Michigan yearns soulful yearn
after the unattainable in passing
an anti.treating law. 1t is a pity
that it is unattainable, for the
habit of treating is the one most
fruitful Of all sources OF excessive
drinking. When men drink only
what they pay for themselves there
will be little drunkenness.

The annual meetings Of the great
religious bodies of this continent
are about over, but it does not APP
pear that the freethought Of the
churches is any more restrained
than one year ago. 1t is apparent
that the organized enemies of free
biblical criticism are not gaining
ground.

The man or woman who has re-

hailed her returning flight to the

thing wonderfully attractive about
this quaint old town. To live In it
once is to love it forever.

The spinning mills in the south
are spinning more than double the
amount OF cotton today that they
did when the last United States
census was taken. They will double
this one more time before the next
census is had. Texas should get a
move on herself and come into the
ring.

The reports of wash outs on the
railroads multiply in southwest
and west Texas, showing that the
unprecedented drouth OF the past
semi-decade has been split up the
back as far as its collarbone. This
is matter Of great rejoicing, not.
withstanding the chronic kickers
will insist that there is too much
rain and that crops are irretriev-
ably damaged. twill be found in
the last analysis Of the crop situa-
tion that these damaged crops will
pan out more dollars to the acre this
year Of grace than they have done
in any one year since the last United
States census was taken and the
takers thereof turned up their toes
to the daisies. These kicks are the
only signs OF life that these chronic
fault finders have to distinguish
them from the great body Of the
defunct. The kick does no one any
harm. Put this down and under
score it. Southwest Texas cannot
have too much rain.

ARMENIAN REFOPNIS

London, Sept. 3.-The Hon. George Cur
zon, under secretary for the foreign office,
replying TO a question by Mr.. BOwles.
member of parliament, in the house of
commons today, said that several commu-
mcatlons had been received from Turkey
on the subject of proposed reforms in
Armenia. Unfortunately, he said. the
communications were unsatisfactory. The
project of reforms which had been sug-
gested by Russia, France and England
had not received the official support of
Germany, Austria and Italy. But the
powers last named, Mr.. Curzon said. he
believed We're in sympathy with the re-
forms proposed. AS to whether the gov
eminent would undertake any action be
yond diplomatic representa- tons or ne
gotlatiOnS without previously informing
parliament on the grounds upon which
the action would be made, he was
unable to say, nor could he make any
declaration regarding the course the gov
eminent would find themselves called up
on to pursue in regard to Armenian
affairs.
In reply to an Interrogation by Mr.
Luttrel a member for the Tavistock di
vision of DeyOnshire, relative to the cas-,
of w. H. Rikard, an EngliShman now IN
der sentence of 80 years imprisonment il

aliSt rebellion, Mr.. Curzon said that a:

nationality the government had no locu.

He Immediately took a lIy-Of and CON
suited a friend, who advised him to write
70 an cd stamp dealer in New York and
ascertain their value. The stamps are
very old and have the mark of st. Louis
and are supposed TO have been issued
when that city was a trading post, some
thing over 100 years ago. A man in
Austin who claims to know the value OF
old stamps says that the three owned by
Herz0gg are worth in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. With this information in his

HoMEsEEKERS' EXCURSIONS.
Illinois Central Gives Notice That They
VIII Run Them to the South.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The Illinois Central
gave notice Of its intention to run home
seekers excursions to points in the South
On September - and October i and 2.
The rate for these excursions will be one
fare for the round trip. There is posi-
bility that these excursions may stir up
bad feeling in the Western lines, az some
Of them are not feeling any too well over
the excursion business any way, and it is
openly declared by several Of the roads
that the cheap excursions run to the South
are the reason why they do not get more
business on their excursions West. They
have, moreover, but three days in which
TO run their excursions, while the North
and South lines are running them practi-
cally all the year around. 1t is entirely
among the probabilities for some Of the
Western roads to discard all the restric-
tiOns that have been thrown around the
harvest excursion business and run their
cheap excursion business on the wide open
plan.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling 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 destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
