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 mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

Probate Judge Berry Meets
With Severe Injury
Other Notes Of Interest From
The Court House

Harold c., and Isaac Johnson, do
ing business under the partnership
name Of Johnson Brothers, have com.
menced suit for damages in the
court of common pleas of Knox county
against the Cleveland, Akron and Gin
cinnati Railway company. The plain
tiffs state that they are owners of
land two miles south of Mt Vernon
and that the railroad tracks of the
defendant is close to their land. The
allegation is made that on various
dates from October 6, 1908, until Aug
ust %, 1910, sparks from locomotives
set fire to crops on the land of the
plaintiffs and that much damage re-
suited. The plaintiffs therefore seek
to recover judgment for $32S75,
$489.75, $50 and $63, alleging that their
land was damaged at various times by
sparks from passing locomotives.
Owen G. Carr are the attorneys for the
Plaintiffs.

ELECTIONS
Coming Fast Under County
Option Law
Seven To Be Held Within
Coming Ten Days
Starting With Lawrence
County October 26
Two More To Be Held On
Saturday Next
Followed By Elections 10
-Four Counties Next Week

Three years ago, on September rs,
1908, the first elections under the
Rose county option law were held.
Meigs and Warren counties voted dry
on that date. The term prescribed
by law between elections has passed
and Ohio shortly is to be torn up
again on the local option issue.
Eight counties that went dry three
years ago this fall will vote within
the next two weeks. Vets in those
counties have filed petitions asking
for elections, and the dates have
been set. Scioto county, where the
hottest fight of all occurred three
years ago, will be the first to deter
mine whether or not prohibition of
the sale of liquor is to continue. The
date of its election and that of Law
renee county, a neighbor, Is Thurs
day, October 26. The following Sat
urday, October 2S, Meigs and Athens
counties will vote. Wyandot county
will hold it's election October 81. Mar
ion, Pickaway and Columbiana coun-
ties will vote on the first, second and
third days of November, respectively.
Other elections will be held from
this time on, as fast as the periods
arrive. Naturally, since So counties
have voted dry under the option law,
the vets will be the bringers of petit
tions. By law no election may be
called until three years after the first
election, and the county will remain
either dry or wet until a second elec-
ton, no matter how long that may be.
So the drys, of course, will not call
elections in counties already dry.
Neither is it probable that they will
call Rose law elections in the five
counties which are dry through Beal
or other laws.
The drys, however, will not be
wholly on the defensive. Activities
have been begun in Richland, Huron
and Shelby counties. which went wet
1 under the Rose law. So also, dry
campaigns probably will be begun in
the remaining wet counties. Neither
side, however, has indicated a pur
pose to tackle those counties which
have not voted at ALL
One of the principal arguments ol
the vets in trying to capture the dry
counties will be that prohibition
doesn't prohibit. 1t will be urged
that boot-legging has run rampant IN
these counties and that there has
been more liquor sold in them thar
before the dry victories. The drys
will dispute this claim and will bring
forward police statistics as to the
fewer arrests and the statements o.
business men as to the increase IL
trade, due, they will contend, to the
voting out of the open saloon.
These counties are dry under the
Rose law: Ashland, Adams, Ashtabu
la, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Carroll
Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Colum
biana, Darke, Delaware, Fayette, Full

d mlsdemeanor for any one to sell at an

bail or any other games or theatrical per-
formances.
He wants the price Of the tickets printed

demanding premium upon tickets for
a regular amusement is a form of rob-
berry which should not be permitted in
any city in the United States" said Drey-
fuss last night. by working in harmony
organized base ball. which touches every
section of the country, can arouse public
opinion to the necessity of having stronger
legislation
1T is true that the sale OF the worlds
series tickets will never give entire salts
faction as long as the demand exceeds the
supply. 1t is impossible to fill 80 600
oraers with 5000 tickets. but it is the
duty Of organized base ball to protect its
patrons from the spectators.
Il shall suggest to the national COM
mission the advisa biiity of advocating the
passage Of anti scalping laws in all of
our cities. If we can get universal law
of this kind 1t will be up to the public to
