Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is 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 restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, ■which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. . Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of catarrh deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. At all druggists, 75c. —F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

the county farm, was next called. Said he had no reports made to commissioners, that they were at auditor’s office, thought he had copy of them at home. Witness was excused until reports could be obtained. Recalled with reports and identified them. Report for quarter ending November 30, 1911 gave 2,000 bushels of corn on hand, and no sales. Report for quarter ending February 28, 1915, gave 1,500 bushels of corn on hand, and no sales. Itepo'rt for quarter ending May 31, 1915, gave 1,200 bushels of corn on hand, and no sales. Report for quarter ending August 31, 1915, gave 1,000 bushels of corn on hand, with sales of 190 bushels and thirty pounds of corn during that quarter. Report for quarter ending November 30. 1915, gave 3,000 bushels of corn on hand, with sales of 377 bushels and sixty-two pounds during that quarter. The number of bushels of corn on hand at the various times above stated were given as evidence from the superintendent’s reports to the board of commissioners at the ends of the various quarters, but the amounts of corn sold were taken from the same reports by The Democrat at a different time. When asked as to the corn raised on the county farm witness stated that 1,567 bushels were raised in 1914 and 3,000 bushel? in 1915, the latter amount being all included in the corn reported on hand November 30, 1915. Witness also stated that he did not know exactly how much corn' was on hand at any time except after husking—that he knew exactly then—but that other times he made an estimate of the amount in the cribs.

John Suika was then recalled and with Joseph Lane acting as interpreter testified that it was in 1914 when he was hauling corn and had trouble with endgate west of county fa r m; that a man—whom he later identified in John Garland —came along with a four-horse team and helped him fix it. He could not remember the month of this hauling, but said he hauled two loads on Thursday, two loads Friday, three loads Saturday and three loads Monday, and he was sure it whs on Monday when the trouble with the endgate occurred. The attorneys for the state then called several witnesses to testify to the character of the defendant. The first of these was Garland Grant, who stated that he had lived a mile and a half west of Rensselaer all his life and was acquainted with the defendant. Asked what was Morlan’s reputation for truth and veracity, he replied that among his neighbors it was bad. On cross-examination by attorneys for the defense witness stated that he had never had any trouble with defendant-other than a little trouble between Morlan and all the neighbors during threshing. Pressed for an answer as to who had had trouble with Morlan, witness replied that everybody along the road. Witness for further pressed to state expressly who had said the reputation of defendant was not good, and he mentioned the names Lawrence and Wallace Saylor, Ed Grant, Sam Kershner and William Augspurger. Said it had been the talk for seven or. eight years. Asked as to what had been said, he replied that neighbors said “What Morlan said was not to be depended on.” Henry Paulus wras the next witness called and stated that he had lived southwest of Rensselaer five years next spring; that he was ac-

quainted with Morlan and his reputation was not very good. Witness said -the defendant was quarrelsome and could not get along with his neighbors; had never had any dealings with him and could not remember any .specific statement made by any particular person against defendant.

Henry Hordeman was the next called and in reply to the question concerning Morlan’g reputation said, “It doesn’t seem to be good.” Asked who said it was not good, he replied, “The neigh oors say it is not good.” He could not recall any particular thing said b/ anyone.

Ed Goetz was the next witness called and stated that he was 35 years old and had lived within a half mile of defendant all his life until two years ago this coming spring, when he moved to Barkley township. Had known Morlan all his life and hig reputation was bad. Had heard much but could not mention any particular person as saying anything. Witness said he was a good friend of Makeover, that they had held political caucuses at his house and Mr. Morlan came uninvited. ■Charles Weiss was next called to the stand. Said lie lived in Newton township six miles from Rensselaer, and had lived there thirteen years. Had known Morlan several years. Asked about the defendant’s character he said, “Well, I’ve heard a good deal. It comes up bad a good deal here lately.” Heard he was not truthful. Had heard him discussed, and also heard of a shooting affair with William Augspurger several years ago. Could not state any specific remark by any one person.

John Zimmer was then recalled to the stand and stated that he was at Makeever’s on July 15, 1915. Had been there the day before also. He and Mr. Makeever had been to town and the latter had purchased a new cradle, and he went over the 15th to see the same used. Was there all forenoon. Was also there on the 16th of the same month, but could not tell when he was there next. Witness said he helped John Suika bind wheat and that Harold Wickstrom and Charles Otterburg were also there. He knew the date because he had gone to Warner Bros, hardware store to ascertain the date the cradle was purchased. Was over to Makeever’s week before last and the latter thought the date important so he went to Warner Bros, to make sure of it. D. S. Makeever was recalled to the stand and a part of his testimony was a repetition of what had been gone over before. In reply to a question he stated that Suika was plowing corn on July 7 and 8, 1915. He identified a check given to Alex Elijah for cattle and stated that on July 13 they had an early dinner and he and Pete Cooper left between 11 and 12 o’clock to get these cattle. Suika was mixing concrete when they left and was there when they returned about 4 o’clock. On July 12 the men were on the farm all day moving the feed troughs from one feed lot to another. On July 15 he testified that he and Mr. Zimmer came to town and be purchased a wheat cradle of Warner Bros. The day following the men were all in the wheat field. Witness testified that the team Suika had been working was in the
