Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When the
tube is inAamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and, unless the inflammation 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 inAamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

BABY SCHANER

Mrs. Schaner's Letter, Published by
Request of Mr.. Geo. w. Putnam.

Mrs. Schaner writes; '0ur baby

sickly, and could not digest its food,
and want you to accept my sincere
thanks for recommending Vinol. The
effect was all we could hope for. After
the first dose our baby commenced to
retain its food, and since taking Vinol
has gained 20 pounds. We consider
this a remarkable record.
IN talking to a reporter Mr.. Geo. w.
Putnam assured him that this is only
one of the many cases that have come
to his attention where Vinol has re-
stored health and strength to children
after everything else had failed, and
in many cases actually saved lives.

FAMOUS
CRAP
SHOOTER
Is Sentenced to One Year In
the Penitentiary- Other
Cases

Department No, of the circuit court
was opened this morning and the first
case taken up by Judge Burnett was
that of c. H. Cook who was bound over
from Judge Turner's court to await
the action of the circuit court on the
charge Of larceny, it being charged
that the prisoner stole 500 belonging to
his roommate, q. Sampson, at the Pin
Gus hopyard. Cook seemed to have for
gotten the wild dream he had in the
other court about winning his money
at craps" and meekly waived time
to plead, pleaded guilty, waived time
for sentence and was quickly given
one year penal servitude, the penalty
for his crime being from one to ten
years.
A motion for a new trial is being
argued in the Ryan case this after
noon.

STATE NEWS

One of OregoR's oldest and most re
speeted pioneers has passed away.
Thomas Patrick Sheridan, of Rose
burg, died Monday, January 10th, at
the age of 81 years. He was a native
of ireland, and came to this country,
settling in Scottsburg, Oregon, in 1855.
Two years later he went TO Roseburg,
where he started the first hardware
business. He erected the first brick
building there, which is still standing.
He leaves four sons: Hon. r. r. Sher-
idan, president of the First National
Bank of Roseburg; J. c. Sheridan,
cashier of the same; John Sheridan, Of
San Francisco, and r. 8. Sheridan,
business manager of the Boise, Idaho
Capital News.
Jack Rogers, timber cruiser Of
Roseburg, was found dead with n bull
let wound in his body in one of the
blacksmith shops of that place Mon
day. The theory that he first killed
himself is now not substantiated, and
a great many are led to believe that
he was murdered
Stanley Ray, a Corvallis boy acci-
dentally shot himself in the arm last
Saturday while landing from boat
about four miles north of that place.
The wound was promptly attended to,
and no fatal results will follow.
A large section of timber land is
soon to be thrown open in Southern
Oregon and Northern California. AT
the expiration of 80 days from the time
Of advertising the land will be ready
for entry. The section covers a large
area of fine sugar and yellow pine tim
ber in Josephine county. In portion

ANOTHER SUPERB ORGAN.
Salem to Have New Pipe Organ, and
It Is Kimball, Purchased Through
Eilers' Piano House.

A business that is more than re-
markable is now being done in pipe or
gans by Eiler's Piano House. This es-
Establishment controls the agency of the
Kimball Pipe Organs throughout the
entire West, and, with its characteris-
tic vigor, attends to keeping their su
perior merits before the public.
During the early part of the winter
pipe organs were installed by this
house in two churches in Idaho. One
in st. Michaels Cathedral, the leading
Episcopal church in Boise, and the 9th
er in the beautiful NJ. 4. church of
Moscow.
And now, following close upon the
installation of another two-manual
Kimball pipe organ in Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, Eiler's Piano House received
the contract for the construction of an
organ for Salem, the city of music
lovers, who appreciate good music.
The order was given by the trustees of
the First M. Z. church only after the
committee had satisfied itself that all
that is claimed for the Kimball pipe or
gan is absolutely true. The different
makes were carefully studied and com
pared before the decision, which was
unanimous, was made.
Kimball pipe organs possess not only
by far the finest and most dignitied
tone, but also are constituted on the
only really scientific principle of pipe
organ construction, viz; what has come
to be known as the Kimball Duplex
Tubular Pneumatic System.
The Salem pipe organ win be built to
conform to certain special specifications
in order that it may harmonize with
the interior of the church building, and
will be finished in handsome oak to
match the woodwork.
Other noted churches in the West tC
whom Eiler Piano House has sold pipe
organs are:
Cumberland Presbyterian, Portland
st. Lawrence, Portland; st. Marks, Sc
attic; Trinity, Seattle; First Baptist
Seattle; st. Paul's Mission, Seattle
Humphrey Memorial M. E., Eugene
Church of Notre Dame, San Francisco
First Congregational, San Farncisco
First Congregational, Oakland; Firs
Methodist, Moscow; First Congrega
tional Bellingham; Memorial Baptist
Los Angeles; st. Michael's Cathedral
Boise; First Presbyterian, Butte; Firs
Congregational, Whatcom.

A TRAVELLERS
EXPERIENCE

A party of gentlemen were gathered
in the lobby of leading hotel the
other evening, when an argument arose
as to what Red Raven really is. One
gentleman, who was travelling for big
house in Indianapolis, ventured the as
sertion that Notwithstanding the ex-
tensive advertising,out Of five in the
party not three could tell what Red
Raven is, and to what uses it is put.
When the matter was put to a test it
was found that the Indianapolis man
had lost, for not only did they all
know what Red Raven was, but all
used it regularly. AS one of the men
said;
ct have found when travelling from
place to place, taking my meals at diff
ferent hours, sometimes on the train
and sometimes at the hotel, that my
system became deranged, resulting in
a sluggish liver, dizziness in the morn
ing lassitude and loss of appetite. /
had seen the advertisements of Red
Raven and chanced to ask a druggist
friend of mine what it meant. You
can imagine my surprise at finding Red
Raven was the remedy par excellence,
for Just such disorder as / was suffer
ing from. / tried a bottle before
breakfast the next morning and found
prompt relief. 1 learned that they
kept it not only at the drug store, but
at any cafe or hotel, and since then in
all my travels, when suffering from
headaches, indigestion or nausea, !
have been promptly relieved by Red
Raven"

its rules. Deficits were calculated in
unsurveyed townships, contrary to the
department decisions, which were well
known in the state land office, but the
clerk of the state land office used no
discretion and passed them on to Wash

would be disallowed, and that pur-
chasers would thereby be defrauded.

FALLS TO DEATH.
Cashier Swoons in Window-Wife En-
deavors VainIy to Save Him.

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-Notwith-
standing a desperate struggle of his
wife and son to hold him by the feet
after he had tainted and toppled over
the sill of an open window, George F.
Knapp, cashier of the Cooper Exchange
bank, fell to the street from the fourth
floor of his home today and was killed.
Mrs. Knapp and her son Herbert,
saw Mr.. Knapp, who was in i'll health,
suddenly fall over backwards. Both
mother and son jumped to the win
dow in time to seize the falling man
by the feet. They neld him safely for
a few seconds screaming for help, but
the assistance was slow in coming and
Mr.. Knapp's weight began to slip
ton of this terrible fact caused the
wife's strength to desert her COM
pletely.
The son, with his mother helpless at
his side, and compelled to mold his
father alone, was too light for his
fathers superior weight. Exhausted
and on the point of being dragged over
the window sill himself, the boy lost
his grip and Mr.. Knapp fell to the
street. He died soon afterwards. He
was so years old.
