rhe preaded CHOLERA.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A dispatch was
some days ago received from Madrid
stating that the Spanish government
had confidential information of the prev
alence of cholera in Marseilles, France,
and that facts had been suppressed and
the government had accordingly sent
out special commission to investigate
it. At that time the marine hospitals
had received no information that would
enable them to affirm or deny the Mar
seilles rumors. DIR. Irwin, who is in
charge of the marine hospital service in
Europe, now reports briefly that it is
true that cholera prevails in Marseilles.
The marine hospital service is also in
receipt of a cablegram from Consul
Requi, at Rotterdam, who reports one
case of cholera at that place on foreign
vessel bound for Germany.

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.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rum bling 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 condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness tcaused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

ono Benefit OF the war.

KANSAS CRY, Aug. 5.-The Armour
Packing Company may prove an inn
portant factor in the war between China
and Japan, if pending negotiations are
carried to successful end. Recently it
received a cablegram from Yokohama,
Japan, from the Mikado's government,
asking for its price on 100000 pounds
of canned corned beef for the Japan
army. The company cabled its answer,
and pending a reply, which is expected
soon, has prepared to go into the busi-
ness of supplying meat to the battling
Asiatics on big scale. The company
has also opened negotiations with the
Chinese legation at Washington.

workman stabbed. Kicked and Beaten
by SlaVs.

CoNNRLLsvILLE, Pa, Aug. A. A
bloody affair occurred at Leisenring this
evening, which shows the spirit of the
striking Slavs is not subdued. While
Sam Matthews, who recently deserted
the strikers, was returning home from
work, number of Slavs who were pass
ing by attacked him. Matthews was
captured, and then followed one of the
cowardly, cruel scenes the Slavs have so
often enacted in this region. The fugi-
tive, hemmed in by numbers, struggled
desperately to protect himself. A big
Slav pushed in and struck at his neck
with a knife. Matthews threw out his
arm and the blade was buried in it above
the elbow. Dodging another blow, the
weapon penetrated his shoulder. There
was a storm of blows and every hand
striking them held knife. The poor
man was bleedingl dreadfully, but he
kept his wits and thus escaped more
than one of the fatal thrusts, when two
cowardlv Slavs struck him from behind,
stabbing him in the back almost stimuli
taneously. Then he was thrown under
foot, being kicked and trampled, while
the men stopped to stab him in his help
less condition. A crowd that had been
drawn by the attack charged on the
Slavs, drove them back and rescued the
wounded man. He was carried to his
home, efforts made to staunch the blood
and a physician summoned. His
wounds will prove fatal. He is now in
an unconscious condition. The SlaVs
who did the stabbing fed and have not
yet been arrested.
