Deafnesa Can's be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the 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 inflamed you have rumbling eound or im- perfect hearing. and WI en it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the resr t, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi ion, hearing will be destroy ed forever. Nine Ca es 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.

Learn to Swim.

There is no need to descant upon the manifold attractions and uses of swim ming. All proper precautions for safe ty should be taken, but your boy should learn to swim. Never let him go into the water unless he is well; neither let him go alone nor with flighty boys only, even when he has mastered the art of natation cramps and acci- dents of all sorts are too common for that. Keep him away from rapids and -whirlpools, and impress upon him at every opportunity by anecdote, precept and example the necessity of exercising prudence in the matter. Especially see that he is familiar with remedies for cramps and with the modes of re- viving the drowned. Many a life has been lost because boys companions did not understand how to use proper restoratives when his body was first re- covered from the water.-Harpers Bar gar.

NOT UP TO THE LETTER.

A Singular Sentence of Pennsylvania
Judge Only Partly Complied with.
HUNTINGDON, Pa, March II. - The
unique sentence of Judge Kelly, requir-
ing Samuel Poschman to board with his
best neighbor ana sleep in his barn, and
his wife, who was accused of flirting
with II drummer, to lock herself up in
his house for period of six days and
admit no strangers, has been carried out
to the letter, except so far as the defend
ant husband is concerned.
1t has been learned from his neighbors
that Mr.. Poschman did not comply with
the sentence so far as the sleeping in the
larn is concerned, but that his consid-
crate neighbor, Mr. Rogers, with whom
he boarded, gave him a comfortable
room III his house. Since the sentence
of each has expired Mr.. and Mrs. Posch-
man have come together, and from all
appearances have amicably adjusted
their marital difficulties.
Mrs. Poschman said that she regretted
the step she took in having her husband
arraigned for assault and battery. and
that she has learned a valuable lesson in
domestic economy and propriety. She
does not deny that she was greatly in
fueuced by the travelling Scranton man,
but she now asserts that his influence
over her is of no avail and that she will
devote ler lite to the comfort of her hns~
band and children,

Novel Plan for Quick Transit Proposed
for Large Cities With Crowded streets.
CHICAGO, March t1.-Thc Daily News
publishes a novel plan for street transit
i'll large cities. The scheme is, in brief,
an er-the-sidewalk cable road to lie
run ncrth, south and west from cen
tral point in the heart of the city. 1t is
declared that a company of wealthy
capitalists stand prepared with their
money and their influence to execute
the novel plan of underground transpor-
tation, which, they declare, is entirely
practicable. 1t is claimed that thor
oughly competent engineers have pre-
sented reports after long and careful in
vestigation and surveys, declaring the
pro ect feasible
The plan contemplates running out on
one side of a street and returning on the
other side. The style of caIs will be
similar to the present cable cars, and
the whole underground roadway, in
cluding the cars, will be lighted with
electricity. Stations will be arranged
at the corner of intersecting streets, in
Easements of large buildings The pro-
jectors claim for their plan the advan-
tages of high rate Of speed, not posi-
ble ON the surface, no danger to passen-
sengers or pedestrians and great relief
to the Overcrowded streets by the re-
mOyal Of the enormous passenger traffic
now conducted, and which is constantly

Opposite New Orleans.

Opposite New Orleans.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The report
of the commission appointed to select
site for dry dock ON the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico has been made public.
The points visited by the commission
We're Key West, Tampa, Pensacola, Mo-
bile, Port Eads, New Orleans, Calves

The commission say that the South
Pass of the Mississippi affords the only
entrance twenty-six feet deep to har-
Eor far enough from the sea to be safe
from gun fire. On the shore of the
river the primary requisites for asite
are found
The bank of the river on the Algiers
side from the Southern Pacific railroad
ferry downward 1000, or 5000 feet is
also clear and clean. and has remained
so for years, and here is the naval res
cryaton OF which the Mississippi river
commission says the bank at Algiers is
permanent, and will doubtless remain so
for fifty or more years. Accordingly
the present commission selected the site
ne .t adjoining the property of the rail
road company. The owners AMI prices
IF the property are described as follows:
C.. c. Live Stock company, $50 900;
Oliver estate, 100000 and the re-
mainder belongs to the government,
having been purchased for naval pur-
poses.

CHICAGO, March 11.-There has been
more sickness and mortality throughout
the western stutes during the present
winter than ever before in the history
of the country. Even the record which
was made year ago by la grippe has
been surpassed, and from every quarter
come reports that bronchitis, pneumo-
mia, diphtheria and typhoid fever are
prostrating their victims by the tens of
thousands In this city the mortality
rate has shown large increase during
the past six weeks, and the majority of
the members of the medical fraternity
say that they are nearly worked to
death. Nearly every day brings an an
nouncement that some prominent man
has been stricken down, while the cases
of people of less prominence, and who
do not figure in the newspaI ers, are
legion.
The police force, the departments of
the worlds fair, the newspaper statfs
and numbers of institutions employing
considerable help are all more or less
affected. Diphtheria has been raging
in Milwaukee, and special precautions
have been found necessary by the health
authorities to prevent it from becoming
epidemic, A private letter from Colo
RADIO says that the sickness and mortal
ity in that state since last November has
been without precedent. A dispatch
from Butte City, Mont, says that last
week the average number of deaths
from pneumonia was thirty day, and
that there are no signs that the violence
Of the epidemic is subsiding. Reports
of the same tenor come from nearly all
of the western and northwestern states
With the exception of typhoid, the re
turns note an almost absence of fever,
and a very large proportion of the sick
ness and mortality is due to climatic
conditions and changes
