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 con-

stachian Tube. When this tube is in
hamed YOU have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in

WATERvILLE.

City Marshal Barton was notified,
early Monday afternoon, that a young
man known as Lawrence Mack had left
Waterville during the forenoon and that
1t was quite certain that in departing
he had taken some articles of value of
people living at the Bay View Hotel. 1t
was learned that Mack left here on the
1l40 car and went through to Gardiner.
City Marshal Wakefield of that city was
notified, but at O'Clock Monday night,
had not located the man and it is thought
that he may have gone either to Lewis
ton by the electrics or taken the steam
cars to Portland. as he is known to have
mileage sufficient to have taken him to
that city. Mack is described as about
90 years of age, 5 feet inches in height

IN CONFERENCE.
Peace Delegates Meet on
Monday, at Shanghai
Fighting Must Cease Before
Negotiations Continue.
Tuaa Fang lssassinated-.War Aero.
plane Near WI Chang.

Shanghai, Dec. 1S.-The peace con-
ference between Dr. WI Ting Fans
the foreign secretary in the revolu-
tionary cabinet: Tang Shao vi, repre-
senting Premier Yuan Shi Kai. and
1--WE delegates selected by each side,
opened in the town hall, here, this aft
ernoon.
The delegates arrived at the town
hall. at o'clock. They were welcomed
by the chairman of the municipai
council. All except the delegates were
excluded from the building, which is
guarded by armed British police.
One of the notable facts in connec-
ton with the peace conference is that
both of the principal personages are
natives of Canton and old friends. On
their entrance into the room, the
greeting of the delegates was most
friendly.
The meeting of the conference last
ed five hours and was devoted to an
endeayor to secure a cessation of fight
ing. Both sides agreed that no fuf-
Their meeting should be held until the
armistice was respected.
Tang -Shao vi said, this morning,
that he did not represent the throne
but was a personal representative OF
Premier Yuan Shi Kai. This declara-
ton may be regarded as significant
one. Both WI Ting Fang and Tang
Shao II expressed the hope before the
conference opened that some agree
ment might be reached as result oil
the discussions
Amos p Wilder, United States con-
sui general here, formally called on
Tang Shao VI, this morning, and talk
cd with him on subjects of general in
terest without, however, touching on
the question of the revolution.
The strictest precautions have been
taken by the authorities of the city
for the protection of Tang Shao vi, as
an intimation has reached the head
quarters of the police that some
among the more hotheaded students
have been advocating his assassina-
ton, on the ground that he is sup
porting the Manchus. There is rea-
son to believe that this idea is abso'
luteiy without foundation. Tang Shat
vi is an advocate of constitutions
monarchy. but does not support tht
retention of the Manchu dynasty. His
sympathies are with the Cantonese re-
formers. but he does not believe IN
a republic.

Persia's Troubles
Growing Thicker.

proposals regarding a solution of the
Russian difficulty and the Russian troops
are preparing to advance on the capital.
1t is believed that the advance will be
gin. Thursday The people are apathetic
and only the women continue an active
boycott. The official attitude suggests
passive resistance but the provincial
sentiment is strongly opposed to the Rns-
slams The ex-Shah, Mohammed Alirr1ir-
"a, is at Gumesh Tepe.
In presenting the question before the
National Council. today, the foreign min
lister made determined effort to obtain
the support of the council. He repre-
scented that the cabinet had done all il
could to retain Mr. Shusteri but the
plight of the country was desperate. Tho
ex-Shah he said. was advancing on the
one hand and Salar Ed Dow1eh on the
other, while Russia refused to abate her
demands. Therefore, ne argued, the cab
met should be empowered to conciliate
Russia In spite of his appeals the dep
uties insisted upon the retention of Mr..
Shuster as Persia's only hope. and aver
red nothing was to be gained by yielding.
