TO HEAR SUPT. OLEMFNTS.

The State Board of Education has
been called to meet at the Offices OF
the department on Monday night, June
oath, to take up the Alexandra county
case, to elect division superintendent for
Chesterfield county to succeed the late
W. A. Blankenship, and to transact
other business of more or less import
ance.
The case from Alexandra county in
wolves the official record Of Division
Super ntendent James Z. Clements.
At the last meeting of the board Mr..
Clements was cited to appear before the
body to show cause, if any he can, why
he should not be removed from Office
for failure to send 10 his reports to the
department, as required by law. II is
understood that in the meanwhile most
of the delayed papers have been fled,
but this may not suffice to satisfy the
board, IS they were not filed within the
time prescribed by law. At any rate,
the board will go into the hearing, and
give the delirqent officer an opportunity
to say bow itall happened. - Richmond

ANOTHER demonstration OF the Amer
leans irregular notions of the work to
be done by regular army is seen in the
protests being lodged almost daily by
privstes against the weekly practice
marches. These marches are said TO be
so thoroughly disliked that their con-
tinuance is affecting enlistments serious
ly; particularly are re-enistmenIs being
reduced in number, because the men in
the ranks regard the work as too onerous.
The unhappy army officials are confront
ed with something like paradox they
must maintain a regular army, but msy
not keep it in order. And the soldiers
display the desire of many fellow coun-
trymen to get something for nothing.
Regular army service without stiff and
frequent drill is "soldieripg" in all the
worst impuiation of that word.

Orchards Testimony Corroborated.

1t was conclusively proven by the
State 10 Boise, Idaho, yesterday that on
August 10, 1904, a man who gave the
name of j. Wolf, and the address of
1925 Stout street, Denver, where George
A. Pettibone had store, sent from Den
yer a registered letter addressed to John
Dempsey, a name Orchard used in Cali
fornia, at the Golden West Hotel, at
Ellis and Powell streets, San Francisco.
Orchard had testified that Wolf was a
man employed by Pettibore, and this
fact the State will definitely establish by
means of other witnesses Orchard swore
that the letter contained 800 and q
note from PettibOne. Further than this,
the State proved that the registered letter
from Wolf was duly delivered and re-
ceipted for.
The witness by which the State es-
tablished the Denver end OF this testi-
mODy was registry clerk in the Denver
postofice. Her name is Miss Pearl
Moore, and she is very pretty.

HOW THEY STAND.
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 inhamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed 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 ara
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing bat an
inhsmed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) thst
cannot be cured by Halls CataFrh Cure.

In that depends a good deal upon the point of view. Besides, &c ne ean

since he mine owners have shown their determination to CT loose from
the Western Federation and open the mines with nonunion men, the re-

crisis of riots and bhodshed believed to have been impending and av@ted
only by the presence If the troops. In such a n event the local police
ow would be wholly inadequate to cope with the situation. While the
majority of the miners are peaceable and law abiding men,, there are many
desperate characters in the southern camp, many of whom figured in the
strikes of Idaho and Colorado and who will take advantage of the first
nance to reenact them in Nevada. A sufficient nswer to those who
