Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infam
ed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it en-.
tirely closes, 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 infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

old-time political leader said to-day:
! "When one of these reform move
ments strikes Kansas, there is no
use trying to head it off. 1t starts
like a gentle zephyr, and before we
know anything. it is cyclone
sweeping over the prairies and tax
ing everything before it. With
Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs and
Mrs. Johns directing the fight, we
might as we'll give in now"
The closing meeting Saturday
night differed very little from the
other three public meetings, save
that the audience was larger and the
collection for the campaign fund was
several dollars greater than at the
other meetings The speeches were
all about woman suffrage. They
were good speeches, too, but 1t was
like seeing the same play with a
different set of players.
Mrs. L. j Smith, Of Mcpherson,
made the opening address. She
was the youngest Of fhe Kansas
women who were prominent in the
rally. Miss Susan B. Anthony was
given another ovation when she
arose to relate her experiences in her
long fight for woman's rights. Other
speakers were Mrs. Clara Hoffman,
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Byron Sherry

For her a wedding gown, for them shroud;
They stitch and stitch but never mend the rent
Torn in lfe's golden curtains. Glad Youth went,
And left them alone with Time and now if bowed
With burdens they should sob and cry aloud,
Wondering the rich would look from their content
And so this gimmering life at last recedes
In unknown endless depths beyond recall
And what's the worth of all our ardent creeds

WOMEN'S RALLY.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
The two days suffrage rally in
Kansas City, Kas., closed Saturday
night with a meeting that filled the
tabernacle to Overlooking. The pres
ence of such a great multitude Of
intelligent, thinking men and women
,ofN re- Two Kansas Citys thrilled the
noted national ana state suffrage
agitators with joy, and good old
Susan B. >Anthony exclaimed that,
with such a grand starting of the
long campain, half the battle for the
ballot had already been won for the
women of Kansas.
The rally was a wonderful gather
ing Of gifted women Of the state
and nation who are battling for the
success of what they believe to be
a righteous cause. Its like has new
er been seen before in Kansas. 1t
will be memorable as marking the
beginning of one Of the most unique
campaigns in political history.
Not one among the thousands Of
people who attended the four public
meetings would count the time lost
or even poorly spent Such flood
of feminine eloqence and oratory,
and such a fusi'ade Of facts and ar
guments, can be heard but once in
a lifetime. What will result from
such rally, or what will be the i'm
press on the minds of the uncon-
verified men upon whom success de-
ponds, will only be revealed through
after developments. Men of all par
ties in Kansas City, Kas., who have
noted the trend Of political affairs
i1 Kansas for years admit that if the
women keep up the fight as they
have started out, nothing on earth
will prevent the passage of the sui
frage amendment in November,
1894. They base their belief on
the fact that Kansas is always doing
something cranky" and, as one

Who died in freedoms cause,
And not for some living hero

For out of the strife which woman
Is passing through to-day,
A man that is more than human
Shall yet be born, say.
A man in whose pure spirit
No dross of self will Turk;
A man who is strong to cope with
wrong;-
A man who is proud to work
A man with hope undaunted,
A man with god like power,
Shall come when he most is wanted,
Shall come at the needed hour.
He shall silence the din and clamor

And tolls long fight with purse
proud might
Shall triumph through this man.

To Blow Up Cyclones.

DR.. Q. K. Carpenter has evolved plan
by which approaching cyclones can be
bombarded and many lives and thou
sands Of dollars worth Of property
saved. DIR. Carpenter says that the great
Mississippi and Missouri valleys COM
pose the cyclone centers of the CONT
nent. His plan is to have stations where
men can be trained to watch for a COM
ing twister and then destroy it before it
reaches the city by exploding it with
torpedoes. He said: 81 would have a
station sufficiently high to permit the
watchmen to see cyclone when it is
coming. The torpedoes would have to
be sent into the cloud scientifically, Of
course, and therefore men should be
trained to the service. would have the
station attached to the weather bureau,
which would aid IN getting advance in
formation of cyclones. Strong marine
glasses could be used at night by watch
men, and an alarm could be given in
plenty of time. My method would Of
course be OF no use in hurricanes, but
am fully convinced that my theory is g
good one for cyclones and well worth g
trial. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

has grand old man compared with

no more than middle aged. DIR. de Bots
sy is 100 years and some days old. In
honor of his having completed a century
he has been feted at dinner given in
his honor by the medical faculty of his
native place. In accordance with French
custom he presided himself. After eat
ing an excellent dinner he made lively
and amusing speech, which was much
applauded. His father, he declared, lived
to be 10s years old, and as for himself he
had every hope of going ON for long
while yet to come, laboring in the cause
of suffering humanity. During the chol-
era epidemic, the year before last, DIR. de

guished himself and to have gained a
medal of honor for the arduous work he

Checking kentucky Pride.

The Home and School puts check on
impulsive state pride by a curt catalogue
of "things the Kentuckian can learn at
the Worlds fair" Among these are.
''That Kentucky is not the only coun-
try on earth
'That horse is not the noblest work
of God.
''That if bur legislature is the worst in
the Union it has competition.
''That there is some beauty and good
deal of brains outside his own state.
THAT there is much in a name, and
ours might be improved.
THAT the earth will not worship him
because he is from Kentucky.
THAT there are many other people as
hospitable as he, and a few more polite.
THAT man is not necessarily fool
because he doesn't talk horse.'"

There was lively time on Pullman
car on the Southern road last night while
en- route from New Orleans to this city.
At Chattanooga William G. Blackburn
of this city, porter on one of the cars,
began to act queerly. He ran through
the train screaming and nearly scared
the passengers out Of their wits. At one
time he took all the money out of his
pockets and threw It ont of the window.
He finally became so violent that it was
necessary to chain him in an apartment.
Upon arriving at the Grand Central
depot he was taken to police headquar-
ters, from which he was sent to the city
hospital The only explanation of Black
burns strange conduct was that he had
been crazed by tobacco. Some time ago
he was All inveterate user of the weed,
but stopped suddenly. Yesterday he took
a big chew of tobacco before he began to
set crazy.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
