Jones Will Fight Flower.


 BINGHAMToN, N. Y., Sept. 1S.-Lieu- tenant Governor Jones has furnished the following for the press: "Being request ed by the press to announce my intentions relating to the nominations of the Sara toga convention would say that my po- litical action has always been controlled by my sense of duty as citizen, never re- cognizing conflicting party obligations.
 Believing, in this instance, that not only have the interests of the people been sacrificed but the existence of the Demo- cratic party jeopardized, for behind the nominations and in absolute control of the party are men whose every sentiment of patriotism is subject either to their per sonal ambition or their selfish greed, and the administration of public affairs IS shaped to perpetuate their rule.
 Temporary Defeat Preferable.
 ''So complete is the power of these men, and so dictatorial have they become, that members of the party are but serfs so far as political action is concerned. Continued subservience but makes the condition too degrading to be quietly borne by American citizens. There is but one way to dislodge these usurpers. The temporary defeat of the party will be harmless compared with the effects of their control.
 "For the welfare of the state and in the interest of the Democratic party, to me my duty appears clear, which is to oppose the election of the nominee of the Saratoga convention to such an extent as may be within my power and in such manner as may seem best to accomplish that purpose
 EDWARD F. JONES'"
 MT. Jones declines to specify just what action he will take in the matter.

There seems to be fire bug in Shef- field. Last Saturday night Charles B. Hadsell's barns, situated about two miles east of the village, were totally destroy ed by fire. The fire broke out in ore building and as efforts were being made to put it out an explosion took place in another barn not far distant. All of Mir Hadsell's grain crops together with a large crop of tobacco were consumed.
 Last Tuesday evening the barns be- longing to the estate of the late Leonard Futile. situated in Q vacant field about one and one-half miles east of the viii lage, were burned to the ground
 Both fires were evidently incendiary and the farmers are anxious to trace them to their origin.

Deafness Can't be Cured

D681h4BH Cam'g U0 CuTDU bv local applications, as they cannot reach t. @ diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets flamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless 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 inflamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

In the method of doing Piano business.
 No Agents employed.
 No Boring for trade.
 No peddling Pianos around the country. Tie following ex- tract from a letter published in the Musical Courier illustrates: Another hindrance to the legitimate trade is that unmitigated nuisance, tle piano ped dler, who goes from house to house boring for trade. AS a rule he is unmusiCal, un- truthful, Irresponsible and seemingly ire pressihle. Such miserable traps have in this maoner have been forced upon the people, and such ridiculous statements made regard ing the tone construction and price of stand ard goods, that the confidence of many people f1rst-class instruments is business hardly worth followin~.
 If the manu1acturers of standard instru- ments would place their goods only in the them, and have honor enough to represent them truthfully, with the added request that they employ no peddlers, confidence might be re-established.
 With years of experience as Pianist and teacher of Piano, I am able to make good selection of instruments. The Public is earnestly requested to visit my rooms and examine my instruments. PIANOS, ORGANS, VIOLINS,
