Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not 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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
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 (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Gov. Campbell opened his campaign
at Terrell Saturday. Honestly, we be-
lieye. Gov. Campbell will have the
race of his life. The peculiar politi-
cal conditions existing in Texas and
the feeling Of resentment to the pre-
sent tax-laws on the part of the peo-
pie, makes the outlook anything but
bright. The Smith-Brown campaign
of Georgia may be repeated here.
In that campaign Gov. Hoke Smith
made hard campaign of speech
mailing. But Brown simply gave the
people his views in one speech, 1t
seems. The people stand for the man
who stayed at home. There Is live
wire dangling over Gov. Campbell,
and unless his friends get busy he
is a goner.-McKinner Examiner.

Some one said that the Mr.. Will
iiams who is running against Mr..
Campbell for the gubernatorial
throttle is a crank" Just what is
the basis for such a statement would
be difficult to discern since the plat
form upon which Mr. Williams is
standing seems to be anything but
the effusion of crank" In the can
did opinion of many. Texas would
not be hurt one bit if she had Mr..
Williams for governor 1t is not be-
lieved he has even a shadow of a
chance to get the nomination over
Governor Campbell, since the latter
is now offering for his second term,
but it would be well to keep Mr.. Will
liams in mind for future reference.

GIRL KIDNAPPED In NEW YORK.

Gus charge of having abducted II
year-old girl of a prominent family
in Hartford, Conn.
She is Anna Louise Behner, daugh-
ter of Louise Behner, an officer of
the Hartford Incurance Co. The
father for months has been pursuing
Shaw with private detectives in order
to avoid the unenviable notoriety of
having the police work on the case.

Fears Daughter is Dead.
I'm afraid Nan is dead" he said,
confessing that he was at the end
of his resources. Il have not been
able to get single trace of her after
she left Hartford with Shaw on a
;rh Go I'll,
1907.
In half dozen cities my detec-
tives have picked up the mans trail,
but he was always alone. He has
either deserted my girl or made away
with her.. And If she were alive
think she would have written or
come home long ago.
To further complicate the mys-
terry, 1t has been discovered that
Shaw's wife, Caroline, who had
maintained apartments in st. Paul
street, Boston, for months previous
to last July, disappeared from there
on the very day that her husband
took young Miss Behner away from
Hartford.
And the search SO far has revealed
no more trace of the wife than of
the girl Shaw, according to the dec
tectives' reports, has turned up every
few weeks, entering good society in
cities he visited-on the strength of
the forged letters of introduction
and getting away just before his
checks were found to be bogus.
Man of Small Stature.
He is little man, about feet 4
inches tall, weighs only 40 pounds
and is 80 years old. He is from Mont
gomery, Ala, originally.
The real Lieut.. Lewis Smith Cox
Jr., is a strapping big man and is
from New Jersey. He is a graduate
from Annapolis and is at present
with his ship, the Minneapolis, with
the Pacific fleet He is almost as
eager to get hold of his imperson-
ator as Mr.. Behner is. In several
cities he has been embarrassed by
checks purporting to bear his sig
nature. He has got the government
to work, and threatens physical re-
venge on the side in case he runs
afoul of the little forger.
Shaw appeared in Hartford in the
spring of 1907. He had a dozen let-

tiers of introduction to some of the
best families in the city, some sign
ed with the names of prominent ma
val officers, others purporting to
have been written by society folks
elsewhere. He wore the undress uni
form of lieutenant, and never APP
peared in civilian garb. That alone
should have made his new friends
suspicious, for officers on leave do
not wear uniforms.
Used Sailors Swagger.
But Shaw had sailors swagger
and was a clever conversationalist.
He had the names and doings of high
naval officers down pat. There was
an anchor tattooed on one of his
arms. He was altogether the dash
ing nautical man.
1t was not long before he met
the Behners, who moved in the best
society of Hartford His devotion to
Nan soon became pronounced. The
girl was entranced with his smart
manners and glowing stories of ad-
ventures in all ends of the earth.
Mr.. Behner on July IS remonstra-
ted with the supposed lieutenant be-
cause the latter had allowed the i'm
preston to go abroad that his en-
gagement to Miss Behner would soon
be announced

