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 infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumblns
sound or imperfect hearing, and when II Is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi.
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an inhamed con
ditfon of the mucous surfaces.

How to Make Furniture Polish.
To make a furniture polish use one
ounce of brown beeswax. one-hali
ounce Of white wax, one-half ounce OF
CASTLE soap, one-half pint of turpentine
and one-half pint of water. Shred the
brown and white wax into a jar Ga
two pound jam jar will do), add the
turpentine and let it stand on the stove
until dissolved. Shred the soap and
let it boil in the water until quite dis.
solved. Allow to cool, then pour into
the jar and stir all the ingredients to-
gether. When cold, it will be a thick
cream and must be kept air tight For
old furniture this produces a deep,
glowing polish quite different from any
other, and it does not finger mark.

A CRIMINAL ENIGMA.

Constantine, Alleged Slayer of Mrs.
Gentry, Soon to be Tried.
The authorities Of Cook county, Illinois
must soon deal with a criminal enigma
whose crime shocked the whole country
and led to the crusade against law-break.
ers which for the time being almost freed
Chicago of criminals. This man is Frank
J. Constantine. slayer of Mrs. Louise
Gentry. The fellow has spent several
months in jail and his trial is about to
open. 1t will be one of the hardest fought
on record in Cook county, for, though
there is little doubt in the public mind
that Constantine is the murderer, he will
be ably defended and the evidence against
him is all circumstantial. The prisoner
is of Italian birth and his mother runs
a grocery store in New York.
Although he admits nothing the polics
assert that they have him positively iden.
titled and that they not only have his own
admission of his identity, made when he
was arrested in New York, but that he
made statements about the crime. Mrs,
GenNy was a young woman, married but
q year, and lived in q fiat where there
were other occupants of similar tastes,
Her husband was a man of some means
and they lived in a refined manner In
the latter part of 1905 a young man
named Constantine came to live in the
same fiat and made the acquaintance OF
the Gentrys. He spoke OF fine family
connections and conveyed the impression
that his people, who, he said, lived in
New York, were rich. About Al O'Clock
in the forenoon of Jan, 6. 1906, Mrs
Gentry, fully dressed in street attire
dashed down the stairs from her apart
ments and rang the bell of doctors
Office on the ground floor, who, upon
opening the door, saw her fall to thu
floor Her throat was slashed almost
from ear to ear and there was blood all
about her and trailing down the stairs.
She pointed up the stairway in mute
testimony that the attack had occurred
there. in four minutes she died.
Suspicion at. once pointed to Constan-
tine because he had disappeared. leaving
his hat behind. From that time on for
well over a year Frank Constantine was
hunted as suspected criminals. seldom are

According to the story Constantine il
alleged to have told the New York police
after his capture he went from Chicago
to New York; thence to Naples, remain

weeks he returned to Italy, went thence

be expected of man of his years.

RANQUET BEST EVER IN KENNEWlCK
COMMERCIAL CLUB PROVES POPULAR HOST FOR WALLA WALA
SPOKANE, NORTH YAKIMA AND PROSSER VISITORS
Fine Spread Served in Metropolitan Style by the
New Hotel MANAGEMENT

Jas. "A. hose spoke on The Ken
newick Commercial Club and es-
tablished the fact that the organi-
zatlon had record of which its
officers and active members can be
justly proud.
Governor A. f. Mead followed in
an excellent address the climacteric
point of which was the assurance of
ample appropriations to open the
Columbia river. The state will
have no large buildings to erect for
any OF the state institutions and the
next legislature can set aside larger
amounts for river improvements.
Congressman w. L. Jones was
the next speaker and showed an
intimate knowledge of the Kenne-
wick country for seventeen years
back. He reviewed the irrigation
work in the state in detail and took
up the work of opening the Column
bia river to navigation; stated that
he believed enough would be appro-
priated by the next Congress to
complete the Cello locks, told why
the improvement of the river from
Cello to Kennewick had been taken
up and that it would be continued.
The opening of the Columbia is
assured. Mr.. Jones gave two guar
antees which we should all remem-
ber; first, that large area of land
adjacent to Kennewick and tribu-
tary to will be irrigated by the Fed
eral government; second, the Col
umbia will be open to navigation
from Kennewick to the sea and
that probably within the next five
years.
DIR. N. G.. Blalock, of Walla
Walla, spoke briefly and announced
that the $4,000 necessary to be
raised to purchase the steamer
Norma had been secured.
H. A. Hover spoke on "Kenne-
wick, Past, Present and Future. "
Mr.. Hover was always forcefu]
when talking of the achievements,
advantages and possibilities of Ken
newick and on this occasion he was
at his best.
Judge w. w. Zent, of Ritzville,
also delivered short address.
The banquet from the standpoint
of the cuisine and service was all
that could be asked and one that
will cause the new Hotel Kenne-
wick and its manager, Mr.. Stark
to be remembered by everyone who
enjoyed the feast.
A score of the young ladies of the
town volunteered to assist in serv-
ing the meal and the speakers were
all careful to lavish their praises
both as to their beauty and the
service rendered. The affair lasted
from 7.3O until you went home,
varying from 2 to 4 a. m. The
universal verdict of the visitors ex.
pressed was you couldn't do il
better.n

saturday night at the palatial Hotel
Kennewick was the social event par
e,cellence of the half-decade Of
Vennewick's history. About $50
I. onests we're present. Large delega-
ions we're on hand from North
y.kima, Walla Walla and Prosser,
while many other towns of central
Washington and the Columbia val
ley we're represented. The atten-
dance was even larger than the fine
$4,000 hotel could accommodate
IN ;ts spacious dining room, but a
.econd sitting satisfied all the hun
ry and prepared all for the fine
ingram to follow. The Kenne-
wick Philharmonic Orchestra fur
n;shed its usual high standard Of
music for the occasion.
Geo. F. Richardson, president of
The Commercial Club, presided as
toastmaster. Mayor L. E. johnson
in a sincere speech welcomed the
euests and asked that henceforth
"tbey, one and all, should have
I more than a passing interest in
Kennewick."
4 Mayor O. A. Fechter OF North
Yakima responded and showed he
had detailed knowledge of Kenne-
i wick past and present, interweav-
inp mention of many of the old
timers in a string of "reminiscences.
He paid touching tribute to the
memory of C. J. Beach, pioneer
and builder of the early Kennewick
who has now crossed to the other
ade.
Mr.. German, the new president
Of Hanford Irrigation and Power
Co., considered the topic, 'Oppor-
mnities of the Columbia River
Early Fruit Belt" by pointing out
what his company expected to ac-
complish for the purpose of open
ing up opportunities for many peo-
pic who will come to the Hanford
lands up the Columbia. He also
made bold to suggest some oppor-
tunities which the Commercial Club
should take advantage OF, especially
in reference to securing a railroad
spur leading to the boat landing
and had to be set right by President
richardson and Mr.. Rose who
showed that the organization had
been alive to these opportunities
and had availed itself of them.
c. W. Wiegel, agent Of Northern
Pacific Railway, was assigned the
subject Growth of KennewicE
nom Railroad Standpoint" and
quoted the figures on passenger and
height business showing a rate OF
Increase in these lines seldom
equalled, amounting in 1907 to ar
Increase of 13O per cent. over that
Of 1905.

way agent for the road, responded

1t will do for Kennewick. ." Mr.
Woods delivered an excellent tall
on the North Coast, but two points
we're OF especial interest, viz: Tha
the North Coast road will be bull

pie time that the many difficultie
