There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

chan Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. and unless tn,

hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh

Bucks Fight Against Extradition Will
Be to No Purpose.

Washington, July pa telegram
was received at the state department
this morning from Governor Johnson.
stating that the sheriff of Blue Earth
county, Minnesota, had started from
st. Paul with extradition papers for
Alfred. Buck, under arrest in Havana.
He is due here tomorrow afternoon, but
no business can be transacted until
Monday, as the department will close
at noon. Department officials say there
need be no hurry over this matter, as
under eXtraditiOn with Cuba, Buck will
be held sixty days for delivery to
representative of the state of Minneso-
ia. Officials brand as absurd Bucks
claim that his apprehension was ile
gal, as he was in Cuba before the
treaty went into effect they say a man
can be arrested for a crime committed
in another country at any time after
the treaty is ratified no matter if he
went there before or after the treaty
took effect. The eXtradition treaty
with Cuba was ratified in February.

7. NJ. kerst, public examiner, will be
Buck, the Mapleton bank cashier, who
will be brought back from Cuba. Mr.
Kerst made the examination of the bank
two years ago when it had to close its
doors because of the manipulations of
its cashier
"Mr. Bucks manipulations were very
clever" said Mr.. Kerst yesterday. ''He
manipulated the deposit accounts of the
patrons of the bank in such a way that
discovery was prevented for over three
years.
His policy was to take funds from
one depositor and in order to cover that
up, if it was necessary, he would take
from some other depostor and place
the money to the credit of the first de-
position. BY constantly stealing from
Peter to pay Paul, he managed to Jug
gle the accounts until discovery was
only a matter of time. An examination
showed that he manipulated nearly ev-
cry account in the bank
"The exact defalcations amounted to
$2O,005.44. The depositors never lost a
cent, however, as this department levied
a 100 per cent assessment on the capital
stock. The defalcations were met in the
following manner: Assessment. $4,000:
surplus funds, 5000; other profits, $56l:
bond of Buck, $4,000; from A. A. Buck,
by attachment, $3.50.
''Buck always claimed that he had
been the victim of blackmailers, and
that he had given to one Chicago family

scuttIed Ship Saved Dam.

Mr.. Fosdyke, engineer in charge of
the Asaka dam on the Nile, scuttled
a ship to save his cherished earth
works from ruin. The dam partly
burst, and the great rush of water
was forcing the banks from below.
Something had to be done to stop
the flow, for a terrible disaster was
imminent. Mr.. Fosdyke boarded a
cargo steamer tied to the bank some
distance away, and, getting up steam,
steered her down the rapid stream.
When she was broadside on the
trembling dam the engineer had her
scuttled, and as she sank in the rush.

cheered themselves hoarse. The scut-
tied cargo steamer had saved the
dam! This remarkable makeshift for

QUAINT OLD CHURCH CEREMONY
blessing the Beasts" an Ann,
Event in Normandy.


One of the quaintest ceremonies
which may still be seen in some parts
o: Normandy is the "benediction des
bestiaux." The oxen, asses and a few
thoroughbred horses which are raised
in that part of France are assembled
il front of the little church. There
may also be a bullock two and
some cows. The procession of peas.
ants in their quaint costumes issues
from the church to the music of
chant which is droned by the priest
and people. The venerable cure
sprinkles a few drops on the heads
of each of the beasts, who receive ii
as it is given, with a becoming all
of conviction. When all the animals
have received the benediction bundles
tied up in coarse linen are placed
at the pedestal of the cross facing the
church. These packets contain bread
and salt, which are to be given to
the animals not able to attend the
ceremony. There may be a couple
OF hundred peasants taking part in
this ceremony and not a trace of lev
ity or anything but devout composure
is to be seen on their faces. When
the ceremony is completed the process
sion passes through the village chant
ing, and then disperses.

The Morning Costumes.

The skirts of morning costumes
will continue to be cut short, and they
will fit closely about the hips, but
tl.ey must flare a little below the
line of the knee. With the long coats
are worn the round skirts, either
touching or just freeing the ground.
These skirts are more becoming than
the very short ones unless a woman
has a pretty foot, and they are the only
ones that can be worn with the redin-
gotes. The very light weight broad
cloth will be worn well into the sum-
Eer, and tweeds, serges and coarse
canvases will come in for their share
of popularity.

RitS of Lace.

A bit of real lace will often con-
tribute greatly to the style of frOck,
and it is an excellent plan to rip from
the garments before they are thrown
aside any lace trimmings.
No matter how badly soiled, every
scrap of lace is worth saving.
And this applies to the limitations
as well as to the real, for if there is
only sufficient to trim stock collar
it may be used for that purpose very
conveniently and effectively on some
future occasion, and as lace does not
occupy great deal of space and is
not so popular with most as are many
other materials it may easily be pre-
served.
