem
tence to be imposed upon him. He
is glad to be out and on duty again,
and says he will never again allow
a prisoner to get within ten PAGES of
him.

There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused V an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flannel you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will BIO destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous sur

MILLIONAIRE HEARST.

mtI-tiOlNAiNE IiEANS1.
William Randolph Hearst,
just elected To Congress from
the Eleventh New York district
is understood to be grooming
for the Democratic Presidential
nomination i'm 1904.
He will make his campaign
as the candidate of the labor
forces and all other forces OPP
posed to Trusts.
With these elements behind
him, he thinks not only that he
can capture the nomination,
but defeat at the election any
man whom the Republicans
may place in the field. This
in or nation does not come di-
rectly from Mr.. Hearst. but
from persons who bear the
closest confidential relations to
him.
Mr.. Hearst has been in Wash
ington for several days, resting
from the campaign through
which he has just passed.
When this talk was mentioned
to him Monday he smiled. and
said
Il take the same view of a
Presidential nomination that
must be held by every real
American, and that is that it
is not an honor to be refused
by any one.
You say it is said that the
proposition to name me as the
Presidential candidate two
years from now appears to meet
with favor among laboring peo-
pie. If so, | am very glad
of it, not only for the rea-
son that | might help to CRAFTY
any ambition which | may be
held to cherish toward the Pres
idency but because it indicates
that the much | have striven
to do and the little that | have
accomplished for American
labor has been appreciated by
those whom | sought and still
seek to aid.
This labor question has
not been a fad with me. As
a large employer of labor
for years | have given the
subject all the consideration |
was capable of, and | think the
fact that | have never had any
serious difficulty with my en-
ployes is in some degree attribu-
table to the fact that | have
tried to put into practice some
of the theories | hold"
Mr.. Hearst's political friends
say that his coming to Congress
presages "A more active partici-
patton than ever on his part in
the deliberations of the nation
al Democratic party. They say
that but for ex-senator Hills
espousal of the cause of Coler,
the newspaper proprietor would
have been nominated and elect
ed Governor of New York. a
move in that direction, they
claim. was on the boards.
And if he had been chosen
the party's nominee" remark
ed one of his intimates Monday
he would have won out. He
never is defeated in anything
he undertakes. There is now
no one left of the Democratic
leaders to whom the party can
look to lead it in 1904. except
Mr.. Hearst. He is not only an
adroit politician, as the carry
ing of his district by II per
cent, of the total vote indicates,
but he is a multi-millionaire,
and money is not a thing to be
despised in carrying on "a ma
tional campaign.
1--WE believe that with the
labor votes he would carry New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey
Illinois and California to start
with, and if he should do that
there would be enough elector-
al votes from the other States
forthcoming to make him a
winner. "
