Tp to date there has been no de
nial of the existence Of that Demo
cratic slash fund. We have it from
reliable authority that the canh-
datot Oh the Democratic county
ticket were assessed anywhere
from ten dollars to ffty dollars
each. The assessments levied upon
the Congressional. Senatorial and
Judicial candidates augmcntedto as
scssmcnts of the county candidates
makes formidable Doodle fund, it
is said, amounting to something
like 5000. Now what is this money
fora No legitimate expenses Of the
Democratic campaign can possibly
require anything near such & sun
of money, therefore, the bulk Of ii
will, beyond the shadow Of a doubt,
be used to corrupt tho ballot. Re.
peating the old thread5aro asSer
ton that the Republicans have
been guilty of using Doodle funds il
inhucipg NATIONAL elections, doe:
not justify on even qualify the cxis
tence of the local Democratic slusl
fund. The people of Washington
County want an honest election an,
We belle they will have It in spit,

TIE TREATMENT THAT CURES.

The relative merit and efficiency of the TREAT
MENT THAT CURES in comparison with all
other methods and remedies for making more peo'
pie well and restoring them to the full yfgor OF
health is clearly shown by the intelligent char
acter and responsible standing Of the people who
have been cured and are being cured by the mod
ern scientific treatment of Doctors Mccoy and
Cowden. This method of rapidly repairing the It's
sues and building up rundown system is une-
qualed This is not exaggeratiOn in any seIse
of the word but Is being daily demonstrHfed by
the testimony of grateful atisrts whom they have
restored health after all Others had failed
Everybody has been reading of the wonders ac.
conplshed the result of Doctors Mccoy and
Cowden's discoveries. The absolute and assured
cure of Deafness in all its FORMS the radical and
permanent Mastery of Catarrh in all its stages.
the speedy and complete triumph over Asthma.
with all Its agonies and over incipient ConsuBiI-
ton with all its terrors has made this treatment
only famous. hut an object OF intense personal
interest to all classes Of sufferers
Deaf people who constantly reading the story
hearing restored canrot be free from curios
ity o the nature of the new treatment by whicn
this splendid miracle of medicine Is now accom-
plished Nor can the sick who are constantly
reading of the of Catarrh, Asthma and Lung
Diseases he free from similar passion of interest
over the treatment that accomplishes these al
most equally marvellous results

THE DOCTORS PROMISE KEPT.

We present this week the case of Samuel Allen,
5o4 Harrison st. Anacostia, d. c., aged Y years,
who says: II have been deaf from childhood. My
right ear was absolutely stone deaf. With 1t l
could not hear one sound When 1 went to Doctor
Cowden my left ear had become nearly as bad
could not understand ersation at ALL could
not hear any sound except the roar of cannon, n
clap of thunder some equally loud noises 1t
impossible for the people in the house where
/ lived to make me hear anything For years
had been unable hear the preaching In the
church where i attend.
When consulted Doctor Cowden-and only
did so after the people where I lived begged me to.
because they could not make understand was
told by him that he could cure my left ear, and
possibly the right. Doctor Cowden has certainly
is fully restored and the hearing of the right ear
has so improved that / find no difficulty in hear
ing distinctly with 1t.
Il can hear with my left ear every sound as dis
tinctly as i believe it Is possible for any one 70
hear.
The first improvement that I noticed On
the street. when I found that / could hear the
ears. Improvement very rapid and shortly
found that could hear the voices of those talkin.
about Inc. then l began to distinguish words, and
finally clearly understood all that was said. even
years again hear the preaching in church can
hea- the words of scng. can hear the ticking
of q clock hear the ringing of the door
bell I can hear the closing of the door, can hear
the electric cars and even the chirpng of bird.
This marvellous result. this restoring OF my
hearing when all sounds shut out from me.
adds 10 my life more than ever Thought possible.
7 had supposed that must pass my few remaining

victory with the venom of desertion.

Death is Always Near.
Death lies precious close at all times on
board a torpedo boat in war times. The
crew must face death by the destruction of
the boat: death by laundering: death by
the bursting of the throbbng boilers or
pulsing steam pipes: death by collision. OF
death by the premature bursting of their
own Detards. She must face that storm of
light projectiles every modern battle ship
can send from her batteries of one-pound-

must be faced for the safe carriage of
