Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the die
eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is Unnamed you have a rumbling sound or I'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO Its normal condi.
ton, hearing win be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
bot an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

After their honeymoon to Niagara
Falls they came back and settled on
the old farm.
Gracious, Sile!" said Cynthia. "Why
are you in such a bad humor?"
Making butter is blamed hard
work." grumbled Sile, removing the
beads from his brow.
"Oh, cheer up, Sile. Don't the poet

PEOPLE AROUSED
Business Men in Mass Meeting Take
Action Regarding Recent Dyna-
mite Outrage.
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Neither Money Nor Time to be Spared
in Running Down Persons Who
Wrecked News-HeraId Plant--A
Fund Provided to Defray the Ex-
penses Of the Committee.

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 17-More than
200 business men of this city met
Sunday afternoon in the Commercial
club rooms in response to the call Is
sued for a mass meeting and gave ex-
preston in strong terms to the deep
feeling Of resentment that exists
among the law abiding citizens Of Jop-
lin regarding the attempt to blow up
the News-Herald plant Friday night.
But that was not all. The meeting
proceeded in a businesslike way to
appoint an executive committee Of
five business men. They are to direct
an investigation Of the affair and to
spare neither time nor money to run
down the persons who resorted to the
use of explosives to prevent a news
paper from opposing graft and COS
ruption in the city's affairs. Then
those in the meeting drew out check
books or cash and said In effect to the
executive committee:
you'll need some money to obtain
evidence and secure the conviction of
the guilty persons. Call OF US If you
need more"
The committee is composed Of l.. P.
Cunningham, a mine owner; Clay
Gregory, secretary Of the Commercial
club, and a mine operator; T. w. Cum
ningham, president Of the Bank Of
Joplin, and w. N. Andrews, an at
torney. In addition to a reward fund
now on hand, amounting to $1,730,
there was also subscribed in the meet
ing $500 as a start towards a fund to
be used in obtaining evidence leading
to the arrest and conviction of those
who committed the crime. While the
meeting was in progress the tele-
phone rang repeatedly. Those who
could not reach the meeting we're call
ing up to offer money for the fund for
the prosecution.
All the seats in the clubroom were
occupied, many stood and crowds at
the door unable to get in to hear what
was being said, waited on the outside.
The mayor, ]. F. Osborne, presided.
Whatever may have been said
about Joplin in days past" the mayor
said, "it has never yet gone out to
the country that we tolerated anarchy
here and we do not propose to now"
"Such a dastardly outrage this COM
munity cannot and will not stand for"
declared L. P. Cunningham, a mine
operator. 1T reaches every mans
home and property. Those who COM
mitted the crime must be sought out
and punished
Many similar expressions were
voiced and the following resolution
that expresses well the tone of the
meeting was adopted
Whereas, On the 18th day of this
month, scoundrels dynamited the Of
flee of the News-Herald Publishing
company of this city; Be it
Resolved, by our cltlzenS IN mass
meeting assembled as follows: We
express our condemnation of the
~dastardly crime and pledge the
citizenship of this community to de-
vote every effort to bring the Grim
inal to justice, and we call upon all
citizens to aid financially and other
wise in removing this stigma from
this community. This is a time for
deeds, not words.

Ny Dear Sri was down on your Atascosa County ranch, and spent
four days in looking it over 1t is a great tract land; the finest large
body of land j was ever OF. In the four days spent IN it. am sue l did
not see forty aces that could not be cultivated.
The soil is dark and chocolate sandy loan, and some black, waxy with a
little sand, but no blow sand. l took soil from different pastures and
found the land all underdd with a good clay foundation.
In my opinion, this land, with proper cultivation, will produce every
thing that can be grown from Maine to California. l never saw a more fer
tile body of land anywhere. FH
Such land as this, if located in Oklahoma, would sell for $50 an acre.
The entire tract is within the aresian belt. The water from these
wells that / saw and drank, was good for all purposes.
/ carried one of FOUR New Home Sweet Home books with mi and
compared the views shown by you in it with what / saw, and found every
thing just as represented. / have read your description of this property,
and you have not overdrawn it in any way. No one can realize what a
splendid opportunity this is to get a good home for a very little money in
the finest climate and on the richest land in the world, until he sees it.

The rains Monday night and Tues

crowd at $500 people.
The program was exceptionally
good, opening with the live stock ex-
hibits and show rings, and closing
with two big events In the speed ring.
Owing to the heavyltrack the time
made In the races was not quite up to
the record, but the races themselves
were close and highly exciting and a
majority Of the different heats were
won on the home-stretch.
"Dr. Skinner" owned by w. J.
Creasey, Of La Grange, Mo-. won the
$40 stake trot, the feature race of the
afternoon, taking three firsts and two
seconds OF the five heats.
One event, not on the program,
held the crowd at high tension for
several minutes, while "High Chan
celor," owned by Ed Moore, of Wells
vile, Mo-, circled the track six and a
half times without a rider. The ami
NAL stumbled and unseated Its Jockey
at the start Of the three quarter
mile dash and finished the race with
out a rider.
Not content with finishing In thu
third place, High Chancellor" CON
tinued around the course, making 81,
laps before he was caught by J. G

time and while In a dead run all tn
