'TmE HUMAN EAR.


A Notable Lecture ON the Sense OF
Hearing by DIR. Hartman.
During the course Of one Of DR..
Hartman's latest lectures at the Surgi-
cal Hotel he said: "GOod hearing is
essential to health and safety A
continual roaring, cracking and buzz
zing in the head, which is always pro-
duced by partial loss of hearing, is a
constant nervous irritation which will
gradually undermine the strength.
Besides this, even a slight loss of hear
ing renders any one more liable to ac-
cident, many persons being killed
everV year because Of partial deafness.
Many people think that gradual loss
of the sense Of hearing is inevitable,
and that every one must submit to it
sooner or later. Hence they make no
attempt to find cure. This is great
mistake. Loss Of hearing, either in
the old or young people, is nearly al
ways due to chronic catarrh Of the
head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness Is due to cstarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes to the middle ear.
The catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear. The symptoms are: Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in 1the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. If not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case
has not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru'na will cure
every case. It is only after catarrh
has destroyed portions Of the middle
ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure. All
such cases should write DR.. Hartman
Columbus, Ohio, for further advice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, etc., will be sent free to any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company of Columbus,
Ohio.

We Join in an Emphatic Protest Against
ANY Tinkerlng with the Omaha Plat
form.
There has been and still is deter
mination on the part of few men who
have identified themselves with the
peoples party to narrow its its platform
to single issue. Senators Stewart
and Jones are evidently recognized
leaders of this movement and they
evidently have followers in high posi-
lions in the party. It may be stated
here las it is no secret) that the ma
tional committee at it's last meeting in
St Louis over year ago was inclined
to issue an address committing itself
to this policy, but for certain reasons,
known to those who were present,
changed its purpose at that time. The
scheme is now in contemplation again
as is evident from the recent address of
Chairman Taubeneck.
The Kansas State Farmers Alliance
undoubtedly voiced the sentiment of
nine out of every ten populists of this
state when it declared again for the old
Farmers Alliance demands, and ex-
pressed its disapprobation of the single
issue programme, The Advocate has
no use for any such movement, and
further we do not now hesitate to say
that the Omaha convention never en-
powered the national committee to
change or modify its platform in any
particular, or to intimate, in their Off
cial capacity, that such thing is either
probable or possible.
The Southern Mercury few days
ago expressed our sentiments precisely
in criticism of Chairman Taubeneck.
1t was at fault in only one thing. It's
criticism was based upon newspaper
interview, and that is usually very
unsafe basis of criticism. However,
most of the points made by the Mer-
curry are justified by the address issued
over Mr.. Taubeneck's signature. AS
an individual, of course, he has right
to go with any party and identify him
self with any movement he chooses,
but as chairman of the populist nation
al committee he has no such right.
The Omaha convention elected him and
the balance of the national committee
for certain specific duties, and the
making or unmalling of platforms of
the party was not included in these
duties, nor was it accorded among the
privileges conferred. If the committee
will limit its official and even it's semi
official acts to such duties as legiti-
mately belong to national committee,
it will do well. Further than this, it
has no authority to go, and we join the
Southern Mercury in its emphatic pro-
test against the proposed tinkering of
the Omaha platform. The next con-
vention will undoubtedly be fully com
petent to make any changes in plat
form that may be deemed advisable.
This is not the first time we have re-
ferred to this matter and it will not

HDaU POSTUM. )"

ABBYvILLE, Kans., Jan. 8, 1895.
The writer and his better-half re-
ceived a special invitation the other
day to take dinner with Mr.. and Mrs.
3. +. Willis, accordingly, we gave way
to our weakness, which we always feel
on receiving such invitations and went.
We arrived IN due time, in fact, as we
never like to run any risk Of being late
on such occasions, we were on hands
much sooner than was customary or
necessary. However we put in the
time before dinner discussing various
subjects such as Carlisle's late financial
policy, etc, etc
In due time the hostess announced
that dinner was ready. After seating
us at the table what was our surprise
when MRS. Willis announced that the
first course to be served was oppossum.
Mr.. Willis accordingly proceeded in
his artistic style to carve the aforesaid
named animal. 1t had been many
years since we had RECALLED our apetites
with such a palatable dish. So you
may be sure we did not hesitate to
pass our plates.
Wen, l. would be glad to describe to
the readers of the GAZETTE the delici-
Gus, par excellent taste of "dat pos
SON." but my pen balks. Father
Willis was in the heighth of his glory
and as he ate, a broad smile was Wis
able on his face. He no doubt was re-
minded of his boyhood days, some SO
years ago in old Virginia when opos-
sums were much more numerous than
in sunny Kansas.
We forgot to say, that this opossum
was a native of the strip, and was sent
tOMr. Willis as a present from his SON.
in-law, Thomas DeVall. 1t was very fat
and was cooked so nicely that although
there were on the table many other
delicacies we passed our plate the
second time for Opossum. AS we write
this we are led to exclaim that, ''if
there is anything chat we like better
than opossum, it is more opossum."

PRUDENT AND WISE.

The POpulists Of Alabama Are Moving
Cautiously but Will Get There just the
Same.
The populists of Alabama are acting
prudently and wisely. They believe
that Mr.. Kolb has been twice elected
governor, and as many times ruled out
by those who have charge of the cleo
ton machinery. There is no law in
the state providing for an election con-
test, hence there was no chance to get
at the facts or secure justice, or give
the people an opportunity to choose
their rulers by majority vote at an
honest election.
Hence they decided, as given in a
former issue of this paper, on the only
course left them. On Inauguration
day, Mr.. Kolb was sworn, in as gov
ernor. He attempted no revolutionary
proceedings, nor did he make any eff
fort to organize a legislature. OF
course Oates, the democrat, was also
sworn in, organized the legislature
and proceeded to business with no at
tempt at interference by Kolb or his
followers. At the proper time the
democrats proceeded to elect United
States senator. Here was the populist
opportunity, and the object for which
Kolb had been sworn in. He and the
populist members of the legislature
met and also elected United States
senator. This will enable contest in
the United States senate, the only con-
test that could be had, and the only
manner, under the laws of Alabama,
that the legality of the election could
be brought in question.
Some things can be done as well as
others.-Mount Vernon Qll.) Progress
