rant Of May 8, 1904. The rest OF
my family have not had q warran,

The evidence at the preliminary
hearing shows that Harp was
killed by a spent ball from the
cross-fire of the so-colled deputies,
for he was killed by a full metal
cased bullet of 80 or 80 caliber
that was battered and lodged IN
his body without striking bone.
I'VE have for more than six
years been prosecuted by all Of the
nefarious tactics known to the
system and if we can get a fair
trial the court records will reveal
the most diabolical conspiracy per-
petrated against man, not even ex-
'cepting despotic Russia. Such az
sistance as you can give will be
appreciated from the innermost re-
cesses Of our hearts, but do not
send any money until you hear
from me again, as money is being

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear There is only one way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when II Is entirely. closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
