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 hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness 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 for
ever; 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
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

KIERAN DISAPPEARS;
CLERGY DUPED

New York, Dec. T.-Stochholders
and creditors of the Fidelity Funding
company composed principally of
priests and nuns are anxious to learn
the whereabouts of P. J. Kieran, It's
president until the company went in
to the hands of the receivers. Re-
ceivers would like an explanation of
how it happens the liabilities are be-
tween four and FIVE millions while all
assets he can find are little more
than two thousand. Heads of con-
vents and parishes all over the coun-
try are wondering what will be the
outcome of having placed mortgages
and notes with Kieran. Inquiries are
coming from northern New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and other
states. Kieran's whereabouts are
unknown. Many books are missing.
Counsel of the Euclid Avenue Bank
ing and Trust company, of Cleveland
now in the hands of a receiver as a
result of its alleged connection with
Kieran, would like to see books. Kier-
an confined his attention almost ex-
clusively to members of the clergy.

BRICK SEWER FOR
SHRIVER'S RUN

A very important matter to the peo-
pie holding property along the bor-
ders of Shriver's run, that trouble
some little stream that passes through
the very heart of the city from the
north to the south ends, came up in
the council meeting Monday night
and 1t looks now as II there would
soon be some relief for these long suf-
fering people. Some months ago Coun-
Gilman Paul Joliat introduced a Teso-
luton instructing Engineer Starrett to
make an estimate Of the cost and pre-
pare plans for the building of a large
storm water sewer, running from the
south end of Saxton street, near the
Pennsylvania depot, to the east
branch of the Nimishillen creek, at
the foot of Liberty street, in order to
relieve this run and stop the overflow
ing of property in that vicinity as
well as other places along the route
of the source of trouble. This run
comes from a spring north of the city
and near it's head the water is clear
and always fit to drink, but as the
little stream passes on it's way to the
creek it is contaminated with all sorts
VI ISluo6 ludIICl anu 10 a
open sewer. In order to relieve these
conditions which have been growing
worse each year as the city increases
in population, is why Councilman Jol-
lat introduced his resolution. All of
the streets in that part of the city
have been so graded as to allow the
storm water to enter this run, crowd
ing the water outside of its narrow
banks on to the properties of those
living near 1t. 1t is the plan of En-
gineer Starrett to have an eight foot
brick sewer constructed on Liberty
street, and he estimates that it will
cost $50, ,945.02 to do this work prop
erly. After. reading his repart the
matter was referred to the city so
licitor with recommendation that he
prepare further legislation along this
line.

PRISONER
In City Prison Makes Two Unsuccess.
ful Attempts at Sulcide-Hand-
cuffs Placed on Him.

Dennis MCGOWAN, one of the pris
oners at the city jail, made two un-
successful attempts to commit suicide
Monday evening shortly after he was
brought there in the patrol wagon.
MCGOWAN was intoxicated and was
creating a disturbance on Saxton
street about $50, when Patrolman
Lehnis found him and sent him in.
Turnkey Wilhelm took charge of the
man upon his arrival at the police
station and after searching him and
finding a little bit of change in one
of his pockets he was give cell in
the prison. Shortly after o'clock,
when the cement floor in the prison
was about covered with dodgers, one
of the latter noticed that MCGOWAN
had placed his necktie around his
neck, while the other end of it was
firmly tied to one of the upper bars
of the cell. Other dodgers were arous-
ed and they succeeded in cutting the
tie from its fastening. After a few
minutes MCGOWAN made a moose from
his shirt and tied this to the bars
again and he jumped from his bunk
in an effort to strangle himself to
DEATH He was again cut down and
the turnkey was summoned. Those
standing in front of the cell say that
McGowan's tongue was protruding
from his mouth and that he was ap-
parently in the agOnies of death when
his second attempt was discovered In
order to prevent him from carrying
out his intent Turnkey Wilhelm un-
locked the cell door and with the
assistance of other officers he succeed
ed in slipping pair of handouts
around the wrists of the man. Nc
Gowan made a vigorous kick about
the handouts being too tight about
his wrists, but Chief Smith decided
that they should remain upon his
hands while he was in the prison and
short time thereafter he went to
sleep. MCGOWAN is a stranger to the
officers who were present Monday ev-
ening, but he declared that Detective
Ryan and Turnkey w. H. Reed are
acquainted with him. 1t is believed
by Chief Smith that he became &C
quainted with Turnkey Reed while
that official was the superintendent of
the Stark county workhouse. The
prisoner is a man of about % or 80
years.

BOLD ROBBERY
Three Strangers Attack Greek Fruit
Dealer and Ransaek His Pockets
Two Suspects Under
Arrasf

At All early hour Monday evening
three well dressed men, all of them
being strangers, entered the confec-
tionery store operated by a Greek
named H. Abdoo, located at 415 South
Cherry street, with the evident pur-
pose of committing robbery. One of
the three men had some words with
the Greek and then all three took a
hand in the scheme. The fruit dealer
was soon fioored and the three men
went through his pockets and took
what money he had with him. The
matter was reported to the police and
in short time Detective Baur and
Patrolman Manderbaugh placed two
men under arrest and took them to
the Greek for Identification. He was
positive that they were the two men
who were wanted. The patrol wagon
was called and they were sent to the
police station, where they gave their
names as M. Dropkin and Emory
Rowe. The former had 1920 and the
latter $440, all in small change, such
as the Greek carried in his pockets
after making sales. The third man
made good his escape.

LAW DEMANDS ACTUAL
DEATH OF PRISONER

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 7.--Even should
doctors succeed in restoring Murder
er John Mantasanna to life. after be-
ing electrocuted Dec. 21, the legal
opinion is that the law demands the
life of the murderer actually as well
as theoretically. Should he be re-
stored he will be returned to contact
with current again. DR.. Scanned, the
county physician, said this evening:
Am not doing this for notoriety or to
create a sensation. New York ex
perts have raised a doubt about elec
trocutions and declare the victims are
only stunned, later killed by knife al
autopsy. 1t is my duty to settle the
matter"

GAS Co. MUST SHOW UP
SOURCE OF SUPPLY

The natural gas question, which has
been absorbing much of the time at
he council meetings lately. did not re-
ceiVe much consideration at the meet
ing Monday night, although there
were number of spectators present
to listen to the proceedings.
Solicitor Blake merely reported pro-
gress on the ordinance that he was
authorized to prepare for the Canton
Gaslight & Coke Co., and asked leave
to make a suggestion in regard to
the matter. He only desired to sug-
gest the advisability of getting the
source of supply from which this COM
pany intended to get it's natural gas.
Councilman Aungst wanted to know
if it was the duty of the councilmen
to furnish this or whether it was the
duty of the company seeking the fran
chise. Mr.. Blake said that he thought
it should be the company's place TO
do this, as they possessed the infor-
nation that was desired. Mr.. Aungst
said that he did not believe that the
councilmen should act as detectives
and he moved that Clerk Lloyd notify
the Canton Gaslight & Coke Co. to
have its representatives present next
Monday evening, at which time they
will be asked to give all the informa
tion desired. Before the meeting con
cluded Solicitor Blake said that he
could have the ordinance in readiness
by next Monday evening also, but, de
sired to know If it was the wish OF
the members that he report this be
fore the information sought was OBJ
talned He was told plainly not to re
port the ordinance until he had re
ceived all the Information that he de
sired and all that the council desired
ON the subject. This was the only
reference during the evening TO tbs
gas question.
