HOLD YOUNG
WOMAN FOR DEATH
Of LITTLE GIRL

GREEN BAY, Wis, Nov. 21.-Miss
Mettie Christensen, % years of age
of Surfing, Oconto county, has been
arrested by Sheriff Burns, and charg-
ed with causing the death of HfIda
Nelson, aged 7 years, on Feb. 3,
1910. 1t is alleged that the woman
fed the little girl poisoned candy.
The child died in commissions.
Miss Christensen waived prelimin-
airy examination and will be held to
the next term of court She stoutIy
denies having had any part in the
death Of the Nelson girl, and main
tains that her innocence will be
proven when the case comes up.
1t is said that an effort is to be
made to have the woman examined for
her sanity before her trial, as sew
eral Of her neighbors and close
friends say that her mind is derange6
and cite numerous instances to sup
port their claims.
It is said that paper bag contain
ing candy was found on the doorstep
of the Nelson home by two dress
makers who lived there. These
dressmakers supposed that it was
intended for the Nelson children, it
is said, so they did not touch it.
Later the children came into poss-
ession of the alleged poisonous
sweets and ate of it. The girl died
a short time later. it is said, but the
life Of a ) year old boy was saved
by physicians.
It is now believed by Oconto coun-
ty authorities that the candy was not
intended for the Nelson !
children.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear There
- only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, 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 condition, hearing Will be destroyed
forever; nIne cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
