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 rs by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have rnmhling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when II IS entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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 inhaned condition OF the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for an,

HERINGTON-ABH GAME.
Manager of Latter Team Says That
His Players Won the Contest.

Abilene, Kan, Nov. Is, 1909.
To the Sporting Editor of the State
Journal: a
In Saturdays Journal appeared a dis
patch from Harrington stating the foot
ball game between the Abilene and
Harrington football teams friday, Nov
II, at Herington, resulted with the
score to 0. 1t also stated that Her
ington worked the forward pass for
good gains, that Abilene outweighed
Harrington 20 pounds to the man and
that the game was for the central Kan
sas high school championship, etc. The
dispatch was incorrect. This is the
correct story of the game: The game
was played in a heavy rain and on a
slushy field. Under such conditions 1T
was impossible to play fierce football
as the dispatch proclaimed it. Water
polo would have been a more suitable
name. Abilene kept the pigskin in Her.
ington's territory three-fourths of the
game and scored a touchdown but Her.
ington claims it did not. In the first
half Abilene had the ball within five
yards of Herington's goal and lost it.
Harrington then tried to kick out Of
danger but was unsuccessful. Madden,
Abilene's right end, broke through the
line of scrimmage and sent Herington's
punter, who stood fumbling the ball, to
the ground and the pigskin rolling back
of Herington's goal where Ackers, Abb
lene's right guard, fell on the ball. The

What is the matter with Princeton
Edwards says there is nothing the mat

next year. Many rumors have been
abroad this year to the effect that dis
sension has caused the downfall of the
Tiger. Edwards nails this story.
A little bit of disciplining seems to
have caused the story to stir about. 1t
seems that McFayden kicked over the
traces because Captain Siegling sent
him to the scrub. McFayden was quick

the way they do things at Princeton.
There may be something amiss with

MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY.
His Mothers Letter Tells of Young
. Bandits BahYhOOd DAYS.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 17.-If Earl Ross
Bullock had lived to answer to the law
for his crime, in all probability the plea
of insanity would have been entered in
his defense. At least this is the conclus-
ion one gets after reading a letter that
Mrs. Bullock, the mother, wrote to a
friend in Lawrence, just two days prior
to the reappearance of her son and the
second Eudora bank robbery.
Mrs Bullock also said in the letter:
IT am even more puzzled than Others
for I have no idea where he is. I fear
when he comes to himself he will do HIM
self harm.
IT do not know where to go or what to
do. can just say. May God take care
over him.
Near the close of the letter Mrs. Bullock
speaks of Ross having had brain fever
when a child of but 2 years and that the
lad was years old before he recovered
his right mind.
Friends said to me: You do not want
him to live for he has lost his mind But
I believed he would regain his mind
