An EXCITING ADVENTURE
DOE is ARRESTED ON MAIN
STREET WHILE IN JAIL?
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

John Doe has had most pitiful time
of it during the past "a hours. Scarcely
had the gentleman acquainted himself
with the quaint and wholly unique sur
roundings of cell No. 13 where he was
rudely thrust by blue-coated official,
before he was again arrested on the
same charge and lodged in cell No. %.
While still in cell Is, he was arrested
on east Main street and taken to the
Jonah room cell number 23."
While the joke is still on John, the
local followers of Sherlock Holmes fail
to comprehend the situation. The blot
ter in the police station gives the sad
details of the affair without comment,
and the police sergeant upholds the
dignity of the office by refusing to be
interviewed.
How can John Doe occupy cell in
the Haviland, and at the same time be
arrested on east Main street, was
asked.
Il am wholly unprepared to answer,
replied the sergeant. 1T is the siren
uous duty of the police to run to earth
I criminals and to place them in safe
keeping John Doe was evidently Suf-
fering from an overload of intoxicatlon
and was arrested. The book will also
prove, beyond a doubt that John Doe
was also arrested later on the same
charge You have my sympathy, but
really, am not prepared for any inter-
view" .t..- 80.

Deafness Cannot be Cured,

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustaehian Tube. When this
tube is ir-famed, you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed. Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to is normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs
