Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube gets lnflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Cata1rh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.

COUNTY EXPENSES.

We publish in another column Of
the CAPITAL a full and complete
statement of the county expenses,
which should be carefully read BY
every taxpayer. Il is the FIRST
statement, outside Of the county
levy, ever published, giving such
data Of the financial condition Of
our county. The Maryland Repub.
Hcan, Democrat, referring to the
statement says
II is, when closely examined favor
able exhibit. 1t shows that the county
roads cost the county, In the year
1855 1889, So, 370 .I6, but little more
than one-half the amount spent DUR
ing the previous year.
True, the levy In advance for 1889
1890 is only SIC, 390.56. But the levy
IN advance is never expected to COM
plete the road fund. II has been
the practice heretofore to levy only
part of the amount necessary to
be expended upon the roads. In 1856
only 81, 400 was levied in advance.
whereas, the amount of $l6s006.37
was expended during the year. In
1887, only $8,400 was levied il adj
vance, but the entire sum expended
amounted to S., 264.28. In 1888,
the levy in advance was ST., 900, with
$10,432.a0 actually expended. The
present levy of $4,000 is therefore
IN harmony with the established
usage, and will probably cover q
large per cent. OF the amount ac-
tnally required for the use OF the
public roads.
In other matters the report is graft
flying. The fact stands forth in un-
mistakable figures that the taxes
have been largely reduced by the
good management of the present
board, and that all back indebted
ness is provided for, with exception
Of the balance of s., 230.35.

FELL FIFTY FEET.
Miss Belle Fleming is Hurled over
Preeipice by RunawaT Horse.

An occurrence serious in its con
sequences, but which barely escaped
being fatal, took place on the bill
leading to lees Ferry on Sunday
last. Miss Belle Fleming and her
brother, Bert, were on their way
to attend Childrcn's Day exercises
at Zion church. There were a num-
Der Of people on the road that day
and the horse became excited, and
on going down the hill INDUCED in
a runaway. There is high preci
pice on the right side and the horse
had not proceeded far on his mad
run before horse, buggy and occupants
were precipitated over the high EN-
bankment, the lady going down a
distance of 90 feet, sustaining SER
ious.cuts and bruises. The horse fell
the same distance, but miraculous
as it is was uninjured. Bert was
lucky in being safely caught in the
thick laurel which lines the road,
and he too, was not hurt other than
receiving severe shaking up. Mr..
Hackney, who was near, soon rush
ed to the assistance of the young
lady, and though her pains were
hard to bear she regained her feet
and waited till the rig was again
ready for locomotion. Her injuries
began to tell ON her next day and
she is yet considerably under the
weather There is a very fortunate
side to the affair. Under ordinary
circumstances fall of that kind
would be fatal, but by some good
fortune Miss Fleming escaped with
the injuries mentioned.

The Room is On.

You have all noticed the increased
activity in the business circles of
this place in the last few weeks,
haven't you? You know business is
better, but most of you in converse
tion say the oil business has not ma
terially prospered the town that you
can see and that the prospect is not
so very fattering for it ever to do So.
Now persons who talk chat way need
simply to be enlightened and it is
the duty of all to show exactly
wherein lies the boom that is making
business brisk. The introduction
of a water works system brings a
great deal of new capital to town
and distributed among the workmen.
The large investments made in the
county in the oil business makes
a greater portion of it shift to
this point and and the bust
ness is done in our banks. 1t is
simply true that new men, new capt.
tai and new business have made
their ingress into our midst and are
the nucleus of that business pros
perity that is to place Morgantown
a seat of industry and commerce
the forerunner in the transition from
baclwoods to prominence which we
are rapidly gaining.
The change has made itself mani
fest. No one is there but sees and feels
the different conditions existing now.
But this is only start. The real
development is to follow. While the
development progresses let each resi-
dent put his shoulder to the wheel
and lend some assistance. All can
lend something.

The Game Is a Sure Go.

WHY They Get Sick.

For several weeks the town has
been overrun with the employees of
the Union Improvement Company
digging up the streets and placing
the mains for the water works. The
trenches have been dug, the mains
placed and the earth returned to the
trenches. The fresh earth and loose
stones scattered up the surface
make the town look the worse of the
wear, but the neat fire plugs at the
principal street corners are marks of
improvement.
There is an important matter to
which the attention of our people,
and especially of the city authori-
ties, ought to be called to and that
is, now that we have water works,
what's to become of the waste water?
The water when brought to the town
will not be consumed. 1t will serve
the purpose for which it is brought
and will then be cast away. And
the question is where will it be cast?
Not only will the water be cast away
DuI Will IL Iuc ultu vi Juc NnOlc
town. 1t will wash away with it the
dirt from our persons, from our kitch
ems, and from our outhouses All
manner of filth and dirt will be taken
up by the water and carried with it
withersoever it shall go. And
the question is whittier shall it
go. Shall it be simply turned out
within the borders Of the town and
deposit annually acres of filth on the
surface of the ground to sicken the
people with stencil. or will sewerage
be provided to carry all this filth
away to the waste places where it
will not breed fever and sickness?
How is the necessary sewerage to be
had? These are questions demand
ing immediate attention and prompt
action. 1t is well known that indi-
vidual enterprise will not afford the
necessary remedy in such case. The
town authorities are the proper per-
sons to take hold of the matter and
then the work will be done system
atically and thoroughly. 1t is a
matter Of too much Importance to be
delayed on any account,
