A New and Valuable Book On
 the Subject of
 DEAFNESS Ringing Noises in the Head

When one is gradually becoming deaf or Is troubled with those miserable noises fin the head which are so often allied with deafness. he seeks in vain for plain, easily understood book upon the subject that Is so all important to him. He can get no nearer than the purchase of a medical work, which is so technical that 1t cannot be understood.
 To meet long felt want, an able phy- sician formerly a county Medical society president of New York) has written treatise in simple, clear language. ex- plaining deafness and head noises. show ing how they develop, how insidiously dangerous are the cause, and, best of all, the details of a home treatment which has restored the hearing of legions of persons of all ages who thought they were doomed to lasting deafness.
 This book points out the way to better health and to placidity of mind, includ- ing the elimination of nervous troubles. The author holds that over nine-tenths of all the cases of deafness are amen able to the new home treatment.
 Remarkable cures are being reported after persons were deaf for years and had almost abandoned hope.
 copy of this very interesting treatise will be mailed free by writing to the au- thor. Dr. George E. Coutant, Station E,

funds will be taken up with Roger Sul- livan, the Illinois leader, with Lieutenant Governor Nicholas of Ohio, who soluucted the campaign of Governor Harmon for presidential nomination, and with Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts, who was men toned by Senator Dixon as collector of funds for Governor Wilson.
 Louis N. Hammerling, president of the American Association of Foreign News papers, will be questioned as to the charge of Senator Dixon that ''he is reputed to have purchased the editorial policy of more than 209 foreign language newspa- pers for President Taft" MT. Hammer ling already has denied the charge.
 The so-called Hartman contribution of S24o.000 to the republican campaign fund in 1904 will be brought up again when former Senator Depew of New York appears. According to MT. Harriman's letters and ether evidence before the committee, Sem ator Depews friends in New York made up at least part of that fund.
 Many of the witnesses next week are among those whom Senator Dixon de- inanded be subpoenaed when he charged that the committee was devotng too much time to the Roosevelt funds.
 Among these is Charles Crane of Chi cago, who Senator Dixon declared con tributed large amounts to the fund of both Senator LaFollette and Governor Wilson before the conventions.

31 ID 5 POINTS
 LOSS IN COTTON

New Orleans, October 5.--The net re- suits of the weeks trading in the cotton market were q loss of 3f to 35 points. Tho high prices of the week were made on Monday and the low prices on Thurs day. At the highest, the trading months were to points over last weeks elose; at the lowest they were 45 to 54 points under. The range of prices was 7 to tG points.
 The bureau reports on Wednesday were chiefly responsible for tho lower trend of the market Previous to their publi- cation longs liquidatod and shorts added moderately to their commitments in ex- pectation of bearish figures. While the figures of G9.6 on condition and 3,015,- O33 on ginning were about as expected, still bears were encouraged to sell fol- lowing them.
 The weather of the week, on the whole. was favorable, although the eastern belt got little too much rain. In the west conditions were called ideal, and the gathering of the crop made rapid head way. The record breaking output of the gins in Texas and much bearish talk concerning the total yield offset bulish predictions concerning the yield in other sections of the belt.
 The tangle in European politics worked against prices to some extent and caused less attention to be paid to Manchester accounts than ordinarily would have been the case. Liverpool and Manchester both sent over many cable messages stat ing that an enormous business in dry goods was being done. and that weavers and spinners were selling their output far ahead
 In the spot department prices lost one quarter of a cent, middling closing at il 3-l6c, against Il 7-1Gc last week. Sales on the spot amounted to 3S7o bales, against 27l5 last week: sales to arrive amounted to 560O bales, against 755o last week.

