ion of Frank D. Cooke as principal of

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

ON TRAIL OF SMITH.
CentraIia Murderer Believed to Have
Reen In YeIn

Olympia, Wash.-Sheriff McClarty
went to Yelm Tuesday to investigate
report that J. Smith. the Centralia
murderer, was seen there on last Fri
day and left the same day, going in
the direction of Tacoma. Frank
LOngmire brought the word TO this
city. He says the man did not act in
a manner to create suspicion. and as
little had been heard concerning the
Centralia fugitive, it was not until the
stranger left Yelm that the citizens
began to think he might be the mis-
sing murderer.
The man who appeared at felm an
SWered the descriptions of Smith III
the papers at the time of the murder
of Deputy Parsons was committed at
Centralia. He wore a light coat and
corduroy trousers and a long rain
coat.
Wore a Rain Coat.
The rain coat does not tally with
the description, although the other
clothing does. The stranger was
riding a wheel when he reached 9eIm
and entered store, purchasing some
provisions and box of 80 cartridges.
Smith, when he escaped, was carry
ing both 80 and a Is caliber revol-
yer. The stranger at Yelm said some
thing about the train in a manner
which indicated that he was trying
to make it appear that he was not
travelling on a wheel. This gave rise
10 the suspicion that he might have
had a wheel which was reported
stolen at Rainier the night before.

He took the wheel. however, and
left Yelm, walking down the railroad
track toward Tacoma. Less than q

said to have left the track. crossed a
field and struck the county road. dis
appearing in the same direction he
had been going on the railroad track.

Sponges and Black Paint for
Sleeper.

AS Ben L. Brantley was peacefully
slumbering in mis- bed over F'roome s
livery stable on Main street Monday
night. a skilfully thrown wet sponge
caught him in the neck, and made
him jump up in the belief that a
cloudburst had struck the town, says
the Pendleton Tribune. This was the
signal for four invaders of his room
to Jump on him, and while he was
held down they volleyed him thick and
fast with other wet spOnges until the
room looked like the lower end OF
Main street in a thunderstorm. Not
content with this kind of fun, one
of the four secured a pot Of black
paint, and with big brush artistical-
ly daubed Ben's countenance until he
resembled the end man in a minstrel
show. When the brush was pOked
into his left ear. the under man made
struggle. and succeeded in gaining
his feet only to be knocked down
by one Of his assailants using a va
lise as club.
Brantley made a hasty toilet AMI
rushed out to find policeman. None
of the culprits were arrested last
night, and this morning he applied tC
