Memorial to Major Faulkner.

President Taft yesterday dictated a
letter to the National Society of the
Daughters of 1872. stating that after in
vestigation he found no objection to the
erection of a permanent memorial to Maj.
Faulkner on Craney Island. in Hampton
Roads. Maj. Faulkner and small
force of American troops fought the
British on the island June 81. 1873.
Several government departments
have establishments on Craney Island.
and there was some question as to juris'
diction. which was finally settled by the
President granting the PERMISSION to erect
the memorial.
The above is taken from the Washing
ton Post MAJ. James Faulkner was the
grandfather of Judge f BOYD Faulkner,
former Senator Cnas. j. Eau kner and
Mrs. ]. w. McSherrv. this CITY. He
died on the nth of April, 1917, and wa:
buried in Norbourne cemetery. Martins
burg, where granite monument now
stands erected to his m mnry.
About four miles west OF Norfol K, Va.
and commanding the approach to thai
CITY. is Craney Island; and it was indis
pensible that the enemy sln nj possessi'
before they could reach the cities of Nor
folk and Portsmouth. The battle was
won exclusively by the artillery com
manded by Maj. Fan kner, the force re-
pulsed being under command of Admiia
Warren and Gen Sir Sidney Beckwith
1t is altogether fitting and proper thai
this memorial should be erected TO Nj
Faulkner. now that nearly century has
elapsed since the battle referred to, and
which has already been too long della yed
The details Of the battle can be seen IL

Great Britain and, also. in an elaborate
report of the committee of the House Of
Delegates of Vmginis.- M artinsbnrs

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach 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 infiamed 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
fammation 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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Leaving aside the question of per-
sonal consistency and sincerity in
certain changes of opinion on spe-
cific questions of government, which
are much discussed in connection
with Gov Wilson,-and none of
these charges can be said to compare
with those which distinguished the
career of Mr.. Gladstone-it appears
that Gov. Wilson's course, on the
whole, has been shaped with master
ly comprehension of the political
difficulties to be encountered in be-
coming president of the United
States by way of the democratic par
ty. He is today emphatically the
democratic candidate of prominence
who in a campaign would divide
his party least, while making serious
inroads into the ranks of the oppo-
stion. And this achievement for a
mere schoolmaster, reveals a talent
for politics of high order-Spring-
field Republican.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

II have decided to announce my
candidacy for the democratic nomi-
nation for congress in the eighth
Iowa congressional district. In so
doing at this time I am taking into
consideration the fact that no other
candidates have announced, and also
that the time-limit for the filing OF
petitions is near at hand.
81 entertain pretty fixed notions
concerning the wisdom of our fore
fathers in drafting Constitution
which is strong enough, yet flexible
enough, to suit our needs. True 1t Is
that it needs amending from time to
time, but l want to be sure that a
change is an improvement before
lending it support.
"We have rather too many laws
than otherwise. ] believe that the
enactment of a new law should be
undertaken with fear and trem
bling The laws now upon the
statute books should be given the
most searching examination with the
view of amending them if necessary
possibly removing them altogethe1
from the statute books.
''1f nominated ! will make hare
square campaign based upon the is
sues and if elected, I will to the
best of my ability try to secure JUS
legislation for the farmer, the bus
mess man, the laboring man as wei
as all other classes"

70 them 4 way to kill of tho infam-
GUS Taft tariff board. The plan Is
to pass through the house bill for
the creation Of a bureau of tariff
statistics that shall be responsible
to the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, instead of to the executive
branch alone, and that shall investi-
gate and report on facts at the re-
quest of the house, which has au-
thority to initiate revenue measures.
There will then be no necessity for
an appropriation for the tariff board
permitting that body to die with
this fiscal year.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause In
jury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect
cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user
a cent if it does not give entire salts
faction and completely remedy con-
stipation. This preparation is called
Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt,
soothing, and most effective in &C
ton. They are made of recent
chemical discovery. Their principal
ingredient is odorless, tasteless, and
colorless. Combined with other we'll
known ingredients, long established
for their usefulness in the treatment
of constipation, it forms tablet
may be taken at any time, either
day or night, without fear of their
causing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe, purge. nor cause
nausea. They act without causing
any pain or excessive 1ooseness of the
bowels. They are ideal for children,
weak, delicate persons, and aged
people, as we'll as for the most
hearty person.
They come in three size packages,
IL tablets, 10 cents; Sc tablets, 25
cents; 80 tablets, SO cents. Remem.

No president has yet been re-elect-
ed whose party lost control of the
house of representatives in the mid
die of his term, points out the Ne
vada Representative, and adds: A
different president than Taft is called
for, if hope is to be entertained of
reversing this unbroken precedent
There is no relation of cause and
sequence between second terms and
an opposition majority in the house.
Opposition majorities in the lower
house are quite liable to occur in
the reaction from tension of a cleo
ton, as they did under President
Buchanan at the congressional cleo
ton of 1858; Grant, 1874; Hayes,
1878; Arthur, 1882; Harrison,
