BLIND SENATOR HERE.
Mr.. Gore Says Next House Surely Will
Be Democratic.

Senator Gore, the blind senator from
Oklahoma, passed through Topeka today
on his way to Salina where he speaks at
the Chautauqua today. He filled date
Thursday at the Nevada, Mo-, Chautau-
qua The senator would not talk about
the present status of the charges he
made of graft in the Indian department
at the last session. There is nothing to
say about that at this itme,'' he said.
The investigation will be held In due
time and I suppose that the accused per-
sons will hold out protesting their IN
nocence to the last
The senator was optimistic regarding
the probabilities for Democratic mouse
next session of congress. UNLESS there ls
a complete cessation of the present tide,
he said "the next house will surely pc
Democratic. The New York and MasSa-
chusetts elections confirm this belief A
large number of Republican congressman
were elected last time by small majorities:
A slight gain in these districts alone Will
give us the next house."
Speaking of Cannon's visit to Kansas,
the senator said His coming was in the
interest of the insurgents. Nothing coulo
have been better for them.
Several local Democrats representing the
BANQUET committee of the state club met
the senator at the train and tried 10 get
a promise from him to come mere ana
speak at the next club banquet In FeDru-
ary of next year, but he would not prom
ise so far ahead. o,.,
Geo. E. Barnaby and Messrs. Glasscock

CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
Angry Citizens Set Out to Blow Up a
Dam.

Imperial, Cal, July 29.-As result
of the desperate irrigation situation
of the Imperial valley which threatens
the destruction of a million and a half
dollars worth of crops by drought,
drastic methods were resorted to last
night by residents of the valley. A
number of men carrying dynamite
made a quick run down the river, in
tending to blow up the dam of the
California-Mexico Land and Cattle
company, which had been accused of
diverting the supply of water from
the valley.
1t was found however, that the
company was using only water which
1t was entitled to, and the party re-
turned to the valley without making
an attempt to destroy the dam.
Feeling continues to run high
! among the residents of the valley
however, court proceedings in some
form are expected today.
Plenty of Water Soon.
Los Angeles, Cal, July 29.-"We
have a dredge at work clearing the
mouth of the intake to the irrigation
| canal and we are building a dam
across the Colorado river, just below
the entrance to the canal" said w. H.
| Holabird, receiver for the California
| Development company todav.
II believe that by Saturday. condi-
tions will be greatly improved and
within another week there will be
plenty of water for all purposes"

FOrecaster Expects Continued
Cooler Weather.
MUCH FORCE is LOST
Nebraska Takes Big Drink OF
Zephyrs Way Here.
Until Midnight Heat Was Near
to Record.

1t was eight degrees cooler in Topeka
this morning than "A hours previous.
The minimum temperature for the
hight was IA degrees at o'clock-the
coolest in week, but the early part
OF the night was exceedingly hot.
Last night until midnight was Sec
ond to the hottest of the season, be-
ginning at SO degrees at 8 O'Clock and
falling to S5 at midnight The wind
was blowing hot from the south until
that hour. AT 1890 a. M, the cool
winds from the north and the Alberta
region where the thermometer has
stood at "a degrees, began to push back
the hot winds.
1t is these cool breezes from the north
which the weather man has been hop
ing to get down. The fight against that
hot sweeping opponent from the south
has been hard one. AS Nebraska has
been heated as hot as Kansas the cool
wave lost deal of its force before
reaching here.
Not until people awakened this morn
ing did they realize what had happen
ed The houses were heated to such
degree that the cooler temperature
was unnoticed. That change in the
oreeze made many suffer more last
night than any other night for every
body who has south window has had
1t wide open every night in the week
Thursday afternoon the thermometer
recorded 104.6 degrees at 5:30 o'clock,
which is only one degree below the re-
cent record, and just two below the rec
ord in "a years.

VACATION CRUISE ENDS.
President Taft Is Again at the Sum-
mer Capitol.

Beverly, Mass, July 29.-President
Taft's ten days vacation cruise along
the Maine coast ended at o'clock
Thursday afternoon when the May
flower dropped anchor in Beverly
harbor. 1t is not likely that Mr.. Taft
will make any formal comment upon
the situation in Ohio or upon the plat
form. He sent a telegram to Warren
G. Harding, the Republican nominee
for governor of Ohio, which reads:
81 sincerely congratulate you on
your nomination and earnestly hope
that you may be elected"
The statement is reiterated here
that President Taft did not take any
active part in the shaping of the Ohio
platform. He specifically stated to
Senator Dick and Chairman Ellis of
the Ohio executive committee when
they were in Beverly, it is asserted,
that he did not wish to be placed in
the position of approving or disap--
proving any draft of a platform.
The president has busy time
ahead of him. A large number of en-
gagements already have been made
and it is said there will be a contin-
uous stream of prominent visitors to
Beverly.

Case Now Goes Before Interstate
Commerce Body.
COMMITTEE is NAMED.
Discussions in Chicago Are
Broad and Extensive.
Effort One to, Obtain Justice the
Speakers Sentiment.

Chicago. July 29.-An important
step in the organization of a powerful
force to battle with the railroad inter-
ests over the matter of increasing
freight rates was taken at a meeting
of the national industrial COMMITTEES.
The committee of eleven was appoint-
ed at the big rate congress in Chicago
in May.
Twenty-three men, representing If
teen cities and nearly every large i'm
dustrial interest in the north Mississip-
pi valley, were present. 1t was stated
at the close of an all-day session that
it was the most harmonious gathering
ever held on the subject. and that
While the discussions were broad and
extensive, the result was perfect
unanimity.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to lay the case before the in~
terstate commerce commission:
F. B. Montgomery, chairman, Chs
cago.
E. J. Mcvann, Omaha.
J. G. Lincoln, Omaha
E. z. Williamson, Cincinnati.

have special charge of the conduct OF
the case SO far as it concerns the west.
and Lincoln, Williamson and Barlow of
that portion most effecting the east,
while as whole 1t will present the
claims Of the shippers.
The cities repre- sented were Minneap-
oils, St. Louis. st. Joseph Kansas City.
Chicago, Cincinnati, Rockford, Column
bus. Indianapolis. Pittsburg, Buffalo,
and Dayton.
The sentiment was expressed by the
speakers that there should be no at
tempt made to deprive the railroads of
anything that it is found they are en-
titled to, but that an effort should be
l:ade to prove that an increase in rates
in all lines is net justified.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

 by local applications, as they cannot reach the hdiseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed 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, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflame dcondition of the mu- cous surfaces.
