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 infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rum
bling 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
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

Harper's Weekly: Opposition to free
coinage was the issue upon which Nc
Kinley was elected. Support of high
tariff policy alone would have left him
short of vast army who voted for him
on the silver issue. Even among those
who expected and desired tariff legis-
latlon large proportion did not want
anything like the McKinleyism of 1890.
We do not yet know what the tariff of
1897 is to be in all its details. It was
so bad when 1t passed the House as to
provoke the condemnation of Repub-
lican Representatives from New Eng
land, and the Senate is sure to make 1t
still worse. On the other hand, the
Democratic opposition in Congress
does nothing to effect a cohesion of
forces. Its nominal leader in the
House openly advocates the policy of
letting the Republicans have their way
unchecked, on the ground that such a
tariff as they are framing will wreck
their party, Some Of the Democrats
from the South have become infected
with the passion for protection to local
interests, and no longer feel the old
enthusiasm in fighting high tariff rates.
With Representative Bailey of Texas
advising Democratic insction, and
Senator McEnery of Louisiana ready
to vote for a tariff which will satisfy
the sugar planters of his State, there is
nothing to attract to the regular"
organization those Democrats who left
it last fall, OF those independents who
supported 1t during the three cam
paigns in which Cleveland was it's
leader.

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSED AWAY

Mrs. Philura Tower died at the res
idence of her son, Joseph Tower, in
this city Monday. She had just passed
her S4th birthday but couple of weeks
ago and was at that time feeling very
well. Mrs. Tower was born in North
Chill, New York, June 20, 1913. She
came when twelve years of age with
her parents 10 Oakland Co., Michigan.
While living in that township she mar
ried Mr.. Joseph Tower, in 1888. Not
many years afterward they moved to
Grattan, and the family has resided in
that vicinity ever since. Thirteen
children, seven boys and six girls were
born to the family, eleven Of whom are
now living and nine were present at
their mothers burial. Mr.. Tower died
in 1874. She was of long lived family
her father living to ripe age of 81.
Mrs. Tower was an energetic wo-
man and very much loved by all
her neighbors and friends. She was
kind mother to her children and
grandchildren and was highly respect
ed by them who will miss her very
much. For the past eight years she
has made her home with her son here
but visited around among her children
as she desired. Her funeral was held
in the Congregational church Wednes-
day afternoon where many of her old
friends paid their last respect. Rev.
b. V. Child preached an excellent
