CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Catarrhal Dsafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded BY
reputable physicians as injurious, A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on

TIE HALIFAX AMBUSHERS.
Danviiie Preparing to Protect Them From
Lynching.

DASyIILF. VA. NOyemberS.- Special. r.
There continues 10 be- considerable excite
ment about the Halifax negroes now con
fined i'm the iail Of this city, charged with
shooting from ambush on Tuesday Messrs.
Noblin and Chappell. The negroes were
brought here for safe keeping, a. IL was
feared they might be lynched If they re-
mained I'm Halifax county. and now come
all sorts Of rumors that an armed force VIII
come here from Halifax 10 secure ana lynch
the men.
Danyillc has no particular objection TO
Halifax county lynching her outlaws, pro
yided she does 80 i'm her own borders. but
when they are sent here for protection. ana
are taken in good faith Danyille don't pro
pose to have the stigma Of lynch law iaid
al her door. Therefore the determination
is 10 protect fhe Jail against any attack al
all hazards. The jail was guarded last
night by the two local military companies,
and will he 50 guarded again tonight. In
additional, an extra police force has been
sworn in.
CITY Sergeant Boisseau to-day received
notice that a body Of two hundred HalitaN
men would probably reach the city tonight
between II o'clock and daylight for the
purpose Of taking the prisoners, ana hence
the extra precautionary steps which are
being taken. Ii is believed that whos
Halifax people ascertain that Danyille
intends TO protect her Jail. they viii not
make any effort TO take the prisoners by
force. Some how the impression has gone
out that only nominal resistance Will be
made. and il is thought when the would-be
lynchers reach here tonight, if they come
and find their error. they will give up the
Job. The Mayor and all other city officials
are determined to maintain the law.
THE PRISONERS TAKEN TO LNNCHBURG.
Officers arrived here tonight and took the
prisoners TO LyHchburg for safe keeping.
If the Halifax lynchers want them. they
will find them in the Hill city.
