Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inf1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (causey by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

FAULTLESS,,F|RE
FIGHTING FORCE
REPORT OF CHIEF OF FIRE DE.
PARTMENT SHOWS ENCOUR.
AGING CONDITIONS.

During the year ending June 30.
Walla Walla's fire department an
swered .73 alarms, travelled $50 miles
in doing so, protected buildings and
contents worth $64O,O00 and in such
a ms....er that there was but $2477 net
loss on said property. If there is a
city of $4,000 in the United States
that has a better record, it is yet to be
heard from.
OF the 70 alarms turned in, "a were
box alarms, 29 were telephoned, and
10 were still" alarms The department
laid 1890 feet of hose, used II tanks
of chemical, nine extinguishers and
stacked COS feet of ladders. The actual
working time the department spent in
putting out the fires was so hours and
SO minutes.
The value of the buildings at risk
was s366,OO0; upon contents, $274,00O.
The loss on buildings was sS,o26; on
contents, $6,S51.7O. The insurance cut
this loss down to the figure given
above a total loss, uninsured, of but
s2,477.20.
Causes of Fires.
The causes of the fires were varied.
Ten were from defective f1ues, nine
from defective chimneys, eight remain
unknown. six were false, three were
grass fires. two were caused by cigars
and cigarettes, three by the small boy
and the match, three were lncendlafy,
three were from lamp explosions, five
were from overheated stoves and the
remainder were from various causes.
Walla Walla's fire department at
present is composed of % men, as fol-
lows: Chief Metz, the assistant chief,
one electrician. two engineers, Is driv-
ers, pipemen and laddermen.
The apparatus consists of first and
a second class steamer, chemical en-
CINE. a combination wagon, a supply
wagon a hook and ladder truck and
chiefs wagon, all in good condition. "A
third class engine and hose wagon are
in poor condition, being almost worn
out Harness for the horses is In good
condition, there being IA horses in &C
tive service There is in use by the de-
partment. $3.50 feet Of two and one
half inch hose, all in good condition. A
complete fire alarm system is also IN
first class condition.
These facts are taken from the an
nual report of the workings of the hre
department and the semi-annual state
ment of it's condition, which will be
read to the city counsel at it's meeting
tonight.
At that time Chief Metz will make the
following recommendations to the
council for the department next year:
That 1000 feet of new hose be at once
purchased; that 10 fire alarm boxes
be put in each year to keep pace with
the growth of the city and to protect
districts now without fire boxes; that
No. l hose wagon be put out of COM
mission, as it is nearly worn out; that
a combination chemical and hose au-
tomobile wagon be bought in the near
future. The chief will point out that
Hartford, Conn.,, maintained such a
wagon for IA months for $6S and made
IS runs with it in half the time horse

The results of the Investigations of the
State Excise Commission, which is on its
way about the state probing into the work
being done by the several excise boards and
the county and city officials, are such as to
make the ordinary citizen gasp to read of
the acts Of omission and commission which
are being perpetrated in this State. With
out any apparent shame whatever the mem
bers OF Camden's Board, the Mayor and
Prosecutor told that they knew that the
Sunday laws were being violated, but they
attempted to excuse themselves on the
grounds that there had been no complaints
made to them.
The public officers, representatives of the
people, unwilling to uphold the laws of the
State, plainly written upon the statute
books when they know that the laws that
they are sworn to uphold aud enforce are
being yioIated-indeed it is sorry sight
for New Jersey. Ii was asserted at the last
election that the brewers and rum sellers
were electing the Republicans to Office, and
the people laughed-those who did not
know and ought to have cared. Senator
Hincheliffe, after she election said it was
she brewers who elected Governor Fort, and
there was another laugh. But when the
fact is admitted BY the Republican leaders
themselves surely she truth must be be-
lieved.
The fact is illustrative OF Republican
fidelity TO duty, of their ''holier than thoun
statements and attitude, and il she state is
benefited by the results Of the investiga-
tions shat are now being conducted, the
praise must be accorded to Governor Fort,
the man, rather shan to sac Republican
party and the leaders who hold and dis
tribute the offices, for while she law was
being broken under their very noses, and
with their knowledge, they slept.

Tight money and slow collections drove
the Pillsbury Washborn Flour Mills, the
largest in the world into the hands Of re-
ceiyers on Saturday. The company had
branches in all OF the large cities OF the
country, and in all Of them ancillary re-
oeiyers are being appointed. Outside Of she
fact Of the failure Of she firm, there must be
some great cause for it, that is, which
causes the tight money and slow collections.
That cause is, without doubt, the Republic
can empty dinner pail, the same dinner
pail'' that was full when the Republicans
were put into Office four years ago. They
have had she entire moulding Of the for
tunes of the country eyer since, with neither
q Democratic house or senate TO hamper
them in giving the country the prosperity
and "full dinner pail' that was promised.
Have Republican policies produced the full
dinner pail ? They produced riot when in
Camden, men were ADVERTISED for on Mon
day to fill few positions HaYe these
policies brought any beneficial results to
the country in the last four years? II SO,
what are they II not,i the largest manu-
featuring concerns in the country are shak-
ing, if credit is not obsainable, if bills are
uucollecbable, if riots are to result when a
man is sought to earn his daily bread at
laborer's wages, why should the creators of
such conditions be kept in power to con-
tinue hard times longer?
This is the question that the voters Of the
country will be called upon to answer next
November, and il is well to ponder oyer
such questions carefully before the glitter
ing promises Of election time, and trust
paid bands Of music would make even the
starving men forget to reflect.

The panic of last winter, and which, the
Republicans say either was no panic, or is
all over, but which, nevertheless, occasion
ally drives some substantial mercantile
house or corporation to the wall, is gener-
ally admitted to be ''financier's panic. +"
In this connection it would not be unwise
to remember that the ''fnanciersn are
Wall Street, that Wall Street nominated
Taft, that Wall Street is supporting Taft,
and that four years of Taft means four years
Of Wall Street. And four years of Wall
Stress and its dnanoiers means panic The
voters must say whether she answer is TO be
yes or no. Wall Street is opposed TO Bryan.
Ii says so. It says 1T likes Taft better.
Surely the question answered with Bryan,
spells another word than panic.

The Constitutional Amendments.

AT the recent session Of our legislature
amendments 10 the State Constitution were
proposed. These amendments are now
being advertised to allow voters to become
familiar with the provisions to be changed.
There are three amendments one pro-
viding for the separation OF State and mu-
nicipal elections. The State and county
election are to fall on even years the mu-
nicipal elections on the odd years. To
meet this change the Governors term is
changed to four years instead of three, the
Senator's to four instead OF three, the AS
semblymen's to two years instead OF one,
the Sheriffs, County Clerks and Surrogates to
four years or six years to carry them over
to seven years.
The second amendment provides for the
organization Of the courts. The new court
is TO consist of appellate, law and equity
divisions. The new Supreme Court wonld
sHpercede the present Court Of errors and
Appeals, Chancery and Supreme Courts, and
the court would consist OF President, JUS
sice, Chancellor and eighteen Justices. The
details are provided for at length. The
Court of Pardons would be reconstructed
and would consist Of the Governor and four
citizens to be appointed by him for fiye-year
terms.
The third amendment increases the sal
aries Of Senators and Assemblymen from
$500 to 81, 900 year.
The Assemblymen from counties having
more than one representative are to be
elected by districts, and the court of last
resort, by whateYer name known, is to
have original jurisdiction to prevent gerry
Wandering.
The propositions are all reasonable and
should command the appoval Of the coming
Legislature and Of the people when the
special election comes around in September,
1909. [Sunbeam.
