Der. The vote was unanimous.
THE acceptance by England of the
invitation of the United States to take
part in an international conference on
the silver question will, it is believed
at Washington, carry the other united
nations with it and assure the success
of the movement. All the prominent
nations of Europe have been invited to
take part in the conference and ii is un-
derstood that favorable responses have
been received not only from England,
but from Italy and Austria-Hungary as
well. The acceptance by Italy is con-
sidered as specially important because
of its pre-eminence in the Latin union.
THE republican congressional cam
paign committee has been organized by
the election of Senator Anthony Hig-
gins, of Delaware, as chairman, John l..

chusetts, and Cheatham, of North
Carolina. Edward Mcpherson, of
Pennsylvania, was elected secretary of
the committee.

master general after receiving the ap-
plications and examining the facts.
Congressman and other federal officials

The Gums Are Baromcters of Health.

Two drops of camphor on your tooth
brush will give your mouth the fresh
est, cleanest feeling imaginable, will
make your gums rosy and absolutely
prevent anything like cold sores or af-
fections of your tongue. The gums. by
the way, are barometers of our coudi-
tion. If they are clear, bright red we
are in good health, while if our blood is
thin and wanting in the little red cor
pusclos that make us healthy, the gums
will be pale pink. or if we are in a
very bad way indeed, and much in need
of a course of dialized iron. they will
be almost white.-N. y. Press.

Can be counted Oi

Can be counted on
to cure Catarrh-Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's nothing new. For
25 years it has been doing that very
thing. 1t gives prompt and COM
plete relief-but you want more
than that. And you get it, with
this Remedy-there's a cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties. "Cold in the Head "
needs but few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all the
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.
You can count on something else,
too-SjOO in cash.
You can count on it, but it's
more than doubtful whether you
earn it.
The proprietors of DR.. Sage's
Remedy, in good faith, offer that
amount for an incurablc case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That's
Just about as certain, too.
Can you ask more?

Deafness Cannot 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 constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have arumbling
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 it's normal cOndi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflaned condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE exact cause of the terrible ex

Wash, in which forty-eight men per-
ished, will probably never be known. as
it is now certain that every man in the

conclusion is that a miner struck a gas
