BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.
Worlds Fair Officials Expose Pretender
to An Award.

Worlds Fair Officials Expose a Pretender
to An Award.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 15.-One of the
odd results of the Worlds Fair is the
claim now made to awards by some who
were not even exhibitors. Officials of
the Exposition have not as yet taken
final action in the matter, believing
the quick wit of the people will detect
the spurious claims. But to the case
of New York baking powder, that has
been widely advertising an award, the
attention of the Chief of Awards for
Agriculture, has been directed. He
brands the claim of this pretender as
false, declaring "Neither the records
of this department, nor the official cat
alogue of the Worlds Columbian Elk
position, show that this New York
Company was an exhibitor: conse-
quently it could not receive an award
at the Worlds Fair"
Those who fairly won their honors
at the Fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be
treated. The Price Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, having received
the highest award, say they are con-
WINGED their claims, and those of all
other holders of rightful honors, will
be fully indicated by the public.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-

tested.
PORT GIBSON, Dec. 4.-Hon. James
G. Spencer, Democratic Congressman
elect from this (the seventy district,
has received formal notice of contest
from DR.. A. M. Newman, the Populist
candidate. The contestant alleges
fraud at certain polls in the counties
of Kinds, Copiah, Franklin and Jeffer-
son. But his chief ground of contest
is blow aimed at the franchise clause
of the Mississippi State Constitution
requiring an educational qualification
for voters. He does not allege that he
received majority of the votes cast,
but virtually claims that but for the
State Constitution and laws all the ig-
norant men in the district would have
registered, and in their ignorance, have
voted for Newman. Therefore he claims
Mr.. Spencer's seat in Congress.
