Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis.
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way 10
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is in6smed you have n rumbling sound or Inn
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an innamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

being vigorously pressed, and at no
time has there been any attempt TO
deprive the public of the fullest IN
formation as to the progress OF status
of such prosecutions, or as to any mat
ter in connection Herewith"
The secretary says that altho
only about eighteen months have
elapsed since the investigation was
commenced, the practical results thus
far attained are both gratifying ard
encouraging" These results included
the Indictment and arrest OF several
persons connected with the frauds;
stopping of further issuance of patents
upon the selection and entries lnVolv-
ed; complete breaking up of fraudulent
business of the conspiratorS; dlllgent
prosecution of the proceedings against
alleged conspirators." The secretary
further says: LAS an Immediate and
very important result OF the lnvestiga-
ton this gigantic combination ami
conspiracy has been broken UP and its
power for evil doing in the future
utterly destroyed AS further and dlt-
mate results, the fraudulent selections

of the secretary of the interior and Of

war His political models were Mark

der Whitney's direction he managed the
Cleveland campaign in New York, and
at its close he delivered the electoral
vote for the Democracy. 1t was lmme-
diately after that campaign that Whit
ney said of him: Keep your eye on
William F. Sheehan. He will be heard
from again
Mr. Sheehan was not at all disceur-
aged by his failu1 to make his TREND
governor of the Empire State in 1902.
He Immediately entered upon a new
and even more vigorous Parker cru
SADIE. His first concern was to interest
the leaders in the party. He succeeded
In enlisting the sympathy and cooper
alton of many of the most prominent
Democrats in his own state and then
| turned his attention to the country at
large. 1t was now that he launched his
successful Empire State legion"
scheme. He selected former residents
Of New York in more than a dozen
states. Mosteof them were young men,
bright and of a pronounced business
turn, who had never been in politics.
He reasoned with them until they be-
came enthusiastic over the idea of TAX
ing hand in the nomination Of a can
didate from their own state for presi-
dent, and they were the nucleus of a
band Of tireiess workers for the adj
vancement of Judge Parker. This leav-
en- distributed in every direction did not
fail to affect the whole political mass.
Even distant Alaska sent delegates to
ST. Louis instructed for Parker. They
were doing wonders in Texas long be-
fore the Texas delegation in congress
was in touch with the movement This
cleverly devised legion was so potent in
Ohio that there were eight personal
friends Of Sheehan in the delegation,
and this was not known to the opposi-
ton. These six friends formed the de-
Gliding force when the delegation decid-
ed to give Parker Ohio's forty-si votes
under the unit rule.

Las Vegas, N. NJ, Oct. 3.--Half the

flood and at least twelve persons were
drowned. Among these were the three
children of J. Fl. Stevens, Felix Villir-
ael, his wife. two sisters. and several
children, and O. #. Porter. j. II. Stew
ems and his Wife escaped and have
been brought here. They are In a
critical condition Many persons were
rescued from trees and house tops. The
greatest damage was around the juno
ton OF Mora and Sapelloire creeks. The
rock crusher, the great iron bridge and
much track at Waltrous were washed
away.
The Gallinas river formed a new
channel here. In the Gallinas canyon
the dams of the Aqua pura company
broke, bringing a terrific flood on the
city.
One hundred thousand dollars will
not cover the loss to the town and the
railroad loss is equal to that of recent
floods in Arizona.

Besides obtaining working influence
in the delegations, these personal
friends were keeping close watch Of the
movements of the managers of other
candidates. Through them Mr.. Shee-
han was kept informed of the strength
of the opposition in all parts of the
country. This enabled him to concen-
trate his effort on any particularly
weak spot. He realized that his can
didate was in a peculiar position. A
less clever man than Mr.. Sheehan
might have been confused under the
circumstances, but he proceeded with
out delay to adapt them to his own adj
vantage. It was known that Judge
Parker was a willing candidate, but he
had not yet been heard from. The
country was getting impatient to have
him speak. 1t is declared that Mr..
Sheehan was the only one Of his adj
visers who insisted upon silence. The
wisdom of his insistence is now plainly
apparent. No talking candidate could
have garnered the strength acquired by
that golden silence. The outcome at st.
Louis demonstrated that fact.
Mr.. Sheehan was born in Buffalo
Nov. 6, 1859. AS a boy he sold news
papers In the streets of his native city,
and he is not at all averse to hearing
the fact mentioned. His father was a
poor laborer, and the family was de-
pendent on his daily wages. Billy was
barefooted, redheaded and freckled. He
was also the possessor of pair of re-
markably blue eyes. In his early child
hood he acquired the sobriquet of
Blue Eyed Billy" and it has chung to
him with singular persistency until the
present time. He was also ferry boy
at one time Of his career and owned a
small boat, with which he used to con-
vey passengers across the narrow Buff
falo river. His mother saw to it that
he was tolerably regular attendant at
the public school, and he was regarded
as bright boy, with tendency toward
overdevelopinent in fun loving propen-
sity. He made SO much progress In his
