How TO get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer

ventors
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea Of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an Idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor.
tunatcy such ideas arc usually dismissed
without thought. The simple Invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and 1t is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through US, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav

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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamad condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inAamed you have a rumb'
ling 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 condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAamed condition Of the mn-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tsrrh) that cannot be cured by Hall

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENT

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,
WASHINGTON. D. c., June Gath, 1895.
Spain is afraid, according to the cable
news from Madrid, that the United
States is seeking pretext for the forci-
bic seizure of Cuba. That is about the
most amusing bit of news that has come
to Washington for many long day.
Not that such proceeding on the part
of this government would be unpopular
in this country. On the contrary, all
the indications are that it would be
extremely popular. But the present
administration has made record on the
policy Of extending the territory Of the
United States which should give even
90 weak country as Spain ample assur
ance that Cuba will be safe so far as
this country is concerned until there is
a change Of administration.
At least two members of the Cabinet
are working to step from their present
positions into the Senate, on the 4th Of
March, 1897, and they are both supper.
ted by the whole power of the admins
tration in their ambitions. Secretary
Hoke Smith is an ayowed candidate for
Senator Gordon's seat, that gentleman
haying announced that he would not
stand for reelection, but he has sturdy
opposition in the person of ex-speaker
Crisp. Secretary Carlisle is not an
avowed candidate for Senator Black
burns seat, but his friends all admit
that he will become such if the demo-
Gratis carry the Kentucky Legislature
this fall.
The silver men are not pleased with
recent events in the political world.
The prospects Of a division in the re-
publican party on silver have changed
materially since that Cleveland Conven-
tion succeeded in lodging the question,
and the result in Kentucky has made
them less sanguine of success in the
South. But they say the crisis will
come when the National Conventions of
the republican and democratic parties
are held next year, and unless one or
the other adopts platform friendly to
silver stampede from both parties will
take place and the silver men will all
get together.
According to e1-Representative For.
man, of Illinois, now in Washington,
Hon. VIM. R. Morrison, who was sup
posed few weeks ago to be near enough
in accord with President Clevelands
ideas on finance to 60 to Illinois to try
to head off the free silver movement in
his party, is now the idol of the free
coinage democrats of the state and will
be pushed by them for the presidential
nomination. 1T had been supposed that
Vice President Stevenson would be the
candidate put forth by Illinois-in fact
it has from the first been charged by
the administration people that all the
silver agitation in Illinois was in the
interest OF Mr.. Stevenson 8 candidacy
but when Mr.. Forman's attention was
called to that superstition he said
stevenson would have no show in
Illinois against Morrison. There is no

A Fnmsy Explanation.

Since the publication of Judge Beall's record
showing that about three fourths Of hts cases
are being reversed by the supreme court and
sent back to he tried over again, his supporters
have been forced TO desperate straits to ac-
count for such a condition Of things. and this
Is the explanation they offer. viz. Tint most
Of the cases reversed were jury cases. and that
1t was tho jury's mistake and not the judges
which caused the reversals.
A person need not be n lawyer 10 see the ab.
surdity Of this. In every case there was = mo-
ton for a new trial filed, and II the jury made
a mistake, IL vi a ths judges duty to set the
verdict aside and grant a new trial, Further
more, their statement OF fact is not true.
The supreme court record shows that only one
Of these cases was reversed on the jury verdict.
to-wit: The case Of Bartlett vs. state, reported
In 40 Nebraska, page go. The balance were
reversed for errors OF law made by the court In
Introduction of evidence. instructions to the
Jury, etc, by reason Of which n fair trial was
not had; and the one case reversed ON the yer.
diet was because the judge erred In not setting
aside the verdict ana granting n new trial;
fu rthermorc, In that case. the supreme court
intimat~d that there was other reversible error
committed by the lower court.
1t Is useless to explain this record on any
other ground than that Of judicial incompe-
tsncy.
