SENATOR BUTT IN JAIL
Festus Orestus Butt Jailed for Con
tempt of Court In Refusal ^to
Answer Questions.
State Senator Festus Orestus
Butt of Carroll county spent
Thursday night in the Pulaski
county jail, to which he was
committed Thursday afternoon
by Judge R. J. Lea of the cir
cuit court, first division, of Pu
laski county, for contempt of
court in refusing to answer cer
tain questions propounded to him
by the Pulaski county grand jury
now in session and investigating,
among other things, charges of
boodling in the last legislature.
Butt Must Answer.
Little Rock, March 15.—In a
decision rendered by Judge Lea,
directing that Senator F. 0. Butt
shall answer the questions put to
him before the Grand Jury by
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton,
the state won one of the most
important points that has been
raised since the boodle investi
gation was begun by Mr. Rhoton
nearly a year ago.
Judge Lea’s decision is that
Senator Butt must answer any
questions put to him which would
tend to incriminate some one
else, even if they tend also to in
criminate him, but he holds that
Senator Butt is protected by the
state statute which provides that
in such cases the answers given
by the witness shall in no in
stance be used against him in
any criminal prosecution for the
same offense.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
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. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
| condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can he
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
I will be destroyed forever; nine
I cases out of ten are caused by
(Catarrh, which is nothing but an
! inflamed condition of the mucous
(surfaces.

| Dollars for any case of Deafness
j (caused by catarrh) that cannot
j be c ;red by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
