The Days of the TrundIe Bed

The editor of the Cherokee Ban
ner while in reminiscent mood
recalls those dear old trundIe-bed
days in most truthful and feeling
manner. Listen:
Now I lay me down to sleep;
pray the Lord my sonI to keep;
If should die before I wake;
Ipray the Lord my soul to take. ,,
Oh, the days of the trundle-bed!
The days of simple living and
truehearted faith, of modest women
and brave men. of high impulses
and noble achievemerAs, of per
sonal conservation to lofty ideals
before the dust of the market place
had covered the tabernacle and the
invisible things were clearly seen.

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 infamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus'
tachian Tube. When this tube IS inAam'
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when tits entirely clos
ed. Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing viii be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bat an inflaued cond1-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give O1e Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarvh

ENTHUSE OVER TAFT.
Filipinos Present the Secretary
With Silver Loving Cup.

MANILA October 22.-There was a
great demonstration last night in honor OF
Secretary of War Taft, the occasion be-
Ing banquet arranged by a committee
composed of members of the Manila as
sembly. The Secretary was cheered for
five minutes when introduced with the
statement that "there is no man to whom
the Philippines owes more than to the
next President Of the United States. the
native islanders being particularly demon
strative.
A silver loving cup of native make was
presented to the Secretary, who. in ex-
pressing his thanks. said he was gratified
when he heard President Osmena say the
United States had kept it's every promise
made to the Filipinos in letter and in
spirit. He urged the Importance of edu-
cation in order to overcome the ten
dency to blindiy follow one man. 1t was
necessary to give all an equal oppor-
tunity that the son of the humbiest per-
son might aspire to the highest position
in the state. He was confident that the
assembly would unite with him to procure
better conditions He said 1t was impor-
tant to choose the best men as delegates
to the national congress-
He hoped for the adoption of a tariff
as low as possible and law limiting the
exports of sugar and tobacco to the
United States. This would do good. and
would prevent the formation Of another
Cuba, where the absorption of energy in
the production of the commodity meant
the control Of the masses by the few and
was not in the interest Of the govern
ment
Secretary Taft said he was satisfied
with the condition of the Philippines. and
warned those who might attempt a cleav-
age Of two peoples now coming together.
In conclusion the Secretary toasted the
prosperity and long life of the islands.
At a meeting yesterday of the carnival
committee. leading business men and
progressive citizens, Secretary Taft ex-
pressed his approval of the projected
island carnival. In the afternoon the
Secretary had a long talk with AguinaldO.

Fined for Contempt.

ST. PAUL, MINI, October 22-Attorney
General Young Of Minnesota was ad-
judged In contempt of court by Judge
Lochren in the United States district
court and fined 500, which the attorney
general refused to pay. An appeal to the
United States Supreme Court will be
taken in the form of an application for
a writ of habeas corpus, as Mr.. Young
has been remanded to the custody of the
United States marshal. and the question
of whether the United States court has
the right to enjOin state from enforc-
ing the states laws will be finally disposed
of. The question involved Is whether an
officer or servant of a sovereign state
can be sued. 1t came up in the attempt
to enforce the commodity rate laws en-
acted by the last legislature. Judge Loeb
rem enjoined Attorney General Young
from enforcing the law. and Included the
state railroad and warehouse commission
and any shipper. Thereupon Attorney
General Young brought mandamus pro-
ceedirgs in the Ramsay county district
court to compel the railroads doing bust
ness in Minnesota to revise their COM
modify rates according to the state law.
