Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition Of the NIT
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken oul and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which IS nothiny hut
IN infiamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

FAV0RS CENTRAL BANK.
Former Director Of Mint Roberts Dis
cusees Financial Legislation.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-George e. Rob
erts, former director of the United
States mint, now president of the
Commercial National bank of Chicago,
in addressing the Mems club Of st.
Luke's Episcopal church of Evanston,
announced he was heartily in favor of
the establishment of a central gov
ernmental bank.
THE time has come he said, when
the United States must follow the ex-
ample of every other important coun-
try of the world and establish a gov
ernmental bank 1t should be one not
antagonistic to the existing national
banks, but supplementary to their sys-
TEN, as their Crowning head with it's
capital apportioned among the 5000
national banks according to their cap
ital. The benefits that would accrue
to the country from such an institu-
tion cannot be Overestimated."
Mr.. Roberts placed the blame for
the present panic upon the lack Of
any legal provision for a sudden in
crease in the supply of currency.
Il suppose it is too much to hope
for any competent and efficient cur
| rency legislation by the next con-
| gress," he continued "It is a large
| and cumbersome body and when you
| consider that there is much difference
of opinion among bankers on the sub,
| ject it is no wonder that the con.
| gressmen are confused"

ployed Walton to ansist in packing
some of her furniture. At night Wal
ton, with the intention of stealing
some of the valuables which he had
noticed in her rooms, climbed through
window and strangled Mrs. Grant
while she lay in bed. He gave some
Of the jewelry to a colored woman
and through this he was traced and
finally arrested at Springfield, Ill He
made free confession as soon as
captured and when arraigned in court
entered a plea of guilty. Judge Bren'
tano, who passed sentence of death
upon the prisoner, was urged by Wal
ton to make the date earlier than that
of Dec. 13. The Judge replied: 81
very much regret that the law will
not permit me to fix an earlier time
During his confinement in the coun
ty Jail Walton has repeatedly declared
that he was anxious to be hanged as
soon as possible and has made great
show of religious conversion.

WILL GUST HARTMAN
Stuyvesant Fish Hopes to Con-
troll Illinois Central.
FILES AFFIDAVIT In COURT
Asserts That the Retirement of Harri-
man Would Be "WeIcome Sign of
Returning Morality in Management
of Great Corporations"

Chicago, Dec. ~14.-"If I obtain q
majority of proxies to be voted at the
annual meeting of the Illinois Central
Railroad company l shall depose Ed
ward H. Hartman as a director" de-
clared Stuyvesant Fish in an affidavit
filed in the superior court. He also
asserted in the affidavit:
ITO everybody in the country the
removal of such an individual as Har-
riman is shown to be would be wei
come sign of returning morality in
the management of great corporations
of the country"
Mr.. Fish reiterated the statement
that Mr. Hartman is seeking control
Of the Illinois Central in the interest
of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Fish, in his affidavit, which is
a reply to that filed Thursday in the
name of Mr.. Hartman and other di-
rectors of the Illinois Central railroad,
says he has been a benefactor of ]. T.
Harahan, now president of the Illinois
Central He asserts that he saved
Harahan from dismissal several years
ago when Hartman and George A.
Peabody declared that Harahan had
outlived his usefulness to the COM
pany.

perfect harmony In the railroad COM
pany until the winter of 1904-5, when

be delegated. He says In the affidavit

tions of mismanagement made against

director of the Missouri Pacific rail

petitor of the Illinois Central, but
says that the charges that he desires
domination over the affairs of the I'LL
nois Central for the benefit Of the
Missouri Pacific railroad are false and
slanderouE.
