Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way t > cuie deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out ot ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion 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.

BILL INTRODUCED
TO STOP TREATING
HARRISBURG, Jan. 28.
A bill to stop treating in any places
where vinous, malt or spirituous liqu
ors aio sold was . introduced iu the
house this morning by Mr. Thomas.of
Bucks. It provides that tho proprietor
of any placo of this kind who allows
treating shall be guilty of a misdeme
anor aud shall be subject to a fine of
SIOO aud imprisonment of sixty days.
Tho act defiues "treating" thus: "To
bo 'the practico of invitiug one or
more persous to driuk any malt, vin
ous or spirituous liquors as a compli
ment or as a civility, often in return
for the like favor shown."
The old scheme to erect a new coun
ty iu the upper part of tho State aud
iwako Hazletou the seat thereof—it was
once designed to do this and name the
new couuty Quay county—came up
again this morning Mr. Boyle, of
Luzerne.presented a bill providing for
the erection aud organization of new
couuties out of parts of two adjoining
counties.
Mr. Flack, of Bucks, introduced a
bill to provide that townships which
have abolished the work tax shall get
more money from the State. Under an
act of April 12, 11)05, townships, by a
majority vote of tho electors, can ab
olish the work tax; any which do so
are to receive annually from the State
a sum equivalent to fifteen per cent,
of the amount of road tax collected iu
such towuships. Tho bill read by Mr.
Flack this morning amends the second
section of that act so that such town
ships shall receivo fifty per cent, of
the total collection.
The house today passed finally these
two bills, the first of the session :
Enlarging tho powers of county com
missiouers to erect county bridges aud
empowering them to coustruct new
bridges when existing ones are not
sufficient, to accommodate traffic.
Amending the act of March 20,1903,
empowering cities to condemn laud
tor certaiu purposes so that land may
ho condemned for workhouses, poor
houses aud garbage disposal plants.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
Bulletin.
THE S2O OPEN HILEAGE f»C KET -
On September 1, 1906, the Pennsylvania Railroad !
placed on saio at S2O each one-thousand-niile tickets, good for one '
year, and good for the passage of the holder, and any number of
other persons within mileage limit of ticket, on any of tho lines of
tho Company oast of Pittsburg and Buffalo. This ticket has proved
so popular that it has been almost impossible to print them fast
enough to meet the demand, about 200,000 having been distributed j
at this time.
For business houses which keep a force on the road or which
find it necessary to send men out frequently, the ticket is especially
attractive, as it is good in tho hands of any one at any time and for
as many as it may bo desirable to use it.
Merchants, manufacturers, buisness men, and others who
make frequent trips to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Pittsburgh, Butialo, and other cities have also found it a i
very convenient ticket. It is available at any moment, not only for
the business man himself, but for any one whom ho mav desire to
send, and for the members of his family.
In fact, it is a convenient and desirable form of transportation
for every one, for by its use a two-oent-a-mile rate is obtained for
one-way trips and in many casess a considerable reduction is gained
in tho excursion rates.
Mileage Tickets are on sale at all Ticket Offices.

The outlook was distinctly unprom
ising. One circumstance In partlculai
gloomed Kendall's mind. Fool-like, ha
had allowed himself to be drawn into
a sort of halfway matrimonial scheme
of his cousin Kitty and was even
now hurrying along as fast as steam
could carry him to the second fatal
step toward Its consummation. The
first had been taken when he driftod
Into the correspondence with the girl, a
correspondence which had quickly run
through all t' e successive stages till
now It stood upon a decidedly senti
mental footing.
Kendall occupied himself alternately
by studying the flying landscape and
the photograph of his latest Inamorata.
She was good looking enough In all
sense, but for some perverse reason of
the hour he chose to resent her rich
dark beauty with passionate defiance.
Somehow auotlier face, sweeter than a
flower, star eyed, framed In a cloud of
misty goid hair, kept coming In be
tween with maddening Insistence, bit
ter memory of his disappointment
wringing his heart as he had never
thought it could be wrung again. An
unwonted tear caught in his eye. He
dashed It away In some rage at him
self and thene v * instant was poring
attentively over an inverted newspa
per article.
Preseutly came the first call for din
ner, and Kendall rose with alacrity,
making his way to the dining car
ahead. Anything to give relief from
his present gloomy thoughts. Every
table hut one was occupied, and he
took his seat gratefully, dashing off an
elaborate order in an utterly preoccu
pled fashion. Then he gave his atten
tion to the dingy train of freight cars
whining monotonously past and the
shadowy chain of mountains, rearing
themselves like solemn green cones In
the distance. Presently a driving rain
set In, adding, if possible, to his des
perate frame of mind.
. After awhile Kendall became con
scious of some one taking the chair
"HEItE AIIE THE COPIES OP ROME TELE
GRAMS. HEAD TIIEM."
opposite him, and he held his eyes
stiflly averted, because he was also
subtly cognizant of the fact that It
was a tailor made young lady, with
sunny curls and an exquisitely modu
lated voice as she addressed the
waiter.
After several embarrassed moments
permitted himself a surreptitious
toward his vis-a-vls. Her face
was averted* but there was no mistak
ing the pi\ n k oval cheek, with its
sweet, familiar curve; the golden mass
of cobweb hair, the scarlet, tremulous
lips.
The girl turned swiftly under the
spell of his eyes, a river of crimson
running from throat to brow. But
i suddenly she stiffened, and the color
| forsook her face.
| Kendall was looking at her very ear-
I nestly, very pleadingly. The quarrel
had been terribly bitter, but the after
math was much more bitter. There
had been only six months of that, and
a lifetime stretched drab before them.
"Marjorle!" lie leaned half across
the table, his glance full of passionate
appeal, lie seemed to have forgotten
altogether that half a year ago they
had parted for good and all, with the
promise never to speak to one another
again.
The girl accepted his eyes for a sec
ond. Then her lashes flickered and
fell. Iler lips were held taut to fon
ceal their trembling, and her breath
was coming In little Jerks. But she j
controlled herself quickly, and when j
she looked up again her expression j
was quite calm, whatever It may hare 1
indexed.
"Personalities," she forced herself to ]
say, "will have to be avoided, Dick. )
We settled all that long ago, did wo
not?"
Iler words had a final ring, and Ken
dall felt himself going white under
the stab of them. Could it be possible,
after all past asseverations, that she
had ceased to care so entirely? Surely
she could never have suffered as he
had done the past six months and sit
facing him now with so cool a de
men nor. He was on the point of
speaking when the waiter reappeared.
Marjorle welcomed his coming with
GRAVEL CURED
(Philadelphia, Penn.,ltem.)
A healthier, heartier, happier man thnn
John J. Neill, of 2137 North Bth St., Phila
delphia, could not be found in a day's search.
Tho fact that he is still alive? is a constant
wonder to his friends.
Several years ago he began to suffer in
describable miseries from stone in the blad
der. An eminent physician in Philadelphia
told him that a surgical operation was nec
essary. So much did ho dread the result,
for if unsuccessful it meant death, that he
put off the evil day as long as possible.
While in this frame of mind, he heard of
DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY
Although disheartened, he bought a bottle
of it, and within a month had experienced
beneficial results, and before he had finished i
tho third bottle, the gravel was completely '
dissolved and his sufferings at an end.
Mr. Neill feels that he owes a lasting debt
of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy's Favorite |
Remedy, made at Rondout, N. Y., and fordis
orders of tho bladder and urinary orgaiiH. Ho
savs: "it will effect a cure if one is possiblo."
Favorite Remedy is prescribed with un

