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 inhamed 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 its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

ONCE Seekers.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary
Gage has struck against the impor-
tunities of Office seekers. Since he has
been in Office little opportunity has
been given him to attend to Office bust

early and late with people who want
positions and those who had friends
who are candidates. Yesterday morn
ing the secretary had no opportunity
to look into the affairs of the depart
ment before going to the cabinet
meeting. Yesterday afternoon he took
the bit in his teeth and issued this
order: Hereafter the secretary will
receive visitors only between the hours
of ten and one o'clock on days other
than Cabinet days. On cabinet days
visitors will be received from nine I'M
til 1880. No visitors will be received

A Remarkable Prophecy.

During the American revolution an
English magazine published an esti-
mate of the future population of the
North American colonies. Placing the
population then at ., 00O, 900. and aSsum-
ing that it would double itself every %
years. the writer estimated that in the
year 1890 the number would have in
creased to $4,000, 900. This may be
taken as most remarkable prophecy,
inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes the
total population at 81 o., $50. - San

The Half Has Not Been Told.

JACKSON, Miss, April There is
nothing encouraging in the situation
along the river front to-day. People
are fleeing for their lives. Several
refugees have arrived in Jackson and
report that the half has not been told;
that no pen can describe the desola-
ton, the devastation and ruin that is
being visited upon the planters in the
counties of Bolivar, Washington,
Sharkey, Issaquena and others.
Greenville is still dry, but the wa
ters from breaks above and below are
backing toward the city, being within
half a mile on the north, and orders
have been issued that protection levees
be built around the city.
1t is reported to-day that 800 towns
and villages are under, but there are
not 800 post offices in all the Delta
country. Several villages are, how
ever, overfowed. Rosedale, town of
1000 inhabitants, is four feet under
water.
According to private advices received
here to-day, other small towns are in
same condition, and still others will be
in a day or two.

Another objectionable feature OF the bill Is
that it iaterfe-es with the negotiabilfty Of the
notes not stamped as. required. 1t has always
been the policy of the law to give to CONNER
cial paper the utmost freedom and circulation.
as this is one very important means OF supply
ing any deficiency in the money circulation.
WOULD CAUSE PETTY PROSECUTIONS
The bill. as understand it, would lead TO an
innumerable number OF petty prosecutions. the
majority Of which would be malicious in effect
IL not in law. While the legal presumption Is
that laws viii be obeyed, yet it is a fact that
they are not, and we have right 70 presume as
fact that this law will be constantly
violated by the holders OF notes unless all
property is assessed at its actual cash value
as the law contemplates Whenever this Is
done the holders of notes will be great
measure cease their opposition to measures
similar to the one under consideration The
prosecutions for violations of this law would
be instituted by the debtor who has paid the
note not stamped, and will only be done by him
in cases where there is iIl-feeling between him
and the creditor, and the debtor who would do
this would be among the worse of their class,
all of which would have a tendency to increase
the rate of interest as to the borrowers least

DE- ADVANTAGE TO CAPITALISTS.

Again, the capitalists holding a SUFFICIENT
number OF notes will avoid the law by inGorSing
their notes to friends in other states prior TO
June l. and viii thus escape taxation on all
their property in this form, whereas at present
they are paying taxes perhaps one-haIf of
their obligations, while the small capitalists
widows, curators and the like, with only two or
three notes, will be unable to take this advan-
tage, and will not only pay the present taxation
upon all the property they possess but will help
TO make up the taxes that will be lost by reason
OF the large capitalists sending their property

There can be no doubt that something should
be done to secure more equal distribution OF
the burdens of taxation. and especially that
money, bonds and notes should be more fully
assessed than they now are, but my ideas is
that this bill, intended to accomplish that pur-
pose, will practically result in a larger proper
tionate share of the burdens of taxation falling
on the men OF moderate means and q large pro-
portion will escape taxation by note and bond
holders than under the rrpSarf

Deadwood was the unanimous, choice.
There were bids for Lead City and

the camps at Spearfish, Lead City and
st. Onge were.present in person; other
camps sent communications. The date
for the picnic has not been decided
upon yet, pending the result of nego-
tiations that are being made by the
Deadwood camp for the attendance of
of Hon. w. j. Bryan. The date will be
set to conform to Mr. Bryan's plans
A committee from the local camp cir
culated petition among the business
men some weeks ago and met a liberal
response, with the promise of as much
more in the event of Mr.. Bryan agree
ing to come. Considerable expense
will be gone to in fixing up the picnic
grounds and providing entertainment
for the visitors.
Officers were elected as follows:
Joseph r. Rush, president.
Joseph Pinsinault, Lead City, first
vice president.
Henry Piner, st. Onge, second vice
president.

Good Copper Prospects,.

James Demereaux and Cy Robbins,
who are working the Kiemer ground on
French creek. about fifteen miles be-
low Custer, think they will soon open
up big copper mine, says the Dead
wood Times. They have lease of the
property and SO far have been handi-
capped by reason of having to do a
large amount of dead work. The old
workings consisting of shaft and
drifts, have caved in and in order to
again reach the ore body new shaft
must be sunk. This is now being
done with good results. Ore carrying
from ten to seventy five per cent has
been taken out and every indication
goes to show the existence of a large
body of ore at no great depth where
present development is carried on.

Little Stewart Stanley is all broken
up and can scarcely be comforted, be-
cause of the death of his pet dog,
Brutus. The dog, which was pet
and nothing but pet-was probably
poisoned in some manner. Stewart
gave his dead dog just as nice burial
as he could and it was truly pathetic
scene, for the tears and sighs told of an
almost broken little heart when that
canine, which had been such playful,
faithful companion, was placed be-
meath the sod. Stewart fairly loved
his dog, which has been a companion
and playmate to him during that
period when he was growing from baby
hood to boyhood, and the attachment
seemed almost filial, and when he
learned that Brutus was dead his grief
could scarcely be comforted and he said
he wanted to die too. And now every
day he spends an hour or more gather.
ing flowers and carrying them out and
scattering them over the little mound
that covers SO much that was Joy to
him.

bring their own towels.
