Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured.

By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
ton of the ear. There is only
one way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness, and that is by a constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness is caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Catarrhal
Deafness that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circu-
lars free. All Druggists, 75c.

crowd at 5000, spent the morn

through the immense throng of
living activity and viewing the
various departments. Leaving
the Grand stand, and moving IN
an Easterly direction the first
thing to attract attention. was
the fine exhibition made by the
Monticello Railway and Com
mercial School, presided over by
the enterprising and efficient
Principal, Prof. w. b. Limerick.
Here was artistically shown all
the modern appliances for upto-
date Commercial and business
courses. Hundreds of people
witnessed this display with eager
interest and general satisfaction.
Entering the main Hall of the
Agricultural Department, i'm
mediately on the right, we
found the display of the 18th Dis
trict Agricultural School, con-
sisting of almost everything
grown on a farm or made by
hand. The needle-work and cul-
mary exhibits of the girls could
not be excelled, and the work
shop display made by the boys,
consisting of cabinets, chisels,
wrenches, screw-drivers, drills,
punches, etc, would have re-
Elected credit on the oldest and

School display had only to be
seen to convince the most skepti-

is performing a good work in
Southeast Arkansas. Prof.
Frank Horsfall and his able
corps of teachers deserves the
highest praise of the people.
They are learning the young
people of this part of the State
to be useful men and women

Miss Leila Goodwin, the lady in
charge of the Girls Canning
Club for Drew County, we feel
like throwing up our hat in her
honor every time we see her
pass by. She has done and is
still doing a grand work for the
Drew County Girls, and she
never seems tire-always will
ing, always ready, to lend her
aid in promoting the work in
which she is enlisted, and this
she does with a patience and zeal
that is worthy of all commenda-
ton. Her Canning Club won
the District prize and captured
the banner, over Ii counties,
and won the Fair premium for
the best display of canned goods.
The excellent showing made
by the Boys Corn Club, under
the supervisor of Mr.. c. c.
Randall, County Demonstration,
proves that great work, in this
line, is being accomplished by
the Drew county boys. The ex-
hibit made by this Club was
most commendable and elected
much praise.

bit of agricultural products, all

POISON SALES
MURDER CLUE
Police Declare Mrs. Amy Arch
er Gilligan Bought Three
Pounds of Acids.
LAST PURCHASE MADE JUST
PRIOR TO ALLEGED CRIME

(By the International News Service.)
Hartford. Conn, May 14.-Mrs. Amy
Archer Gilligan, 1t was discovered today.
purchased a large quantity of arsenic
three days before the death of her second
husband, Michael W. Gilligan. This is
considered by the police as one of the
most important links in the chain of
evidence they declare is IN their pos
session.
Mrs Gilligan is a prisoner in the Hart
ford County Jail, charged with having
caused the death Of Franklin R. Andrews
who was an inmate of her Home for
Elderly People at Windsor.
Although she is being held on the single
charge, States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn
intimates that a murder factory was
being operated there. There have been
forty-eight deaths in the home in five
years.
The polson-sale record of W. H. P.
Mason, a druggist of Windsor, shows
that Mrs Gilligan bought at least three
pounds of deadly poisons there since
September Il, 1908. The State and police
authorities who have been investigating
the case for two years, are in possession
of this data.
The two purchases which the authori-
ties consider most vital in the present
stage of the overwhelming probe. were
made in 1914 On February II, Mrs. Gill;
gan, according to the poison book, "
bought ten ounces of arsenic acid. The
purpose of its use was jotted down on
the record as "for rats"
On February 20, 1914, exactly three days
later. Mr.. GiIligan died, according to the
police, in great agony" He had signed
will the night before. leaving all his
property to his wife. 1t was not admit
ted on a technicality.
The next sale shows that on May g.
1914, four days before the death Of Frank
lin R. Andrews, in connection with which
Mrs. Gilligan was arrested, she bought
two ounces of arsenic, also "for rats"

to protest to Great Britain against the

been shot. Three thousand Irish men and
women who were jammed into Carnegie
Hall in memorial meeting arose to their
feet screaming. For five minutes pan
demomium reigned.
It was one of the most tumultuous
meetings ever held in the hall. From
the moment Victor Herbert. temporary

man Judge Edward V. Gavigan until the
meeting was closed the place was in an
uproar
cambridge Colby and Rev. P. ]. Duffy,
chaplain of the Sixty-ninth Regiment,
had stirred the throng to a tempest of
patriotic frenzy. Alfred J. Tally read
the Irish declaration Of independence
that proved to be the death warrant Of
its valiant sIgners. Judge John ]. Rooney
read a set of resolutions that few could
hear because Of the applause.
And the already weII-kindled FIRE was
famed to a wild flame by Mr.. Cock
rams impassioned exhoration. The ma
tional anthems of Germany and Austria
were cheered to their final note.
The Star Spangled Banner was sung
with a roar that could be heard two
blocks away. Famous Irish melodies were
played while the crowd stood.
