Deafness Cannot Be Cured. {

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There ais bnly 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 a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing; and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and Hthis tube restored to it's 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.

JURY FAILED TO
 REACH A VERDICT
TICE HOFFMAN ALPHABETICALLY DENIED CHARGE MADE BY ME-
 GRO IN CONFESSION.
Employer Says He is Reliable.--C -Case May Be Tried Again in Mag
 istrate's Court Today.

Tice Hoffman, local bartender en- ployed at the Valley Saloon, was giv- en a preliminary hearing before Mag istrate Gabe Meyer yesterday after property, but the jury failed to agree and was discharged last night by the magistrate It is stated that the case will be tried again today. Hoffman was defended by Judge W. D. Jones and District Attorney Nixon repre- sented the state.
 The charge against Hoffman grew out of a confession, made by Dan Cook, a negro porter employed by Henry Marx at his Main street gents furnishing house. following Cooks arrest last Saturday by Constable larceny, sixteen cases being docketed against Cook. The porter admitted stealing ties, socks, handkerchiefs, shoes and other articles from his em- ployer and said that he gave some of them to Hoffman for whiskey. Hotf- man denied the charge on the witness stand yesterday and the state failed to show, except through Cook, that there was any wrong doing on Hoff- mans part. The negro's statements were not exactly clear, after Judge Jones cross examined him.
 Cook had testified that he had given Hoffman goods for Whiskey and that he had had q conversation with the bartender, in which the latter is sup posed to have told him to secure goods from Henry Marx, his employ CT, and assured him that he would give him Whiskey for them, Hoffman on the stand denied emphatically that he had never received any goods from him. The box of socks left at Hotfmans home Saturday night were not addressed to anyone and they were found on his front porch when Hoffman returned home that night with a party of friends. He did not know who they were for, believing at first that they might belong to some roomers.
 Hoffman had given Jim Hargrove some ties and socks last Saturday night and when Hargrove learned of

REV. WHITTINCTON
 ACCEPTS TIE CALL
POPULAR PASTOR DECIDES TO GO TO CONWAY AND WILL RE- I
 SIGN HERE AUGUST 1.
Believes Conway Field Offers Better Opportunities For Him---PastOr
 Ohio Street Church.

Rev. Otto Wilmington who received a call by telephone some time ago from the congregation of the First Baptist church at Conway, stated last night that he had decided to accept the call and will forward a message of acceptance to the Conway church to- day. The congregation of the Ohio Street Baptist church, of which Rev. Wilmington has been pastor for the past four years, will receive his res ignaton at the next business session which will be held one week from te. night. The resignation is effective August 1.
 Rev. Wilmington and his family will enjoy two weeks vacation and take up his new work about August 15.
 In giving his reasons for accepting the call Rev Wilmington stated it was not because of lack of appre- citation shown by members of his con- gregation, nor was it the result of any local matter, but because of the op- portunity that the field at Conway offered.
 Rev. Wilmington is one of the most popular ministers in the city and members of his church any many others have importuned him to re- main in this city. During his pastor ate here he has more than doubled the membership of the Ohio Street church and through his efforts the sum of SS,000 has been raised on the church debt. ::

on them the importance of taking the necessary steps to have individual re presentation at the meetings at the national capital.
 Dr. Oliver Wilson, of Paragould, Ark, one of the members of the State committee on the congress, is taking a lively interest in securing for the State all possible benefits from this convention of hygienic experts from all corners of the world. On her ini- tiatiye it is expected that a large num- Der of members will be brought into the congress, and since each member is entitled to copy of the proceed ings, very general knowledge of the most advanced methods for the pro- lection of health will be available to the State of Arkansas.
 The importance of the forthcoming congress from a municipal viewpoint was we'll illustrated in a recent letter written by pr. John s. Fulton, secre- tary-general of the conG ress, when he said:
 'lt will be a genuine hardship to any health officer who is obliged to forego the opportunity of attending. It is not in the least eXtravagant to say that the congress and exhibition will he the most powerful instrumentality for the improvement of public health conditions which has ever been placed at the disposal of the people of the United States, or is likely to become available to them within the next 30 years,''

