 Crane Is Leader.
 The appointment of Senator Crane to that post would serve d double pur pose. He is the head and front of the anti-Taft alliance, in the first place, and would insure the hearty support of the allies for the Taft ticket. Cranes acceptance of the job would be an as surance that Taft was 'all right"
 Next Cranes selection as treasurer would leave the Tafters free to choose some younger, more aggressive and Deliver of Iowa-for the vice presi dency. And such an arrangement is what the Tafters would like. con servative like Crane to keep the in terests' in line and get a campaign fund and a semi-radical like Deliver to get the warm support of the Roose veltians of the party. That arrange ment would include Harry s. New for chairman of the committee and Elmer Dover as secretary. both of who have been trained under Hanna and Cortel- you in getting constitutions.
 In the event no deal can be made with Crane to manage the Taft cam paign, Crane or another ''reactionary 1t is possible, a "reactlonary'' may be put on as Vice President and ''radi- cal" selected to manage the campaign. The Tafters are out for harmony. John

THE VIRGINIA.

2 To the Editor of The Age Herald. 5 a One of the floats in the floral B parade next week will be repre- ,s sentation of the famous Confeder- }. ate iron clad that sank the Con }. gress and Cumb erland and fought s the Monitor in Hampton Roads, $ March 8. 1862. $ This ship was originally in the . g United States navy and was called g The Merrimac. When the Nor s folk navy yard was abandoned in g April, 1861, she was sunk by the : g Federal officers. When the Con- g federates took possession, she was g raised, converted into an iron s 6 clad ship of war and renamed s g The Virginia. Under this name S : the first iron clad ship of war that 5 !. ever went into battle-and under : 8 Beechaum she fought the famous s 2 days battle with the Federal s $ fleet in Hampton Roads. s 8 By some strange perversion of s g history, most people now speak of e g her as the Merrimac. In point of s 2 fact, she was The Virginia, and s e under this name reVolutionized the s ,. navies of the world. & g So, when she appears in the s g parade next week, garlanded with s g flowers and manned by crew of s 2 lovely girls, let her be called by s g her true name.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by focal explorations, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by copstitntionsl remedies Deafness is caused by an int!amed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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 caused by Catarrh, which is noth- ing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollar for any case of Deafness (csused by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culsrs free.
