DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf. ness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed. Deaf. ness is the rseult, and unless the in- Glammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 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.

SIMPLE FAITH

A mnu who admitted that he came direct from state prison tried to sell To the city editor of a New York news paper a weird and startling story of a missing will which he declared had been revealed to him by fellow con vlct. He was d burly fellow with a prognathous jaw, and he had lost an eye i'm battle The mere look of him would frighten timId citizen into tremors. Mir, White the expert in crimluology, cross examined the man as follows:
 "Why were you In AuburuY
 "ulghwuy" mcauing, Of course, high. way robbcry),
 Il suppose you were wrongtully con- vlcted"
 "Nuh: dcy had me right"
 Such engaging candor made MT. White feel that the man was truthful, and he was greatly disappointed when strict investigation disclosed the fact that the story of the missing will was all fictitious. The man was disap- pointed. too. ut the failure of his ro- nance. but hc went away from the newspaper office In cheerful mood, with some remark about better luck next time
 A week later Mr. White was sum moucd to the reception room of the newspaper and there hc found his friend, Che burly highwayman, his shoulders broader, his single eye dCrcer than eyer Gut his visit was quite friendly. although somewhat ungcd with business. He evidently believed he could rely on Mir Whites good faith and business arumen. Fixing Mir.

COOPERATION AMONG TIDE
WATER GILES.

Newport News and IT'S newspapers
recognize the value OF cooperation,
and no one here will deny that as a
general proposition what is for the
good of one Tidewater city is for the
good of all the Tidewater cities.
Therefore The Daily Press is ready
to echo the sentiments of the follow
ing editorial remarks of the Norfolk
yirginian- Pilot:
THE Virginian- Pilot is rot in the
least disposed to decry the facilities
or to unGerrate the coaling business
done by the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
read a, Newport News, or In any
other way TO minimize the advan-
tages or obstruct the progress of our
sister city. There is better work than
that at hand for all the newspapers
published In this section--to labor
together for advancement OF the in
terests common to each OF the cities
having Hampton Roads as a harbor.
and to make each Of the ports so easy
and free of access by obtaining just
consideration from the Federal gov
eminent, that the struggle Of all viii
be to handle the volume of busineGs
that viii crowd on each. The rivalry
We would engage in with our New

THE NECESSITY FOR IMMEDIATE
STEPS TOWARD ANNEXATION.

The proposed new city Lines pre-
scribed In the ordinance adopted by
the board of aldermen Tuesday night
probably are not in accordance
with a great many peoples ideas as
TO what territory should be taken IN
to the city when the limits are ex-
tended, and at first thought it seems
that the board acted hastily and with
out due care in passing this measure
practically without discussion. But
the members Ct the board. along with
a majority of the other leading citi-
Gems Of the city feel that some def
mite step toward annexation should
be taken without further delay. and
they probably long ago dispaired OF
ever formulating an ordinance upon
which everybody would agree.
Every time annexation has been
considered by the council, difference
o. opinion as to just what new terri
tory should be taken in has prevented
action. Money has been spent in col
lectinr data and there have been in
yestigaticns and discussions without
emu. And all OF this has been to no
purpose. because the counciimen could
not agree upon even tentative plan
for extending the lines. A majority
of beth branches has favored extend
ing the limits all OF the time. and
when the matter was under consid-
Grafton scme months ago it seemed
certain that an ordinance would be
adopted. The same old trouble block
ed the proceedings. however.
II the aldermen had attempted 10
go into a detailed discussion of the
measure passed unanimously Tues
day night !; is more than probable
the body would have adjourned about
midn'g ht without being as near its
object as when the ordinance was
called up. And If the common coun-
Gil fails to concur in the boards ac-
ton. without attempting TO change
the proposed lines, the chances are
that no definite step toward extend
ing the limits viii be taken by New
Mt News thi. wear
