Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only n way 10 cure deaf
ness, and 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 Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

SORE AT THE GOVERNOR
Treasurer t. t. Kelly Does Some
Scolding at Picnic.

Sedan, Kas, Sept. 1s.-The third
annual reunion of the old soldiers and
settlers of Chautauqua county closed
here Saturday afternoon The ad-
dresses were delivered by Congress-
man Campbell and State Treasurer
itics at all, and MI. Kelly only at the
close of his address, when he spoke
preSuma bly, of Governor Hoch and w.
r. Stubbs follows:
mot long ago we had reputation
as the dominant political organization
of this state. / am not here to debate
on the part / took in the revolution,
or the cause which produced it,
neither am 1 here to exhibit the black
and blue spots 1 received as a result
of it. 1t is sufficient to say that it
brought to the surface the Inexperi-
enced, the impractical, the sentimental
and the visionary. II, Hike the other
political revolutions of the state, will
soon run it's course. 1t forgot its
friends Immediately upon its assump-
its batteries and trained them upon
the friends who were responsible for
their being discovered. No man will
soon again direct the political forces
in this state who has demonstrated
his pability for leadership. and
who ambushed his own soldiers when
they had won victory for him, and
placed the scepter of political. power
in his hands.
mo matter to what political party
you may belong you demand these
things from your public officials and
political leaders,: First, you require
good service to the state; second, you
demand that they be faithful to their
party; third, they must be loyal to
their friends. No official or political
leader has ever lived long in this state
who has violated either of these pre-
cepts. None canf7o sosnow or in the
future. The first time the rank and
file get shot at him they will re-
duce him to the ranks or retire him
from the service"

PASSES TO coUNCILMEN.
Perhaps They Will Refuse Them At
ter While.

There is a chance for one of the
councilinen to make himself into local
prominence by Introducing an ordin-
apce prohibiting any member of the
city council or any city official from
receiving favorS, rebates, concessions
or passes from corporations, public
utility or otherwise. The city
ordinances al present do not cover this
ground and there is probably good
opportunity in Topeka for introducing
such a restrictive piece of legislation.
At present q number of the council
men and majority of the heads OF
city departments are riding on FREQ
tickets issued by the city street rail-
way company. In addition city Off
Gals and councilmen receive railway
passes for their midsummer jaunts to
cool mountain or lake resorts.
II don't think that it is a good poll
icy for the members of the city coun-
Gil to accept free transportation from
the street railway company" said
Councilman VIM. Green. ssI was offer
ed some transportation but I refused
to accept 1T. 1 don't think that it is
right. OF course that is a matter for
individual discretion, and each man
should take the action that he be-
lieves is proper But I don't see that

light company. If the Edison COM
pany should furnish us councilrnen
with free light there would be not
pdIllClS Ol Ot1G Is just Is
bad as the other. There is nothing
in the citN ordinances which forbid
us to accept such favors but 1t is not
nevertheless exactly the proper thing
to do
C. K. Holiday, councilman from the
Second ward said: "I have never ac-
cepted transportation from the street
railway. The only object that they
have in issuing such transportation is
because they expect us to feel more
kindly disposed to them when anything
comes up which affects them. There
is an object behind it. they don't do II
for nothing. L have always paid my
way on the street cars ard expect to
continue to do so.'
Councilman ]. w. F. Hughes: ct
think that the street railway company
has got about all they want or need
and I don't see what harm the use of
free transportation by the councilnaen
will make. They won't be asking for
anything more so there you are
guess all of the councilmen have free
tickets given them

HIT BY 80 SHOTS.
Poaching American Fishing Tug Rid
died by Shells.

Erie. Pa, Sept 18.-The fourth of
the fishing tug incidents of the past
week took place in mid-Lake Erie to-
day, when the Canadian cruiser Vigi-
liant riddied the big steam tug Harry
G.. Barnhurst with small shells from
the rifle ond the patrol. Captain Nick
Easel, of the tug, admitted after he
escaped that the Vigilant could have
sent her to the bottom if Captain Dunn
had SO desired. They ran more than
eight miles under full head of steam
before they crossed the boundary line
and escaped from the Canadians. e-
More than thirty shots struck the
vessel and of these fifteen of the small
shells landed with telling effect on the
upper parts so that the boat careened
to one side with the mass of wreckage
when she came into port. Having
been used formerly for pleasure
steamer, the Barhurst is of large size
and well fitted with steam equipment.
The fireman, Mangus johnson tainted
keeping the steamer going ahead. He
was reported killed, but revived after
reaching shore. Two fishermen were
cut in the face by splinters shot away
by the bullets.
The Barnhurst. according to Captain
Easel, was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets, when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Erie tugs, the
Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing so, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant.
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line,
regardless of strict orders from the
companies employing them, and hav-
ing exciting brushes with the Vigilant.
They never think of surrender when
there is chance to run away. The
Rarnhurst lost a large quantity of nets.

