IT'S ALL Up WITH HUNTER
Vote on Fourth Joint Ballot shows a Going
to Pieces.

Louisville. KY, March pa special
from Frankfcr: says: There was little or
no excitement attendant upon the fourth
joint ballot for United StateS senator to-
day. The Hunter people realized from
the start that their man had no chance

key TO the situation. Senator Linney.
who is an aspirant for public printer and
who is one Of the BOXERS, said this morn
ing that Hunter had promised him any
thing within the gift of the president il
he would vote for him. Linney declined.
A resolution was offered by Representa-
tive Snigiitz 10 adjourn the general as
sembly to Louisville on account of re-
ported smallpox in the penitentiary. II
will not be passed, as there is 70 truth
in the runor.
When the ballot was taken il was
found that Hunter had only ffty-six
votes, the Democrats and boiling Repub-
licans declining to answer 10 their names.
This was not quorum, and the session
stood adjourned.
The Democrats and the boiling Repub-
licans refused to answer to their names
because of rumor that gaired currency
shortly before the hour Of the joint ses-
sion. 1t was to the effect that the Hun
ter men, desperate over their failure to
eject their man, had deliberately enter
ed into pairs with number of Demo-
Gratis with the avowed intention of
breaking them when the ballot was TAX
er. To prevent any such action the OPP
position declined to answer. There were

today's ballot. The crisis is expected 20
come ON any of the first three days of
next week. and an election by Wednes-
day is being generally considered as GER
tain. Or. Hunters chances are rot i'm

some talk that on or possibly two gold

of substituting a new candidate is caus-

combination.

Mrs. JOSEPHINE PoLHILI.

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
5. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its fortunes.
She says:
For years I was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that / ever
heard of. 1 was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
The trouble became so deep-seated
that / was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, includ-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. It
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable. and
told me / would never be any better.
Reading Of many similar cases be.
Ing cured by s. S. s., determined to
try it as a last resort. / soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only blood remedy
could cure it. I began 10 improve at
once, and grew better as l continued
TO take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment l was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease
Catarrh is one OF the deep-seated
o!ood diseases, and only thorough
oiooo remedy will have any effect
upon It. ). S. s. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed

Deaf
From Catarrh,

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only d
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped RENE
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, etc, is but d SUI
perhcial and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.
