Heavy Expense Caused by High Wa
ter and Ice.

Salem, March S.-The regular
monthly meeting of the board of
portage railroad commissioners was
held in the governors office yester-
day, Secretary Benson being the only
absent member. At the end of Feb
ruary the operating expenses of the
road were $500 more than the earn
ings.
According to superintendent Steel
smiths report. this was caused part
ly by high water, ice blockades, and
the labor required in the raising of
wharf boats sunk during the storms.
The road earned $1O0.90, and the dis
bursements were S400.70, Cor the
month of February. At least $125
was the extra expense caused by the
above named causes
The members of the board, Gov
ernor Chamberlain and State Treas
urer Steele, excepting Secretary Ben
son, who is i'll, will visit the road and
make an inspection tour over 1t next
week. In his report the superintend-
ent says
The cost of operation for the
month was materially increased by
the expense of labor on wharf boats
sunk during the recent ice blockade.
In this connection, I have to report
the wharf boat at Big Eddy in very
bad condition.

bill REJECTED BY COUNTY COURT

BY action of the county court to-
day the bill for the expenses of the
coroners inquest held over the re-
mains of the five Indians burned in
the Jail short time ago was rejected
The total expense incurred amounted
to $93, and the amount is for jurors
and witnesses fees, salary Of ste
nographer, and livery hire.
In rejecting the bill the court took
the ground that since the Indian de-
partment has held that the county
does not have jurisdiction upon the
reservation the government and not
the county should stand the expense
of the inquest. 1t It presumed the bill
will be presented to the department
through the local agent and the ac-

tions existing between the sheriff
and the prisoner.

last night. About hundred law
yers gathered to consider the action
of Superior Judge Hebbard in grant

Chicago, March 9.-Dowie died at
7:40 a. m. in Shiloh house, Zion City.
At his bedside were only his personal
attendants. Freeman Haenel, a white
servant. John Hershfield, negro, and
Judge Barnes. He was as we'll yes
terday afternoon as at any time for
six weeks. At midnight he became
delirious and imagined he was holding
religious services. He denounced an
imaginary interrupter, and ordered
the guards to Put that man out" The
deliriurG lasted until daylight. AS he
grew weaker his attendant called
Judge Barnes. The prophet was un-
conscious when Barnes arrived and
never regained consciousness.
Had Faith i'm Dowie's Character.
Barnes never believed the charges
of fraud and immortality preferred
against Dowie, but thought him insane
during the last few years. Barnes
was a member of Voliva's council, but
remained a supporter of Dowie's per-
sonality.
Dowie's wife. his son Gladstone, and
his father. John Murray, are at their
summer home near Muskegon, Mich,
which was retained to Mrs. Dowie dur
ing the receivership proceedings.
None ever held personal enmity
against the leader, thinking him
insane. His wife and son will un-
doubtedly come.
Ever since the court proceedings
Dowie held services in Shiloh house
until six six weeks ago. Attendents
carried him to the audience chamber.
For six weeks past he has ben unable

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 inham-
ed you have rambling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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 are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infained condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
