Deafness Cannot be Cured

By ocai applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf AIMED
you have rumblihg sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out aid this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
nine cases out nf ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but infame6 condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

We suppose almost everybody was
thankful yesterday, There is scarcely
anyone, We suppose, that has not
something to be thankful for, although
it may require powerfully strong
analytical mind for some TO discover
what real grounds they have for
thankfulness. The old lady whose
children all died from diptheria and
whose husband got killed in the fire
that destroyed her house and all its
contents, thanked God it was no
worse. She was philosopher.
w. A. Mcclure, we'll known citi-
zen of Mckay, Ohio, is of the opinion
that there is nothing as good for
children troubled with colds or Group
as Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy. He
has used it in his family for several
years with the best results and always
keeps a bottle of it in the house. AT
ter having la grippe he was himself
troubled with a severe cough. He
used other remedies without benefit
and then concluded to try the chill
dren's medicine and to his delight it
soon effected a permanent cure. 70

A RAIN OF FIRE.

RedhOt Balls Come Down in Shower
In Florida.
TARPoN SPRINGS. Fla, April 10 A
terrible electric storm passed over this
place yesterday, and at noon there oc-
CURED a grand and yet terrible phenom-
ena. At that hour a blazing bolt about
as large as a mans head descended from
the clouds and struck a telephone wire
near the center of the town. When the
bolt struck a terrific explosion followed
that shattered glass in the windows of
houses two blocks distant
Immediately following the descent
of this bolt came a perfect shower
of balls of fire about the size OF
waInuts. This rain of fire was
general over the town and continued
for probably ten minutes. The balls re-
sembled molten iron and spattered when
they came in contact with the earth. Sew
eral roofs of houses on which the balls
fell were ignited. but the flames were ex-
tinguished by rain, which began to fall
heavily. Probably fifty people were
severely shocked during the progress of
the electric rain. While the balls of
fire were falling strong smell of sulphur
pervaded the atmosphere. The places
where the balls struck look as if iron
lad recently been fused there
The greatest terror prevailed during
the rain of fire. Many people thought
the judgment day had come.

He Makes Trade for q $4,000 Flat in
Kansas City, Mo.
d. L Furbeck, late Populist candidate
for lieutenant governor, has just made a
trade for the Worcester fats on the south
west corner of Eighth street and Euclid
avenue in Kansas City, Mo, at a price
named as $75,O 0O There are now TWEEN
ty-one families in the building, and the
income from the property is large.
MI. Furbeck has proved himself a
very successful trader. Two years ago
he traded his farm four miles west of
Topeka, upon which there was an 5000
mortgage, for large hotel in Liberty,
Mo- The mortgage was assumed by the
purchasers A little over a year ago BIT
Furbeck traded the hotel for a 10000
acre ranch in southwest Texas. Now he
has exchanged the ranch for the Kansas
City property.
The mortgage on the farm is now be-
ing foreclosed which gave rise TO the
story that Dir. Furbeck was about 10 lose
his place. The Kansas City property is
in the name of Myron f. Furbeck. who
is son of Mr.. Furbeck, because he is
made party to the foreclosure suit on
his former home in the country, and the
judgment holds against him.

This Produces an IncOnvenient State of
Affairs There.
An unfortunate condition of affairs ex-
lists now at the Topeka insane asylum.
The steward of that institution must sign
all warrants for money for whatever pur-
pose connected with the institution. Sew
eral weeks ago Governor Morrill, sus-
pended Steward Butler and directed u
member of the state board of charities to
take charge
An INJUNCTION was secured to prove Mt
the transfer OF the records, but Butler still
stands suspended and cannot therefore
act in his official capacity.
So the asylum has no steward and no
one can sign the warrants in his place
None of those connected with the asylum
can get their wages because a warrant
can not legally be drawn, and the asy-
lum employees are beginning to wish for
an officer, no matter who he is, that can
legalize their warrants.
