Deafness Can,s 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 con- stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect 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 condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ter are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in1amed condition of the mucuous sur. faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that wt cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars, free.

federal court, has filed the documents crN-
tured in the famous tin box in Pens
Agent George y. Van Luen's private

spondence, discriminating upon It's face, be-
tween Van Luen and certain boards OF
medical examiners with whom he had re-

Nearly all of the numerous indictments

CHEE-FO0 HAS FALLEN.
laps Will Next Fight In the Vicinity
OF Port Arthur.

LONDON, Oct. 10. - A dispatch from
Yokohama repeats the report Of the capture
of Che Foo and adds that the japanese
have landed troops 1t Tsrascada, near
Port Arthur.
The Times, commenting upon the re-
port of the capture of Che-Foo by the Jap
anese and the landing of troops at Taras-
cada. says that If these reports are true,
the japanese have at last shown their
hands wisely in deciding to avoid an at
tack upon Pekin.
They have apparently decided to attack
Port Arthur, and, it is stated. have dis
embarked troops in bay to the northeast
Of that place, which Is well suited TO form
q base OF operations. The garrison may
now number 10000 men.
Like many places provided with extrava-
CANT coast defenses, Port Arthur has a
back door In selecting this as place of
attack, the Japanese are following the
best precedents. The conditions have
many points of resemblance to those of Sc
bastapol.
In the face of the coming winter, which
the Chinese can better endure than the
Japanese, the latter have every induce
ment to hasten the attack, and are un-
likely to undertake another operation for
the present.
