Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional 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, deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing viii be destroyed

On March 18th 1 wrote Mason &
Company with regard to this matter
copy of which letter is hereto at
tached. l also attach hereto their
reply dated March 10Th together with
the letter receivde by them from their
attorneys dated March 29th From
these letters, together with their
first letter of March 23rd, and the
opinion of their attorneys, it seems tc
me that nothing more can be done
with this company Taken as a whole
the objections raised by, their attor-
neys seem to me to be very technical
| and, as stated in my letter to Mason
& Company, of March 23d, l can only
| pecommend now that further negotia-
| tons with them be discontinued. 1 al
| so recommend that the checks accomp
anying their bids be returned. | fur
/
| the Council in accepting their bid
be reconsidered, as also the action
of the Board of Public Works be re
| considered and rescinded.
| This will leave the matter in shape
so that if desired, sale can be made
to some other house which really de-
| sires to purchase bonds. In this con
nection, would recommend that any
bids hereafter to be made, required
that the form of bond and the proceed
lngs leading up to the same be pass
ed upon by the bidder before the deal
is closed, so ais to avoid the complf
cation which has arisen in this case.
In conclusion, 1 wish to say that
the form of bond in each case is sub
stantially the same form, which has
been heretofore used by the city
and under which bond issues. hereto
fore have been sold. However, my
letter to Mason & Company of March
25th quite fully sets forth my views
|
not deem it necessary to further dis
cuss the matter.

MORE CONCERNING THE
kNTI-SAl0ON ADDRESS

Mr. Knute Hill, of Eau Claire. ad-
dressed union meeting of five Pro
testant churches, held in the German
Moravian church last Sunday night.
In spite Of the rainy weather there
was a fairly large attendance. Mr..
Hill is a graduate of the State Uni
gersity Law School and he spoke as
a lawyer of the legal and economic
aspects Of the liquor traffic. He quoted
a recent court decision in Indiana
which held that the state had no
right to Iegalize a public nuisance,
and that the saloon is public nui-
sance because it encourages idleness
promotes crime and degrades morals.
He showed a number of charts IL
Illustrating the economic waste incl
dent to the making and selling of in
toxicaiting liquor The question, what
bartenders and brewery workers
should do for a living if the saloons
were abolished, he answered by
saying that the work now done by
the wives and widows of drunkards
would furnish employment for large
number. He closed the address with
an able argument in favor of county
option.

CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR

This paper has been informed that
E. f. Kileen who has been District
Attorney for this county ever since
January /, 1894, excepting the years
of 1899 and 1900, (when that office
was held by w. D. Corrigan) will
not be a candidate for reelection,
but that he will be a candidate for
the office of State Senator from this
district.
Mr. Kileen is well known to the
people of this. county and anything
that this paper might say in his be-
half will not add to or detract from
his popularity. Mr.. Kileen had the
misfortune at an early age to be
crippled and his health for many
years was anything but good, yet he
worked up under such difficulties and
at the age of twenty-five years was
admitted to practice law and in that
same year was elected District At
torney for this county.
He is a good lawyer and his prac-
tice of the law has at all times been
honorable and the manner in which
he has conducted the office of Dis
trict Attorney has been credit to
this county. He has not fooled. away
his money but ON the contrary has
been saving and today he lis consid-
cred reasonably well to do. He has
ever supported the Hon r. M La
Toilette since he was first candi-
date for Governor in this State and
he says now that if heis nominated
and elected to the office of State
Senator that it will be a great pleas
ure to him to cast his ballot for the
reelection of Robert M LaFollette
to the U. S. Senate-Waushar Ar
gus.

speculative sentiment in it's favor
There is a general conviction about
the exchange that the advance had
the assent, if not the cooperation, of
financial groups most influential in
the market movements. The move.
ment in United States Steel was the
most effective factor in conveying
that impression. fThe volume OF
transactions in that stock and the
aggressive advance was suggestive Of
inside activities which marked the
past movements in steel

The operations which advanced
prices were concentrated in character
and did not appear to come from scat
tered sources
A factor in encouraging the oper

Of the pressure on the New York
