Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbl-
ing 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 re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE SHRiNERS.

Friday WaSredletter day IN MankaGO
history. The city is in possession of
300 to 400 members of the Ancient
Arabic Order of the Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine. Osman Temple swoop-
ed down upon us from st. Paul by
special train this afternoon, and has
pitched its tents in Union hall.
The Mobiles began to arrive last
night, and all the trains today brought
in delegations. The streets were gay
with the handsome fezZes and the tlut-
tering badges, bearing the gilt camel
and scimiter. The Saulpaugh was head
quarters for the Shriners, and the ro-
tunda presented an animated scene,
being thronged with strangers. The
Mobiles have come from all parts OF
the state, and are fine and gentle
manly appearing set OF men, all OF
them being business men OF good
standing at their respective homes.
The work of the temple began at
once after the parade, at Union hall,
whittier large quantities OF parapher-
MALTA have been carried during the
past two days. There are tifty-one
candidates, and each one is required
to pay into the treasury of the temple
$40 as an initiation fee. From the eX-
tent of the preparations made, it is
evident that little, if anything, will be
left in the treasury. The work will last
during good portion of the night,
and the special train for ST. Paul will
leave at 4:25 a. m. Many will remain
over tomorrow or take late trains for
home.
The weather was cause for some
anxiety, and the clouds were watched
with fears, but no rain fell, and
strong south wind dried the streets.
Broad street was smoothed down with
the scraper during the day, in readi-
ness for the parade.
THE PARADE.
The special train, consisting OF three
coaches and baggage car, arrived at
$40 o'clock Friday afternoon over the
Omaha road, bringing 100 members of
Osman temple, of st. Paul. 1t was
met at the depot by the Shriners who
were already in the city, and line of
march was formed at once. There
was large crowd OF spectators at the
depot to witness the start OF the
parade.
The parade was great success, and
was witnessed by crowds of people
along the entire line of march, which
was up Broad to Liberty street, down
Liberty to Front, and down Front to
Union hall. 1t was glittering
pageant, full of strong, mysterious
beings, costumed in weird garments.
AS whole, it presented beautiful
sight, but to one IMMERSED in the
mysteries of the temple tits impossible
to adequate description.
Concordia band led the column, and
was followed by company of
spearmen from the grounds
of Osman Temple, brilliantly
uniformed in the Zouave style. Then
followed cart drawn by a western
mountain burro, dressed pantalettes
and bunting. This bore high dignity,
Illustrious Potentate Stone. Then came
on foot a dozen persons dressed in
curious garb, doubtless representing

FELL THIRTY FEET.

A workman named John BrOcher
had narrow escape fromdeathFriday
morning, while at work on the south
wall of the new Presbyterian church.
He was assisting in placinga stone in
position, and just as it had been COM
pleted he lost his balance in some
way and fell over backwards off Of the
scaffolding. AS he fell he reached for
the edge of the wall, and pulled a
stone with him. Fortunately this
only fell to the Scaffolding and stayed
there. Mr.. Brocher fell to the floor,
distance of over twenty feet and
striking on the floor, dropped through
to the basement, at least ten feet fur
ther. In nine cases out of ten, death
would have resulted instantly, but in
this case Mr. Broker soon revived,
and was taken in a carriage: to. his
home in Dukes addition. DR.. Har-
ringtOn was summoned and dressed
the mans wounds, which were found
to be quite serious. He was suffering
from severe cuts and bruises on his
head, and the clavicle, or collar bone,
was broken. DR.. Harrington is I'M
able to predict how soon Mr. Broker
will be able to be around again, but
he will be confined to his house for
some time. He is about forty-five
years of age and has family.

the selection. The betwitching
