E. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

rs DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications. as they. cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf.
ness. and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachinn Tube. When
this tube Is inflamet you have a rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unles the inflammation
can be taken out and thin tube rcstor.
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrl,
which is nothing but IN intlamed con.
dition OF the mucous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness tcausel by

ever possible, cripple the equipment Of
West Virginia roads. get the freight

anything else ut hand to hold back the

these things West Virginia seems to

BAD CHECKS GET
 WEIGH IN TROUBLE

Oscar ID. Welch, member of the old Pine Bluff baseball team, was arrest ed yesterday at the instance of H. H. Daley, proprietor of the Hotel Jeffer- son barber shop, charging him with passing a worthless check in the value of $1. He was arrested some days ago on the same charge, but promised to pay the money and make the check good. He was given until this morning to settle the matter, as Mir. Daley preferred this action instead of prosecuting him. Several days ago Welch passed worthless check for $5 on Main street fruit dealer, who asked for his arrest. Before the Of ficers arrested him, however, he re- funded the money and the matter was dropped. H. B. Strange, of the Pee ples' Savings and Trust Company, al yanced Welch $10 on draft drawn through his bank and this paper also came back unpaid. The warrant for Welchs arrest was issued in Magis- trate Frazier's court.

WILL PINE BLUFF HAVE BASEBALL? League That Would Be a Money Maker is Pro-
 posed.
PETITE WRITES NIXON
Jonesboro Banker Says New League Would Be Go-Shreveport
 to be Included,

Within the next few weeks some de- finite steps will in all probability be taken by the local baseball fans to perfect the movement now on that will assure Pine Bluff of league ball next season and Incidentally aid in the organization Of a state league, that Is now well under way. In letter received yesterday by Prosecuting Attorney-elect T. Havis Nixon, of this city, from V. C. Petite, assistant cash fer of the Bank of Jonesboro, the in- ltlal plans are announced.
 MT. Petite says that the cities Dro- posed in the league are Little Rock, Shreveport, La, (which has lost it's franchise in the Texas League), Tex arkana, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, Hell ena, Jonesboro and Now South Mem- phis, in Tennessee.
 T have been told that you were an ardent baseball fam writes MT. Petite to AIr. Nixon, and I address you to the end that you and your peo- pie may be interested in League baseball for 1911. There will be a state league organized with Little Rock as the hub. This impresses me as splendid circuit The northeast Arkansas league has had two very successful years and some very fine ball. We have proved that it can be made to go. I fancy with a park, ad- vantageously located, your city would be ripe for league ball. I would be glad to hear from you at your leisure. If not interested, kindly hand this let ter to the proper party, preferably some business man who appreciates baseball as sport and as an ad- vertisement."
 T. G. Scarborough, sporting editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, is being mentioned for the presidency of the proposed league and this fact alone will furnish desirable influ- ence and prestige from the start. Pine Bluff is full of enthusiastic baseball fans, but past experiences with league teams here have not proven good in- vestments, on the other hand there is much sentiment against professional baseball under the old method of SUD- porting same. There is also healthy sentiment in favor of having baseball again and the indications are that this city would in all probability join a league, such as proposed by MT Pet tie

IN NECLICfE ATTIRE
Roosevelt is Forced to Speak at Mar.
 shaltOwn Early Today.

tMarshaltown, Iowa, Aug. 26.-The Roosevelt train passed through here at $40 a. m. today, making a stop of seven minutes. A large crowd was at the station, and despite the fact that Colonel Roosevelt had wired ahead expressing his regret at not be- ing able to speak, crowd cheered until he appeared in negligee attire on the rear platform, from which he made a brief speech.
 He told the audience that he was glad to get back to his own country, although he enjoyed the lions in Afri- ca more than they enjoyed him.
 Expressing an interest in the chill dren in the assemblage he suggested that it would not be well to depend on the immigrant for an increase of population of the country.
 After his brief remarks, which were frequently interrupted by cheer ing, he protested against the action Of the photographers who brought their cameras into action.
 1t is an outrage" he said, ''to take my picture in this garb.'
 He had time only to throw a rain coat over his pajamas and to don his slippers when called to the platform
 The Roosevelt special will go through Iowa and Nebraska stopping at a dozen or more places where Colonel Roosevelt will make address ses.
