ferent political faith has any right
to participatein the same. Hence,
the County Committee should be
careful in selecting the judges of
the primary election, and choose
only men who are staunch Demo-
Craftsmen who have the best in
terests of the party at heart, and
who can not be intimidated or
swayed by designing politicians.
This, done, it will be an easy mat
ter to gel fair expression from
the Benton County Democracy,
and the result will have the ap-
prevail of the masses of the voters.
There will be no challenging of
Democrats at the polls, but it will
be necessary to prevent any in
fringement of this rule to have
judges who are reasonably we'll ac-
quainted with the voters of their
respective districts.
I aleo endorse the run-off as the
only means of ascertaining the will
of the majority of the voters in a
contest where there are three or
more candidates. I: is as fair for
one as the other, and it is Demo
cratic. The majority should rule.

Deafness Can Not be Cured

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 con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
Che mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is in
famed 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 re-
stored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are e.caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition, of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DOL
lars for any case of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh } that cannot be cured

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

There should be no factions"
in any town or community. Every
improvement made enhances the
value of all property in and sur
rounding our town. We should
live as one big family, and we be-
lieve few towns can show up a more
progressiveandint Intellectual family.
We have az few "black sheep" in
Camden as any nook in the State.
When there is discord in the fam.
lily there is little progress. When
there is united pull there is little
we can not accomplish. Jealousy,
envy and hatred pull US all down.
Envy is eanker that gnaws at the
heart and makes one sour, dis
gruntled and unhappy. Jealousy
makes one unfair in passing judg-
ment; hatred does not pay even
from sordid point of view. Let
US all be generous in our estima-
tion of each other and pull togeth-
er and show our neighbors what a
large and harmonious family can
accomplish in building up town.
A lady of Camden has found a
sure cure for broken dishes. II
the dish to be mended can be tied
together with a stout string, then
place it III boiling milk and left
one hour, you can never tell the
dish has been broken, and it can
afterwards be put in boiling water
without the pieces coming apart.
This experiment has been tried
and proven, and many are the
broken dishes which were thought
to be useless which are now as good
as new.
Inasmuch as we have the cattle
quarantine, everyone should help
to make it success. Then it will
be raised. Cooperation will bring
about the desired results sooner
than it can be done with great
many people fighting the measure
and doing everything they can to
render it ineffective. Uncle Sam
and the State may be'a little slow
in adopting severe measures, but
they are in earnest, just the same.

the darker side of life that never
failed to score heavily and bring hand
kerchiefs to the eyes of many. One of
the features of his entertainment that

Concerning the statements made
at the Fern Hill meeting by Joe
Mitchell and others last night
condemning the administration for
failure to take drastic action
against the IT R. & P. company In
the present street railway war,
and alluding to the mayor as an
"old woman" lacking nerve and
backbone, Mayor Linck today
said:
There is absolutely no law on
the subject of FIVE cent fare, to be
enforced. 1t is only a contract.
AS to myself not having back
bone-it takes brains and not
backbone to deal with the present
situation-not hot-headed violence
that could accomplish nothing,
could settle no question, but
would most certainly entail heavy
damages upon the city as well as
endless litigation.
THE talk of the mayor with tho
police or the citizens taking
charge of the railway cars is pre-
posterous.

Threatens
To Expose
Detective

Confronted with photographs
alleged to be of himself taken IN
five different prisons, Peter Miller,
on trial for Seattle burglary pe-
fore Judge Easterday, this morn
ing denied any knowledge of
where each of the pictures was
taken.
He denied that he was ever in
Sing Sing, or in the Clinton pen
litentiary. The criminal recori
which Captain Tenant of the Sc
lattle detective force has woven
Iaround him he disclaimed all
knowledge of and Deputy Prose
eutor Ellis was unable to trip
him up in any of his impass! ye
statements this morning.
At the time when Captain Ten
tnant says Miller was in Sing Sing
the accused man says he was sew
ing in the Boer war, and acting
as a surgeon on the battlefield
This was in 1901. In 1906, when
Miller is claimed to have been ar
lrested in st. Louis, he states that
he was adventuring in Mexico.
During his cross-examinatton
this morning, Miller became high
lly excited when asked regarding
his threats against Captain Ten
lnant.
II threatened to expose him."
answered Miller.
Then turning to Tenant and
Shaking his fist, he said:
"My time will come, and when
lit does I will expose you and yoIr
Iblackguard methods in every cor
ner in Seattle. This is the twel-
Itieth century, not the fifteenth"
Peter Miller's recital of his
l"third degree" tortures from the
witness stand yesterday was the
most dramatic incident of this re-
markable trial, thus far.
With all the story teller's art.
Miller, in a slight German accent,
related how he was arrested con
suspicion" by the Seattle police,
and described in vivid language
the alleged tortures he was made
to suffer in the effort to make him

| He described the "black hole
