Deafness Cannot 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
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an iDflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
snd when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, aud unleas
she inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases ont of
ten are caused by Catsrrh, which
is nothing but al lnf1am9d condi-
tion of the mucous surface.

IRON WORKS PLANT WRECKED.
Concern That Is Victimized Has Been To-
lolIed In Trouble With Union Labor.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. o.
The Llewelyn Iron Works were
partly wrecked by an explosion,
presumably of dynamite, early TO-
day. The force of tho explosion
smashed windows for moro than a
block and awakened persons more
than two miles away. J, E. AS
bury, the watchmap, was slightly
injured.
Who placed the supposed charge
Of dynamite is unknown to the
police, but it is believed to have
been the Outcome of general la
Dor troubles, in which the Lew
elyn company has been involved.
A hold 18 inches deep and about 6
feet in diameter bears witness to
tho place Of the explosion.
About seventy-fve feet of the
'front.' of the main building, o
thrse.story frame structure, was
shot TO pieces, and it's contents
Of furniture and parsphanalia
were piled together in apparently
ruin. Ths heavy machinery
building apparently was undam-
aged.
The Llewelyn Iron Works has
long been prominent in the fight
against the recognition of unioa
labor IN this city, and is one of
the concerns involved in the met
8 workers strike, which went in
10 effect on June /. The strike
has been characterized by great
bitterness on both sides.
The strike was called originally
TO enforce g demand for an g.
hour day for sll metal workers
and a uniform wage scale of so
cents an hour. The struggle was
preclpisated by q notice from the
men engaged in the metal trades
IN San Francisco that the employ.
srs there had made concession to
their employees on condition that
they should not thereby be placed
at a disadvantage in competition
with non-uaion Los Angeles firms.
Officials Of the Llewslyn oor4.
panE are of the opinion that the

Fred G. Wheeler, presidsnt of
the Los Angeles Central Labor
Council has sissusd a statements
dsfying any one to iasten the re-
sponsibllity fer the crime upon
the organization Of which he
represents.
Apparently the police have no
definite clue to she perE osrators.
In view of The Los Angeles Times
dynamiting outrage, ill which
twenty-ene men were killed last
October, 5oday's explosion created
extraordinary inserest. The
grand jury IS sxpeosed at eay time
to hand in its report IN The
