VIII Paw Miners by the Day.

SPRINGFIELD, III, May Gothic OPP
orators of the various coal mines in
this district held a meeting in
this city and resolved that when
work is resumed they will pay
miners by the day instead of
by the ton, as heretofore. This
action is brought about by the
probability of the passage of what
is known as the ''gross-weight bill" by
the general assembly. which the oper-
ators contend will work an injustice to
them, as it will give dishonest and in-
competent miners undue advantage
over the better class of miners and their
EMPLOYERS

Limits of Peshtigo.
A party of boys found complete
human skeleton within the village
limits Of Peshtigo. A silver watch,
some money and a clay pipe were found

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they capnot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
eau sed by infamed condition Of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have Ium-
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation Can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by cstarrb, which is nothing but an in
