DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed 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 nor-
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
TANNED condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

A RELIGIOUS Dog.

There is dog in New London, Conn,
which is an unusually intelligent ami
NAL, in spiritual things, anyway. Some
nights since the mistress of the house
attempted to send him from the room,
but he who never before failed to obey
refused to move. The family then had
their usual evening prayers. after
which Master Nero arose and left the
room with no urging. After that he
was urged to leave before prayers a
number of times, and he always refus-
ed. After prayers he is ready to 60.

Gent, and we appreciate your services,
but I hear that you have repeatedly
asserted that If you were to die the
business couldn't possibly survive it,
and this has worried me considerably,
for you, like all men, are liable to die
very unexpectedly, and SO we have
concluded to experiment while we are
all in health and see IL the concern will
survive. So you will please consider
yourself dead for one year, and draw
no salary for that time, and we will
try it."-Tid-Bits

PULMONARY CC!.lDeAINTS
T. A. Slocum offers to Send Two Bot
ties Free of His Remedy to Cure

Nothing could be fairer, more .philan-
thropic or carry more joy in its wake than
the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of 1888
Pearl street, New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption and all pulmon-
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condi-
tions of wasting. He invites those desir-
GUS of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postotfice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach of death. Al
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands of cases
which were given up, and deaf h was looked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing so proof-positive of its benefcent re-
suits, DR.. Slocum considers it his religious
duty, a duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its c1datel, and i,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
of dissolution, bringing JOY to homes over
which the shadow CT the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
from it's inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more SO is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured.'
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration of the afflicted, who for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake Will
be in passing the invitation by.

Another Clue TO Identity of the Mysterious
Suicide at Lexington, Mass.

Lexington, May 20.-"Leslie Davis, -
the unknown suicide is still puzzle to
the Lexington officers.
There are many reasons for believing
that the name he signed to the lstter
found on his body is q fictitious one, as
it does not correspond with the name on
receipt found in his note book or with
the initials on his ring. This fact adds
much to the mystery of the case.
The officers are hard at work on the
case as they believe the mans death
covers much different story, perhaps.

not believe his story sounds quite right

his good clothes and $50 In his pocket are
considered.

MANY NOTES OUTSTANDING.
Evidence That Late Hon. E. o. Blunt OF
Nashua May Have Been Forger.

Nashua: n. A.. May -2o--.Rumor.ssha as
been quite pusy within the past week III
reference to the financial affairs of the
late Hon. e. o. Blunt. who died very
suddenly some four weeks ago. He was a
prominent resident, held state offices OF
honor, and was member of Governor
Smiths council He filled the position
of State Senator and city offices. He was
Mason of high degree At the settle
mont of his estate. it was found insol-
vent. He was estimated worth something
like 1000, which came to him through
the death Of his father. For some time
he has been sick with diahetis, and 1T is
thought his illness affected his mind and
led him to commit acts which in the eye
of the law, would he accounted forgery.
Since his death notes have been made
public which were unknown to his
friends and family. The first note which
came due at the time of his death for
$1,000 and which was paid, bore the sigma
ture Of his sister, Miss Mary Holt. Then
came another for $400, signed by Mr..
Blunt, but not endorsed. This was paid.
Since that time others have come to
light. One is held by ex-Gov. Smith for
$500, which bears the endorsement of
Mrs. Holt. Others were found which
makes the debt about $4,000. Mrs. Holt
denied endorsing but one note for $1,000,
which was paid long before MIR. Blunt
died. The estate it is claimed will settle
at about so per cent. 1t is estimated that
Mr.. Blunt met with heavy Losses some
five years ago in speculation.

Mr.. Walker denounced the leaders of the
House and asserted that stheir reign
would come to an end with this Congress-
and that in the next House rules would
be adopted by which business could be
transacted in accordance with the wishes
of the mem bers.
Mr.. Dalzell, supporting the order said
if there was any controversy it would
be between the COMMITTEES of labor and
the gentlemen who wanted the consid-
GRAFTON OF private bills. ~

appropriation bills, to issue three per cent
certificates of indebtedness to the amount
OF s1U0, 000, 900, sredeemable at the treasury

Mr.. German said to the Senators that
there would be q shortage in the treasury

Mr.. German said that MI. Sherman and
his friends knew that bill which
would increase the Mckinley rates GOULD
never receive the support of the Demo-
Gratis. If that Senator was in earnest
in his desire to relieve the treasury, it
could be done by passing the bill in re-
