acipality a becoming and exuberant
carmine the other night after which
they retired to a hotel room where
in handling an automatic revolver
one of them was instartly killed ths
weapon being in the hands of the
survivor cf the tragedy who made ar
unsuccessful attempt at self-destruction
upon seeing his friends death
John Barleycorn has bested the brain
lest men of the ages yet there isnt
a mental shrimp so shrimpy that
doesnt think he can take a dring
and let it alone Maybe he can
hut he dont And tragedy and re
morse are written all over the pag
es of history in terms of human
blood and agony
The presence of so many unacccm
fcjanisd and unattended women and
girls on the streets of McCcok
nights is more a monument to tlie
safety of womanhcod in our city than
it is creditable to observance of
social rules

Dear Mr McConnell I desire to
take to return my mGSt
sincere and grateful thanks to the
mnl cf the Xorris Club and to
all other friends in McCcok for the
enthusiastic and Joyal support that
was given to my candidacy in tlie re
cent senatorial contest I am of
course very much pleased and delight
ed to know that I was victorious in
this contest but the pleasure and
satisfaction of victory Ls nor cs muih
gratification to me as the knowledge
of the oval support that I reoehed
from my neighbors and friends in
my own home During tlie contest
that is to follow in which I expect
to engage with all my vigor and
strength I will be much encouraged
and strengthened by the knowLed
of tlie loyalty and anthusiasm of the
neighbors and friends wio know me
best In the fight that I have been
making during the last several years
I have been often discouraged by the
determined and bitter opposition
coming from honest patriotic and
well meaning citiens who did not full
appreciate the terrible struggle that
the Progrsasive Republicans in the
House were compelled to make
against an entrenched political ma
chine
I take my nomination as a vindica
tion of the course that I have per
sued in the past and it is a source
of the greatest gratification to
know that my icfforts have been ap
preciated This has been particular
ly shown and particularly emphasiz
sd by the over whelming vote of con
fidence that I have received in my
home and in that portion of the state
where I am best known
Again thanking you and those yea
represent and wishing for you all
prosperity and happiness I remain
Yours truly

Washington May G The work
mens compensation bill was passed bj
the senate today G4 to 15 substan
tially as framed by the employers
liability committee and amended oinly
to increase its benefits The bill
sharply fought by some of the dem
ocrats for several days now goes to
the house A number of amendments
were offered hut only a few were ac
cepted and these were with ac
quiescence of Senator Sutheralnd in
charge of the bill The principal
changes made during three hours of
roll calls provide that compensation
for accidental injury and death of
railroad employes shall continue to
children until they are sixteen years
old and would extend payment in the
caGe cf daughters until they are
twenty unless same are married
Again the bill would provide an
exclusive remedy and compensation
for accidental disability or death to
employes of railroads in interstate
commerce or the District of Colum
bia on theory of insuring each em
ploye against results of injury in em
ployment without referenoe to con
tributory negligence or any of the
rules of common law empolyars lia
bility It would provide medical ser
vice for the injured and means for
money recovery proportioned to the
property of tlie victim It is the
outcome of a long investigation by
the committee and was strongly urg
ed by President Taft
In the long debate which preced
ed passage of the bill many senat
ors took part and there ware spir

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local annlications 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 inflamed condition of the mucous
lining 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 inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by
