DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the inf1am- nation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed 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 circulars; free.

SHOT IN THE LEG.

Deputy Sheriff Puckett yesterday morn- ing arrested Aaron Williams, colored, on the South Highlands, on a warrant charging assault and battery. While bringing him to the city the negro made a break for liberty. The officer gave chase, and after repeated orders to halt, which were not needed, Deputy Puckett pulled his pistol and fired at him several times. One bullet took effect in the right leg above the ankle, and the negro came to a halt. He was brought to the city and turned over to the city au- thorities. Dr., Gibson attended the Ae- gro. A charge of reckless shooting has been preferred against Mir. Puckett.

The entire de- partment responded. The blaze was dis covered in lot of cotton batting in the second room from the front and was al- ready eating through the flooring when the firemen arrived. The blaze did but little damage, but would have proven disastrous had it not been discovered in time as strong northeast wind was blowing. n

Lowering Pullman Rates.

According to an exchange, sleeping
car accommodations may be cheaper.
A rumor is in circulation in the East,
according to dispatches received from
Washington, that the Pullman COM
pahy is contemplating a reduction in
it's rates. There has been a general
demand for a reduction in the upper
berth rate. for many months, and it is
more than probable enough pressure
has been brought to bear on the Pull
man company 10 aus the move.
Pullman rates are about the only
charges that have not been reduced in
these hard times, and it is thought to
be about time that they should be
knitted by the management.

hour for leaving as 10 80 there was no

were about 100 people to meet the party
at Chicago and they cheered Bryan

into a carriage and with Ex-Governor
Peck was driven Immediately to the
Auditorium annex.
Long before 2 80, the hour set for
the arrival Of VIM. J. Bryan, sharp
shooters Park was filled with labor
ing men. Outside, unnumbered
thousands had gathered, waiting i'm
patiently to see the apostle Of free sill

Every tree within the hearing OF
the speakers stand was filled with

Bryan was cheered continuously as he
was driven RAPIDLY through the street,
As his carriage neared the park the
densly packed crowd gathered there
and set mp a roar that lasted ten
minutes. Then with a rush the gates
were broken down.
The police were unable to control
the crowd and in a short time the
park was q dense mass Of crushed
but still chez ring humanity. No n
was seriously injured in the jam,
though n or two women tainted.
On the stand with Bryan were Judge

leaders Of the labor unions. Bryan
began speaking at 2 :35, choosing for
his subject: The Dignity of Labor"

WHY IS THIS?

The challenge of Mr.. Chartz, Presi-
dent Of the Bryan Club Of Ormsby, to
the Mckinley Club to publicly debate
the questions Of the campaign is still
unnoticed. The Weekly suggests that
instead Of sending to San Francisco
to get goldbug speakers it had better
take up the challenge and have a pub
lie debate. This is a good idea and
would also guarantee a much larger
crowd than gathered to hear the i'm
ported speaker last Sunday evening.
