Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to ouro deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iDfiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eu~stachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed 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 normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucuous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A POPULAR
How the Building of an Electric Road
to MAYHEM Would Help the
People.

The Higginsville papers are inclined to
make sport of the proposition originating
here for the construction of an electric
road to connect MAYHEM and Lexington.
We can assure our esteemed contempor-
aries that the building of such a road is
seriously contemplated, and it is expected
that it will pay its operating expenses
from the very start. The capital required
to build it can easily be raised, and it is
by no means an idle or iridescent dream
OF visionary people. The distance from
Lexington to MAYHEM is bou ten miles
in almost an air line. The road would
probably follow the public highway, but
not its contortions.
Substantial iron bridges would pan all
streams, and stone culverts put in at all
r~avines, making the oad perfectly safe
for public travel. There would also be a
great public park on the line, and in time
1t would be beautiied in man. ways.
During the summer months band con-
certs, picnics and dancing parties could
be held at the park and hundreds would
attend, thus increasing the patronage of
the road. The fare would not be high,
because the o could be operated at q
nominal cost to the stockholders. Far
mers would be able to spend an evening
at the park or visit the city and return
home by bedtime. To them it would be
almost the same thing as living in toV 4.
They could take rides on the road, attend
theatres, churches, parties, and amuse
themselves altogether as though they
resided in q city. This intra-urban
electric road would solve the farm ques-
ton for that part of the country through
which 1t passed. Property in the vicinity
of the road would be enhanced in value
two fold and all the farmers would be
anxious to own land on the line. May
view would increase in population, wealth
and Importance. A farmer could STEP
aboard an electric car carrying a couple
OF baskets of eggs, butter, fruit, ETC., spin
into town at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, buy and sell, and get back home
before he could possibly "hitch up" his
horses and drive to town.. The ride through
the country would be a delight to city
people. The scenery is grand, especially
as MAYHEM is approached. The country
ladies could come to town In the morning
do their shopping at the finest stores in
the county, and return home in ample
time to prepare the MONDAY meal. Aftel
the road is in operation everybody, in
town and country, will wonder how they
ever managed to get along without it.
