Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition, of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed 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 inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

One the 40 Laborers Washed
Away In Florida Storm,
Is Rescued
TELLS STORY OF HORRORS
The Man Was Picked Up by Liner
From Galveston to Liverpool, After
Floating Sixteen Hours, Without
Food or Water, and In Imminent
Peril Of Death.

Liverpool, Nov. with the arrival
here, of the Harrison liner Barrister
from Galveston, it was learned that
one more of the supposed victims OF
the terrible tornado which swept
Florida on October 8, had beer

On board the steamer was Thomas
Anderson, who was swept out to sea
on a barge during the storm. He was
picked up miles off the Florida coast,
after he had endured hardships and
suffering which rival those of John
Russell, who was landed in New York.

which picked him up after he had been
thirty-six hours on frail raft.
Anderson chung to a single log fo:'
over sixteen hours before he was res
cued. Buffeted by the waves a score o..
times, he was on the verge of giving UP
in despair and cutting the rope with
which he dashed himself to the log,
preferring death at once to the linger-
ing torment Of his awful position.
When picked up he was so weak that
fears We're entertained for awhile that
he would die. He rallied, however,
and was in apparent good shape when
he landed here.
His story is a tale of the horrors OF
shipwreck which has seldom been
equaled. He was one of the 40 labor
ers washed out to sea on a houseboat
which had been anchored off Long
Keyes. The storm swept on the little
isle and near which the houseboat was
anchored without warning. Before the
occupants of the boat realized thei.
danger they We're far out on the sea.
The shaky craft, which had never been
intended for anything but housing tn 2
men in quiet waters, could not long
Withstand the waves, and it soon went
to pieces. Anderson was able to pick
out good-sized log to which he LASH
ed himself. When the frail houseboat
finally collapsed the log kept him
afloat.
For the sixteen hours he was lashed
to the log and in imminent peril OF
death, he was absolutely without food

New York, Nov. 6.-With a specisi
meeting of the directors of the Illinois
Central railroad called for Wednesday
and President Stuyvesant Fish appar-

the hands of e. H. Hartman and the
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. interests, it was
predicted by his friends and support

matter before the stockholders next
October.
It is pointed out that while the Har-

IN THE PERSIAN DESERT.
Curious Way In Which Water IL Pro
cured For Yezd,

Curious Way In Which Water IL Pro-
cured For Yezd.
Almost in the center Of Persia lies
Yezd, a city Of perhaps 10000 people.
on the great caravan route. 1t is city
of the desert says the author Of Give
Years In Persian Town." but how
complete that desert is and how large
1t is hard to realize.
In going from the Caspian sea to
Yezd one sees strip of green country
thirty miles wide along the sea and
another twenty miles in diameter
round Teheran Aside from that there
Is nothing but waste.
The desert In Persia, however, Is Of
many kinds. There are places where
the ground Is absolutely bare except
for the thick crusts of salt that lie
like snowdrifts, streaking the plain In
every direction There are also places
equally salt where the proximity Of a
certain amount Of useless water pro-
duces larger quantity Of plant life
than In the ordinary desert. For the
rest there is vast waste Of sandy
patches and of gravelly soil, fertile
enough when water can be brought to
It, sometimes fecked with dry, brown
ish shrubs, sometimes quite bare.
Two desert plants never touch one
another. In the most favorable places
two very tiny shrubs may be found
within two yards OF each other. but
with a single exception one does not
see on the central Persian caravan
route place away from the hills
with enough natural growth to modify
the color Of the distance.
Even in the GASES no seed comes up
that Is not purposely sown; no plant
seems to have any association with
the rest. One fixes the eye on each of
them individually as upon a single
unit, not as on part Of field or a
garden.
The water for these cases is brought
by the most difficult means magma
bic. 1t Is found In abundance at the
foot Of the mountains, perhaps 300
feet underground. When a well has
been sunk and plenty Of water found
a hunt Is made for the nearest place
in the desert which is lower than wa.
ter level in the we'll. Such a spot is
Yezd, thirty miles from the sources
which water 1t. In line with that
place other wells are sunk thirty or
forty yards apart, each shallower than
the one before, and then from the Sc
lected site q tunnel is run in to the first
Dit. from that to the second, and SO on
back to the wells, even though they be
forty miles away. Through this I'M
der1round channel flows the life giving
water.
Sometimes 1t happens that sudden
hard rain falls in this desert country.
1t brings many disasters, for the sun
baked mud roofs Of the dwellings are
caved in, their walls are washed away,
and other damage is done them. But,
worst Of all, too much water washes
out and caves in these "Quanat' chan
nels, and until they are again dug out
no water comes to town.
1t hos happened at Yezd that single
rainy day, the water from which had
dried away or sunk into the ground be-
fore the next sunrise, has, by filling
the channels, caused water famine
in the city for three months.

MARINES REFUSE TO kNEEL.
Sailors On English Ship Resent Short
Officers Orders.

Portsmouth, England, Nov. "a mu-
tinous outbreak of 500 to 500 sailors
last night necessitated the mobilization
of the entire force in the naval par
racks here to prevent the event from
developing into a serious mutiny.
The men had assembled In the gym
nasium when the senior officer, man
of short stature, wishing to administer
a reprimand for breach of discipline,
ordered the front ranks to kneel SO that
he could see the men in the rear. Inc
order was resented and some of ting
sailors who refused to obey were ar
rested. Their comrades, aggrieved, ran
amuck, wrecked the canteen and 9TH
er premises. started to break out the
barracks with the intention Of wreck
ing the quarters Of the obnoxious Of
ficer, and were only prevented from so
doing by the fixed ibayonets of an over
whelming force.
A number of other men who attempt
ed to break out of barracks were ar
rested.

