T.R. IN MILWAUKEE
Gets Hearty Welcome in
Wisconsin City.
CUT OUT SPEECH MAKING
Was Not Disturbed by Not Receiv-
ing Greeting From Socialist
Mayor and Inspects Every
thing About City.
CUT OUT SPEECH MAKING

Milwaukee, Sept. Sour friend Vox
Populi came to the aid Of Mr.. Roose-
velt and Milwaukee gave him hearty
but not rousing reception. The fact Is,
the colonel did not care for noisy
time, and when he hit town he sur
prised the committee by telling them
that he really did not care to make
half as many OF the speeches he was
scheduled for. and so he did not do II.
Mr. Roosevelt had q pretty strenuous
day Of It In st. Paul.
For anybody else It would have been
a red hot doy, but for the colonel not
at all. He was not disturbed by not
receiving a greeting from the mayor,
who had long ago declared his inten-
tion of not meeting the colonel II did
not spoil Mr.. Roosevelt's day; on the
other hand II greatly enhanced the
pleasure Of it, for he had anticipated
that Mayor Seidel would be out OF
town, and his guess was correct The
Socialist mayor did not show himself
once. The reception committee was a
triae chagrined. but the colonel roared
and thought 1t was huge Joke.
Milwaukee threw open its gates to
T. r. and gave him the freedom Of the
city. He inspected everything around
and did whatever he pleased.
AS a guest OF the Press club the
colonel was strictly at home. When he
arrived in Milwaukee Mr.. Roosevelt
was told OF the results OF the prlmar-
ies In which LaFollette was again en-
dorsed for the senatorship. He ap-
peared to be pleased and said that he
does not believe that LaFollette can be
defeated in the legislature. And then
be gave out this formal statement:
1T has been stated since my ar
rival here that in spite Of Senator La
Toilette having carried the primaries
in fair and open contest. an effort will
be made to beat him In the legisla-
ture. don't for one moment believe
this, because any such conduct would
be from every point Of view an out
rage and would be a deliberate viola
tion of good faith When in Oregon
the Democratic candidate for senator,
Chamberlain, carried the primaries
and II was proposed that the Republi-
can legislature should turn him down,
I strongly and publicly took the posi-
tion that such an act would be one Of
bad faith by the legislature towards
the people. and take the same posi-
tion here in regard to Senator La
Toilette"
The colonel did not discuss any 9th
er politics He was more anxious to
go around town and see the city. He
asked that he be taken to the
Deutscher club, where he had been
once before and had the time Of his
life. He cut cut two speeches that the
committee had him down for and In
stead paid visits to the trade schools
of the city. He enthused over them
greatly.

lnaueurator Of Affinity Wave" Wants
Eoruiveness Of "Wlfe."

New York, Sept. S.-No more affini'
ties for Affinity" Earle, the eccentric
artist. He says he doesn't want an
other wife"
Declaring that he made mistake
in seeking happiness in Kaleidoscope
change OF soulmates, he has gone to
Europe to ask his first wife to take
him back.
This was learned from Alexander
Harvey, a close friend of the illus
trious inaugurator of the ffinity fash
ion.
Earle sailed within the last few
days. He will go direct to Paris to
meet Emily Fischbacher, whom he
sent away so that he and Miss Julia
Kuttner, of this city, might live to-
gether at his luxurious home in Mon
roe, N. Y.
He will ask his former wife to take
their young child and rejoin him In
domestic life
From Mr.. Harvey it was learned
that Earle would use the compelling
argument with his wife that he had
found afflnityism had nothing on every
day married life, and that he had de-
cided to eliminate soulmates In the
future.

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
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely 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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

United States senator Mr.. Townsend's
plurality is admitted to be better than

In the Townsend campaign 1t was

too closely allied with Senator Aldrich
