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
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when It is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can he 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 in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

SEEK TO REPEAL
MAYORALTY LAW
MAYOR LOGAN RECEIVES
PLEA FOR ADJUSTMENT
OF PRESENT LAW.
Says He Declined to Help in Asking
The Legislature For Amend
ment.

There Is a movement on foot
throughout the State urging members
of the Legislature to repeal that part
OF the cities and towns act OF 1905
which prohibits mayors CT the vari-
Gus cities and towns from succeeding
themselves.
The movement Is said to be backed
by the mayors themselves, many Or
whom are anxious to continue ir
Office for another term of four years
Several meetings have been held and
a petition is now being circulated
throughout the State asking the next
Legislature to repeal the provision
The present law prohibits mayors
or city councilmen from running for
second terms. This, in the opinion OF
men who are interested in city gov,
eminent, is bad, though the intention
III creating the law was good.
The purpose of the law was to pre-
vent mayors from building up polti
cal machines and from leading the
city into corrupt governments.
The fault with the law is stated in
this way:
"As the law now stands. all the
councilmen and the mayor go out OF
office at the same time and a complete
new SET of officers are elected This
leaves nobody in or at the head OF
city admini stration that knows the
details of the past history of the city
government. Questions that have
been considered and disposed of, will
come up again, and the city will con-
sider them as II they were new, thus
losing valuable time for which the
taxpayers are paying. If there could
be an old councilman held over, he
corid explain briefly what has gone
before and avoid such a loss. 1t is
contended that it is as necessary 10
have somebody that understands city
government at the head Of city gov
eminent, as it as to have man at the
head OF business that understa nd.

Mayor Lawrence Becker of Ham
nond IS said to be the principal factor
IN the effort, and the Mayor II. A
Logan OF this city. has received a
copy OF the above petition, requesting
his signature Instead Mr.. Logan
wrote to Mayor Becker, telling him
that he ought to be ashamed of him
self, hat four years as Mayor ought
to be enough for anyone.

FEDERAL JUDGES SALARY.
Movement Made in Cities of State TO
Increase the Pay of National
Jurists

Attorneys of cities in this state
have been urged to aid in a move
ment to obtain the passage in Con-
gress of bill to increase the salaries
paid to Circuit and District judges
OF the Federal courts. A committee
OF New York lawyers has been organ
lied to urge the passage of the bill,
which provides that the salary OF the
Circuit judges shall be $4,000 year
and the salary of the district judges
$4,000. Pamphlets are being sent
out from New York to show reasons
why the salaries should be increased
The present salaries of the chief JUS
tees of the several States and Ter
rItories are set forth an rle pamph-
let in the form Of table, and it is
explained that except the judges in.
New York State, where the subject
has been dealt with in a LIBERAL spirit
there are My two judges of them all
that receive as much as $4,000 a year
%DiN I'e hAdJoiuty Vi liClll ICCc1Nc less
than half this sum-"
In regard to the present salaries of
circuit and district judges, it is set
forth that there are twenty-nine
United States circuit Judges, and
their salary is $1,000 each, and eighty
two United States district judges, and
their salary is $4,000 each"
A summary of the duties of these
district and circuit judges is then Civ
en- to show the amount of legal knowl-
edge necessary to pr perly fill such
an Office and the responsibility. 1t is
explained that there was a bill before
Congress to raise the salaries OF the
district judges to $4,000 and of the
circuit judges to $4,000, and that "a
total appropriation of only 1898, 900
a year is required o increase the pay
OF all the Federal judges by $4,000
each, and this increased salary surely
would be small enough" A table is
given to show that higher salaries are
paid to judges of New York than to
United States judges, and higher sal
aries paid to- the judges in England
than in the United States.

POLITICS HINDER
THE EDUCATION
PROGRESS OF SCHOOLS DE-
PEND UPON THE COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT.
State Superintendent Says This is
Especially True in Cities and in
Townships.

