PROMPT DECISION WANTED.

THE HERALD'S CORRESPONDENT
/ in Washington indicates in his dis
patches that the Burrows committee
may not render final report to the
senate in the Smoot case until after
the presidential election, in order that
# may not have any bearing on the
campaign" II such a programme is
under serious contemplation the peo-
pie Of Utah, Irrespective of politics or
religion, ought to make a vigorous pro-
test. Only one object could be in view
by those who talk OF delay in the case,
and that is chance 20 Use the COM
mittee's finding as a club for party
purposes with which to beat the Nor

The Foolish Young Woman.

There was a certain young woman
who used to be seen frequently in the
company of a young man whom her
friends called a dead one This was
because the young man worked at his
job every day and never bought her
any bonbons, or sleigh rides, or the
atre tickets. etc. One day she married
the young man and they kept no, hired
girl. They did not go out much and
they never entertained. oh said all
the wise girls. shes big fool
would never bury myself for life tied
to slow one like himi" But the fool
ish young women kept quiet and
worked right along around the house.
while the dead one kept plugging
away at his job. What shame il
was for her to throw herself away like
that said the wise girls year or so
after the marriage. But the foolish
young woman did not express regrets.
Some twenty years later one of the
wise girls was walking down town from

Possibly Russia persuaded Turkey to
put the price on passage through the
Dardanelles so high that Russia could
not pay it, thus saving several war
ships.
Japan does not accuse Russia Of ly-

person has stolen the supply of truth
Russia had on hand.
We believe that committee is asking
a lot of fool questions. For instance,
what was the sense of asking Mr.. Jen-
sen If he had been sealed for eternity

Deafness Cannon ne 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 infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the res ult, and unless the inflamm alton 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 intiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
