SELIGMAN ITEMS.

Mir. Jerry Sullivan returned from Prescott on Sunday where he went to see some buyers.
 The persistent attempts made by certain persons to send their Gre grets" to Mr. and Mrs Bardell on Wednesday afternoon deserv e s nothing but condemnation from all goodly minded people. Why not be kind even if you are not invited to join the party? Such actions are apt to breed contempt.
 A surprise party was given on Wednesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bardell The Bar dell's were serenaded for fifteen minutes with "In the Good Old Summer Time" and other selec- tions; but this having no apparent effect, the party entered and took possession of the premises. Most all the town felt neighborly that night, and ''standing room only," was for most of those present. Ev- cry one had a good time and there was not a dull moment. Judge Ridge was master of ceremonies and did his part well.
 An informal meeting was held before the services on Tuesday night and the subject of raising money to build a church was dis cussed. It was decided to call a meeting on Tuesday evening, Jan uary 26th, when the following ques- tions will be decided, viz: Shall the church be made denomina. tional or kept independent as al present? Shall it be incorporated { What means should be taken te raise the necessary funds? In ad dition to discussing the foregoing questions, committees will be cleo ted to attend to whatever is neces sary to start the building at ar early date.

FoR the past month or more, the Bisbee Review has been running daily space of about twenty inches, asking contributions for the pur- pose of securing a medal for Bert Warner, who saved fellow min -er's life recently. The list now amounts to $60, and the Review wants it to reach $1O0. If the pa per values it's space at anything, it could afford to make up the deficit, rather than donate twenty inches daily to the cause.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach tbs diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. that is by constitutional rem.
edies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton 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
Catarrl, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

New York. June 22.-Eyidence of a
startling nature, which doubtless Will
have an important bearing on the Ill
innate result of the cOroners inquiry
into the General Slocum disaster was
forthcoming at the inquest
Perhaps the most unexpected Incl
dent was the continued refusal to an
swer questions OF Henry Lundberg. n
United States steamboat Inspector.
who was supposed TO have Inspected
the life presoryers and the hull OF the
Inflated steamer His refusal was
based on the ground that an answer
might tend TO incriminate him, and
he acted on the advice of his counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg TO
the house of detention but later ac'
cepted $500 bail for his appearance at
the hearing, which was satisfactory TO
the assistant district attorney.
Second Pilot Weaver, of the Slocum,
testified that he had purchased the
fire hose for that boat. and Mr.. Gar
vim introduced evidence 10 show that
the price paid was 40 cents foot
less 60 per cent. or 10 cents per foot
net
Don't you know that you can't buy
good fire hose for less than a dollar
OF a dollar and a half fOot?'
Il don't know anything about the
price Of hose. responded Weaver.
Weaver also declared that there had
been no fire drill on the Slooum this
year
Daniel O'Neill. who. according to his
sworn statement. had never worked
on a boat until he was hired on the
Slocum a short time ago, admitted
that he had jumped into a rowboat

oapsizing it, Asked If he saved any

doing that, and that he was not an