mighty forests, though they are differ
ent from coal wealth, in that they
can be conserved, or reproduced by
man, and they probably will be to a
greater or less extent.
But Oregon has another vast and
ineXhaustible source of wealth, a YER
liable gold mine, unlimited in size,
that can never be worked out, and
that is her water power A conserv-
ative estimate Of the states water
power places it at about 3,50O,0OO
horse power This water power, once
harnessed and put at work, would fur
nish power for all the factories and
industries Of the state 1t would light
our cities, and furnish heat for not
only them but for every farm house
and dwelling in the state. It would
pow the farmers ground and harvest
and thresh his crops and carry them
to market Not only would It do this,
just as the coal of Pennsylvania does
like work for her people, and many
others, but It would be at It and stay
on its job forever. Coal fields must
In time become exhausted, but so long
as the sun shines, and rain falls, this
great, powerful giant now belonging
to the people OF Oregon will be their
servant, doing their work uncom-
plainingly And It will do this just so
long as the sun shines and the rain
falls and earth Is habitable, and, after
that It does not matter, anyhow. Com
pared to Pennsylvania coal wealth,
It Is comparing eternity to a minute.
Now, It is necessary to conserve
this power, to keep it in the hands Of
the people, for it would be of little
benefit to them, IL some individuals
or corporations owned It, and could
sell 1t back to them. 1t is not meant
by this that It should not be used,
for this should be permitted, and on
liberal, nay, easy terms, so that we of
this generation, may get some of the
benefits Of It, but the title should be
kept in the state, and the power to fix
and regulate the charges for It's use
within certain bounds should also be
kept by the state, when individuals or
corporations are allowed to put It to
use, and 80, to speak, control It. We
are told that 1t is safeguarded now.
But is it?
Timber lands were safeguarded by
the general government, but who owns
and controls them now?
The vast coal fields OF the country
were once the property of the whole
people, Who owns them now?
The vast iron deposits belonged to
Uncle Sam once. Does he own them
now?
The history of the handling of the
nations property is one that Ameri-
cans win do well to keep closed, for
they certainly will not point with
pride at It, no matter what party they
belong to-.
Shall Oregon's water power, great
er than all Of them combined, travel
the same old road?

Russell's sermons is because he does

easy sort Of religion, His belief is that
when man dies he Is dead, body and

is CONSUMPTION CURABLEl

THE wires yesterday brought the
gladsome news that a German
physician had discovered an abb
solute, unfailing cure for all forms Of
tuberculosis. The newspaper man sent
by the news agencies to confirm or de-
ny the report, lends It his unqualified
endorsement. lie says It is true, and
that in more than a thousand cases 1t
has not failed. In closing his COM
ment on It, he says that at is the
greatest Christmas gift ever given to
humanity save one-the first. I the
serum will do what 1t is claimed for
It, or even one-half so much, his state
ment is true.
Consumption has been named that
dread disease While It is sometimes
cured, the cures are due more to some
Of the hidden mysteries Of nature,
rather than to any efforts Of man
Climatic conditions, change, outdoor
living, all those things, are but simply
giving Nature in her inscrutable way
a chance to give relief, There have
been curesof this kind, but so far as
human skill is concerned, It has
stood baffled, helpless, conquered be-
fore this pale messenger Of Death his
first and chiefest. Year after year, In
every country and in every cline,
countless thousands have gone down
into their graves, fading away day
after day once consumption had with
contagious fingers touched their
breasts.
Old age and infancy; strong man
hood and bossoming maidenhood;
strength and beauty; guilt and inno-
cence; wealth and poverty, all sexes,
classes and conditions OF humanity
have fallen before his dread enemy,
helpless, powerless, hopeless,
Thousands Of hearts today are
wrung with despair, as daughter, wife,
son or husband tread with swift feet
the path consumption has blazed out
for them; the gentle down hill path,
the short cut to the last resting spot
whose roof ls the green turf fashioned
with a spade.
It does not seem possible that all
this Is to be changed; that sorrow Is
TO to give place to hope and despair
to Joy,
II one-half claimed for this great
discovery is true, II is indeed the
greatest Christmas gift since Christ
himself was given Of God to man.
The greatest and most beneficial dis
oovery ever made. The greatest boon
to humanity that any one thing could
possibly be, It will be but short
time until It will be known definitely
IL this new serum will do all. or even
part Of what Is claimed for It, and in
the meanwhile most of us will feel
more or less skeptical stll Jenner
robbed smallpox OF It's horrors and
its fangs, which, before his day,
wrought destruction at It's own sweet
will; and this would only be along
the same line, and while we look up-
on It as impossible, yet II is no more
so than that Jenuer should have
proved correct.
Anyway hundreds OF thousands will !
listen with impatient ears to hear the !
glad story confirmed and millions viii .
rejoice with the stricken that the
fountain OF youth has been tapped, .
and this truly dread disease ban .
ished, not only from them, but from
humanity forever
