Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion 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 a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inhamma-
tion 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 in
1iamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars

catarrh that cannot be cured by

JEALOUSY BACK OF MURDER.
ROyalists Clamor for Downfall OF
Cabinet-Threatene Exile.

Paris, March 1S.-Disorder aris-
ing from the assassination of CASTOR
Calmette, famous journalist and edi-
tor of the Figaro, by Nine. Henrietta
CaillauX, wife Of the former Minister
of Finance, was frequent in this city
to-day, despite the hundreds of police
who patrolled the boulevards.
The political scandal arising from
the killing Of NJ. Calmette has STIR
red and shocked the entire country.
Enemies Of CaillauX declared to-
day that they would drive him from
public life, and, if possible, exile
him from the ranks of decent peo-
ple."
The agitation against Callaiux and
the ministry is being led by Leon
Daudet and handful of youthful fol-
lowers of the Royalist League. The
Royalists see in the present crisis
the greatest chance to strengthen
their organization.
Sensational revelations which have
followed the killing of Calmette indi-
cate that the full extent of the
causes which lay behind the assassin
alton are not yet known.
Nine. CaillauX has dramatically de-
clared that she shot the journalist in
retaliation for attacks which had
been printed against her husband in
the Figaro, and because NJ. Calmette
had published part Of a love letter
written to her by Caillaux while she
was the wife Of another.
1t seems now that the elements of
hatred and jealousy involved in this
tragedy are more far-reaching than
at first believed. In fact, it may be
shown that the affair resulted almost
entirely from the anger Of jealous
woman. Puritanical persons point to
this great tragedy as a result Of the
morals Of the upper classes" and it

boxes are locked and the count is

There is not that tense feeling
around the polling places which is al
ways noticeable when there is close
election in which the entire communi-
ty is vitally interested. There have
been no knots of men standing around
on the street corners talking over the
candidates as is customary in state
and county elections. There have been
no crowds of unusual size around the
city hall and around the court house
where the votes are being polled.
The voters have not punched up but
have been going and coming all morn
ing
At the city hall at noon about 200
votes had been cast and the court
house count was only a few votes
ahead Of that number. The total mum
ber of qualified electors in the city is
! 147s 1t is unusual that more than q
thousand votes are polled in any elec
tion. In a close race sometimes the
number runs up to 1,200.
Mayor Batson is the only man VIII,
is not worried over the result of tn,
election. He has no opposition. Tn
candidates today were sending auto
mobiles and carriages to the factorie