but | want to be engaged to her,
so that when | come back from my
we can be married.
MIR. Behntr agreed to let the young
man resume his attentions, if the
girl were still free. when the two
years had passed.
The very night of this converse
ton, Nan" was sent out on a trif-
ling Grand Shaw, still in uniform
waited around a corner for her. He
was seen later-according to witness
-half-assisting half-dragging the
girl to the railroad station. The
father believes he may have drugged
her. Other witnesses saw them board
ing the train. Miss Behner had with
hnr nn1U no hn hui
had several valuable pieces of jew
e1ry.
Detectives Discover Truth.
When the girl did not return next
day, her father at once hired pri-
vate detective, who learned the bo-
gus lieutenant's identity, and also
discovered the disappearance of his
wife from Boston
Shaw's photographs and criminal
record have been sent to the police
of every large city in the country
The father of his young victim, in
his Hartford home last night, said:
Il have been assured that the po-
lice and government will keep up
the search for years if necessary
And If they don't, | will, If it takes
every penny and every year of my
life.
Il don't believe the scoundrel mar
ried my daughter | think he either
deserted her or made way with her
soon after they left here My wife
has given up hope altogether and
have been very near that stage sever
al times. If Nan is alive now she is
IS years old though she looks more
than that. But she was only IT when
that william stole her, and he is
guilty of abduction.
The strangest part about it all Is
we haven't found a single instance
where Shaw had with him a woman
resembling either his wife or my
daughter"

Railroad Work Resumed

The Copper River & Northwestern railway, the Guggenheim Alaska road, has resumed operations on the Katalla branch, extending from tide water at Katalla to the coal fields, about twenty-five miles. Operations on this section of the Guggenheim road were suspended last fall pending the settlement of the rights of coal land locators in Alaska by congress. The Guggenheim and Morgan inter- ests have taken about 2,SOO acres Of coal lands near Katalla and the con- struction of the Katalla branch is in- tended to open these fields.
 As soon as word was received that the Alaska coal bill had been passed by congress and signed by the presi- dent, M. J. Heney, who has the con- tract for the construction of the Cop per River & Northwestern, was ad- vised to resume operations on the Ka- talla division and the camps that were abandoned last fall are being reopend as rapidly as possible. About ten camps will be opened by July l, ac- cording to the latest advices received from the north. In the meantime the construction is being rushed on the Cor dova division which is being constrcted to the Bonanza copper mine.

Death May Result

From the last reports concerning Mary Palmer of Cook inlet, who met with an accident when alighting from a street car in Seattle, it is probable that she will die from the result of the injury sustained by the fall. The Seat tl9 Times under date of June 10 states that the girl went to the theatre, and later called at the Palace Hotel to visit her stepfather, G. w. Palmer, who was staying there.
 At the conclusion of the visit she boarded a Queen Anne car and started home. When the car arrived at the top of Queen Anne hill she alighted, doing so while the car was still in motion. She fell, striking the back of her head on the pavement. She sus- tained a fractured skull and was hadly bruised.

Anent the Alaska Central

Snow x Watson, Spokane railroad contracting firm, are willing to pro- ceed with construction work on the Alaska Central if they ate pledged the support of the railroad. It is declared if Judge Reid names two receivers and certificates are issued to cover con- struction costs, the contractors will immediately resume work.
 Fifty-three miles of work have al- ready been constructed and the grade is practically completed to Mile 69. There are enough steel rails on the ground to lay seventy-eight miles of track and the railroad contractors be- lieve if they are authorized to begin immediately seventy-fve miles can be completed by fall.
 With the completion of seventy-fve miles of track the Alaska Central will be within easy striking distance of the big coal fields the road is anxious to reach immediately. There is consid- erable heavy work between mile posts 75 and lC5, but beyond the lo5th mile construction either to the coal fields or into Fairbanks is simple. In the thirty miles that the contractors ex- pect to have ahead of them this fall before reaching level ground and easy work there are but two big rock cuts. In one of these 24,0O0 yards must be removed and in the second cut of l6,- 900 yards is necessary. The rest of the work is side cut, comparatively easy. Those interested in the Alaska Central believe by the construction Of the road to mile 105 the Fairbanks, Susitna and other traffic will be dl- verted to their line.-Seattle Times.

To Get Gold From Glacier

Valdez is about to take unto it's el the glorieS of a gold mining headquar- ters. True, there is not much excite ment attached to the newly acquired honor and it will not be until along in that announcement will be made of the result of operations, but all that to the contrary gold mining is to begin and a company for the pur- pose has been organized.
 The plan, which is a child of the brains of President Brown and Sec retary-treasurer Grigsdy, is to con- struct a Hume, three feet wide, three feet deep and fifty feet long and to build therein rifles in which will be placed quicksilver, the whole to be placed where the waters of the glacier will flow through it and deposit their golden burden, which will follow the dictates of affinity and amalgamate with. tee quicksilver. The rest will be easy.
 It is known that the glacier waters carry gold in small quantities and if the scheme proves a success it will be worked on a larger scale Valdez Prospector.
