Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous
hoingof the Eurtachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inf smmation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditioD, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
in1lamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

"Gen. James G. Field, our former

nomination for vice-president by the
peoples party on the same ticket with
Gen, James B. Weaver.
"We regret the loss of Gen. Field to
the democratic party, for we have al

paper correspondent. But Chairman Brack-
EFT is too much absorbed with convention
work to quite understand the situation.
Minneapolis people are no such self-deny-
ing martyrs as this. Everybody wants
ticket, and everybody is hoping and try
ing for 1t, exactly as would the residents
OF any city where convention might be
held Some of the committeeman are
doubtless sincere in their intention to see
prominent outsiders supplied with admis-
sions first of all, but as for the maddng
crowd of MinneapoIis-it is looking out for
Itself, and properly enough.
The plan of distribution of tickets by
Mr.. Meek, as understood, is this: Each
of the forty-eight national committeeman
will have forty tickets. or nearly 1000 in
all. Each of the 900 delegates will have
four tickets, or $500 in all. Each alternate
will have one ticket, 900 in all. The local
press will have $50 tickets of admission.
This gives total of 1850 tickets, leaving
$500 to be disposed Of Mr.. Meek will
doubtless remember MANY prominent
visitors and may meet the demands of
some candidates in measure. The local
committee understands that at least 1000
tickets are to be placed at it's disposal.
Secretary McCory. of the executive COM
mlttee, is authority for the statement that
these will be sold. 1t is learned from other
sources that the price per ticket will be
fixed at $50, while, if the rush seems to
warrant, it may be raised to $50. This is
perhaps proper enough plan. At any
rate it shows the thrifty character of the
Minneapolitan. and that he does not lose
sight OF material affairs when seeking
fame. The committe has expended about
$4,000 for the convention arrangements
One thousand tickets at $50 each would
just balance this. Then there is the con-
cert of Monday night which should net
cool $4,000 at least, for thousands will be
willing to pay roundly just for sight of
the hall, to say nothing of Depew and
Mckinley, who are to be starred. There
is no reason, at this rate that Minneapolis
should not come out ahead financially on
the entertainment of the national conven-
ton. 1t may never have been worked so
finely in any city heretofore, but Mime
apolis promises good many innovations
on established usages. In some places
even everybody is supposed to eat.
The following table shows the location
of the delegations and their headquarters.

It is the goth day of April in the year Of
grace, 1857. On a wooden causeway cross
ing the North Fork of Bayou Pierre and
leaning over the adjacent swamp. three
figures are grouped near the low railing.
One is peculiarly deferential old negro
who is busily engaged winding the lines
upon two fishing rods and at the same
time listening attentively with an OCCASION
al duck of the head, almost comic in its
air of submission, to the speech of his
handsome young master, who leans easily

Although not place to win praise for
architectural beauty. says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, the Minneapolis convention
hall is ad mirabIy adapted for the purposes
intended. 1t will accommodate many
more people than any hall in which a
national convention has ever been held
1t will give them better view of delegates
and officers. At the Chicago Auditorium
four years ago many were in the galleries
where the tops of the heads of the dele
gates were the most to be seen. In the
Minneapolis hall, unless view happens to
be cut off by post, the entire space given
to delegates and nearly every person in
the hall will be in plain view. The ORR
ginal intention was to seat II, 900 people.
I'VE have arranged for additional
chairs" says Architect Hayes, $50 that
ii, 500 may be seated"
Of this number only 8 600 or thereabouts
will be in the gallery. 1t is to be noted in
this connection that there will be no stand
ing room. The chairs in the gallery ex-
tend back to the wall. So do the raised
seats on the main floor. Only the aisles
are lett, and it is not to be taken that with
such great gathering permission will be
given to occupy these. Every bit Of space
available elsewhere is occupied by chair
back to the farthest corner.
There will be two great entrances TO the
building, one on the river side, the other
opposite, for visitors. Each will be thirty
feet wide. Once inside, the ticket holder
will find himselfin broad space between

into the choppy sea of their college
pranks-empurping the boys eyes and
reddening the girls cheeks and tinting
the sleepy old town with the vermiliion
hues that materialize midway between
sunset and sunrise.
The fire went out and the moon climbed
high above the trees and Toms talk flowed
on like certain brook and nobody
thought of his blankets until Tom went
off in the shadows, shouting back his
laughter and laughter-provoking souibs
until the wind among the trees and the
devil among the horses swallowed him up.
On the day We heard Of Toms fate
Brown was the most stricken man 1 ever

news when the column returned from the
watering.
1t must have been close to O'Clock, for
had just completed the figures of the
morning report and turned to hand it to
the captain for his signature. The bugler
came up to our circle sitting on the logs
and saluted Lieutenant Brown.

10 o'clock, sir, just when the Sixtieth was
wavering in the face of a whitening fire,
Tom Dupont dashed up from the rear with
the look of a mailman. He spoke no word
to any one and needed no word that was
spoken to him, but snatching the colors
from the sergeant without an instants de-
lay he rushed upon the enemy, waving the
stars and stripes above his head Before
he had gone hundred yards he fell,

mean; is it the visitation of God, or has
there been foul play?'' Not since the

self so thoroughly versed in the science
of checkmating the best laid plans of
nihiism. His capacity for successfully
watching theto and the supposed COM
plcteness of his method had led everyone
to believe that attempts upon his life were
not likely to prove successful even if it
should be possible to initiate them. But
the sequel has shown, apparently, that the
official who is capable of holding his own
against the nihilists for a indefinite period
has not yet appeared. The situation is
complicated by the arrest today of DR..
Getchowsky, a Polish physician of st.
Petersburg, on suspicion of being the
author Of Gresser's death.
To convey an intelligent idea of this
strange drama it is necessary to go back to
the commencement. From the time W hen
General GresseT first assumed control of
the third section of police 1t became evil

severity would be pursued toward the
revolutionary element. Every tradition
of former regimes Of repression was to be
fully sustained. None would be spared or

suspected of affiliation with nihilism, and
not only this, but it was clearly seen tina
many traps to waylay the unwary and
draw them into aself-condemnatory course
