Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

By local applications, az they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and. that is by constitu-
onal remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
m ( cous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this. tube inflsmed you have a
-rumbling sound orimperfeet hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to'its nor
nal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that cam
aot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi

INCOME TAX
SHOWS SLUMP
State to Realize Less Money
Than Last Year

The income tax paid in North Da.
kota this year will be materially lower
than last year, according to figures of
the state tax commissioners.
The tax commissioner has certified
for collection income tax on individu.
ais amounting to $6l,572.12 and on
corporations of $312,164.12, a total Of
s373,73G24 as compared to a total Of
$532,1S9,69 last year, of which $685.
467l5 was for individuals and $476,-
1884 for corporations.
A general decrease in corporation
earnings is given as the" chief cause.
The amount certified for this year will
be increased somewhat, however, by
reports OF firms which are allowed to
make reports on the basis of their
fiscal year, ending July l.. The in:
come tax is payable July 1 and be-
comes delinquent July 25.
The increase in individual income
tax is ascribed to the fact that in
last years assessment dividends earn
ed the year previous but paid within
the taxing period were exempted.
Railroads, which pay about one
third of the corporation income tax,
have announced they will test the
validity Of the rule of the tax COM
missioner taxing them upon profits
earned in interstate traffic.

CLERK ACCUSED
OF MURDER WILL
MAKE Big FIGHT
Relatives of william GUNNER,
Accused of Fargo Crime,
Come to Aid
HE ALONE IS SUSPECTED
States Attorney Denies That Ar
rest Of Clerk is Merely
Blind
HE ALONE IS SUSPECTED

Fargo, June 17.-Relatives of vii.
liam GUNNER, night clerk of the local
hotel in which Marie Wick, IS. was
murdered last week, are prepared to
wage big legal battle in his behalf.
Declaration that the 22-year.old boy
Is innocent was made by Attorney
Brickner, for the defense, who de.
clared that GUNNER had voluntarily
and willingly assisted the authorities
to his fullest power" and that he
has perfect confidence In the outcome.
Rumors Of his confession are abso-
lutely false.' ,./ ...s.. ..-
States Attorney Green denied that
the arrest Of GUNNER was a blind to
permit authorities to hunt down other
men suspected of the murder.
"The state Is now working on It's
case against GUNNER alone, and
against no other person." declared MIR.
Green. ''Of course | cannot discuss
the nature Of the evidence we have
against the prisoner at this time and
thus try the case in the newspapers,
but we're absolutely sure we have the
right man. We are now at work
gathering up the evidence we have
secured against GUNNER and this will
be presented at the hearing" -.
Yesterday the states attorney issued
q statement that no finger prints had
been secured in the room that proved
of any value. He indicated that he
expects to convict GUNNER on other
evidence. It was admitted that this
evidence Is more or less circumstan.
tial. . s..
I'VE made several attempts to pho
tOgraph and develop the finger prints
secured In the room where the crime
was committed but failed" said Mr..
Green yesterday. ITO the eye excel
lent finger prints Of the asaadlant
we're found on the arm Of the mu:-
dered girl but because of the pores
In the skin these could not be de.
veloped. The finger prints on the
wall were too smeared up to show
any definite lines and 80 were OF no
value as evidence. ,.4. ,
1.-THE photographs of the finger
prints were sent to Minneapolis in
the hope that something could be
made of them there but we received
the final report this morning that It
had been fruitless. While we were
trying to develop these we took finger
prints of large number of people
connected with the investigation in
the hope that we would have some.
thing with which to compare them
later on. But now finger prints will
not figure as evidence in this case at
ALL" 90.
Gumner's hearing has been set for
June 21 at 10 q. m.. He Is being held
in the county jail without bail. Re.
ports from Mayville yesterday stated
that no one who knows William Gum
mer and his family believes that he
can be guilty of the crime. William
was born and raised on farm near
Mayville and has always had splen-
did reputation, his neighbOrs claim
Mrs. Morris GUNNER, of Mayville,
arrived in Fargo yesterday to comfort
her son and lend what aid she can
in providing for his defense.
