Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There il only one way to cure deaf
ness. and chat is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhaued condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result aud unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed 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

dislocations, lacerations, bleeding,
etc, with practical instruction in the
use of bandage and in the transporta-
tion of the injured.
The object of the class is to teach
the men to care for the injured in
cases of minor accident, where the
services of physician are not neces-
sary and also to know what to do in
cases of serious accident until the ar
rival of a physician, and above all
what not to do in all cases.
The first session of the class Will be
held next Thursday evening at s
o'clock and will continue on the same
evening for ten weeks. At the end of
that time an examination will be held
and diplomas awarded by the First

Thieves at WashingtonvilIe.

The store of George K. Heddens, at
Washingtonville, early Sunday morn
ing was the scene of bold attempt at
robbery, which was frustrated by
the warning given by burglar alarm
that aroused the proprietor and sub
sequently the whole neighborhood,
soaring the robbers into hasty retreat
just after they had gained an entrance
to the store.
Mr.. Heddens' store is in a building
separated from his home by about ten
feet, and burglar alarm connects the
two structures. Sunday morning
about o. clock Just when the storm
was raging its fiercest, Mrs Heddens
was awakened by the alarm sounding
Her husband heard it at almost the
same instant. He rushed to the wind
ow with his revolver and fired five
shots into the air in quick succession
to arouse the neighborhood.
The reports had the desired effect
for a number of men, soon pouring in
to the street, saw disappearing down
the road the forms of at least two of
the burglars
An examination of the store showed
that the door had been forced. In the
store were about s2900 which the
burglars had evidently not had time
to procure. Mrs. Heddens is the
teacher of the Derry township school.
and on Saturday evening she received
two months salary, amounting to
$4,000. 1t is thought that the thieves
were aware of her possession of this
amount, and that it was their inten-
tion to secure the'school teachers pay

TWO CASES
WERE ARGUED

4 session of argument court was
held on Saturday morning with His
Honor Judge Evans and Associate L.
W. Welliver ON the bench.
The first case argued related to the
inquisition on the body of Joseph Z.
Birks, who lost his life at the Ger
mania brewery by drinking carbolio
acid by mistake.
W. V. Oglesby, acting coroner, ad-
dressed the court, explaining why he
deemed an inquest necessary. There
was uncertainty as to how Birks got
hold of the bottle of carbolic acid
whether it was wantonly handed to
him by another and thus deceived
drank of the contents, or whether he
took the bottle out of another pocket
and unnotioed drank of it. In the act
ing coroner's opinion an inquest was
necessary to decide this point.
E. S. Gearhart followed for the
county commissioners, who contested
payment of the costs of holding the
inquest. Mr.. Gearhart cited long
array of technical objections, in addi-
tion to which he claimed that the act
ing coroner did not comply with the
rules of the court in the matter.
The rules referred to, it was claim
ed by Mr.. Oglesby, were adopted by
the court at a date subsequent to the
holding of the inquest.
Judge Evans stated that he would
file brief opinion at the next session.
Exceptions to the decree of court in
the case between the overseers of the
poor of Limestone township and the
overseers Of the poor of West Hemlock
township were argued at length by W.
II. Hackenburg, of Milton, and w.
Kase West of this city. The court took
