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 inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed 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 it's
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
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

A Tornnlo in Texas.

Waco, Tex, Nov. %. - A tornado
that ragged in section twenty miles
from here Yesterday devastated a
strip one mile wide ard eight miles in
length. A number of farm houses
were demolished in the vicinity Of
Mart, McLennon county, and informa-
ton comes from Reisel, six miles from
Mart, that the residence Of Buck
Douglass was totally destroyed, his
wife severely hurt and one of his
children was killed outright. Five
persons were more or less injured as
far as heard from. The temperature
ranged nearly at summer heat prior to
the storm. In passing over the
prairie the cyclone took away every
thing it touched, leaving the earth
bare of grass.

Near me sat a French nurse, and in
her care was a beautiful little five
year-old girl.
From their conversation / gathered
that mamma" was expected every
moment, and anxious glances were be-
ing cast toward the Mount Royal drive

The young matron had been taking
lessons on the bicycle at the school,

ed the curve and wheeled toward us.

young republican who made his first

Huronitc reporter:
- regard McKinley's election as
sure as anything political can be.
Nebraska is republican. While Bry-
ans home is in our state, the people
are not with him on the silver ques-
ton. Two wears ago he lost the
state by an overwhelming majority,
when he was a candidate against
Jno. NJ. Thurstcn, and they fought
the campaign on that issue. Bry-
ans nomination was not IN the ma
ture Of a surprise to Nebraskans. 1t

he went 10 Chicago to be nominated.

Contrary to their usual course,
most OF the religious publications. OF
this country have severely criticised
the democratic platform, and say
that public honor and patriotism
demand the election o. Mckinley.
Nearly every college in the country,
among faculty and students, has
given n like expression. These things
mean that this is an unusual cam
paign, and that people who usually
do not take part in politics feel that
it is their duty to uphold honor and
honest money, for the government
and the individual!

rank free trader, and that even the
original draft OF the Wilson bill did
not mo far enough to suit him, The
settled policy OF democracy is free
trade. From natural inclination
Mr. Bryan was a free trader long be-

Perhaps one of the most singular
incidents in the political history OF
this country occurred in New York
City Tuesday night. In the great
Castle Garden an immense throng OF
people met on Aug. Il to hear a
speech from the democratic nominee
for president. One third of the aud
ience left the place IN disgust before
he finished. One week later another
crowd equally as large filed the
Garden to hear Bourke Cochran, an
other democrat, tear Bryan and his
speech to pieces. And he certainly
did it,
