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 coDstitu.
iional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infammed 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 infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored 10 its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine case0 out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that eau.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Senator Rayner, of Maryland, made
an address yesterday in the Senator on
the Monroe Doctrine as contrasted with
the policy of President Roosevelt in
South America, which, apart from the
interest that attached 10 it as his maiden
speech in the Senate, was most impor-
liant in the almost unbrOken line of pre-.
cedents which he cited of action taken
by previous administrations, all cOntro-
verting the attitude assumed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The purpose of Mr..
Rayner's address was to show by cita-
tons from their Official utterances that
all previous secretaries of state have
held that this governments interpreta-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine was that
the United States would resent any at
tempt by any European power TO sub 5ert
the political institutions of any of the
Central or South American republics,
but that with the steps taken by any
European government either to collect
the debts or to aveuge insults this gov
eminent bad no concern. Senator Ray
nor says the policy now being pursued
towards the South American Republics
should be called the Roosevelt Policy"
and that this country is a receiver for
bankrupt countries. He lampooned
Secretary Taft and revealed diplomatic
secrets, and also declares that the al
ministration programme is a financial
one never contemplated by the nations
founders.
President Roosevelt sent to Congress
what was regarded there as one of the
most striking messages delivered by him
since he has been in the White House.
1t accompanied the annual report Of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, which
was also submitted to Congress today
by the President, and 10 this message
the Presiden. assumes full responsibility
for every phase of the Panama canal
project since The passage of the Spooner
act.
Senator German delivered a very sig
ni6cant speech in the Senate immediate
ly after the message had been read. He
declared that it was the most extraordi-
nary one that had ever been sent TO Con-
gress. He pointed out that the Presi-
dent in his message invited the closest
scrutiny and investigation of Panama
canal matters, and declared that Con-
gress should order an investigation of the
whole matter.
Senator Gallinger opened the debate
on the merchant marine shipping bill
presenting an extensive array of figures
10 support of that measure.
With over four hours devoted TO the
District of Columbia there was but half
an hour devoted by the House to tariff
discussion. This was utilized by Mr..
Sullivan, OF Massachusetts, who spoke
strongly for tariff revision from the dem
ocratic standpoint.
One of the district bills passed provides
penalty of $40 fine and imprisonment
against persons who, not being members
Of veterans organization, shall wear

HULL sooRED By DIR. MORRIS.

DR.. Minor Morris. whose wife was
elected from the White House last
Thursday, last night gave out a public
statement 10 which be severely srraigns
those responsible for her removal, de-
nounces the imposition OF q fine IN her
case as adding to her humiliation, and
replies to the statement of her brother,
Representative Hull, of Iowa, regard
ing the will and codicil OF her father.
The statement is addressed "To Whom
1t May Concern" and begins as follows:
"a woman of the highest culture, OF
the rarest attachments, who has devoted
her life to her home, her family aud her
ideals, whose only thought has been to
do good, and who has always considered
others before herself, wife and mother
has been seized from behind, In the
waiting-roo of the White House, and
NAL treated with q brutality which hu-
mainly would revolt at seeing accorded
to its lowest type. The details OF this
sickening thing, unnsmsble, are now
known to the whole country.
DR.. Morris alleges that an effort was
made to hold Mrs. Morris At the House
of Detention until his arrival 100 days
later, to make sit appear that she was
friendless and insane" he says that
the physicians sen. to examine her mani
tested their indignation and, that as sit
became dangerous TO press the insane
charge, che stands today recorded as the
disturber of the peace to the extent OF
S." e
DR.. Morris says her suffering will not
have been in vain eff the larger purpos-
es of truth and justice sre strengthened
in the community" His wife did not
scream, be says, until 'the violent seiz-
ure by secret service men surprised her
with the command to ''cOme on" The
statement makes sarcastic allusion TO As
sistant Secretary Barnes, who, it says.
after ordering her removal, tried to de-
fend himself. DIR. Morris says that the
mental and physical bruises which Ms.
Morris has sustained would be dreadful
ia any environment, but at the portals OF
the national residence OF executive su
thority the pain Is intensified thousand
times.
The question of the disputed will is
then taken up, and the expressions given
out by Representative Hull 10 recent in
terviews denounced as forgetful Ct the
most sacred relationships Of life Sin the
hour of her crucifxion." The state
ment alleges that while the testator,
Mrs. Morris's father, said 81 owe no
debt" a debt of almost the entire estate
was put through q court, and that de-
mand for the removal from the War De-
partment OF DR.. Morris, who mentions
himself as the benefciarys husband,
was made in connection with the press
ing of the latter's clsims.
In conclusion Mr.. Morris declares
that the natiou's sense of decency b ,
been shocked, that one woman has Ia
bear all this and that the "yital fact in
the limelight is that this outrage is the
grayest insult to the politeuess Of Ameri-
can life within the memory of men and
women now living"

WHEN making an address on divorce
last spring Mr.. Francis Lewis told OF
An Ohio Judge who looked over his
divorce docket and, observing that in
nearly every case barbarous cruelty or
infdelily was charged, announced that
he would hear no case until the criminal
charges had been subs'antiaied in a
criminal court. The next morning al
most every case was withdrawn. Mr..
Lewis's. Inference was that the charges
were made only for the purpose OF gel
ting divorce. The judge he referred to
must be the Judge Tyler, of Toledo,
who proposes to make five years in the
peni,enliary the penalty for marital un'
faithfuness. ibis is his drastic idea OF
the way to reduce the amount of divorce.

The revolutionists used the most drastic
measures to repress robbers. In the

fering greatly because of the lack of fuel.
The coal pits are full of supplies of coal,
but since the railway strike began trans
portstion has ceased and it is impossible
for the people to procure fuel. The min
lister of railways is on his way to Khar-
koff to restore traffic at any cost.

THE RAILROAD RATE BILL.

The Hepburn railroad rate bill as
amended and passed by the Senate
provides:
That the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall investigate charges of
unjust and unreasonable rates of
common carriers.
If determinations are found, the COM
mission is empowered to fix lust and
reasonable maximum rate.
Orders of the commission 90 into
effect within 30 days and continue in
force for two years, unless set aside by
the commission or a court,
The penalty for disobedience of the
orders OF the commission is fine OF
$4,000 daily.
United States circuit courts shall
have jurisdiction over suits to annu]
acts OF the commission, the granting of
interlocutory DEGREES without hearings
and making appeals direct to the
Supreme Court.
Oil pipe lines, express and sleeping
car companies are declared common
carriers.
The commission has access to the
accounts of the companies affected.
What the bill will contain when the
committee of conference of the Senate
and House of Representatives gets
through with it, only time will tell. 1t
is already limited that the oil pipe lines
and the express companies amendments
are to be stricken through the Rookie
Teller influence, and the fact that most

Joe S. Trigg, the we'll known writer
of Trigg's Farm Notes and editor of the
Weekly Register at Des Moines,. died at
his home at Rockford, Iowa, on Wednes-
day of last week. Mr.. Trigg was con-
sidered the best writer of agricultural
notes in the United States, and his
terse writings were published regularly
in papers in every state in the union.
We have personally known Mr.. Trigg
for may years, and in his death the
newspaper profession has lost one of it's
most honored members. A few months
ago he was stricken with paralysis, but
rallied and was able to resume his work
at Des Moines. Two weeks before his
death he was again stricken and from
that time until his death he failed
gradually.
