every old soldier in the state to wear
our badge and feel comfortable at
our meetings This cannot be done
when the department commander is
shopping around trying to hide from some fool

shall give my whole energy, time and abilities
to the service of the G. A R during this pres
emit year, and I appeal to my friends not to
hamper my work by placing me in position of
an omce-seeker while am trying to rekindle
interest in purely non-partisan order.

VIEWS OF A JURIST.
Judge Simons, of Fort Scott, Declares That
Prohibition Will Be Enforced.

Judge SimOns, or Fort Scott, Declares That
Prohibition Will Be Enforced.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, May Judge
Walter l.. Simmons, during to-day's
session of the district court, addressed
the ex-saloonmen, ministers. prohibi-
tionists and nti-prohibitionists, de-
claring that the prohi bitory law must
be enforced. He took notice of the
statements in the press that Gov. Leedy
and Attorney-General Boyle had at
tempted to influence the county attor-
ney to allow saloons to run and said
that while he did not believe the re-
ports, if they were true the governor
and attorney general, who were sworn
to enforce the law, had assumed pre-
rogative that was not theirs and placed
themselves in a ridiculous light. He
eulogized County Attorney Sheppard
for his firm stand and served notice on
the saloonl>eepers that the law must
and would be enforced.

Deafne.. 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 inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have 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 its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by eatarrh) that