Some day I shall find you in heaven.
Wherever our heaven may be:
Some day shall find you and know you,
And you shall give greeting to me!
It may be on yonder pale planet
Or past the last limits Of space,
But, oh, shall find you and clasp you
In long and ecstatic embrace!
Ere the day Of our meeting billion
OF cons may have to elapse.
The sun may cease blazing and crumbIe,
And you will grow weary perhaps,
But will not rest till find you.
Wherever our heaven may be.
And I shall be richly rewarded
When you turn to give greeting to me.
Some day is far. far in the future.
And who can be sure that the sky
Will open for US in the morning
When the night We call "life" has gone
by?
And heaven, II heaven awaits US,
May reach to such heights and so Tar
That you never, ah, never can find me,
No matter how jealous you are!
And even II after long cons
We meet in far stretches Of space
And you 'swoop as trelnble to clasp mo
In long and ecstatic embrace,
Why wait for such joy OF that glory,
Why lay the glad Scene in the sky?
There's nobody looking ct present
Why wait for the ecstasy-why?

Business on Hand.

Many people are going about with
a cheerful smile and light head as
though wholly unaware Of the fact that
the serious business Of electing a con-
gresham is before them this fall.
They go to watering places, also to
buttermilking places and several other
places that might be mentioned, CIV
ing no thought to the serious business
of self government to which they must
soon attend.
Apparently, as far as they are con-
cerned, any old dub will do for con-
gresham, but the roar they put up
when congress meets and does not pass
a bill to pension their mothers-in-law is
calculated to make people q block
away think that some one Is trying
the. horn of his new auto on the
natives. Eternal vigilance may be the
price Of liberty, but careful search
of their clothes would not disclose the
price.

Millionaire Claims That Grave
Contains Dummy Instead OF
Bank Defaulter
WILL DIG UP THE COFFIN
Tho Latter is Supposed to Contain tho
Remains of LAHORE S. Baker, Alleged
Defaulting Cashier of Big Rap'ds'
Mich, Bank-senator Plat Said to
Be involved in Scandal.

Chicago, Nov. 6.--James Donovan,
millionaire lumberman, Will this week
exhume the coffin at Big Rapids, Men,
which is supposed to contain the re-
mains of LAHORE S. Baker alleged de-
faulting cashier Of the Northern Ma
tional bank of that city. for the avowed
purpose Of showing that wax figure
was really buried in the coffin.
Baker, asserts the millionaire, VINO
Is after the scalp Of Senator Thomas
C. Plat, is alive and well, and was
last seen in May, headed for Honolulu.
The wax figure, he alleges, was pre-
pared in New York to resemble the
former cashier and then sent by ex-
press to Big Rapids for the purpose OF
deceiving those who sought the arrest
and conviction of the man who robbed
banks Of 100000 and brought death
and desolation to score of homes.
Senator Plat involved.
The thread of the narrative that is
fastened at one end to the alleged wax
figure extends half way around the
world. 1t touches the highest official
life in Washington, jumps over into
high finance in New York and takes
with it glance into London life. The
present wife of Thomas c. Plat and
Miss Mae Wood, who alleges that she
is also the wife. come into the lime
light, both in chorus and in tragedy
roles.
After the exhumation of the coffin
and the examination of what Donovan
insists is a wax figure, he will go to
New York for the purpose Of continue
ing a fight that he had waged for
years and upon which he has spent
thousands of dollars.
The story told by Mr.. Donovan Isl
one of the dime novel sort that makes
fiction take a poor second place. He
charges that Baker, himself made the
victim of the associations that chung
about Senator Plat, deliberately set
about the ruin of the senator, and
wrought this ruin by introducing tot
him Carrie Thompson, who is now his
wife. All the details Of this story have
been given to the public in other
stories concerning the Michigan lum-
Der scandal In which the Plat inter-
ests have been attacked.
Donovan asserts that when Baker
left Michigan he came to Chicago, and
here met Carrie Thompson while she
was a member of the chorus Of the
BLACK Crook" company, and from
this acquaintanceship came the plan
to take her east and have her meet
and capture the senator. An Intimate
knowledge of the susceptibility of the
senator was possessed by the cashier,
and he unfolded his plans to his
friends without reserve.
Baker went from Chicago to New
York, where reports came that he had
died, and shortly after there came a
coffin with instructions that the re-
mains should not be exposed. Even
when Bakers wife, who had left him,
desired to kiss the dead face she was
not permitted to do so.
Donovan now asserts that the rea-
son for the refusal was that the coffin
contained only a figure IF wax.

There's nothing SO happy. so gay and so

AS boys who are trying to make degree.
They shout till their threats are as rough

And osle and stare at the ladies mean

On work they are short as a mother made

For football and gym work they con-
stantly sigh;
They don't give rap for tho way the
world goes:
They think that it lies at the tips OF their
toes
A chemical test of our varsity boys
Most likely would show big percentage OF

Together with nerve to put up q good
front
And come out all right when they're do
Ing their stunt
They swagger and boast with an INFINITE
gall
And think that tho world will respond to
their call
They spend oil tho dollars their daddies

And learn how 1t is for themselves at the
