their fight for county Offices.
The Optic states that Larson
practically admitted that he had
left the re-organizers' names off
the official ballot and replaced
them with the names Of the
regular Republican nominees.
Larson admitted nothing OF the
kind. Mr.. Larson did not say
that he would make haste to see
that the names OF the re.organiz-
ers would be placed on the official
ballot. Mr.. Larson bears the
excellent reputation OF always
attending to his duties, and the
Independent can assure its read
ers that he will do so in this case.
The Optic says the Independent
has been sold out for a period Of
two weeks to the Murphy gang.
The Optic lies.
The Daily Independent was
started for the sole purpose of
informing more readers with the
true state OF political affairs in
Minot. AS long as it is pub
lished, we will try to give the
true facts concerning the situa-
ton.

In the Optic OF Tuesday, there
appeared an article headed, "a
Startling Confession Of Auditor
Larson which was highly
libelous, there being not one
word OF truth in the whole thing.
The Independent suspected that
during the last days OF this
heated campaign, some one would
stoop to lie, but hardly thought
that it would be Editor thinner
man of the Optic, that goodly
man OF such high morals. But
it seems that even he can sling
the political mud as thick and
fast as anyone, and he certainly
daubed it on Tuesday night.
Zimmerman had better have a
care.
Larson was seen by an Inde-
pendent reporter this morning
and said: ''You may say that |
never made confession OF any
kind. | have none to make.
Make a denial of the whole affair -
The fact is that Larsen con-
fessed to nothing. The article
in question is a distardly attempt
of the Optic to defeat Larson,

Is Guest of Pickpockets.

A curious story is told in the London
Chronicle about a dabbler in literature
who has been studying the criminal
classes at first hand, and succeeded in
obtaining an introduction to "a select
circle of clever pickpockets," with a
regular meeting place of their own.
The first time he shared one of the
"social evenings" of this group he car
ried nothing in his pockets save the
money necessary to take him home. On
the next occasion he took some gold
with him, and on leaving the house.
early in the morning, found that it was
still in his possession, but on the other
hand, he missed something "of no val.
ne to anyone but the owner" a bottle
of morphia and a hypodermic syringe
HE FASTENED back to the house and
begged the member of the club with
whom he was best acquainted to gel
the missing treasures restored. But

The men liked him, and, knowing hi:

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or impe rfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube re .tored to its normal

nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
