Feeding " heat,

The place for wheat at present
prices is in the manger and feed
trough. 1t is not necessary to say
anything as to the value of wheat as
feed. 1t is among the very best for
all classes of animals. 1t is too
hard to feed, however, without soak
ing or grinding, and it is we'll to
mix it with something else. As
easy a way to feed it as any is to
soak it, or it may be ground coarse
ly. Hogs do splendidly upon it.
Horses relish it. For poultry it is
excellent, and there is more money
in feeding it at present prices than
in selling it. Better sell the corn
and feed the wheat. With the
prospect that immense quantities of
wheat will be fed and that next
years acreage will be greatly de-
creased, it is likely that fifty-cent
wheat will be a thing of the past be-
fore this time next year.

The Hannibal Post in speaking of
the remarriage of DR.. Hearne and
Mrs. Stillwell says: Whenever the
names of DIR. Hearne and Mrs. Fan.
ME StillwelI are mentioned, it seems
to revive the memory Of that (the
Stillwell) murder, but why it is so is
not for us to say, But it is strange
indeed that after DIR. Hearne should
accuse his wife of being implicated
lin that murder and threatened to ex.
pose her, and after they had been
granted a divorce and the same
published to the world--we say, il
is strange indeed that they should
remarry so soon and yet not live to-
gether. The citizens of Hannibal feel
thatthey have been imposed upon
and disgraced by having been hand
icappe1 to some extent in ferriting
out this atrocious murder. There
will be no congratulations wired DIR.
and Mrs. Hearne from Hannibal, MOI

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eussachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken oul; 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 infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of d~eafness lcaused by catarrhD that can
not be cured by Halls Cattarh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
