DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by loo ! applications as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the
ear There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iEflamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamud
you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's 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.
We will give One Hundred Dol

BURNED TO DEATH

Mrs William Taylor of Tusca-
rora was burned to death Friday
evening at her home. The par
taiculars Of the sad affair as we
learned them are as follows
Frank WARDROBE, delivery man
for A. W. Sewall & Co.. while de.
livering groceries, heard Mrs.
Taylor scream. He tried to enter
the house, but found the door lock-
ed. He summoned assistance and
the door vas broken open. On
entering the house Mrs. Taylor
was found lying unconscious on
the floor. Her clothing was burned
off and her flesh was burned
Medical assistance was Immediately
summoned, but she was past human
aid and died without regainin2
consciousness. ,Hs
A can # coal oil was found on
the floor near the stove and it is
supposed that Mrs. Taylor had
started the fire with it and it ex-
ploded, setting her clothing on fire.
When she was school girl, she
had faintlng spells when excited or
surprised and it is thought that
she tainted when the oil exploded
and was unable to help herself.
She was the daughter of Jerry
Pollock, an old timer of Tusca-
rora, and was married to Mr..
Taylor but few months ago. Her
father, husband and two sisters,

Miss Mary Pollock of Wells, SUI.

Pollock left for Tuscarora on this
mornings stage
The deceased was highly re-
spected young woman and her
frightful death has cast a gloom

In the Democratic Camp

The Democrats of Vermont are
having their little differences as well
as the Republicans, though the for
mer are likely to settle theirs without
serious results. Throughout the state
there seems to ne a growing sentlm-
ent that there should be d change
in leadership which the progressiyes
believe would be beneficial IN many
ways They point to the fact that in
every state in the union, except Yer
mont, the democracy has increased
its vote with the very encouraging
prospect of national victory in Nov
ember. Vermont, they say, has re-
NAMED inactive and in fact has
lost ground in many localities where
the present state organization is dom
inant. This, it is contended, shows
that something is radically wrong in
management and they argue it is
time to change leaders. There is a
wide spread opposition to state chair
man Harris of Bennlnton, as well as
TO Thomas II. Browne, national com
mitteeman of Rutland. Already or
ganizations in several counties have
been perfected with a view to elect
ing new men to these positions and
in the opinion of the progressive ele-
ment. the movement will surely sue
coed and the state convention Will
name strong and good men for the
several positions requiring push and
ability. or course the present incum-
bents are lighting for retention and
are charging the progressives with
meddlesome interference. James f.
Burke of Rutland is named as the
probable successor of Thomas II.
Browne and there are a number OF
names suggested for the place OF
Harris. Ex-Mayor Burke OF Burling-
ton is prosecuting a warm campaign
against the present organization with
the purpose OF establishing progress
sive methods In the party control. II
does seem little strange that Yer
mont should remain stationary while
Maine. NeN Hampshire. Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Island
have succeeded in electing governors
and other candidates pledged TO pro
gressive democracy. In Windham
county Mr.. X. S. Childs of Brattle
boro is a candidate for delegate al
large to the national convention as /:
Michael j. Moran of the same town
Mr.. Childs' candidacy Is supported by
the progressive element in other sec
! tons OF the state while Mr.. Moran:
supporters are favorable to the re
election of the present Management
