By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbl ing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely clo ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure Send for circulars free. P. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O. Sold bv Druggists, 75c.

One of the attractions booked at the Emporium Opera House, for Tuesday, Jan. 29, 1907, is "Quincy Adams Saw yer," the great New England drama in its fifth season of uninterrupted suc cess. Everyone who has read the book of the same name from which the play was taken, will want to see the play just the same, for everybody loves a clean, wholesome play of the New England life, and this is just what "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is Best of alt it has departed from the weather beaten tracks of the old-time drama. The pleasing points are a simple, sweet love story, a continuous series of humorous incidents, and an almost heretofore unknown natural ness and purity that pervades the en tire play. To begin with you start at the coun try store and postoffie where you see '•Quincy Adams Sawyer" as the city chap helping his country friends and outdoing his country enemies. You are made known of the pretty love affairs of several of the village young folks and your interest in Mason's corner folks is firmly established. Next you find yourself at the Cross Roads. Here takes place one of the prettiest, touches of tne clay, where Zekies describes the surroundings to his blind sister. The scene shitts to Mrs. Putnam's sitting room and you meet the ludicrous Samantha, and grow a bit apprehensive over Lindy's affairs which have got into a curious tangle. Next you find yourself atareal husk ing bee at the Petteugill farmyard You will hold your sides in laughter at the gotesque dancing of Abner Stiles and Mrs. Crawley. When you recover, you tiud that you are in the midst of a good old-fashion ed snow storm, but you shiver for onlv a minute or two, for the interior of the comfortable Petteugill homestead is opened to your gaze. Everybody etts supper, all the tangled love affairs are straightened out and everybody is supremely happy. You are happy too, for the joys and sorrows of those quaint people have been your own. You go away with the singing of the doxology lingering in your ears;and feeling that y>u have tasted a piece of genuine rural atmosphere. Game Warden Kalbfus is Much Encouraged. "I am just getting in reports of the deer killing iu this state during the open season which closed last month" said State Game Warden Kalb fus, "and I find that the killing was the largest for years There were also more boars killed this year than for many years. Some of the deer hunters paid no attention to the game laws and will get into trouble. Game of all kinds has been plentiful, with . the ex caption of quail and wookcock. We want legislation that will close the season for shooting these birds for several years. Why the pot hunters even cleaned out the imported birds that we brought here from Alabama to propagate. In the lower end of Dauphin county two men paid $9 a dozen for Alabama birds intending to stock their farms, and when they liberated them they 'banded' their legs —that is placed asmallaluminum band "bout the lej" with the date of libera tion on it. They did this to see if they would remain on the farm. They stay ed on the farm all right, but a gang of pot hunters got in among them and slaughtered evm> one. If there is a law to forbid quail shooting for several years the biids could have a chance to live. We are getting much encourage merit now for the p ittance of a law compelling every hunter to take a state license If such pot hunters will be caught up without it license, then they can he pu. shed." "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1907. Oranges Frozen.

Felt, who owns five groves. The trees were not injured, only the fruit. Dynamite in a Christmas Cigar. Joseph Vater, a jeweler at Roulette, Potter county, is the victim of a cigar 1 mded with dynamite, which he re ceived as a Christmas present. He smoked three cigars of a box received supposedly from a friend, and they proved good. He noticed that the wrapper of the fourth one was loose and he patched it with tissue paper.

DININNY, aged ($3 years, widow of the late Theo. Din inny, who died several years aga, pass ed away on Dec. 21st, 1906, at the home of her sister, at Campbell, N. Y., after an illness of two years, of a com plication of diseases. Mrs. Dininny went to Campbell last July, hoping the change might prolong her life.

Y.; Frank W., of town; Ray E., of Buffalo; and Miss Myrtle, an adopted daughter, who will make her home in Buffalo with Ray Dininny, after she completes her schooling at Camphell.

Mrs. Dininny has for years been an active an consistent member of M. E. Church, also a hard worker in Ladies Relief Corps, always lending a helping liand to the sick and needy. Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. Mason Bros., claim to have engaged this season the strongest acting com pany over secured to present the great play of Uncle Tom's Cabin. By dis pensing with the customary street parade and by tho employment of only actors and actresses of ability they have been enabled to present for the first time in th.j history of the drama a cast capable of giving a correct and ac ceptnble production. From Uncle Tom down to the most insignificant role, the characters are in the hands of artists. The company makes a feature of its daily band concerts but there is no street parade the performance being given in the theatre and not on the streets. Emporium Opera House, Monday evening, Dec. 14. When to Stop Advertising. An English journal requested a num ber of its largest advertisers to give their opinion concerning the best time to stop advertising and the following replies were received: "When the population ceases to multiply and the generations that crowd on after you and never heard of you stop coming on." "When you have convinced every body whose life will touch yours that you have better goods and lower prices than they can get anywhere else." "When you stop making fortunes solely through the direct use of the mighty agent." "When you forget the words of tho shrewdest and most successful men concerning the main causes of their prosperity." "When younger and fresher houses in your line cease starting up and us ing the trade journals in telling peo ple how much better they can do for them than you can " "When you would rather have your own way and fail than take advice and win."

During the present year it is to be hoped that the Humane Society of Em porium, as well as the county, will re ceive the cordial substantial support that it deserves, and that the justices before whom are brought violators of the laws framed to protect poor beasts against man's cruelty will punish them with something more severe than a re primand. Ordinances ara being en acted in many boroughs imposing severe penalties on violators. Gone to California.

[Advertisement.) An Open Letter. Citizens of Cameron county, I want you to take notice of this item. We had license court on the 17th day of December. I putin my petition for license according to requirements of law and was refused, but I can not see why I was refused. I think I ought to be entitled to license. I am the oldest hotel keeper here; all the other hotels have changed hands several times. I have had license here for the last twenty-one years. I became a citizen of the United States thirty-six years ago and have been a good law abiding citizen. I do not think any one can say anything wrong about mc and I do not think there is anything fair about this deal. I have worked hard for what little I have, and every dollar I made is invest ed in Emporium which every one can see, and still I am investing. I pay the largest individual tax of Cameron county in dollars. It would be no mere then right that the citizens should uphold me. s I am disabled, having only one arm I can not do manual labor. I lost my wife over three years ago and I was left with five children. Three are little girls, going to St. Marys Academy, and these I have to take care of. I am under a big expense. It is claimed there was too many licenses in Emporium. If BO why was not the license taken away from some of the younger hotel men instead of the oldest man in town, No matter what church came to me for help I always helped them. I ask the citizens of Cameron coun ty whether this was a fair deal. JOHN COSTELLO. East Emporium, Pa., Dec. 31, 1906. A 1907 Diary, Memorandum and Account Book for Two Cents.
