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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflan-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrlD

An interesting Paperweight.

An interesting paperweight has
just been given to Epworth universe
ty at Oklahoma City. 1t is a section
of the brass pump rod of the steam
ship Sirius, the first steamer to cross
the Atlantic. The trip was made in
1888, and the vessel left Cork on
April 8 and arrived in New York on
April %. The ship was lost on the
English coast in June, 1847, and
was salvaged in 1896, fifty-one years
later. The metal work of the vessel
was purchased by the Masons,
firm of Birmingham (England) ship
suppliers, where the pump rod was
cut into sections and the souvenirs
made. The paperweight is about
half an inch thick and four inches
in diameter. 1t looks as bright as
if it had never seen the bottom of
the sea.

Kan emphatically refused to dis

day, Kremer went to Kan and made
similar demands, threatening that if
they were not acceded to Kan would
lose his saloon trade. Other saloon
men, patrons of Kan, joined in the
effort to secure Heister's discharge
by threatening to withdraw their
trade.
Kan remained obdurate and told the
saloonmen that rather than work such
an injustice on one Of his old employees
he would lose his trade.
Seeing that Kan would not accede
to the demands, the saloonmen took
the matter up with the bartenders'

Bartenders In 1t,
This stirred the bartenders' union
to action and a meeting was held at
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon Just what
transpired at the meeting is still a Sc
cret but it is said members of the
union have gone to Mr. Hester and
asked that he quit his job in order
to prevent open warfare between the
labor unions and the saloonmen.
The bartenders, it is alleged were
afraid to make an open fight in the
Trades and Labor council for a recon-
sideration of the Schiffner endorsement
for fear of being disciplined by the
Council for working against a union
man.
The action of the saloonmen in the
fight against Hester was made a spe-

Threatening to boycott him and ruin

of the Walla Walla Retail Liquor
Dealers association, and John Kremer,
owner of the Schwarz saloon, made a
demand Saturday on Louis Kan, pro-
prietor of the Kan Cigar company, that
ne discharge Fred Heister, foreman of
his cigar factory.
Mr. Heister is president Of the Walla
Walla Trades and Labor Council and
one of the most popular union men
in Walla Walla.
The high handed proceedings of the
saloonmen in demanding that Mr.. Kan
discharge Heister, is the direct result
of the Walla Walla Trades and Labor
Council endorsing j. j. Schiffner, dem
ocratic candidate for justice Of the
peace, at meeting one week ago in
opposition to Judge ]. ]. Huffman
whose candidacy is being openly
championed by the saloon forces.

As a result of the demands made
on Kan. it was intimated today that
Dryden and Kremer may be arrestea
on charges of conspiracy for threaten
ing to ruin Mr.. Kan's business, which
Is penitentiary offense under the
federal laws.
The efforts of the saloonmen to en-

compass the discharge Of Heister by
threatening to boycott his employer
and drive him from business if he DID
not accede to the demands, is being
denounced by every union labor man
in the city as one Of the rawest poll
tical deals ever attempted in Walla
Walla
The first demands on Mr.. Kan were
made Saturday by Dryden who went
to Kan's store in East Main street and
requested that Hester be discharged
The reason advanced was that the Ia
Dor unions had endorsed the candidacy
of J. ]. Schiffner for justice of the
peace which was against the stloon-
mems interests.
Necessary to Them.
1t was explained that the saloonmen
had endorsed the candidacy Of Judge
Huffman and it was highly essential
OF the saloon interests of Walla Walla
that he be elected.
Mr.. Kan, while recognizing the fact
that his wholesale cigar business was
dependent somewhat on the saloon
trade, demurred at discharging Heis-
ter because ne had, as president Of the
Walla Walla Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil. endorsed a brother union man fol-
justice of the peace.

that if he did not discharge Heister he

the proposed improvement is Of vital
benefit to the business district Of the

While hardly willing to stand the en-
tire expense, members of the council
intimated today they were inclined to
favor the city standing a share of the
cost in view of the justice Of the
claims set up by the property owners.

attended by large number of proper
ty owners in the improvement district.

 cling to a fragment of hope that the tide will turn, that some day capital and enterprise and the natural advantages which the section possesses will combine to make of the place what it bade fair to be i'll bygone years when the future was bright with promise. Rumors are once more rife that the hundreds of wasted horse power which daily tumble over the natural falls are to be made use of and that the village is to experience a revival of business and activity, even though it is not expected its prosperity will approach that which it enjoyed in its halcyon days. Similar rumors have been in circulation so frequently in the past that the residents fsel that they are hoping almost against hope in this instance but as rumor succeeds rumor, they take heart in the belief that pos sibly something tangible wlll be the re- suit of their long and patient waiting.

TROLLEY TALK.
Great Burlington to Canaan and Ga naan to Monterey.

Great Burlington to Canaan and Ga
 naan to Monterey.
 It was given out in Pittsfield, Mon day, says the Springfield Republican, that President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad had stated recently that trolley line is to be built to the summit of Greylock. If the plan is carried out a cable line similar to that on Mt Tom will be built. Other work outlined by the Consolidated of- icials include the extension of the Berk- shire street railway line from Great Burlington to Canaan, Ct., and trolley line from Canaan through Mill River and Hartsville to Monterey.
 President Mellen is quoted as having said in letter to Mill River man that the Consolidated road has authorized the construction of the electnc extension from Great Burlington to the state line near Canaan and the right to extend the tracks to the Canaan station will be asked of the legislature.
