not always convenient, however, for
the consumer to enjoy such privilege,
and the task devolyes upon some trusted
representative who most nearly knows
just what is desired and is capable of
making satisfactory choice. Expert
ence and close observation are necses-

Since its organization several years

joyed a most enviable position as lead
ing caterers to public demands and has
made a reputation that will disappear

Mr.. Hart is now in the eastern markets

Deafness Can Not be Cured

BY local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed 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 condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh which is nothing but an inhamed cou-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for

Silver Men Aggressive.

Though no national campaign is
now pending, in States in which
elections are soon to be held the
advocates of the Tree silver cause
have forced issues involving the
question of bimetalic monetary
standard, to which they have sub
ordinated all matters Of local con-
Germ. Thus confronted, the honest
money men have found it necessary
to take up the financial problem,
and state issues are lost sight Of in a
contest over a purely national ques-
ton. William Jennings Bryan, the
great defeated" is taking hand in
the fight, appealing to all bimetalists
to vote the respective silver tickets,
whether they may have heretofore
been Republicans, Democrats, Pop
ulists, Socialists or anarchists. He
wants them to ignore all other
questions than the one of free silver
until with one mighty and united
effort they shall have elected
him to the Presidency After that,
if they cannot travel together" he
would more easily become reconciled
to their voting with their former
party associates. Whether or not
Mr.. Bryan is aware Of the fact, there
are millions of people in this coun-
try who do not believe that their
prosperity is contingent upon either
his election to the Presidency or
the adoption of a bimetalic stand
ard at the proposed ratio of l6 to /.
We do not complain at the
attitude assumed by the
silver men, for the more thorough
ly this question is discussed and UNI
derstood by the great mass of voters
the stronger will become the honest
money forces.
