The Popular Douglas Shoe,

There is no shoe made for mems
wear that has attained q greater pop
ularity than the celebrated W. L..
Douglas shoe. The fact that they
combine style and quality at a low
price has given them universal in
dorsment., The hemanufacturer of these
shoes has made it possible for a man
in the most ordinary circumstances
to keep himself provided with foot
wear of as good style as the market
affords the extremely low price at
which they are sold placing them
within reach OF all
The only cheap quality in them
however is the price; in all other re-
spects they grade as high as any 9th
er shoe in the market. Their lasting
qualities have been fully tested and
found to be unequalled. They are
not only of good style when new, but
retain their shape and excellent ap-
pearance until completely worn out
Ia very rare quality in even the high
priced shoes. They are sold in Ma
poleon by Mat Reiser, Jr., who has
just received a new invoice of the
various styles.

Grange Library.

Emerson says, The highest end of
government is the education of man.
Man constitutes the American gov
ernment. Hence the highest end of
man is to educate himself. The only
tue way to educate, is to put our
ourselves in touch with educators.
This we do when we study the best
works of our best writers.
The members of the Harrison
Grange, if they ever were asleep in
the presence of this great fact, awoke
q long time since, and took action
towards establishing q choice library.
But of late the charming goddess of
literature has been moving them,
and lured into activity q literary pas
sion which promises to be satisfied
only with a first-class circulating
library, containing-say several hun
dred choice volumes. At the last
session the committee which had
been appointed to devise ways
and means gave the following re-
port:
1. Each of the eighty-three mem
bers shall at next meeting, contribute
one or more volumes of the best lit
erature.
2. Fifty dollars from the treasury
shall at once be invested in history
poetry, fiction, etc., of the worlds
best authors.
8. Other investments to follow.
The few members who were not
present at the last meeting are re
quested toaglance over the above re
port and on Saturday evening turr
out. Do it, if you want to be in thu

MAMMOTH CAVE.
Not in Kentucky, but in Seneca
County, OhiO-KnOwn as Rat
tlesnake Den Twenty Years
Ago.

A story comes from Tiffin that in
the vicinity of Flat Rock, Seneca
county, a party of young men start
ed to explore cave that has been
known as Rattlesnake den for more
than twenty years, and that they sue
ceeded to greater extent than any
others who ever made the attempt.
The party secured three balls of
twine, each ball containing 1000 feet,
with lanterns and other appliances
suitable for roaming about beneath
the earth's surface, through passages
that led they knew not where. They
found that it was necessary for them
to go on their hands and knees for a.
distance of about fifteen feet, when
they emerged into chamber, high.
wide and dry. This led into other
chambers, many Of them very Large,
and the floors Of all of them were as
smooth as glass, both the walls and
floors giving the appearance that
might be imagined were countless
ages of running water had smoothed
them. The largest chamber found
was at least 1,000feet long, very high,
and 100 feet in width. In another
chamber stalacites of crystal clear
ness, and very beautiful were discov-
cred. Each chamber was lower than
the former one, and after going three
thousand feet, they marked the place
by a lantern, and proceeded further
until their progress was blocked by a
stream of water about fifty feet in
width and clear as crystal and cold
as ice. With the conveniences sup
piled, the party were unable to ex-
plore further and so returned.
The mouth of the cave has been
closed for a number of years, but in
the past few months was again open
ed, and parties have been making
new discoveries.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube gets infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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 in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
