Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- tiOn 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 in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

JOHN RAY GIVEN 2I.YEAR SENTENCE Had Once Been Convicted of Murder and Sentenced
 to be Hanged.
CASE WAS REVERSED
Pleaded Guilty to Shooting Father, Aged Farmer Living in Mil.
 Ter County.
Texarkana, June 14-In the Circuit

Texarkana, June 14-In the Circuit Court today the final court chapter in the sensational murder case in which William Hunter, Sr., an aged farmer living in the southern end of this county, was the victim, was written when young William Hunter, son of the victim and John Ray, charged as an accomplice, were sen- fenced to 21 years in the State prison on pleas of guilty.
 The case was one of the most sen sational affairs in the criminal records of the court. Ray was once before convicted and sentenced to die, but secured a reversal of his case on ruling by the Supreme Court.
 Old man Hunter was killed about two years ago. His young son was arrested, as was John Ray. It was charged that there had been im- proper relations between Ray and young Hunters mother, and that tha elder Hunter was killed to prevent this fact becoming known to him. The trial itself developed several points, cue of which was that the killing itself was done by young Hunter, but that he had been urged to commit the crime by Ray, who was charged as an accessory before the fact. The younger Hunter was hardly more than a lad
 At the original trial Ray was found guilty of first degree murder because he had instigated the killing. He was sentenced to be hanged, but took an appeal to the Supreme Court, where the case was reversed on some point of irregularity in the trial and xsent back for new hearing. A sec- ond indictment was returned against Ray last week. Young Hunter had never been tried, but an indictment < Was recently returned against him. n
 Tcday he pleaded guilty to the charge of second degree murder, ad- hitting having killed his father. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison Ray then entered plea of guilty to murder in the second degree and was given a 21-year sentence.
 Both men will be committed to prison at Little Rock at once.

Gen. Geo. B. Lamping,
Seattle, Wash
Dear Ceneral:-I see by last evenings papers
that the charges against Oil Inspector Clark have leaked
out. We were endeavorng to keep this matter abso-
utely quiet that if the committee did find Clark
had been negligent his duties he could be asked to
resign without causing any ripple reflection upon
himself. THIS HAS CAUSED NE TO THINK THAT
POSSIBLY THE SPOKANE ARMORY MATTER
MIGHT LEAK OUT. PUT THE CLAMPS ON
EVERYWHERE AND SEE THAT THIS AFFAIR
DOES NOT GET INTO THE PAPERS, The National
Guard is already in dsrepute enough without having
that matter get out Even if it is only matter of mis-
takes carelessness, which think it s still If some
opposition paper would get hold of it they would put
altogether different construction upon it.
With the kindest regards, / am
