Richmond, Jan. 6.--Owing to the
fact that the furniture may not arrive
and that the speaker will be new mln
and will take ten days to make up the
House committees, the legislative lead
ers favor holding all caucuses early 10 the

strength and he and Churchman will act
together in an effort to organize the
Honse caucus. The Governor and the

into the Capitol building today. Gov
ernor-elect Swanson has made request

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear, There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-
tiona remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiammed portion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in-
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine eases out Of ten are
caused By Catarrh. which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DJllars for any
case of Deafness (caused by estsrrh) that can.
not be cured by HalTs Catarrh Cure. Send

mosquitoes of mammoth size with dou-
BILE appetites are breaking all records
by raiding many of the towns near here.
Residents of Cumberl md and Ormond,

that during the last two evenings these
pesky insects, of the genuine Jersey va
riety, have made it very uncomfortable
for those who have gone out of doors.
They are much larger than the usual
summer mosquito and have, seemingly,
double appetiles. George Dixon, an
elderly farmer, of Ormond, states that
he has never in his life, seen larger
mosquitoes than those which invaded
his farm last evening.

Bodies Recovered from Mine.

The bodies of all the 90 miners killed
in the gas explosion in the Cooper coal
mine at Coaldale, W. Va, Thursday,
have been recovered. Hundreds of peo-
pie yesterday visited the scene of the ex-
plOsiOn. The bodies were taken from
the shaft and carried in house adjoin-
ing the big Iipple at the mine entrance
and laid there in a row, their faces COW
cred and their hands crossed. All the
bodies have been identified, but there
is some trouble in finding out the homes
of those who we're not residents of Coal
dale. Nearly all the victims were found
lying with their hands covering their
faces. One body was in a sitting pos
ture on pile Of coal, the hands cover
ing his face. The scene about the en-
trance near the section affected most by
the explosion indicated its fearful force.
The big timbers used for holding up
the top Of the mine were hurled
from the drifts, one piece going across
a narrow valley, moving down small
trees GA the opposite side. Mine cars
were blown out of the opening and
wrecked about the entrance, and materi.
ais, tools and appliances we're scattered
about in great confusion. Four mine
mules were killed in the explosion.
