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. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inAamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it 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 catarrh,
which is nothing but an inaamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol
any case of Deafness (csused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A Morbid Mother.

PARKERsBuRG, W. Va, June l9.-
Mrs. Philip Kerch, wife of a well-to-do
farmer near Pleasant Hill, this County,
murdered four of her children, yesterday
and committed suicide. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kerch had eight children, the oldest Of
whom, Mollie, was II years old. For
some time Mrs. Kerch had been melan-
choly, and frequently said that she was
afraid she would die and leave her chill.
dren. She seemed to be in good health,
however, except that she sometimes
complained of apain in her side. After
dinner Mrs. Kerch went into the laundry
where Mollie was and baid:

poison, and We will all jump into the

Mollie remembered that a bottle of
strychnine was in the house, and she ran
to the place where it had been kept. It
was gone, and when she returned to
where her mother was she saw her throw
the 10 months old baby into the we'll.
Before she could be prevented the crazed
mother threw the year old child after
the infant, and was in the act of seizing
the boy eight or nine years old, but
Mollie rescued the child. A desperate
struggle then ensued between mother
and daughter, but the mother broke loose
and jumped into the we'll, which had
eight feet of water in it. Freddie, who
had been given poison, was found lying
dead on the floor of the house, and John.
ME died few minutes later. Mr.. Kerch

A Quick Juror.

A Judge was once trying murder case
in one of the wire. grass counties, and ex'
perienced great difficulty in getting a ju-
ry. Eleven jurors had been sworn In,
and In the next panel was brought in a
small, lean, lank, cadaverous-looking
fellow, who had on only one shoe, hia
pants being nearly above his knees, bis
shirt open both front and back, and the
aforesaid pants held up by single
brace. The solicitor proceeded to ask
the usual questions in such cases as fol-
lows:
"Haye you, from having seen the
crime committed or having heard any Of
the testimony delivered under oath,
formed or expressed any opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the prisoner at
the bar ?"
The single-braced fellow, in clear
and distinct voice, answered:
"Not any,"
"Have you any prejudice or bias rest
ing on your mind for or against the pris'
oner at the bar 7"
81 hain't."
"Is your mind perfectly impartial be-
tween the State and the accused ?"
"Hit air."
care you conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment"
II isn't"
The Judge didn't like the juror much,
but it being late and jurors scarce, he
was "put on" the prisoner in the usual
manner, the clerk saying:
"Juror, look upon the prisoner; ptls
oner, look upon tbejuror."
The juror was close to the prisoner,
and when this command was given he
bent over him, scanning him from head
to foot intently for some minutes, and
then turned to the judge, and said in q
firm, solemn voice:
"Yes, judge, I think he's guilty"

England the mercury ranged from 80 to

They Stole a Locomotive.

time, most unique civil service exami'
nation know of occurred during the
war;" said S. @. DeLand, of the exam.
ining board at the treasury, to newspa'
par man. "The Confederacy was very
much in need of railway locomotive in
order to operate their supply system.
It was in 1864 and they had not the
means to buy an engine, so the .invaria-;
BILE alternative arose-steal one. A band:
of one hundred men was selected from
Lees army and placed under the COM
mand of a big six-foot-four Georgian,
who had been foreman Of q stone quarry
and was more OF less skilled In the use
Of derricka, etc. He took his men up in
Maryland and they tore up a section OF
tho Baltimore and Ohio railway tracks,
tagged the next train and with nothing
on earth save plenty of rope, those one
hundred men carried the locomotive 6f-
ty-two miles over hills, across streams,
through bogs and woods, until they struck
a line the Confederscy had built. Then
they ran the engine down to Virginia.
When the president of the Baltimore
and Ohio heard of the feat he couldn't
believe it. he went out and personally
inspected the scene; went over the route
and declared it the most wonderful feat
of engineering ever accomplished. After
the war he delegated man to find the
leader of the band. he was located in
Georgia. Mr.. Garrett sent for him and
on the strength of that single feat made
him roadmaster of his entire system Of
railroads. ANY man that can pick up
an engine with fishing lines and carry 1t

tion with me- said he.-CHicaeo Ledger.

The rascal told his intended wife that
his good old mother was the best Homah
in The world: hut was deaf--vsry deaf
and 1t would be quite an effort to talk to
hef, etc. In due time they were married
and journeyed to his mothers home.
The mother and the bride met at the
gate and embraced most lovingly and
then began to scream in each others ear
their congratulations while the young
man stood off to one side just dying with
laughter, for the truth was that neither
the bride nor the mother was deaf at all.
But there is some good in every af1ic.
tion. Deaf people are generally good
people, thoughtful aud kind. If they
get 80 from being deaf then there is a
chance for me yet. Then, again, they
are exempt from being asked many ques.
tions and from hearing many things that
distract the mind and harden the heart.
T never knew but one right square out

deaf. He bought for banker who was
as deaf as he was, ard it was funny to
see them &c out behind the banking
house. to talk business. You could hear
them from the back alley, but they didn't
have any secrets, for The banker waS the
pureBt and best man who ever lived in
Rome. Deaf men csn't have any secrets,
for folks won't tell them any. They
have to talk too loud. So I'll never hear
any more town talk, and I'll never have
any occasion to abuse anybody any more.

I ate them, nevertheless.
My wife believes In birthdays and
birthday presents and Christmas gifts for

"After going over the grounds we went
over to the Stanford, Jr., University,
which is named in honor of the only son
of the Senator who died when fourteen
years of age. 1t is mile distant. The
Senator has given the university an en-.
dowment of two million dollars, the most
princely donation ever made by any liv-
ing man in this country. The university
has 70 professors, teaching all the
branches of literature and science.
President Harrison has been engaged by
the Senator to deliver course of lectures
there, requiring two months only and for
which he will receive $4,000. The plan
of the buildings are different to what We
are accustomed to seeing. They are
scattered over large area of ground.
There is no charge to students save that
of board. Large buildings are provided
for both girls and boys-one quarter of a
mile apart. They are about 200 boys
and 600 girls in attendance. There are
large fraternity and society halls, gym
uasiums and running tracks. The mu.
scum of the university is a remarkably
handsome and valuable one.
"After visiting these grounds we were
driven over to the Senator's mansion,
which is surrounded by the most charm

of lunch and feasted on everything that

- People should never go in the early
morning to get boots and shoes fitted.
In the latter part of the day the feet are
