Thanksgiving entertainment at
the public school last week. The
primary loom had their exercises
| Wednesday afternoon and the
little tots did fine. The program
was short, but interesting. Each
responded to their parts when
called upon. The exercises were
enjoyed by all present. The ex-
~ercises in the principals room
were on Friday and quite a NUM-
Der of visitors attended. The
dialogues, recitations and songs
showed thatthe pupils had worked

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
heach 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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that ca nnot be cured BY
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Senate Committee
Refuses Demands
Of the Progressives
Senator La Toilette Announces Fight
Will Be Carried to, Floor of Senate
Caucus Meets at Three.

WASHINGTON, April 2s;-The split n
the republican ranks which threatens re-
public supremacy in the senate assumed
grave proportions today when the regular
republicans fatty refused to meet three
demands of the progressives. These de-
mands were that Senator La Toilette be
given a place on the committee OF inter
state commerce, Bristow on foreign rela-
tions and Cummins on finance. Coupled
with these demands was that Mr.. Bourne
be appointed to the appropriations COM
mittee which was meeting The meeting
was brief and reported to have been some
what acrimonious. Senator 0allinger,
chairman OF the committee, presented a
completed list OF appointments to the
apaEsous committees When 1t was dlseov4
cred by Mr.. La Toilette that only one of
the four final progressive claims had been
allowed. he Immediately announced his
complete disapproval OF the tentative list.
II reserve the right to object further"
he said, because we consider we have
been treated unfairly and unjustly."
On vote to adopt the Gallinger list, the
committee divided to {, the four progress
sives voting solidly The caucus which
meets at o'clock probably will support
the regulars in their selections and the
fight will then be carried into the open.
