"Why, they drafted this bill

"Yes, said the youth.
"Want him?' the editor con-

only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin

is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is entirely

TO THOSE WHO,

" all parts of the country
have been wondering
when the new Postal Savings
Banks would be opened fol
business, it may be good news
that it is expected to have tn,
system in operation by Octo-
Der 18th, or perhaps Nov, l
at the latest. And it will not
be the big cities which have
the first banks either. They
are to be introduced in tn,
postoffices of the second anC
third classes first. Probably
one city in each state will be
designated, at the beginning
as the location for a Postal
Savings Bank. The econ
omv of administration will be
an essential consideration,
and the cities which promise
to be the cheapest in which to
operate the banks will be the
ones chosen. Later, as soon
as Congress makes a more
liberal appropriation for con
ductlng the new banking bus
iuess. the system will be ex-
tended. Meantime the public
IS showing considerable inter
est in the proposed new banks
and many letters are being
received, some containing
money, some stamps for de-
post. One letter recently re-
Celved contained a five cent
nickel with which to start a
deposit. Of course deposits
are not received in Washing
ton. 1t looks, however, as if
the new banks would be pop
u'ar with persons who are
not solicitous about t h e
amount of interest they will
receive.

Mr.. Fitzgerald said this morning that

ment with the trust and that the quot

Make Spring Adjustment.
The differences in prices came as a
result of the annual spring adjustment
of prices which f1uctuate at this time of
the year for the reason that there is
some uncertainty as to what the price
of corn will be.
This is also the slack season in the
distillery business, and 1t is natural
that the readjustment of prices should
take place at this time of the year.
Up until yesterday prices have been
cut 5 cents in. FIVE days, and it is re-
ported that under the cut that was
forced by the independents the trust
has already closed one house. The in

WEST HAMMOND
ELECTION IN COURTS
Martin Finneran Does Not
Intend to Let Proceed
ings 60 by Default.

The West Hammond election of last
Tuesda is not to stand without a con-
test. and preparations are now under
way for the battle in the Cook county
court.
The proceedings will be started by
Martin Finneran, the present village
clerk. who headed the independent dem
ocratic ticket but who was counted out
in favor OF the candidates on the peo-
pies ticket. The whole election is so
"balled up that anything tR%t one in
dividual act alone will not make it in
valid.
Safeguarding the Ballots.
This morning it developed that the
ballot box had been taken out of the
village hall last Tuesday night and
had been kept in the south side saloon
until this morning at 10 o'clock This
in itself is said to be contrary to the
Illinois election laws, and on the face
of it is irregular, especially before the
vote has been canvassed by the village
board. The village board meets tomor-
row afternoon at 2:30 to canvass the
vote. 1t has no discretionary power in
the matter, but must accept the tallies
as reported by the jddges.
The independent democrats charge
the judges and clerks on the other tive
parties with many kinds of violations
| They say that one of the election Of
| ficials attempted to influence vtters
right in front of the village hall wher
! the election was on, and that two o

the booths and marked their tickets
for them.
