peafnes. Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucou lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation a
be token 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 infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any cas- of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

This is an increase in appropriation
over last year of 81, 720. 3s. There is
some question whether or not the tax
rate of S1.S5 will raise a sufficient
amount of money, as the City Board Of
Assessors are of the opinion that the
total valuations have decreased. City
Council may have to request the tax
board to increase the tax rate.

Green Is Held.

Justice Frank J. Lore gave Caleb
Green hearing Tuesday night on the
charge of stealing harness from Allen
D. Ackley of Deerfeld.
Mr., Ackley appeared as witness,
identified Green as the man who work
ed for him under the name of Lewis
Garrison, and also identified the har-
ness, which had been recovered.
David Feinburg testified that he pur-
chased some of the harness from
Green; that Green come to him and
told him that his horse had got hurt
and he had to shoot him, and as he
therefore had no use for the harness
any more he would sell it to him.
After the hearing the Justice re-
committed Green to Jail in default of
$500 bail for the Grand Jury.

It may be said that when appropria-
lions were made for the current fiscal
Year SIS, 900 was..allotted for streets and
$oads. Last year the appropriation
vas overdrawn to the extent of 81, 900.
his amount was taken from this
FEARS appropriation leaving balance
II S11, 900 for the work of the year
rom February to February.
N A glance at the figures of the Comp
roller shows that there is less than
$500 for the care and maintenance of
the streets from now until February
next. A deplorable state of affairs GER
Xainly.
n Since February there has been ex-
pended upon the streets of Bridgeton
within $500 of $11,Ooo. Many people
Ihre inquiring what for? There does
mot seem to have been anything like
f11, 600 worth of Improvements. In
Ethe Third ward practically $500 has
|been expended, and yet the very great
majority of the streets are in a
wretched condition. a..
Can it be said that the taxpayers
Ihave had value for the money paid?
&Do the street conditions indicate it?
q And what about the caring for. the
streets from now until February next?
Where is the money coming from to
3lean the paved streets? How are the
cutters to be kept open? What about
lean crossings? Are washouts to be
Efilled in, is snow to be cleared away?
IT the Mayor and City Comptroller de-
&llne to sign warrants for money when
appropriations are exhausted, then
here is serious trouble for the future.
N Another bit of interesting informa-
Ion was contained in the Comptroller s
eport relative to the water accounts.
IN the first day of February there was
IA the water account cash balance of
Ps 66S. 66. Since then $11, 900 has been
ceived in water rents, making a total
y r six months of the current fiscal
Par, of $50, O50 20. There has been

ers, lying idle and unproductive in

sented than these cold figures.

Chicago's Polish Population Celebrates
Inauguration of New Bishop.

Chicago, July 30-With a parade of
10000 men in uniform. the blare of
bands, the thrill of fireworks, the glare
of light, the gaiety of flags and bunt-
ing and gala attire, the pealing Of
church bells, the joy of feasting, the
excitement of oratory and bursts of
song, nearly 100000 men, women and
children revealed last night in one OF
the most remarkable festivals that
Chicago ever has seen.
sands Of Chicago of Polish descent was
actively. vociferously, hilariously cele-
brating through the streets.
Uniformed societies from every one
Of the 80 Polish parishes in the city
formed a great parade and escorted
from one to another of the four
churches OF the principal Polish dis
trict the cause of the demonstration,
the Right Rev. Paul Peter Rhode. the
new auxiliary bishop of Chicago and
first Polish-American elevated to the
Episcopacy of the Roman Catholic
church. A dramatic incident which
marked his conservation was eagerly
discussed last night by the ceiebrators.
When the clergy at the cathedral
formed in an impressive procession,
rich with the color OF the vestments,
crucif1xes and crosiers, to leave the
church. the choir. through with the
sacred ritual of the conservation,
swung enthusiastically yet prayerfully
into the strains of God Saves Poland"
the national hymn of the Polish peo-
pie.
Every Polish speaking person in the
cathedral. men and women. priests and
nuns. and above all the bishop-elect,
took up the plaintive measures of the
song. And as its sad Significance
touched them more deeply as they
thought of their countrymen lying in
the prisons of Russia, Prussia and
Austria for having dared to intercede
unsteady with the diety for their be-
loved country scores gave way to their
emotion and wept like children.

Santa Fe Shops VIII Not Shut Down
This Week

For the first time in a number of
months every department of the
Santa Fe shops will remain open all
good news to the shopmen whose
working time has been reduced from
time to time.
During June several different de-
partments of the shops were closed
entirely for a period of ten days or
more. When reopened the men were
put to work on reduced time
schedule. After July it was planne ID
to have the shops opened with the
exceptions of Friday and Saturday of
every week. This arrangement has
prevailed since.
Most of the shops at the present
time are running with nearly a full
complement of men. In the car re-
pair department which embraces
several of the different shops, the
working time was increased from
eight to ten hours a few weeks ago.
1t is thought probable that the entire
shops can be placed on a ten hour
schedule in short time.
The Santa Fe has handled the
shops in a manner that has won the
confidence of the employees during the
period of business depression. Nearly
all of the men were kept on the pay
roll and although at times there was
no work necessitating immediate at
tention the men were kept busy. Now
1t is planned to work the shops full
time and with the increased move
ment of freight due to the wheat
crop, no further trouble is expected in
keeping the shops in full operation.

FIRST DOCTOR IN THE FAMILY.
Fourth Son of the Kaiser Wins a
Decree.

Strasburg. July 30.-The University
Of Strasburg announced today that
Prince August, the fourth son of En-
peror William had passed his exami-
nation for the degree Of doctor in the
science of government with the en-
dorsement Every good on his papers
and that the title had been conferred
on him. This would seem to be the
first time that Hohenzolle1n
has taken the degree of doctor.
Prince August is the young man
whom the emperor some years aEo
intended sending to Harvard for the
completion Of his education. This
plan was not carried out because the
empress did not wish to be separated
from her son so long.
