Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications 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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. nine
cafes out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous services.

for any case of Deafness Caused by

WILLIAMS TAKEN TO OREGON
Murderer Of Two Women Is
Nervous, Will Not Talk.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Feb. 12.-
Sheriff Sexton, of The Dallas, Ore,
left here at o'clock Wednesday with
Norman Williams, under charge
there of numbering Miss Alma Nesbitt
and her mother in March 1900, and al
SO under indictment in Portland, Ore,
for completely in the federal land
frauds in that state. Williams. was
nervous this. morning. but continued
in his refusal to discuss the case.
Williams was permitted to talk a
few minutes with Mrs. Givney, the wo-
man who has shown so much interest
in this case. and their parting was
fearful one on her part. Like Will
liams. she refused absolutely to talk.
According 10 Sheriff Sexton the Civ
ney woman appears in various places
in Williams career. He says that she
accompanied him to Portland during
the latter part of last December and
there made statement to the United
States district attorney that she wit
messed Miss Nesbitt's signature to the
REIMBURSEMENT of their claim, and of
which Williams afterward took half on
the original entry. The government
alleges that his REIMBURSEMENT was
forgery committed by Williams and
to cover the murder of Miss Nesbitt
and her mother.
Sheriff Sexton says that it is claim
ed that Williams has been married
seven times, but so far the sheriff has
record of only four. One of these
was an alleged illegal one. and after
leaving him this wife resided iii Sc
attic for a time. This marriage was
contested in 1896.

MERCHANTS SENT TO JAIL
Seattle and San Francisco CIothiers
Sought by Federal Court Officers.

TACOMA, Feb. 12.-Wednesday af-
ternoon Federal Judge Hanford, in
the bankruptcy proceedings against
Samuel Isaacs. clothing merchant of
Seattle, and Alexander Isaacs, clothing
merchant, of San Francisco adjudged
them guilty of contempt in disobeying
the courts order and ordered them
sent to Jail until they paid certain
moneys to their creditors. Neither Of
the Isaacses were present and war
rants were issued and their arrest
will follow
The case dates back to 1902. At that
time the Isaacses made an assign
nient for the benefit of their creditors.
A large number of their creditors re-
fused an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy. A meeting of these cred
itors was held and trustee appoint
Led.
The referee reported to the credi-
tors that Samuel Isaacs had goods and
-chattels to the amount of $1,000 he had
made no report of, and that Alexander
Isaacs likewise had $1,000 in goods and
$1,000 In cash.
Referee Worden ordered the two to
pay to the creditors $4,000. The Isaac
brothers refused and appealed to Judge
Hanford. He confirmed the decision
OF the referee in August, 1902. E
Recently the trustee reported that
the money had not been paid, and an
. order was made requiring the Isaacses
f0-show cause why they should not pay
the money or be held in contempt.
In his opinion today Judge Hanford
stated that there had been a certain
amount of property .unaccounted for
that the Isaacses were asked to &C.
count for it and had refused to do 90
and had refused to make an explana.
ton. The court held that the books
kept by the Isaacses were just such
AS would be kept by people who were
inclined to be dishonest. &.
In conclusion he ordered that botl
men be arrested and placed in tn.
Pierce county jail and kept until the,
paid the money as ordered.

Carmine Pettinato, Young italian
who was sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary about one year ago
from Spokane for statutory rape, was
paroled by Governor Mcbride Wednes-
day. Tony F'ilignio, an Italian saloon
keeper on Main avenue in Spokane,
agreed to stand as his first friend
and to see to it that he is kept employ
ed.
Young Pettinato was. in love with a
young girl in the Italian colony. Her
parents objected to the match, and
they ran away to Hillyard and spent
the night together there without going
through the formality of marriage
ceremony. Then they notified the
parents where they were, and offered
to return If given a promise of for

Use, the parents had Pettinato arrested,
the girl being under age, and he was
sentenced to three years in the peni-
Tertiary.
Governor Mcbride investigated the
case on the occasion Of his recent visit
to Spokane, and concluded that there
was no very serious. criminal intent
on Pettinato's part. He told the
young mans friends that he would
parole him at first, and, il he behaved
himself and worked hard. would give
him a full pardon before the. expira-
ton of his three year term.

UNCLE JoEg NEW FovEscoAT
Paid SIS for t-His paushtsr eai4
the Remaindbr.
(washington Post. )s

Uncle Joseph Cannon. the speaker
Of the house Of representatives. has
purchased brand-news overcoat, and
thereby hangs an interesting tale. II
iall reports are true.
Uncle Joe" has never been ac-
cused of being q, fashion plate when II
comes to wearing SappareL His
clothes have always been neat, but
plain, and never OF an expensive kind.
When it comes to overcoats his init
mate friends declare he never paid
more than SIS for garment. and q
ready-made one, at that. He is known
to practice equal economy in the buy
ing of his business clothes.
The overcoat that "Uncle Joe" had
left over this winter from several sea-
sons began to show considerable wear.
Miss Cannon, his daughter, thinking
her father should present d little bet
ter appearance since he had been ele-
waited to the speakership, set out one
u1y ICCCHlAy " SCACStsd liz" ONCASOSAS
for him. Passing fashionable haber-
dasher's establishment on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, she spied an elegant coat
hanging in the display window.
Well my father never pays more
than SIS for his coats, but want him
to have this one" she said. Miss Can
non, according to the story that is go
ing the rounds of the capitol, told the
clerk that she would have her father
him it's price was but SIS, and that she
would pay the difference.
That evening when the speaker
reached his abode, his daughter told
Of the coat she had selected and asked
him to get it the following morning.
He did, &c. and bought it for SIS.
Arriving at the capitol attired in his
new purchase the speaker went to the
appropriations committee, room. There
he was greeted by Representative
,Hemenway, of Indiana, and other
members.
my gracious, Uncle Joe, aren't you
putting on lots of style here Of late?
That's fine overcoat you have on. !
don't understand how you can afford
to be so expensive and fastidious In
your habits" said Mr.. Hemenway.
This is good coat at a cheap
price," remarked Mr. Cannon, as he
Strengthened up and buttoned the coat
it's full length in an apparent manner
of great satisfaction and pride.
TT must have cost you at least $40
or $50, Uncle joe" said the Indiana
congressman.
This is a bargain overcoat: only
cost me SIS proudly replied the
speaker. M
It'll give you $35 for it," said Mr..
Hemenway, reaching deep down for
his wallet.
"Tll take it," answered the speaker,
who was then peeling off the overcoat
as fast as possible.
For some reason or other the Indiana
statesman did not buy the coat; but II
he had, the members Of the Cannon
family would have suffered an expen-
sive joke. 1t is not known whether the
speaker has yet found out the real,
actual cost of his fine coat.
