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
infIamed condition of the mucus 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 this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an in
flammed condition OF the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

FLYNN May BOX
Willard, IS
RUMOR
BIG KANSAN WILL MEET FIRE.
MAN If HE DEFEATS MORRIS
OCTOBER 29

Kansas City, Oct 23.-Jim Flynn,
Pueblo fireman-fighter, who was de-
feated Tuesday by Battling LeyinslSy,
Is still in the fighting game. He will
meet Carl Morris here on October 20,
before the G. A. A. G. at the American
Association baseball park. Flynn
left New York last night for this city
directly after his bout with Leyinsky
before the Brooklyn Athletic club.
Matchmaker Hurst receive a telegram
from Flynn yesterday in which he
stated that he never got a mark in
his battle with the Danny Morgan
hope, but adds he nearly knocked out
Levinsky in the fifth round with
short left hook against the Hebrews
iaw. The fact that Jim Flynn, who is
a fighter, not boxer, was able to
break even with the flashy New York
er adds further to the prowess Of the
fireman, no matter what his faults
may be. Each bout shows that Flynn
is factor to be recolSned with among
the heavyweights. 1t would appear
that this is Flynn's best year in the
boxing game.
Jesse Willard, who is slated to scrap
it out with Jack johnson, negro
heavyweight champion, st. Patrick's
LAY in Juarez, Mexico, will have to
cross leather with Flynn before he
gets the opportunity to battle for the
coveted title if Flynn should happen
to knock out the Mccartney hope, Carl
Morris, the night before the opening
of the new railway station in this city.
Morris and Flynn are bitter rivals in
the heavyweight rank and their third
meeting is sure to bring out one of
the largest out-oftown delegations
that ever witnessed a boxing contest
in this city Morris is still the idol
OF Oklahoma boxing followers and
naany believe Morris will gain a crack
AT the JIJle uuu6T MCCdln0y, WIZ bOOa
the obscure Luther McCarty and sent
him across the pugilistic world
with one bout. Morris is just big,
fine specimen of man, who is capa-
l,le of boxing and fighting, but who
has been terribly mismanaged in the
past.
Fill Mccartney said last night that
Morris would arrive here Sunday
night and take up quarters at the
Louie Cutler gymnasium and put in
week Of solid work on the ground. He
is now training with Jeff Clark, the
Joplin black boxer, and corps Of
other scrappers. The big Sapulpa
battler says his condition is splend
i'd and he will be in the finest kind Of
shape for Flynn.
Flynn will go direct to Excelsior
Springs and take up the old lucky
camp at the Excelsior auditorium anc
prepare himself for his go with Nor
ris. Abdul, Turkish trainer, will take
charge of the camp.