a tremendous sensation of relief. Sell
control was fast jotting away from
her. Slle raised a glass of water to her
lips and drained It feverishly. Ken
dall noted that her fingers were shak
ing, and his heart gave a sudden throb.
Perhaps, after all, her coldness was
mere assumption. lie sought her
glance eagerly, but It was frigidly
withheld.
After a trying silence Marjorle took
up her knife and fork and tried vainly
to eat. The food stuck In her throat.
Kendall finished his dinner mechan
ically.
"Marjorle," he broke out abruptly,
"don't, for heaven's sake, treat me tills
way! C annot we be at least friendly»
Will yon answer one question?"
The girl lost color again, though she
met his eyes openly, almost problngly.
"Certainly," she said after a little.
"Am I, then, utterly odious to you?"
She winced, and her snowy chin lift
ed itself Imperceptibly, but unmistak
ably.
"I hardly think the occasion or the
circumstances warrant that," she an
swered, the shadows deepening In her
eyes.
Kendall's heart gave a great lurcji.
Had she heard? lie would be frank
with her anyway.
"If you mean the circumstances sur
rounding our—disagreement," he said,
"decidedly they do."
She made no answer, but the hurt
look in her eyes told him the truth,
and ho hurried on eagerly:
"Marjorle, will you listen to my side
of It? Listen! I was desperate—crazy
—when I thought I had lost you. I
threw myself into anj'thing— every
thing— all sorts of things—as a means
of getting a little relief from the eat
ing misery of it all. Before I knew It
I found myself mixed up In this silly
business. But I swear to you on my
word as a man that there Is no ques
tion of honor Involved. The whole
thing, believe me, Is nine parts Jest.
With a little it might be made serious,
fcut, thank heaven, no fatal words have
been spoken."
"But she believes"—
"Not at all. She has no right. She
does not. I know it. Dear, you have
always been good and wise and lib
eral. Don't let this nonsensical thing
eoino between us now. You will not?"
Again he leaned toward her with pas
sionate vehenienco, and his fingers
eaught hers and held them hard, his
tjcu burning into hers.
When he finished speaking Marjorle
wne looking into his face wistfully, al
most sadly.
*1 am sorry, Dick," she said, "but it
)• all too late. I sail from New York
Frldsy as companion to an invalid
lady. My father lost everything, and
| I accented the engagement last mootb.
I It Is serious, you see."
I Kendall smiled. "There are degrees
I seriousness, Miss Dereforth, are
fbefe not?"
' ftbe shook her head, still grave, but
bis eyes only brightened. He had the
felns now, and he Was resolved upon
i the herdU course.
| "Will you be good enough to give
1 me the lady's address?" he asked,
i Wondering, Marjorle drew from her
j bag a slip of paper and passed It over
! to him.
j At the next station Kendall left the
car for a few moments, and the girl
| went back into her sleeper, where she
sat waiting with vivid cheeks, a smile
In her eyes and a swiftly beating
heart In her bosom.
Ten minutes later Kendall came In,
flourishing three ominous yellow sheets
of paper In his hand. He held them
out to her.
"Here are the copies of some tele
grams," he said. "Head them."
