of frame OF bronze or brass, into

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect 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 can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi
cine. Circulars free. All Druggists.

OPERATION ON BRAIN
 REFORMS PRISONER
Results of Remarkable Surgical Treatment Will Be Used in Eff
 fort to Obtain Release.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Results of an operation performed to remove bull let from the brain of Benjamin Buck ner, serving life term in the Joliet state penitentiary for murder, which transformed him from 'bad man" to a model prisoner, will be put be- fore the state board of paroles and pardons in an effort to obtain his re- lease, it became known here today.
 Buckner was sentenced in 1905. Upon his arrival at the prison he be- gan reign of terror, engaging in fights with other prisoners and re- fusing to obey orders. He continued to be unmanageable until recently when he complained of severe head aches. He told physicians that years ago he had been shot in the head and the bullet had not been removed. The bullet was found near the base of the brain. Its pressure, physicians said, was the cause of his outbreaks.

NAVAL TREATY IS
 ALMOST COMPLETE
America to Retain IS Ships of Total Tonnage of 5OO,65O--Fortifica- tions Clause Is Yet Unsettled
 and in Much Doubt.

Washington, Jan. 19.--The pre- amble to the naval or five power treaty which is now understood to be complete with the exception of arti- cle 19 relaing to Notifications, is as follows:
 "The United States of America, the British Empire, France, Italy, and Japan, desiring to contribute to the maintenance of the general peace and reduce the competition in armament, have resolved with view to accom- plishing a treaty to limit their re- spective naval ornaments and to that end have appointed as their plenipo- tentaries (Here follows the names of the representatives of the powers in Washington.)
 One of the most important articles of the treaty is that naming capital ships of the powers which are to be retained. The list of American ves- sels given in the treaty to be retained follow:
 Maryland, California, Tennessee Idaho, New Mexico and Mississippi all ranging around 32,600 tons,
 Arizona and Pennsylvania, 31,40C tons each.
 Oklahoma, Nevada, New York and Texas, 27,000 to 27,500 tons.
 Arkansas and Wyoming, 26,0OC tons each.
 Florida and Utah, 1925 tons each
 North Dakota and Delaware, 20,- GOO tons each.
 The total tonnage of American cap ital ships retained is 500,650.
 When a solution of the fortifica tions problem will be possible is re garded by some as dubious ques tion.
 By some delegations the proposa is put forward that the troublesome article be dropped from the treat! altogether, and either attached to thu | four-power Pacific treaty alread. signed or embodied in separate con vention to be drawn later. Thus far however, that suggestion has re mained in an informal stage and con ference leaders are going ahead or the assumption that the provision vii remain in the naval pact.
 In the light of renewed instruction from TolSio to the Japanese delega ton, the naval drafting experts vii meet tomorrow to try to work out new phrasing of the article.

LOCAL COURT REVERSED

Euureme Tribunal Sends Back for Re-
 fsial One of Cattle Stealing Cases.
 When Circuit court met last Octo- Der the last one of the celebrated cat tie stealing cases from the section west of Hatfield to be tried was that of Gus Roy. Mir. Roy was convicted and given a prison sentence. He ap- pesled from the findings of the Cir cult court and on Monday the su- prerne court notified Norwood & Alley, attorneys for Roy, that the case had been reversed and remanded. The case of Roy- while the last one tried, is the first to be passed upon by the Supreme court. Roy was found gull fv of the crime of grand larceny and hnd been indicted as one of the prin- eipals in the stealing ali subsequent butchering of cows owned by Ira Me Gown. According to the plea of Roy's 3sftorneys no proof was offered that he had helped steal the COW. It was also charged that the Circuit court .permitted evidence regarding an all lered conspiracy and other improper matter tt. go before the jury. In re- versing 1Iie case the Circuit court held fhere twas a fatal variance between the proof offered and the crime charged in the indictment" Three other cases growing out of the cattle sKealing case went to the supreme court and will be passed upon at the Nav term. These are the cases of c. 1.. Smith, Crock Warren and Charles Nfehnls
