There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

unless the inflammation can be taken out

Otto Neuendorn, the Mayville, Wis,
man who claimed he was held up and
robbed of $3.50 Friday, has confessed
that it was faxed and that he shot him.
self. His excuse is that he told his
sweetheart that he had money, and
took this method to square himself.
DIR. Henry Ogden reports that from
8 o'clock p. m. Monday, Sept. 18th, to
IL p. m. that evening there was rain
fall of five inches. He also states,
with his records as authority, that this
was the largest amount of rain that

A team of colts belonging to Paul
Bendig, drawing a democrat wagon oc-
cupied by Mrs. Bendig, her three sons
and one daughter and her friend, Mrs.
Kowalskie, ran away last Sunday after
noon and caused considerable excite
ment on the city main street. The
"honk honk' of an automobile fright
ened the colts and they started on a
Gead run across the main street bridge
with the two women and four children
clinging to the seats. Pedestrians dis
covered that the horses were without a
driver and tried to stop them at the
Haumerson corner, but in so doing the
steeds became more frightened and
made quick turn up S. Water street.
They rounded the corner with terrific
speed and when Mrs. Bendig tried to
get the reins the seat which she and
one son were occupying turned over
and threw both out of the wagon to
the ground. A doctor was called and
after examination it was found that the
youngster had escaped serious injury
although his ankles were badly bruised.
Mrs. Bendig's nose and left side of her
face were scraped. On the Royce &
Holstein Lumber Co. corner one of the
other tots fell out, but luckily was I'M
injured. The little one was picked up
by VIM. Pinger and taken to the moth
er. The team continued its wild dash
until it collided with pole near the
Milo G. Jones home.

he didn't pay them certain sum of
money for alleged improper relations
with Mrs. Morrow before her marriage.
Last Mondays rain and wind storm
was one of the most destructive this
season. Eleven tobacco sheds nearly
all filled with tobacco were leveled to
the ground, several silos and many
windmills. Those coming to our notice
who sustained losses were: Ness (Tor-
bleau farm, tobacco shed, large tool
shed and windmill; Iver Lawrence, one
tobacco shed; John Christlanson, Chris
tiana, two sheds; Ellef Dahl, windmill;
VIM. Berg, south of Cambridge, tobac-
co shed; Elias Thompson, tobacco shed;
Henry Doxtod, tobacco shed T. G.
Thompson, half of one home barn and
new tin roof on Hovde farm barn; Oh
son (Neupert FARM, silo; Oscar Han
son berg farm), silo; K. Henderson,
south farm, two tobacco sheds; Eydall,
tobacco shed; Albert Johnson, silo.
East and south of London nearly
hundred hay stacks are practically
floating in water. In the western
marshes along the Koshkonong and
also to the south along Mud Creek the
same is true. The big new bitches are
running brim full more than 48 hours
after the rain.

them with silver shower in honor of

Probably the worst storm in the
memory of present residents of Cam
bridge passed over this vicinity Mon
day night 1t broke about 1890 in the
evening with terrific downfall of rain
amounting almost to a clOudburSt.
Trees were broken down and uprooted
in various parts of town and telephone
and electric light wires carried with
them. Fortunately the lighting service
was not interrupted, but many of the
telephone lines are still out of commits
sion. The intense rainfall washed a
great hole in the creek bank next to
Mrs. Hatley's house. But the greatest
damage was in the surrounding country
where nearly a score of tobacco sheds
filled with this years crop were blown
down, crushing the harvest of of a sea-
sons toll underneath them. This will
be a serious loss coming just at this
time of the year and the work of saw
ing what is left of the leaf will be a
very expensive matter, although many
are volunteering aid to get the tobacco
under shelter. So far as we have been
able to learn the following covers the
list of losses in this vicinity, the sheds
all containing tobacco but in some cases
it did not belong to the owner of the
shed: John C. Ness, shed and windmill;
H. L. Duxstad, two sheds; Selmer
Loe, shed; Martin Kenseth, shed; Olson
estate, shed and other buildings; Henry
Henderson, two sheds, silo and wind
mill; VIM. Berg, shed; Elias Thomp
son, shed; Edwin Bilstad, shed with
Fred Nelson's tobacco; ]. P. Cholsetn
shed; John c. ABBY, shed.

ONLY THE LULL
BEFORE A storm
Spffrasettes Are Resting to Reooup
Forces -Militants Threaten
Trouble in Europe.

London, Feb, 14,---Ncxt to the
Home Rule question the most ab-
aorbing problem faced by the pres
ent session of Parliament concerns
the attitude Of tho militant suffra-
gcttes. Supporters of tho govern
ment declare that recent inactivity
of the suffragcttes indicates that the
Cat and Mouse" act has accom-.
plished far more than its most san
guine defenders ever expected and
that there is little TO fear this year.
On the other hand the militants de.
clare that the prevailing quiet mas
only been a lull before the storm and
that their apparent submission to
tho hated act was deliberately plan
ned to give the "mice" an opportun-
ity to recOup their forces for a cam.
paign which will make all their
former battles with tho government
seem comparatively insignificant.
According to figures supplied by
Ehe Home office, only forty-cight
have been imprisoned
in England and Wales since the
Cat and Mouse" act was passed
nino months ago, as compared with
40 sllfragetto prisoners during
1912. At present writing only two
remain in prison. Six
have completed their sentences or
Paid their fines, two have been Gis-
upon giving pledges of good
behavior, and thirty-seyen fled
while temporarily released in order
to escape further punishment. The
odd one is Sylvia Panhurst who was
recently released and who has been
recovering from the effects of her
has =. hunger strike.
y II threats which the militarts
have made are carried out, however,
th8 year viii outrank any other for
troublesome times. The effort 20
reach the King at Buckingham Pal
ace, announced as part Of the pro-
cram proposed at the first meeting
of the Woman's Social and Political
Union This year, is only one of the
ways in which the women intend to
keep .ueir cause before the pubic.
The niIItants claim that their treas
u5y is oyerflowing and that the
ranks, depleted for a time by IL
ness aud prison bars, are again full
OF fighters ready for a long cam
paign. Never since the Womeu's
Social and Political Union occupied
its big building on Kingsway has
the place been so quiet as during sho
past few months, but it is said that
much of the work of preparation
for this years campaign has been
going on at the homes of members
or other places so that Scotland
Yard will have some difficulty in
repeating its famous raid upon the
