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 hat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, n when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
famatiou can be taken out and this tube
restored to its 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

Judge Young for Congress|

Judge Young Tor Congress
Yesterday morning two CALI Sth
signed very largely were presentet 90
Judge William Young asking hiQto be-
come a candidate for congress. THESE
calls were signed by scores OF good
representative democrats. An INTEL
LIeENCER reporter called on Judge
Young yesterday, He had nothing to
say for the press this week. lie will
answer the calls in a few days.
Judge William Young the second son
of Henderson Young and Docia (Calla-
way) Young, was born in Lexington.
Mo. September 10th, 1912. lie lived in
Lexington till 1850 when his father moved
to a farm 4 miles south of Lexington On
the old Independence road. His father
died in 1854. lie joined the southern
army (Bledsoe's Battery in the spring
of 1851. Was wounded at Wilson Creek
August 10th, 1861, came back to farm
and remained until Prices raid 1864.
He fell in with this raid and went with
the army to Texas. Returned home in
fall of 1865 and studied law with Saw
yer and Christman at Independence,
Mo-, and commenced the practice of Law
in Lexington in 1868. He was elected
sheriff of Lafayette county in 1872 after
the hottest political light ever made in
LAFAYETTE county The railroad bond
trouble having assumed the o serious
aspect. lie was appointed to the office
of county judge in 1875 and accepted
the office at the request of the taxpayers
convention composed of men of ali par
ties. While on The bench the agreement
for compromise of the bonded debt of
the county was completed and q large
part of the debt compromised n on
the terms then offered the whole debt
was Aafterward settled. lie was elected
prosecuting attorney at the fall election
of 1875 and continued in the work of
settling the county debt troubles. lie
was a candidate for congress in this dis
trict in 1878 before the convention mt
Boonville and came within a fraction of
q vote of receiving h lie
was elected Probate Judge in 1890 and
again i'm 1894. He was educated in the
common school of the county n i'll the
Masonic College at Lexington and Cen
trail College at Fayette, Mo.
OF course he does not claim h credit
of the reforms wrought in our county
for it was the Joint and combined work
of a large number of as good and patri-
otto men as yer lived working together
for that end but he can claim credit for
a large share of it. There is not a tax
payer in Lafayette county who does not
have something more left over after
having paid his taxes than ne would
have HAD if it had not been for his in
dividual exertions, that much is sure.
Judge Young was the first editor OF
the INTELLJGENCER, and is n of the
ablest men in the district. The INTEL
LIGENCER believes that he is the man
for the democrats to nominate for con-
gress. He is a hard political fighter, a
good campaigner and il nominated, will
be elected. The democrats of the dis
trict need such a man to lead then TO
victory.
