10y United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Sena-
tor Frank p. Flint. of California, is
slated to succeed Richard A. Bal
linger as secretary Of the interior,
according to rumors here which
are generally credited. Political
interest which was aroused when
it was reported that the mission
of Senator Murray Crane of Massa-
cuhsetts, when he travelled to st.
Paul from Beverly was to ask Bal
linger to retire from his office, has
not been lost with the semi-Offi-
cial denial of the report. Poll
ticians here believe that Crane and
Ballinger discussed the retirement
of the secretary for the sake OF
the party in the coming campaign.
There are many reasons that
tend to strengthen the belief that
Senator Flint soon may be mem
Der of Taft's official family. 1t is
pointed out that Flint, who Is
classed as Ballingerite, is also
friendly with Pinchot Flint is a
member of the Ballinger investi-
eating committee, is regular. is
warm personal friend of Presi-
dent Taft. is a former law partner
of Oscar Lawlor, assistant attor-
ney-general for the interior depart
ment, and is friendly with many
persons who sided with Pfnchot
in his controversy with the present
secretary of the interior.

LOWEST
BIDDER
Another Contract Awarded
to Higher Bidder
Sewer Work.

Again the board Of works has let
a large contract to other than the
lowest bidder. and at a price sew
eral thousand dollars above the en-
gineer's estimate. A contract for
two sewers in the Keystone addi-
ton was let this morning to
Mitchell Bros, the prices being
s20.O65 and $32,OS5. This action
also practically decides for the
present at least that the improve
ments will be made at the expense
of the abutting property. and not
by assessment on the people as a
whtole.
The fifth ward sub-trunk sewer
district No. was the first contract
to be let, 30 days being allowed
for its completion. The engineers
estimate was S19.315 and Colley
and Ferguson bid an even $4,000.
but could not land the job. The
other contract is for the installa-
ton of sewers in the same addi-
ton on Washington street. Cataldo
avenue and Caiispel street, and
the price is $32,0S5. In this case
Colley and Ferguson put in a bid
of s31,9S0, while City Engineer
Mccartney estimated that the work
could be done for $2S,42S.
These bids were opened on June
%. but have been held up since
then because of petitions from the
north side improvement bodies,
asking that the sewers be not laid
until the water mains are installed.

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 of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- fammation 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- races.

Carrying Watch.

"After carrying a watch for thirty years I have just learned something new in watch lore," said the city sales man. q don't know whether this Is true or not, but an old watchmakef told me. I bought watch of him the other day. It was a cheap watch. He said:
 "'What pocket are you going to car ry your watch in-the right or left?
 q told him the left.
 "Then,' said he, I will regulate 1t for the left
 T asked what difference 1t made, and he declared that watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep 1t from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine 1t is very noticeable. 1 asked for scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said he only knew 1t was true, and then. whether he was faking or not, he pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket York Sun.