Fassett A. Cotton, state superinten-
dent OF public instruction, in his No
vember bulletin to THE teachers OF the
state, discusses the organization and
operation OF Indiana's school system.
He says that the constant progress OF
the schools of county depends upon
the energy, intelligence and sanity OF
the county superint endent." Mr. Coz
ton says further that the schools OF
Indiana appear to suffer most from
polticS as encountered in the town.
ship, cities and towns Mr. Corton as
serts that the hope OF education in
Indiana lies In divorce from politics.
He believes the qualifications OF the
county superintendent should be
hose of the most experienced edu-
GATOR; that the superintendent should
&c graduate OF standard college,
and in addition ito that he should
nave experience in teaching both in
the grades and in the high school.
In filling tae place he believes poll
@cs should be barred; that the salary
should be sufficient to secure the best
talent; that the superintendent hould
De responsible for the teachers tha,
are chosen; that he should be allowed
clerk to assist him and that he
should be gwen supervisor for
every forty or fifty teachers unde
him.
Perhaps" says Mr. Cotton, taxing
up the question OF politics in the
schools, "the Offices of town, town
hip and city trustees are most ope
to The criticism OF politics. In the
arst place There are no legal qualih-
ratfons for trustees, and the office is
cons dered fair political spoils. Un-
der the conditions the marvel Is fiat

moved from politics. The best quail

pride. He should be a student of

judge OF men and women. In addition

The Bryanites under the leadership of

Yesterday afternoon at 2:25 o'clock,
John M. Mcclellan, Of NaseI, man
OF S. years, and one of the best known
and most highly respected citizens Of
the lower Columbia territory, was de-
liberately shot to death by Michael
Campbell, on the deck Of the power
launch Lexington, as that vessel APP
preached Wilhelm's Landing on Deep
River.
The story, as given by an eye
witness Of the tragedy, and a man Of
unimpeachable character for probity
and distinterestedness, is, that Mr..
Mcclellan was standing on the deck
of the power launch as it swung into
the landing, and noting Michael
Campbell on shore, nearby, and ap-
preaching the river bank, called out
to him reproachful message about
his, Campbell's, having once 'lied
about me" the exact wording of the
call having not been heard clearly by
anyone present. To this taunt Camp
bell and began talking to two friends
who stood on either side and very
close to him.
Without word of warning Camp
bell drew his six-shooter and taking
deliberate aim at McClellan's back
fired three shots into him, and his
victim fell across the housing Of the
launch, dying and gasping, sent two
more bullets into his body; then cody
replaced his revolver in his pocket
picked up an empty cream can, and
leisurely strolled back to his home
When he fired the shots he was moi
more than eight feet from his victim
one of the friends of the murdered
man being powder burned from tht
latter shots. The whole affair did mo-
occupy more than single minute O
time, and was a simple case of sheer
and heartless murder according to the

Yesterday was "Battleship Day" in
Astoria without any discount at all
BY 4 o'clock in the morning the
whole city was agog. People were
making hurried flights down the hills
and along the levels OF the city,
hunting the open restaurants for the
earlier breakfast than they usually
knew; and that dispensed, hurrying
still again 10 the waterfront TO board
the steamers and launches on which
they had secured their passage to the
various coast points OF vantage. And
II was a jolly host withai, with jest
and joke rampant everywhere and
pleasant expectations ahead for all
hands.
The Calender pier was the center
Of departure, so 10 speak, there being
seven OF the bay steamers and
launches for excursion purposes
berthed there. BY o'clock, the APP
pointed and tidal hour Of departure,
the steamers Melville, Wenona, Jor-
dan, Julia b., and the launches Hulda
i. and Queen, were soon peopled
with their respective quotas and
swung away down the bay, instantly
followed by the Electro, the Pilot No
z, tho Patrol, and numerous other
swift craft, until shortly line OF
dozen or more was headed for the
sheltered waters of llwaco Bay, and
6s minutes later each and all were
snugly docked in the beautiful blight
that lies under the frowning heights
OF Candy, and a thousand excursion.
lists, men, women and children, were
soon swarming over the headlands,
the ubiquitous lunch basket being the
sign and substance everywhere.
Later in the morning the A, 4 c.
special trains to the coast resorts left
the city loaded with hundreds Of eager
passengers bound for all the places
between the jetty and Tillamook
Head; and the ocean-going craft Of
the hour pulled out for the deeper
waters with still other hundreds, all
equipped and anxious for the best
possible view and contact with the
great white fleet that was due to pass
the Columbia bar at high noon.
1t was a holiday in Astoria after 10
o'clock in the morning Practically
every business house, bank and public
and private Office was closed, and the
people that remained In the city,
sought the lofty points Of view at
the propitious hour for catching the
farther sight of the passing squad;
rons; nor will it be denied in any
quarter that the day was one of real
enjoyment to all hands.
