ueafness Cannot be Curea

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that il by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining OF the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed YOU have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result. and unless the
can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

Edwin Booth.

The romantic history of Edwin
Booth has a scarcely less fascination
for the people than the genius of the
actor. III all that has been written
regarding Edwin Booth were pub
lished ii would make library of it
self, and would include n mass of
opinions, some erudite. some shall
low. some sincere and some captious,
but together showing as much vari-
ance OF opinion as probably any col
lection of printed words in the Eng
fish language; for Edwin Booth was
not alone in the public mind great
actor; he was also singular one in
many respects. Performing always
and without change or novelty the
same old parts. he was not an actor
OF the old stage. Without percepti-
BILE change in his representations of
such characters as IagO, Hamlet or
Richelieu, during a quarter of CEN
fury, his methods seemed to have an
nnwithering freshness, perennial and
pleasant. which prevented them from
ever getting old. Thus it is, that
AAAeCi sAAi stNt'i VI NLiOl1B iiltllN IuudiltN
like Henry Irving has been seen fire.
quently in a character with which the
public grows familiar, his manner
isms and peculiarities become well
known; they grow more manifest
each year. his ability to divest him
self of them seems to grow gradually
less, until finally imitators appear
and mimics get a fair field. But it
was not so with Edwin Booth. His
Hamlet remained essentially the
same performance as it was in 1865,
though years freighted with events,
triumphs and disappointments had
passed over the head of the actor
and changes which occurred in that
time of public taste and stage meth
DDS and mounting were little short of
revolutionary and Kaleidoscope.

cans to make room for democrats.
The Record says:
Fault is found with Gov. Altgeld
because he has chosen to exercise his
privilege of turning republicans out
of office and putting democrats in
their place.
Now this is just little bit unrea-
sonable When party carries a
state by 20, 900 ma iority it is surely
entitled to administer the affairs of
the commonwealth in the manner it
deems most fitting. 1t cannot pos
sibly do so unless the more import
ant positions are filed by men in
sympathy with its own principles.
Gov. Altgeld is responsible to the
people of the state and to his own
party for the manner in which all the
public institutions of Illinois are
Conducted Had he been elected as
citizen-a non-partisan-it would
have been quite proper for him to
apply the non-partisanship principle
to removals and appointments; but
he was elected as an out ana out
democrat. and it is not only his right,
but his duty to put democrats into
the more important positions. He
cannot De tN peClcu ~ iC4H up" -
publicans To carry out his ideas.
Offices are not to be regarded mere
" as spoils; they are part of the
machinery of administration, and
consequently, to carry out the theory
of responsible government, should be
in the hands of the ruling party. So
far as the minor places are concern
ed, civil service rules should apply.
but the heads of departments and
managers of large institutions should
be of the same political faith. The
most earnest opposition of the spoils
system concede that.
This principle has always been
acted upon by the republicans ofllli-
nois and it is only fair to permit GOV.
Alt~eld and his democratic colleagues
to adopt the same Sule without rails
ing an cutlery againSe them.

Now is the time to commence
treating for the Cold" that has
troubled you all winter.
Why do the physicians of the Scot
Medical institute make this state

In reply we would say. We have
been overrun with business during
the winter. Numbers of cases for
consulta ton we have advised 10 wait
for warmer weather before commence
inc treatment. Now is the best time
OF the wear We do not say this SIM
ply for the sake Of making money
but because we can treat diseases OF
the throat, lang and catarrh to bet
ter advantage now than at any other
time of the wear. Our disadvantage
has been we did not have the facili-
ties for treating the great number OF
cases thronCing our offices. We have
dozens of patients who have to wait
until 10 D. m. to receive their treat
ment To obviate this we have added
another treating room to our office
and secured the assistance of DR..
Morris, Buffalo, y. Y, and patients
will not be required to wait so long.
We say with pardonable pride that
this is the only private office in Iowa

n ny ladies who wear the pretty, del
icatn plume of the egret on their bonnets
do 50 III the belief that this C-'lament is
common feathers. Mr.. w. II. Hudson,
author of The Naturalist III u Plata, "
who has too often witnessed the slaugh-
ter Of the white heron for its feathers,
colTects this little mistake.
Whatever part the art of millinery
may take in combining and arranging
the ogret plume the material itself is the
spoil of cruelty. Nature made it the
''nuptial adornment" of the parent bird,
and it is sought for and stolen at the sea-
son of its growth by unfeeling men who
profit by catering to fashionable vanity.
Mr.. Hudson says that the egrets are in
nearly all cases actually made of the
slender feathers that grow at one time Of
the year on the egret's back and droop
gracefully over the back and tail of the
bird. Those who engage in the business
of procuring these plumes know that to
obtain good supply with little trouble
The birds must be taken when the breed
ing season is well advanced.
The best time to attack them is when
the Young birC3 are fully fedged and not
yet able to fly, for at that time tie solic-
itude of the parent birds is greatest, and
forgetful of tier own danger they are
most readily made victims. When the
killing is finished and the fe,; Landfuls
of coveted feathers have been plucked
out, the slaughtered birds are left in a
white heap to tester in the sun and wind
and in sight of their orphaned young
that cry for food and are not fed.

tells of ''teas" in that South Sea island.
The Samoan tea is quite like any other
tea so far as it is an informal festivity
to promote sociability over sip of some
thing" The peculiar cordial brewed by
the native women is usually the ''some-
thing" offered, drunk out of cocoa shell

To Elect President In February.

l propose that the national election
day, instead of being set for the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, be set for the 22d of February
If we adopt George Washington's in
auguration day for our national revolu-
ton, why shall we not adopt his birth
day as the date for its all important pre-
iminary? If the persons who favor set
ting inauguration day for the 1st of Jan
uary really desire thus to reduce the in
terval between election and Inauguration
to two months, my plan would effect
substantially the same purpose.
1t would provide an election day dur
ing just as much of an "off season" as
the present one. Farmers and others
who find early November the most con-
venient time to go to their polling places
would be just as little bound down by
work at the latter end of February as at
the beginning of November, and the
weather and the roads would certainly
be in no worse condition.-V. T. Raun
