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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inlamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have Tumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it ls entirely closed, Deafness is
the result 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 infamcd condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured bv Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars tree. F. J. CHENEY x co.

MRS. OILS PLEADS GUILTY

Mrs. Caroline OhlS, the Wausau
woman accused of practising criminal
operations in surgery, pleaded guilty
this week before municipal Judge at
Wausau, in the case of Mrs. Lena
Wolfgram. Tue charge was second
degree murder, for which she received
four years sentence in Waupun. This
most heinouS class of crime deserved
even greater punishment. 1t is
probable that at the expiration of her
present term the charges of similar
nature as practiSed upon others will
be taken up against her.

Etiquette and Illness.

Haparanda, little town in Sweden,
has suddenly sprung into renowu
through rare act of thoughtfulness
on the part of it's womankind. Hav-
ing learned from medical statistics that
in winter colds, neuralgia, toothache
and influenza aer much more prevalent
among men than women, the ladies of
the place decided to relieve the men of
the necessity of doffing their hats to
them during the cold weather. It was
announced that during the winter the
women would require only a military
salute.

From a recent issue OF the
milwaukee, Journal, we notice
the announcement of Hon. ames
O'Neill, of Neilsville, as a candi-
date for the Supreme bench.
The judge has many warm and
old time friends in Wood county
that will only be glad of an
opportunity to support him for
that or any other position he
seeks. He is certainly well
qualified for a place on the SUI
preme bench, and his many
friends in Grand Rapids will all
put their shoulder to the wheel
and further his interests toward
that place if he decides to become
a candidate. More men of his
qualifications, possessing the
proper judicial temperament and
being of the Judge Webb type
are needed iii public positions.

Concerning Senator Hatten.

The Madison Journal esteems
Senator Hatten very highly but
seems to doubt if he has quite
enough backbone" for the office
Of Governor. Perhaps our Mad
ison contemporary has not seen
the senator placed in a position
where it was necessary for him
to show independent firmuess.
We have, and at the close of one
interview upon which his pollti-
cal future might have depended,
the other fellows had no doubt
about the rigidity of his spinal
column. Senator Ha tten is
neither political trickster nor a
mountebank. He does not go
about blowing his own trumpet
from the housetops. He is
naturally modest and retiring;
but at the same time he is g. man
of excellent abilities, a good rea-
soner, well informed in public
affairs and honest. He is there
fore a good man for governor or
for any other position to which
he may be called.
The above, taken from the
Stevens Point Journal, indicates
that those who are acquainted
with Senator Hatten, know him
to have good qualities for the
position ex-governor. From our
acquaintance with him we know
him to be thoroughly honest, and
when need of backbone is felt, he
is found to be very well provided
with that commodity.

CONVICTION OF THE SANTA FE.
Commission ExOnerates Paul Morton of
 Criminal latent.

Washington, Aug, 9.-In a statement issued to-day by the interstate conn merce commission regarding the con viction of the Atchison, Topeka & San ta Fe Railway company for violating the law with respect to the giving of rebates, the commission says tine avowed purpose of the practice tends to support the view that there was no criminal intent on the part of Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy and former head of the traffic depart- ment of the Santa Fe, and the other railroad officials involved. The state ment calls attention to the fact that with the imposition of the $15,0O0 fines on the railroad and the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, "the history of the famous Santa Fe rebate case is prob ably closed' and praises President Roosevelt and Attorney General Moody for carrying out with success the ad- ministration's declared purpose to en- force the statute in all such cases.

The car of former Mayor Bowlus was plotting the party, and was closely followed by the car con- taining the two governors and Gener- al Keller. Just as the leading car crossed the main track of the Cleveland Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railroad it broke down. The hind wheels were still on the track and the governors car had pushed to within a few feet when the gates closed behind it. Seeing their peril they jumped just as the Big Four" limited dashed by.

TOO MUCH FOOD FOR THAV
FALSE RUMOR FOLLOWED BY
 AN AVALANCHE

Fine EdibIes Pour Into TOmbs From
 Many PersOns--One Order From n
 Wall Street Cafe Large Enough to
 Have Kept Him for Several Days
 Illness of Prisoners Private Caterer
 Caused Report That He Had to Ac-
 cept Prison Fare.
 New York, Aug 9.-Harry Thaw, who is in the Tombs awaiting trial for hav- ing killed Stanford White, was sudden ly to-day an object of general and large generosity. Chicken roast beef, stews, ragouts, soups, fish, vegetables, pies, puddings and coffee poured into the prison directed toihim. One order from a Wall street cafe was large enough to have kept the prisoner in food supplies for several days.
 Accompanying all these eatables were knives and forks which prisoners charged with capital offences, are not allowed to use. The warden had diffi- culty in stopping the stream of messen- gers bringing food. The incident was due to a report widely current that Thaw had quarreled with the prison caterer and that in consequence he had 'breakfasted on ordinary prison fare.
 The report had 1t that the disagree ment was due to Thaw's insisting on a knife and fork being supplied with his meals. Late in the day Thaw's attor- ney, Clifford W. Hartridge, explained that there was no foundation for the report beyond the fact that Thaw's caterer had been taken ill and could not work.
