SATISFACTORY The little gunboat Bogota, which left San Francisco, October 7 for Panama to sweep the seas of al enemies of the Colombian govern ment, has become the object of search of the United States men-of-war. A letter received vesterdav from an of- OPP PASSENCER DAPOT Panama on November 1G. states that the cruiser had just returned from a three day's search for the Bogota, which has been declared a pirate, and is much wanted by the new republic of Panama and the American war ships. When the new isthmian republic hoisted its flag November 5, the Bo gota, controlled by the Colombians, hastily weighed her anchor, and after firing upon the city put for the open sea with the Padilla, her estwhile enemy in the former rebellion in hot pursuit. The Padilla is not the equal of the Bogota and soon was distanced. The Bogota, according to the Bor- ton officers letter, was at last ac counts believed to be hovering some where in the vicinity of Panama Bay, for reports were receivsd at the isth mus that the vessel had captured two English merchant vessels. A reward of $50,000 for the the capture of the Bogota was immediately offered by the British government when news of this act of piracy was communicated to London by the British Consul. The gunboat is disowned by the Colombian government, which sees in her acts of piracy no end of trouble. It will .not belonnr in anr event he fore the Bogota wiil be obliged to put into some port for coal or supplies and her capture will be easily effected.

Justice Dugro of New York city will inspect tho left leg of Joseph Michaelis to determine whether its condition is such as to allow the coui fc to approve a verdict rendered by a juiy awarding Michaelis $1250 for injuries he alleges he re ceived while in the employ of Joseph Sterns & Sons, wholesale butchers .Michaelis sued for $15,000, alleging that he had fallen through a trapdoor into a vat used for reducing meat offal, and that the chemicals contain- ed in the vat had caused ulcers on his leg and made him lame. Dr. Wil- iam Moore, for the butchers, testi fied that in his opinion Michaelis' leg was simply dirty, and that a scrub bing brush and some green soap would work wonders. Accordingly, on the consent of counsel, the leu was washed, but a dispute arose af terward as to the results. Hints to Housewives.

Last Monday in Chicago at a min isterial meeting the following choice example of Chicago heart changers was brought before the meeting. "If the congregation of this decade per sists in their hobby of desiring a fop pish minister, the old-time pastor, who has been useful in years gone by, had better look for another job. His usefulness in saving souls from perdition is gone and he had better devote this talent in another voca tion," declared Rev. J. E. Taitor in an address today before the Congrega tional ministers. "The up-to-date minister, accord ing to fashionable church-goers of to day, is the pastor who has flaxen hair, neatly paiced in the middle. He must have blue eyes and a peach-like complexion. His attire must be up-to-date and if he is attractive and popular among the ladies of his church he is then a success," con tinued Mr. Taitor. President Diaz of Alcxico to Retire. you you you you you you want to buy a farm want furnished rooms want to buy a house want to rent a house want to build a house want to move a house then, it is stated, Diaz will resign in his favor. It is hinted that Limantour's re cent trip abroad was not solely for tho purpose of studying tho monetary qnestion, but was chiefly to ascertain tho feelings of the European powers as to his succession to the presidency The reason given for tho postponent of Gen. Diaz's resignation from tho presidency is that he wishes to test Limantour's capabilities, and ascer tain whether the power ho controls is sufficient to carry out a successful ad ministration. In addition to this. there are other powerful aspirants to presidential honors, notice ably, ben. Uernauo Keyes, ex-minis ter of war, and now governor of the state of Nuevo Leon. Gen. Reyes is. after President Diaz, the man most beloved by the army, and the reputed bitter enemy of Limantour. This really is the principal reason which keeps Diaz from resigning outright.

State S chool Superintendent WH- iam Fowler has declared in favor of ignoring the supreme court decision against Bible reading in the public schools of Nebraska on Monday. In answer today to queries from many aid the mandamus binds only the di rectors of the single district named in the pleadings and a new action will be required whenever it is desired invoke the decision in the Froman case. Another point maue ov iir. Fowler is that the teachers have a ight, under the working of the de cision written by Chief Justice Sulli van, to read the Bible as much as they please and to use it in the exer cise of the school so long as it is un accompanied with religious cere monies. The Republic of Panama proposes to be unique among the nations of the world by not only keeping out of debt but by having a good sized balance to draw interest and add to the reve nues. The Isthmian Government has decided, on the advice of the Com missioners who were sent to Washing ton, to invest in U. S. bonds $9,000,- 000 of the $10,003,000 which will be paid for the canal zone. The bonds will have to be bought in the open market. The remaining $1,000,000 will be placed in the treasury of Pan ama. Dr. Amador, Minister of Finance in the Provisional government an i probably destined to be the fi -it pr- ident of the Republic, estimates that charges will be $250,000 and that this, added to the customs and inter nal revenue receipts, will make the government self-sustaining from the start.

Preparations are being made in the city of Mexico for a change of presi dents, and this change will probably occur within the next few months. Porfirio Diaz, after occupying the presidential chair for over twenty five years, now feeling the weight of years upon him, is thinking about re tiring and letting his mantle fall up on the shoulders of his favorite, Jose Yves Limantour, minister of finance. The retirement of Gen. Diaz has been long expected by the citizens, as well as by the foreign residents of Mexico, and now it is veiy likely to occur. A semiofficial announcement lias been made that the president will, about the first of the year, make an extended tour of Europe, and will ' spend several months in the French , capital. This announcement is inter preted by those familiar with Mexi can political affairs as the absolute retirement of Gen Diaz. It has been repeatedly stated by those who are in a position to know that Diaz would go to Europe the commencement of next year, naming Limantour as acting president during his absence, and that he would remain abroad and obsei ve public feeling as to the administration of affairs under h:5 favorite's regime. Should Liman tour succeed in preserving peace and in holding the government together, Asiibcbnuam, Ont., April 18, 1933: I think it is only right that I should tell you what a wonderful effect Chanilxjr.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they canno reach tho deceased portion of tho ear, rhero is only ono way to cure deafness, and that is'by constitutional remedies.

When this tube is in (lamed you have a rumbliug sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, deafness is the result, and un less tho inflamation can bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will bo destroyed for ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of tho mucous services Wo will give Ono Hundred Dollors for any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot bo cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
