make a bright, realistic and happy scene

Sleight-of-hand, in the olden time, was

how much more So are the wonderful ma s.
terpieceS Of conjuring presented by Ma
Gician Kellar this season. Keilar seems
to have advanced far beyond his com
petitors, in the matter of originating and
producing illusions and deceptions which
are so incomprehensible as to seem al
most unreal. He appears to possess an
affinity with unseen powers and to con
troll unknown forces, so bewildcring are
some of his masterpieces. He materializes
men and women out OF the air, before
the very eyes of his patrons, on a fully
lighted stage, upon which there are no
traps, screens or coverings of any sort
His growth OF real roses from a little
seed planted in sand is one of the best
of his small tricks, and has yet to be
compassed by any rival performer. Mrs
Kellar distributes these roses to the ladies
in the audience, and they are often pressed
and kept for years as mementoes Of the
great magician.

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
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
