Deafness Cannot Be cured

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condl-

famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its norman
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an IN

Loss of Votes.

Through the neglect or Ignorance
of voters to mark their ballots prop
erly, at the election on the third,
several hundred votes were lost.
About one hundred voters did not
vote for any one, as they failed to
put a cross either at the head of
their ticket or before a candidates
name. Some electors voted for only
one man, having neglected to mark
a cross at the head of the ticket, and
merely marked a cross before one
name.
On candidates for city offices the
number of electors who did not vote
can be seen in the following:
The ward poll lists show the
total number of electors who voted
to be 2,545. For the Office of
Comptroller 2,422 votes were cast,
showing a loss of 1913. For Re-
corder the vote cast amounted to
1893, which shows loss of 152.
The total vote cast for Justice of
Peace was 2,372, a loss of 173.
The following will show the
number of votes lost in the wards
for Comptroller: First, II; Second,
20; Third, IS; Fourth, II; Fifth,
20; Sixth, 16.
For the Office of Justice of Su-
preme Court 1913 electors in the
city failed to vote, and for Circuit
Judge 200 neglected to mark their
tickets. For County Commissioner
of Schools, there is a loss of 235.

She asked for 1t the best she could but the Indians. of course, did not understand and held up piece after piece in the hopes that one would catch her fancy.
 The squaws ali knew the young lady wanted something, but couldn't help her in any way. So they became silent and sat watching her turn over the bric-a- brac.
 At lIst she saw a piece Of native cloth with strings, etc, lying on the pile and thia ktng that what she wanted might be underneath picked it up. l. Ckad curious and attracted her atten- ton so she comm need to examine it closely. The squaws thought she had found what she wanted and commenced to giggle. In moment another squaW ran up and grabbed the peculiar rag whereat all the rest commenced to laugh loudly.
 The young lady got annoyed at tbe hilarty and left the crowd wondering what had caused such mirta.
 She was not left long in doubt for in a moment the old squaw took the rag and fastened her baby onto her back, that had been awakened by the laughter, with it.
