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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucuOus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound Or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 infiamed con-
dtion Of the mucuous surfaces.

FUNSTON RoAsTS COURT MARTIAL
He Says the Members Who Tried
Armstrong Were Incompetent
and Discharged Them.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 9.-Gen.
Funston has administered a severe re-
Duke to the members of the court
martial for undue leniency shown
prisoner. The court was trying Arthur
terry of field artillery, on the charges
of breaking out of the prison on Alca-
traz island, and forcing the cells of
three other prisoners and liberating
them. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The
court decided that there was no crime
committed in escaping and sentenced
Armstrong to three months of close
confinement for releasing the other
prisoners. General Funston says:
Armstrong was in prison fifteen years
for an Offense against a woman. He
is probably the most desperate and
certainly the most despicable prisoner
on the island. 1t is evident that the
officers composing the court are in
competent and the court is hereby dis
solved" The members were: Major
Abner Pickering, Captain George Bonn
ford, Captain Lawrence Curtis, Lieuts.

Why George kelIough Should Not be
Elected Mayor.

While all right in his way he is not
in any sense qualified for the office.
Because just now city affairs are at
critical stage. A new and inexpe-
rienced man at this time in the may
or's office can only throw the city back
interfere greatly with its progress.
Because a better man than Kel-
Tough is available for the office at this
time. AS mayors go Gilbert Hunt has
few equals.
Because Kellough is not running for
the office on his individual merits but
is backed and urged on by a "nasty
crowd" who have many other things
in their noodle than the city's best
interests. What have the Boxers ever
done to help the city?
Because the office of mayor should
be filled by one of the citys first citi-
zens. And is Kellough one of the
most capable men in connection with
public and municipal affairs in the
city? His strongest supporters will not
claim this much.

REVOLUTION DUE IN FRANCE.
French PreIate Declares That Country
Is Ruled by Absolute Despotism.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. July 9.-"The
French republic persecutes the Catho-
lie religion with the fixed determine
ton of destroying it," said the Very
Rev. Gilbert Francois, who has arriv-
ed here to establish the permanent
headquarters of the congregation Of
the Holy Cross. Father Francois was
obliged to leave France because Of the
attitude of the French government to-
ward religious communities.
In speaking Of the religious question
in France, the superior general said:
Americans who enjoy the happiness
Of having a genuine republic and who
know how to understand and practice
true liberty, not only for themselves,
but for those that have different opin-
ions, can hardly get a correct idea of
the present situation in France.
1.-The republic of France is a mere
word not reality; in practice it is
the most absolute government France
ever had. In spite of the result of the
last elections, which really represent
only appearance and corruption, the
French republic governs against tho
majority of the nation.
1T persecutes the Catholic religion
with the fixed determination of de-
strOying it. 1t hopes to succeed in
| following a plan mapped out long ago.
Although the greater part of France is
not Catholic, as it ought to be, yet
persecution. Most of the municipal
councils consulted by the government
itself declared themselves in favor Of
religious cooperation, yet the gov
eminent paid no attention to this de-
cisiOn. Several millions of Frenchmen
presented a petition to the French
parliament asking separation, all in
vain. Imagine strong man who has
been surprised during his sleep by an
enemy that bound him hands and
| feet. He wakes up and finds himself
a prisoner. Such is the situation of
France, and it will require a terrible
! revolution to bring the country back
| to its ancient tradition

priests and brothers of Holy Cross in

week, nearly $50 attending

cording to a receipt they had secured
from Dillabaugh's grandfather. To
test its strength Haskell had bored a
hole in a log and plugged it up. He
was gently tampering the explosive
when the thing went off.
The slab was badly splintered and
the bits of wood were driven in every
direction. Haskell, who was standing
directly over the charge, escaped al
most without injury. but Jones re-
ceived some slight injuries in the eye,
