DR.. Andrew Fleming West, Dean of
the Graduate School of Princeton Uni
versity has declined the office of Presi-
dent Of the Massachusetts institute of
Technology, Boston, to which he was
elected in succession to DR.. Pritchett.
Dean Vests refusal to go to Massachu-
sets has been received with profound
gratitude at the university. An open let
ter was sent to Dean West some time ago
by the undergraduates, in which they
expressed the hope that he would re-
main, if possible. 1t is said that this
letter was a large factor in bringing

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 con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed you have rumbling sound or inn perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result. and unless the infam. nation can be taken out and the tube resto- ed to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are cased by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

AFTER DELINQUENT
 TAX PAYERS
Over 100 Warrants Issued for Parties Who Failed to Pay or Work Out Their Road Tax for Mena
 District.

Quite a surprise was sprung on number of Mena citizens yes terday afternoon and this morn ing by having warrants of arrest served on them for failing to comply with the law in reference to road work in Mena special dis trict and as a result many of them will have to pay several times the amount of what their road dues would have been for the year, had they paid at the time Of being warned by the overseer.
 It seems that after becoming overseer of Mena special district J. 5. Lear warned over one hun. dred men to do road duty who failed to pay any attention to the warning, and as result their names were turned in to Prose cutting Attorney J. s. Lake who arrived in the city yesterday and began issuing warrants of arrest for all of these parties.
 All of these cases will come up for hearing before Squire Sam H. Smith and already several of the parties who have had war rants served on them have ap- peared before Justice Smith and settled their cases.
 Under the road law all able bodied men between tie ages of Fl and 45 years are subject to road duty four days in each year either by labor or paying S4 into the road fund.

SMOOTH CRACKSMEN
Work the Combination on Safe and
 Secure SEQ.

Helena, May %. The safe in the office of the Helena Ice Com pany's plant on West Missouri street was entered by burglars last night and S120 taken. AL though three white men were arrested in Lulu last night on suspicion and brought to Helena, they proved by several witnesses a strong alibi and were released.
 The police have made no fur ther arrests, but Chief Clancy and his men are watching all the railroads entering the city and has sent men to the surrounding towns.
 In some respects this burglary was a peculiar one. It was the first safe breaking that has oc- cured in Helena since the safe iu the office of Aaron Meyers was wrecked twenty years ago. Al though the inner doors of mild steel were forced with a pinch bar and a cold chisel, the heavy outer doors, which are locked with a combination, were not harmed, the cracksmen getting these open by means of the lock, apparently working the combi- nation.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT
Superintendent of Insane Asylum Seri.
 ous!y Injured by a Guard.

Little Rock, May 31.-A panic was created in the Insane Asylum Wednesday morning when J. M. Cox, a night watchman, attacked Superintendent G. w. Thompson while the head of the institution was eating breakfast.
 Cox had borne a grudge agalns, Superintendent Thompson be- cause of orders which he had given. After he got off duty in the morning he loitered abou, near the dining room. When the superintendent entered Cox crept up behind him and struck him over the head with a club. The superintendent fell to the floor stunned and Cox continued the attack.
 When the first blow was struck the women in the dining room began screaming and the alarm rapidly spread over the entire in stitution. Several guards rushed forward to the assistance of the superintendent, but by the time they arrived Cox had fled. MT. Thompson was lying on the floor in au unconscious condition.
 He was at once carried to his experiments and physician summoned. The doctors had been unable to determine up to noon whether his skull was frac' tured. He is in a very serious condition. Searching parties started out after Cox soon after the attack, but no trace of him has yet been found.

THE NEGRO HELD.
Bond of $500 Puts the Watkins Bros.
 Burglar Suspect in Jail.

John Thomas, the negro who was brought up from Horatio Wednesday night by Marshal Bickle and placed iu the county jail, charged with burglariz- ing Watkins Bros hardware store Tuesday night, had his ex- amining trial before Squire Sam H. Smith yesterday afternoon and bound over to await the ac- tion of the next grand jury in the sum of $500. Not being able to give bond the negro was remand ed to jail, where he will remain until the next regular term of circuit court.
 While the evidence against the negro at the examining trial was only circumstantial, still it was very strong, owing to the fact that the general description of the negro tallied closely to the man shot by MT. Watkins, also that the stamps found on him at the time of his arrest correspon- ded with the amount taken from the cash register by the burglar.
 This, together with the fact that the negro could not give a satisfactory account of his where abouts on the night of the burg lary was considered sufficient evidence by the court to bind him over.
 The wound by which the negro was apprehended is in his left forearm, the ball entering near the wrist and coming out near the elbow. The wound is little trouble.
