Special Dispatch 10 The Call

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Mackay COM
panies. has issued the following state
ment to the public:
We have had nothing TO do. either
directly or indirectly, with the com
bination of the American telephone and
telegraph company with the Western
Union telegraph company. We have
not wished to join it and have not been
invited to join it. There have been
no negotiations whatsoever with US
in regard to the matter and there is
every reason why we should not have
had anything TO do with ii.
We knew nothing about. it until the
day when it was publicly announced.
1t is true that we own a large block
of stock of the American telephone and
telegraph company. but that is one of
our many investments. We never have
had and have not now any representa-
tion on the board of that company and
our stock is not consulted nor consid-
cred any more than the stock of any
other stock holder, as you will see
from the fact that we knew nothing
about this deal until it was publicly
announced.
The statement that William H. Baker
represents us is incorrect. He does not
represent ms in anything in the slight
est degree. Neither have we had any
thing to do with the purchase of teIe-
phone companies in the middle west.
Our company is slow and conservative
in its investments. but swift and ag-
gressive in its service. We are not
disturbed in any way. We have sue
cessfully met hard competition for more
than 25 years and have prospered and
are in first class financial condition
better than ever before. We have
waited until this matter had simmered
down so that we could make one state
ment covering the whole subject. AS
/ stated several weeks ago. "Competi-
tion will continue, and it will be real
competition, the same as heretofore"

Elias Winters Almost In
stantly Killed.
TEN FOOT DECLINE
Horse Stumbles and all 20
to the Bottom.
Henry Lowmiller Has a Very Mar
row Escape from a Fate Similar
10 that Of Mr.. Winters.

A very peculiar accident resulting
in the death of Elias Winters, a
prominent retired farmer Of near
Martei, occurred about two miles
northeast OF Caledonia, shortly after
Z o'clock, Saturday evening.
Mr.. Winters, i'm company with
Mr.. Henry Bowmiller, started to drive
to Marion, Saturday evening. When
they reached a point near the Whet-
stone river bridge, heavy rain
storm began. Rather than face the
driving shower they decided to turn
about and drive to the home Of
Grant Slagle, which was only short
distance away. The road is elevated
ten feet and on each side is a steep
grade. On the very top of this dan
gerous dyke the men attempted to
turn around.
Mr.. Lowmiller was driving his
family horse. He drove to the side
OF the grade, turned the horse and
was backing the animal in order to
avoid upsetting the buggy. The ye-
hicle passed over the edge of the
grade, the horse stumbled and men,
horse and buggy rolled to the bottom
of the decline. Mr.. BOwmiller re-
covered shortly after the accident
and hurried to the Slagle home for
help. Returning with a lantern he
found Mr.. Winters lying beneath
the buggy, apparently dead. He was
removed to the house and Dr.. J. f.
Baker. of Caledonia, was hastily sum
moned. The physicians examination
disclosed that the victim had sus-
tanned a severe fracture of the spine
and no hopes whatever were enter
taind for his recovery. He died at
3 O'clo,k Sunday morning, never
having regained consciousness. Mr..
Lowmiller, outside of sustaining q few
bruises, was uninjured.
1T Is supposed that Winters was
pinioned beneath the body of the
horse when the animal stumbled and
fell back upon the buggy. The We
hicle was crushed into kindling wood
| and that Mr.. Luwmiler escaped
was little less than miraculous.
It was threatening rain when the
men left Martel. Mr.. LOwmiller is
the father Of Dutton Lowmlller of
this city who sustained serious in
iuries in local street car wreck last
Saturday. They would not have at
tempted the long drive on such a
night, had it not been for the fact
that Mr.. TOwmiller had promised his
son that he would visit him. In or
der to have company, Mr.. Lowmiller
invited Winters to come with him.
The victim was one OF the most
highly respected residents OF the
eastern part of Marion county. He
was aged sixty-hve years, and on
account of his failing health was
forced to retire from farm duties
| several years ago.
The deceased was a civil war vet
eran, having served through the en-

The absent minded man didn't look
up from his paper when the conductor
came around. He just felt in his side
pocket for his ticket and handed the
ticket to the conductor. The ticket
however was a theater coupon.

rather sharply, this don't go, Come

The absent minded man glanced

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way tC
cure deafness, and that is by consti.
tutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tlrely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
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 inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness caused
by catarrh that cannot be cured by
