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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely 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 cause by catarrh, which is nothing
but ninhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S

If the reader is at all interested in
the purchase Of piano or organ,
We ask you to read this announce
ment carefully, as it IS of vital i'm
portance to you.
Early last fall we contracted for
our fall and winter stock. We bought
unusually heavy in anticipation OF
a large trade. This stock was
shipped, or as much Of It as we coa.d
possibly crowd in our warerooms and
storage rooms.
But ''the best laid plans o mice
and men gang aft aglee.' The pc
Rod of business depression that
swept over the country affected the
piano business and trade during the
late fall and early winter fell off.
So we find ourselves now overload
ed with stock, top-heavy in fact, a
stock entirely too large for our needs.
Our store is crowded to the doors
with goods. Our storage rooms are
full, and to. make the matter worse
we have something like 100 pianos
bought and paid for at the differ
ent factories that have not been
shipped, and the factories are insist
ing on shipment.
To relieve ourselves of this situa-
ton we have decided TO offer this
surplus stock to the people of this
state at prices that will quickly move
every instrument out of our store to
homes.

Did you ever notice that, as rule,
there are more girls than boys in at
tendance in the advanced grades of
the public schools all over the coun-
try? Why is this? They leave school,
many of them, in their early teens, as
soon as they are able to get a job of
some kind, or place in some store or
office, under the impression that they
are wasting time by remaining in
school longer. The average boy
thinks that if he gets some business
position that will enable him to earn
few dollars month, and that looks
toward his final occupation in life,
while his class-mate sticks to school a
few years longer, he has just SO many
years the start OF his companion who
remains in school. Now the real facts
in the case are that the reverse is true,
The boy who remains in school and
acquires a thorough education, lays a
foundation that, other things being
equal will enable him to surpass his
class-mate who left school three OF
four years earlier.

Decided That North E
Street Should Be Paved. but
No Sidewalks Laid.

Add Much to Assessment
And This Is Why They Are
Opposed-Cost to City.

At a recent meeting held by the man
ufacturers whose establishments are
located on North f street between
Tenth and Sixteenth streets. it was viz
tually decided that they would with
draw all opposition TO the paving Of
that section of North f street provid-
not insist that the proposed improve
ments should include cement walks
These business men favored the plan of
placing cement curb and cutters
George SedeI Of the Seidel Carriage
company, was appointed to arrange a
meeting between representatives OF the
manufacturing interests interested by
the proposed improvements and the
board of public works. This meeting
will be held in the near future
b. B. Johnson and w. p. O'Neal. of
the board, state that the placing of
cement sidewalks on both sides of
North E street from Tenth street to
Sixteenth street, is not imperative. 1t
is understood that the board will Of
fer no objections TO compromise
agreement to have only the street
paved and cement curbs and cutters
placed.
The board has sent statements to the
manufacturers showing what the ap-
proXimate cost of the proposed i'm
prOvements would be. In this state
ment it is estimated that the cost of
the Improvements TO the property own
ers, not including sidewalks, would
amount to 22.43 per lineal foot With
the walks the cost would amount TO
about $50 per lineal foot. The city
would bear no share of the cost of plac-
ing the sidewalks. but would pay one
tenth of the cost of paving the street
and placing the cement curbs and gut
ters. This would mean that the city
would pay % cents per lineal foot on
the cost of these improvements. With
the sidewalks included in the improve
ments, it is estimated that the total
cost to the property owners would be
$24 ,22S, while the total cost to the city
would amount to S7.7O9.
Mr.JOhnson of the board states that
he recognizes thesterrible condition of
North d street is in. but that he does
not think steps should be taken this
year to pave that street. The city, he
states. has planned for so many pub
lie improvements this. year that il
cannot afford to have North d street
paved He is of the opinion. howev
er, that North E street should be paw.

Seems That Albert Mcclure
Worked a Clever Game on
Coal Mining Companies
Shipping to Richmond.
STORY AS ATTORNEYS
AND OTHERS TELL 1T.
Claimed That Attractive Let
ter Heads Aided His Scheme
-SpecuIators Were Bit, 1t
Is CIaimedo

Albert f. Mcclure. known among
local attorneys as the most sued man
in Wayne county" has been made the
defendant in another civil action.
This action is brought by the Wagner
Manufacturing company. 1t is Il suit
on account and the demand is for
$3.50.
Young Mcclure the past winter has
worked an absolutely novel game on
various coal mining companies and
Wholesale dealers in coal outside the
city. Mcclure gets the money but
his victims do not. the attorneys state.
They also state that he cannot be held
for on any criminal charge.
This morning county official and a
we'll known local attorney disclosed
the scheme Mcclure used in work
ing" the coal concerns who have been
his victims.
A coal mining company, they stated
in explaining McClure's system, would
ship to Richmond one or two cars OF
coal for speculative purposes. Nc
Clure would notice these cars stand
ing on sidings awaiting purchasers.
He would then write 70 the coal COM
panies in question, using spIandidly
engraved stationary which gave the
impression that he was a prosperous
coal dealer. and offered to buy the
coal providing the company would
pay the freight and the track demur-
rage. His proposition would be ac-
cepted. il is stated. and then Mcclure
would sell the coal at price way be-
low the local market price Mcclure.
it is claimed, would in every case for
get to pay his coal bill after disposing
of the contents OF the car.
Il know OF a case where Mcclure
Sent in an order, under his splendid
looking letter head to an out of town
coal company. asking that a car of
coal be shipped to him immediately On
credit, His order was complied with.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
same company had short time pre-
vious turned down similar order sent
in by one of the most reliable and sub
stantial coal concerns in this citv.''

They Knew of Morrisson-

Judge John {. Robinson. of Spencer.
who is sitting as special judge on the
Hancock circuit bench at Greenfield.
TO hear the case of Fremont Clifford.
against the City of Richmond. has
heard al the testimony introduced by
both sides of the case and this even
ing he will hear the arguments of the
attorneys. The last witness in the
case testified late yesterday afternoon.
In this case the city is represented b.
City Attorney +. J. Study and Attor-
ney W. W. Cook of Greenfield.
Mr.. Study was in the city today and
stated that he was confident that the
court would rule in favor of the city.
If he does not do this, it is almost an
assured fact that he will render a spe-
cial finding in favor of the plaintiff
which would permit the city to take an
appeal 10 the supreme court"
Mr.. Study says that the city intro
uuCtu all the evidence NnlCn was III
troduced at the previous hearings OF
the cause, and besides tn court admit
ted the testimony of Arthur A. Curme,
local court reporter. and Attorney VI.
u. Johnson. both of whom figured In
the Morrisson-Reeves case. Their
testimony could not be introduced in
previous hearings. Both Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. Curme testified that an inyen-
tory of the stock in the Morrisson-
Plummer Drug company. ~as submit
ted to the court during the hearing OF
the Morrison Reeves case.
II will be remembered that Clifford
conteuded that he had discovered"
this stock. while working under a con-
tract given by the city TO search for
secluded taxables outside the city. and
that he had placed IT on the city tax
duplicate. The testimony OF Mr.
Curme and Mr.. Johnson is OF great
benefit TO the city as IL bears out the
contention made by the defense that
the stock in question was known of.
prior TO the time Clifford was en-
ployed by the city.