SAYS ROOSfYfL1'S CLAIMS WERE WEAK Dr. R. c. Thompson Returns From National Convention
 and Sings Taft's Praises.
HEARD TEDDY SPEAK
Says New Party WilI Not Worry Standpatters, But Admits Re-
 publican Weakness.
Dr. Richard C. Thompson, probably

Dr. Richard C. Thompson, probably the biggest factor in Republican pol tics in Jefferson county, accompanied by his wife, returned Monday after noon from Chicago where he attend ,ed the National ;Republic ican convel-l tion.
 pr. Thompson seemed thoroughly satisfied with the outcome of the great gathering and when qiestion- ed as to his opinion concerning the convention said:
 "The action of the convention i'll the prOmulgation of protective tariff theory of modified and scientific form, a firmly repeated enunciqtlon. of constitutional liberties, with just limitations, the abrogation of all a heresies founded on demagogical theories and is in keeping with what might have been expected in a Repub- lican convention. The Republican party, from it's inception, has ever advocated principles which, however progressive, never depart from the spirit or essence or the views of those who founded our Republic, on the granite, unchanging truth. The nat ional ascendancy of the Rpublican party has been maintained by the best elements of American citizenship. The pendulum of government swings sometimes to extremes under the con- trol of patriotic, though misguided in fluences. The mission of the Repub- lican party has been from time to time to restore the equilibrium. The election of MT. Taft in November will best conserved by the sober thoughts of citizens who are conservative and not destructive. The reforms so ar dently desired will be gradually brought about. When we make haste slowly we can be surer of the ground on which we stand. This is funda- mental principle of all genuine pro gress."
 In speaking of the claims of Colonel Roosevelt that many delegates mad been seated illegally Dr. Thompson cited several instances where the contesting delegates had no semblanee of contest. Only to the desire on the mart of the Colonel to dominate the convention could the claim of fraud be traced.
 pr. Thompson flouted the idea that Roosevelt's organization of new party would affect the welfare of the standpatters, but when questioned as to his real belief ill his party chances of success again the Jetfer- son county Eoss had little to say, put admitted that the Republican party possessed less power than for many years.

POISONING BY TEA.
When the Cup That Cheers May Be.
come a Menace to Health.

come a Menace to Health.
1t is only in comparatively recent
times that tea drinking has been at all
prevalent in this country. Coffee is the
national drink and is more largely con-
sumed by far than any other beverage.
But tea drinking is making great
strides, the reason for which is not
hard to find. The advantages Of tea
over coffee as a stimulating and cheer
ing drink do not consist in a superiOri
ey of its component parts, but in the
fact that a good tea can be more easily
produced than a good coffee and that it
is more easily made than coffee.
A very great deal Of the virtue OF
coffee consists in the manner in which
it is converted into beverage, and
seldom is the art carried out efficiently.
Many of the concoctiCns which are sold
as coffee in restaurants and consumed
in private houses are not worthy of the
name. On the other hand. tea is easily
made. the chief point being that the
water used for the infusion boils and
that the infusion is drunk when fresh
and not allowed to stand.
However. there are occasions, and
these not infrequent, when tea drink
ing is harmful. Tea poisoning is a
more or less common condition in those
countries in which the habit of drink
ing tea is prevalent, as in England, for
instance. Among the working classes
the women often become addicted t..
the tea habit and not only drink to ex.
cess. slipping tea throughout the day
but Grink it in such a state that the
poisonous properties are most evident.
The tea is in a stewed condition, the
pot being kept on the stove the whole
! day. Men, too. who work at indoor
trades and at trades which from their
nature tend TO create thirst often be.
come excessive tea drinkers.-lTedical
