police of every kingdom of Europe have
for 10 days been unable to trace her.
The above official announcement was
made in order to obtain the aid of the
general public in finding the princess,

preferred to remain in retirement at
Salzeburg rather than to return to her
husband and children at Dresden can

The narrative of the events at SalZe-
burg during the night of Dec. 11-12 as
told in Dresden is that the princess,
who appeared to be in an unusually
tranquil mood, retired after the music
in the salon before II O'Clock. Three
hours later when a maid looked into
the royal bedchamber. something in the
appearance of the bed prompted her to
go closer and examine it. Instead OF

At dawn the police of SalZeburg were
informed of the disappearance and in

whole countryside, but with no tangible
result A number of what had seemed
to be traces of the princess were shown
to be without foundation upon careful

The disappearance of the princess
will doubtless cause the circulation OF
many stories. II is already related that
she eloped. but inquiries made here
have brought out nothing to substanti-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed 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 nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
