Deafness Can't 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 caEsed by an inAamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets intiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation

to Its normal condition, hearing will De

but there are many facts to show that
in that way they would make more
money than they do now.
1t now remains for the people to say
whether they prefer to keep up the
present system Of paying moneylenders
over 81, 200, 100000 year for precisely
the same accommodation that can be
obtained at cost. And it is not apparent
why money lenders cannot earn more
money by investing ia the industries of
the country, and taking the ordinary
risks Of business like any merchant or
manufacturer. than under the system Of
striving to take the cream Of other
peoples labor only, and assume no risk
while doing it.

A Sand Bag.

Cold weather is the season for ear
ache, and mothers with young children
who are subject to this affection will
find sand bag almost invaluable, as it
will hold the heat long time, and its
composition is such as to render it
easily adjustable to the affected part.
Make flannel bag ten inches square,
and fill il with fine. clean sand that has
been thoroughly dried in the oven.
Make cotton bag to draw on over
the flannel, as this will prevent the sand
from sitting GUS.
This sand bag will be found useful
in cases of toothache and facial neural
gia. Place it in an oven on plate to
heat it.

Use More Onions

1t is related of a country physician
that as he passed BY farm house be
remarked:
Il shall not have many calls from
here this year. The reason for this
remark was thrifty onion patch which
he saw in the side yard.
1t is true that onions are about the
most healthful vegetable that the house
wife can use. If it were not for tainting
the breath they would be more generally
used than they are. They are exceed
ingly easy of digestion and to this fact
part OF their medicinal virtue is due
They give the general oyertaxed
stomach rest digesting themselves and
absorbing offensive matters that previous
i'll health has left, which the digestive
organs we're unable to dispose Of. A
friend who has had long experience
tells US that he cured cold by eating
a very light dinner on onions cooked
as soft as they can be. Then going to
bed he begins to prespire, sleeps soundly
till morning, and is then a well man
with not trace of the cold that uncared
for might have developed into danger

SHOT In THE MOUTH
Col. Jack Chinn Dangerously
Wounded at ST. Louis
WHILE TRYING TO DRAW A DIRK
He Was Discharged for NOT Attending 10
His Duties as a Starter, but Refused
10 Receive the Notice.

Sr. Louis, Mo-, Nov. l5.-Col. Jack
Chinn, starter at the East ST. Louis
Jockey club track, was shot and IT is
believed fatally wounded this after
noon by Capt. ID. Anthony. Colonel
Chinn returned few days ago from
Chicago. where ne has been handling
the flag at the Hawthorne track. The
East 81. Louis Jockey club holds q con-
tract with Chinn, but had consented to
the arrangements. On finding dltil-
Guilty IN filling his place. however, they
ordered him back. The turn of affairs
did not Just exactly suit Mr.. Chinn and
he was III decided y bad temper. lie
came back yesterday and took his
place, however. He Was IN very bad
numor and read the riot act 10 the
Jockeys before racing began, and be-
fore the day was over made lot of
ugly talk about several persons con-
nected with the track. His work yes
terday WAS not of kind to grow en-
thuslastic over.
Last night the directors of the club
held a meeting, at winch IL was de-
cided to suspend Chinn indefinitely.
This morning Chinn began drinking
heavily and by noon was in very
much intoxicated condition. His order
of dismissal was made out, but he did
not show up at the track until after
the first race was run.
Would Not BE Discharged.
The club had secured Starter Dwyer
of the Madison track to handle the flag
and he was IN the box resdy for the
second race when Chinn appeared and
took the flag away from him and start
ed the horses. After the race Secretary
Alexander found Chinn among the
stables and presented him ms dis
charge. Chinn said that if he did not
start the horses nobody else would and
refused to accept the paper, at the
same time catching hold of Mr..
Alexander's coat collar with
one hand and reaching down
into his boot with the other he drew u
large dirk knife. Two policemen
caught Chinn and tried TO disarm HIM,
he IL the meantime making desperate
efforts to get at Alexander with the
knife.
Captain Anthony came up on the
scene at this moment. and seeing that
Chlnn was about to get the best of the
policemen, drew mis- revolver and fired
full in Chinn's face. The ball struck
Chinn in the mouth and ranged up
ward coming out back Of the ear.
Chinn WAS removed to hospital on
this side of the river. where he lies
with but slight hopes of his recovery.
Colonel Chinn is known all over the
country among turf circles and has
handled the flag at all the great tracks
Of the country.
Late tonight the physicians expressed
the hope that Chinn would recover.
Chinn's friends were asked to give bond
in the sum of $1,000 for him, but were
unable t furnish il. In the meantime
an officer is on watch at the bedside of
the wounded man. Officer Anthony
was not arrested and resumed his
dutles

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Cleveland Says He Sees No Use in
Making the Call.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-The Sun states
that II Is permitted to announce au-
thoritatlvely that it is the present de-
termination of ex-President Cleveland
not to call an extra session of congress
Immediately after his Inauguration.
The feeling of Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends is said to be that an extra ses-
sion could be of no particular advan-
tage and that the proper thing TO do is
to give Mr.. Cleveland and the demo-
cratic leaders time TO look around and
determine just what course to pursue.
The last session of the fifty
second congress, which assemblies on
the first Monday OF December at hand,
may take up a bill calling for the re-
peal of the Sherman law. which makes
1t obligatory for the treasury depart
ment 10 purchase ever. month 81 ,500,-
900 in silver bullion. The program
concerning this m after, though, has
not yet been arranged. Every step
over this law, as well as other matters.
will be taken only after the gravest
consideration.
