Louisville Commercial: There are call
tngs and ca1lings open to both men and
women by which they can gain a IiveIt-
hood, but when 1t comes to the "old conf
dcnce game as n means of living, the
men must step back and take off their
hats to the women. Te be sure, there are
not as many women up to this racket"
as there are men, but those who are know
ing ones are geniuses at the business.
They could make a killing where nine
con men out of ten would have to eth

You will?" she answered eagerly. "All
right. just wait here II minute"
She left the store, and going to the other
place.. she asked the head clerk to show
her a table cloth of the kind she had seen
at the other store. 1t was priced at s., but
this did not daunt her. She said:
They tell me over at So-rnd-So's that II

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

There is only one way TO cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
bearing, and When it is entirely closed
Illumination can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing

THE WORLDS WHEAT
The Smallest Crop Harvested fol
Six Years

CHICAGO, March 28lThe Times
Herald's Washington special says: The
worlds wheat crop for 1896 is 2, ,42S, ,393, 900
bushels.
This fact will be officially announced
by the secretary Of agriculture in re-
port to be issued this week.
Although the total wheat crop is 49,
900. 900 bushels less than in 1895, 1t Is
larger than what the earlier es-
Inmates have indicated. This is largely
due to an increase of 100000 bushels
in European Russia, as shown in the
final estimates of the central statistical
bureau over the November estimate of
the minister of agriculture Of that coun-
try.
The crop for 1896 is the smallest for
six years. Regarding the distribution
of the wheat crop of the United states
for 1896 the report will state: The in
crease in price which began in the fall
of 1896 80 stimulated sales that many
parts of the country are now left with
only sufficient for seed.
All sections report an exceptionally
! small percentage on hand, the general
average being 206 against 1858 vast year
and showing but $4,000, 600 bushels In
farmers hands March 1. Unusually Ut

A larger proportion than usual mus

average percentage so retained is 49,

ments to export were weaker.

DRAWS THE LINE
Nevada's Governor Does Not Favor
Lottery Schemers

CARSON, New, March 2S.-The town
was elated this morning when the papers
suggesting the establishment of lot
terry in Nevada arrived. The PROPOSE
tfon was discussed here two years ago,
but met with dissatisfaction from sll
quarters, as it was never fully under
stood. An effort to pass bill through
the legislature was made, bur was not
pushed energetically, and the scheme
was retained a secret by its promoters
until after the legislative effort failed.
Many people expressed their approba-
ton on the subject today, and said thar
they would exert every power to en-
courage such a measure. The report
was rife that Governor Sadler would
call an extra session OF the legislature
to consider the matter, and that he had
given his promise 10 Dan Stuart to DO
so. The governor was questioned this
afternoon and said that the affair had
never been suggested to him.
would you call an extra session of the
legislature If poular clamor demanded
it?" he was asked.
IT should not" he retorted, under
justice to the people of my state The
expense would be an unnecessary bur-
den for them to bear, and the agitation
would be simply a matter of small mo-
ment to me. If they wish any lottery in
Nevada they will wait for two years
more, when the legislature will meet in
regular session.
