WAR SCARE PASSING
Austrlans Prevent Shipments nt Bor
der and War Cloud In Paxiing.
Three Months for Stealing an Apple.
La Grande Peculiar freaks in
Justice were exemplified in one In
stance here in which an illiterate
Austrian was the victim. Through
the apparent oversight on the part of
a Justice of the peace in Elgin, this
Austrian was held in the county
jail for nearly three months on a
charge of stealing an apple. The in
dictment which caused his arrest In
Elgin three months ago specified that
he stole the one apple, and the Jus
tice of the peace bound him over to
Belgrade, Oct. 11. After a secret
session lasting for more than 24
hours, the Narodna-Skuptschlna, or
National Assembly, adjourned this
evening without having arrived at
any definite decision with regard to
its action against Austria-Hungary.
According to the most reliable in
formation no vote was taken on the
question at issue. Tho meoting was
very stormy and was interrupted by
various recesses. War was demanded
with Austria-Hungary, but the load
ers of the war faction cooled down
after Foreign Minister Mllovanovlcs
had made a lengthy statement, in
which he explained that one reason
why hostilities were Impossible was
the scarcity of ammunition for the
new batteries, which is now being
transported here, but has been de
tained In Aunstrian lines.
Thus for the moment the danger
point in the Balkan crisis is passed,
and Servia is expected to content her
self by instituting a boycott against
Anstro-Hungaiian commerce in the
way of revenge.

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is on
ly one way to cure deafness, and that In by
constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an Inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When t his
tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed, eafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken outand this tube
restored to Its normal condittoo, bearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ot
ten are caused by Catarrh, which 1 nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous aur
