SOCIALISTS are still making them
selves heard in the German Reichstag,
and Won Vollmar's attack upon the
government Yesterday was bitter and
his reference to Emperor Williams dis
mitch to President Roosevelt significant.
Among other things the speaker said
thai socialists by no means see their
ideal in American conditions, republl-
can capitalism, the speaker declaring,
was no better than monarchic. There
are many things in the United States
that are improvements upon European
conditions, among them the absence OF
compulsory military service. But
socialists are hard to please and still
harder to understand. During the Hay
market turmoils in Chicago in 1886
a German, who entertained certain
vaiical opinions concerning political
economy, came to this country, but soon
became dissatisfied with the order OF
Thugs as he saw them, and concluded to
return to the fatherand. One of his OBJ
servations was to the effect that this
country was 10 better than Germany,
as rich people were allowed to retain
thar nOssessiOns here as in the old
cnunlrV.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 10 1904

DrsPATcHEs from the East show that
,bo Japanese paid dearly for the advanta-
geous position they now occupy near
Port Arthur. They were literally
moved down by hundreds in their as

ss;d 10 have made desperate rushes over
the bodies OF their dead in renewed at
tacks after having been forced back by
tbe Russians. The captured trenches,
III. aid were veritable bells under the
Russian shrapnel FIRE. The horrors OF
war we're never in the history OF the race
more vividly in evidence than In the
sanguinary conflict now in progress In
the East. Both nations engaged IN the
st,uycle seem determined TO keep IL up
uo,il the last man has been killed or
randered hors de combat and the last
cent expended Should Russia emerge
victorious she will have paid dearly lot
Mancburia and many years will elapse
before the nation can recuperate. shouid

Muscoyites out of the coveted realm an
equally long time will have elapsed De-

condition they were year ago. Both

The extraordinary circumstances in
connection with the exploits of Mrs.
Chadwick ill many columns Of the prin-
ciple newspapers Of this country, and as
the search.light is to be brought to play
on her numerous transactions the case
becomes more and more remarkable.
There is doubtless much the public will
never learn, while there is every reason
to believe that the woman has confed-
crates. most Of whom will, if possible,
keep in the shade. 1t is now thought
that the Andrew Carnegie whose name
appeared on certain checks is that of
some obscure individual and not the
muiti-millionaire, and that Mrs. Chad
wick will eDdeavor to escape the meshes
Of the law by making him the scape
goat.

Rough Initiation.

Twenty-three young women, being initiated
as members of the lite class at the Art Insti-
tute in Chicago, were span ked before an audi
ence of 400. The candidates had been given
to understand that the initiation was a replica
Of the times when the Knights Of the Round
Table iourished, and they were brought in
attired in velvet doublets and gunnysacks
neither garments. Arranged in front Of the
sir knights were 70 chairs turned down and
end to end The candidates were instructed
10 crawl half way through these arches in or
der to be knighfed, but instead Of being
touched with sword their guides applied
spanking apparatus with much vigOr and
manifestations of unlicensed glee. The solemn
portrait Of President Harper, Of the Uniyer-
sity of Cnicego, which viewed the scene from
the walls of The lodgeroom, is said to have
trembed when the action took place The
new candidates had been promised something
quito original in the way Of imitation, and all
admit they got it.

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 con-
st;tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can 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 infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that CEN
not be cured by Halls Catsrrh Cure. Send