MADISON UNDER WATER
Verdigris OverfIows Bank and Flood
Raging In Lyons County.

Madison, Kan, Sept. 1s.-One of the
worst floods that has ever been exper-
fenced in Greenwood county is raging now.
Early last evening the Verdigris over
flowed its banks and half the city of
Madison is under water.
Great difficulty was experienced by
hundreds of people in getting from their
homes but it is not known at this time
whether or not any lives were lost.
Many of the telegraph wires are down
and there are no trains into the city
as the water covers the Santa Fe tracks
to a, depth of six feet.
The flood has played havoc with the
crops and stock in the surrounding
country. If the storms continue the
suffering among the people here will
become intense.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-With a black flag
flying from its masthead and the occu-
pants armed, sailing craft appeared
off the foot of Thirty-third street yester-
day afternoon and after battle with
members of the Douglass Yacht club in
which the latter were forced to appeal
to the police, weighed anchor and dis
appeared in the direction of South Chi
cago.
The appearance of the pirate ship,
the police say, was witnessed by scores
of persons on the shore and from win
dows in a number of houses. The vessel
dropped anchor less than a half mile
out in the lake and its sailors clambered
over the sides into a yawl and rowed
to the small building of the yacht club.
Carrying rifles and other weapons the
invaders gave chase to those sitting on
the porch of the building and pursued
them for some distance. Blows were ex-
changed and hand to hand struggles
were engaged in. but the persons who
comprised the. small party at the boat
house were routed.
When the first policeman appeared,
the pirates hurried to their yawI, row.
ed back TO their yacht and sailed away.
The police believe that the pirates
are youthful burglars who live In the
districts outside of the city and long
have been wanted for a series of rob-
berieS

BUILDING FORTS.
Turkey Is Laying Foundation for
Trouble With Russia.

Constantinople, Sept. 1S-The steady
progress of work on the new fortifica-
tions on the Bosphorus is causing fric-
ton between Russia and the porte.
The Notifications were hastily COM
menced at the time of the mutiny on
the Russian warship Potempkine, Tur
key seizing upon this pretext as a means
of carrying out scheme of fortifica-
ton which she had long desired but
which had always been opposed by Rus
sians It is understood the question
was discussed at the audience which the
Russian ambassador had with the sui
tan, the ambassador pointing out that
the further fortification of the straits
was Incompatible with friendly relations
between Turkey and Russia. Meanwhile
the works are being actively pushed
though they can hardly be completed for
several months. The porte continued it's
nreconciIable attitude regarding the
proposed condition of Macedonia.

MISSISSIPPI is UP.
Father of Waters Rose 1915 Feet in
Twenty-four Hours.

st. Louis, Sept. 18.=Heavy rains
and swollen tributaries have caused a
rise of over 10 feet in the Mississippi
river during the past "a hours, re-
sulting in damage along the river
front amounting to many thousands
of dollars. A vast amount of produce
and other shipping property along the
levee is still in danger. The river
stands this forenoon 23.O7 feet, a sud-
den rise of 1905 feet in "a hours. The
danger line is 35 feet. The water is
gradually creeping up and it is pre-
dicted that by nightfall the gauge will
show a stage OF % feet.
Produce houses and grain and cot
ton firms having consignments stored
along the levee have organized gangs
of laborers and endeavored to save
their property from being swept away,
but the suddenness of the freshet in
terfered to considerable extent.
Thousands of barrels of apples, many
bales of cotton, and in one instance
$4,000 feet of lumber, were swept
away. Men worked breast deep in
the flood intercepting floating mer-
chandise, and a fleet of skiffs manned
by men with hooks assisted in the
salvage work. City gasoline boats are
in danger of being swamped.
This marks the quickest rise in the
rivers stage since eleven years ago,
when the river rose IA feet in one
night

praisement board has been appointed

Secretary Samson Says No One Will
Lose Anything.

meeting of the executive board of
the state fair was held at the Office
of the secretary, Charles Samson, this
morning, and while it is not known
at present just what the financial state
of the association is it was unanimous
ly voted to pay all outstanding in
debtedness and all premiums without
discount This may make it necessary
to make a small assessment on the
membership of the association, but
the management thought that it would
be best to do this and maintain the
credit of the association. 1t will not
be known for several days yet what
the condition of the fair association is,
as there are large number of small
bills outstanding and there is some
money yet due the association which
has not been paid.
Secretary Samson said: 81 think
that the association will break about
even, and I am sure that there will
not be much of deficiency to make
up if there is any at ALL If we had
had anything like decent weather we
would have cleared up at a very low
estimate $4,000. For two of the days

it was impossible to get anyone out
