1T is A co

MASURY'S RAILROAD PAINT IS
Nl A GO. I am selling lots of it. 1t
is selling because it is good. It is good
because it is prepared with the greatest
care by the manufacturers whose name it
bears, and who believe that good name
is a handsome legacy for their children.
Every ounce of it is credit to hon
est labor and the highest testimonial
to the scientific achievement Of JOHN
w. MASURY. Buy it, use it and you
will have full value for your money.
1t is just as good for inside work as it is
for outside, and you will find that by put
ting it side by side of any paint that has
ever been used on this market, that
MASURY'S WILL STAY while the
others will go away. 1t can be had in any
color, shade and tint, and it will always
give satisfaction. For further informa-
ton see me. Paint Sl.25 and oil As cents.
Brushes of all sizes and at all prices.
If you are thinking Of painting, and you
ought to be, you should use Masury's
Railroad Paint. It will give better satis-
faction and cost less than other paints.
Masury's paint never becomes an eyesore
and the rightside is always turned to the
weather. T.'B. McCLAIN.

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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intiamed 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 infiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

he will take prompt action under directions
already given him.
1T Is the invariable practice in case of
this kind for the consul general to get all
the facts Immediately. 1t is his duty to as
certain the charges against Mr.. Scovel. No
matter how serious the accusations may
be, General Lee will suggest to the Spanish
authorities that # the prisoner will leave

If the authorities shall not agree to that
1t would be Gen. Lees duty to fully advise
the department. specifying the charges
against Mr.. Scovel and reporting expulsion
was not accepted.
I'm the meantime he must ascertain the
prisoners whereabouts, make certain that

see that he is afforded every opportunity
to secure counsel to defend him.
IF the department is notified that grave
charges have been made against a citizen
of the United States and that his life is in
Jeopardy special instructions will be given
to cover the case.
Il am not in the slightest degree appre-
