Deafness Cannot be Cured

by bcal applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condirion of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever nine
cases oui OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

SUITS BEING BROUGHT.
Creditors Seeking to be Preferred

]. l. Cox, receiver of the defunct
First National Bank OF Johnson City,
states that a number of salts are being
filed against said bank now by men
who allege that they are entitled to
be preferred creditors. THESE suits
are brought by depositors to recover
money which was in the banks care
during the last three years of its cxis
tence.
The suits eff such creditors are based
on the groun1 that the bank was
known to have been insolvent all that
while, and that therefore the manage
ment had no right to receive tn mon
ey offered as deposits.
The result is that a large number Of
creditors will seek TIN ough suit to be
placed on the preferred list. If most
of the depositors should finally gain in
the position which they take, the
situation would not be improved in
the least. Such proceedings will call
tor numerous lawye; fees, and the
result will be that the expense of
litigation will swallow up the greater
portion Of the small per cert. which
it is hoped to realize on the assets OF
the bank.
Efforts to collect do not improve the
prospects of the bank. So mach OF
its assets is in paper based on flown

Said In a Recent Lecture on Chronic
Catarrh and Consumption
Catarrh of the lungs is, ordinar ly,
known as consumption; also cal I'd
tuberculosis. In these cases the ca
tarrh has usually found its way INTO
the lungs by the gradual extension Of
the disease from the throat through
the bronchial tubes. Consumption il
the natural termination OF all cases of
neglected chronic cstarrh. Every one
who is afflicted with chronic catarrh is
liable to be attacked with consumption
at any time. In the first stages OF the
disease Pe-ru-na can be relied upon to
produce great benefit, and in q large
per cent. of cases produce permanent
cure. All those afflicted with this
dread disease should begin at once the
following treatment:
After all other means have been
tried in vain after doctors have pro-
/ nounced the case hopeless and friends
have given up in despair after the
patient has lost all faith and the inces-
SAINT care of attendants seems futile,

Those of the young people of the United States
who year ago read story by Mr. Kirk Munroe
entitled THE Fur-seal Tooth. have probably
been in the same frame of mind as the boy who
wrote to the editor Of Hd1per's Young People,
when the story had been concluded, asking
when the next chapters were to be published,
and why the story had been stopped at the most
interesting part. The answer to these young pee
pie will be found IN the announcement recently
made that sequel to The Fur-Seal's Tooth
| begins in the first March issue of the Young
| People. This seque', by Mr.. Munroe, is entitled
Snow Shoes and Siedges," and it opens at the
point where the first story ended-that is at st.
| Michaels, at the mouth of the Yukon River,
where the two boys Phil Ryder and serge Bel
cofsky, were practically stranded, having failed
in their efforts to get to sitka before the winter
came on. In this strait they accept chance to
| go with a lumber company which is to proceed
a thousand miles up the Yukon, and. having
star ed their saw mill, go over and to Sitka, ar
irving at the latter place in the spring. The boys
accept this offer because there is other course
to pursue; and 'Snowshoes aud siedges prom
ises to be a most interesting account OF their
trials, dangers, escapes and wanderings in that
long journey to sitka.

A RELIGIOUS RASCAL.
President of a Security Company Disappears
 With Funds of Widows and Orphnns.

DENVER June lq.-HenTy J. Aldrich, president and general manager of the Colorado Security company, has diSap- poarCd and the creditors of the concern are making strenuous efforts to ascertain his whCrCaboutS. Inquiries for the miss ing man have brought to light one of tho greatest sensations known in Colorado. Five weeks ago MT Aldrich left Denver without giving notice of his proposed de- parturc and it is now thought hc has gone to Australia or he sandwich Islands.
 The nasty departure iS due to the issu- ancc of warrant for his arrest by the grand jury and which was about to be served. The charge is miSapprnpriation of funds intrllStcd to his care. Mr. Al driCh also acted as treaSurrr of St. John s cathedral for ten years and was recognized in Denver as a man of most sterling worth and deep religious character. From 300 to 400 ranch titles are ClOudCd by the acts of Aldrich, who diverted funds rrmittcd by eastern investors to mako good the shortage in maturing obligations occaSion- Cd by the depreciation in real estate. He guaranteed principal and interest on luans, and then began tho downward course which culminatCd in the appoint mrnt of a receiver three months ago.
 Even then there was no intimation of anything wrong, ana the ulScloSurCS only came to the surface with the work of the rtcrivrr in scanning the books. The hcav- jest loss falls upon widows and orphans in the cast, whose earnings and savings were intrustcd to the company for invest mrnt at a high rate of interest. One of the most distressing cases is that of a wid- ow at Bloomington, Ills She gave her whole fortune tn the security company and is now supported hy the county au- thoriticS. The debts will aggregate from $lOO. 0OO Ia 5000, GOO, and every title is sued by the company has to hc examined before its validity can he established.
