In presenting the case of Chas. :. Miller aged
eight years, of S. St Patrick Street, Frederick,
Nd. Doctor Cowden wishes 10 particularly cali the
attention OF parents to the necessity of having
any defect in hearing of their children looked
after and corrected before the disease has taken
such firm hold that they may be incapacitated
for study and be compelled 10 leave school. Many
pupils who are naturally bright backward in
their studies and considered dull by their
teachers because their hearing is detective and
they are unable TO catch the many important
thoughts that constantly coming up That
this misfortune is cured by Doctor COTden's
treatment is proven by the following case:
His parents, in speaking Of the case, said;
About three years ago We began to notice that
Ch9ries's hearing was beginning to be affected,
but, he had Just passed throught attack Of
measles. and some months later attack Of
scarlet fever, we did not pay much attention 70 It,
thinking il only natural result Of The diseases
But, as ii grew constantly worse and We noticed
he could not hear ordinary conversation. not
even being able 10 hear conversation az
meals, we became worried Up0n questioning
him, we found he suffered constantly from head
aches, pains in the ears. dizziness. and
vertigo. He seemed TO lose all interest in things
which before he had taken great delight in. and
became so dull that friends remarked the change.
His progress in school became very slow, his
teacher having 10 call him up 10 her chair in
order to instruct him. and had remarked his dull
ness. His appetite fIiled him; he JOughed very
much; his nostrils became clogged his ears dis
charged; In fact, he complained iucessaBtly-
Finally, We were induced by a friend who was
taking treatment Of Doctor Cgvden 10 place
Charles under the doctors care with results emf
nently satisfactory. His hearing j now perfect,
being able to hear all ordinary conversation. Ills
headaches, dizziness, pains in the ears and cough
have gone His appetite is perfect. His interest
in things in general has returned. His teacher
has spoken enthusiastically Of his brightness and
progress in school We cannot speak too highly
Of Doctor CoWden's treatment. and would most
earnestly uIge all parents whose children sui

Didn't Have a Fair Chance.

The naval militia is probably as good as the
land militia 1t takes time to make a first-class
fighting force out of either, but they form as
good raw material as exists on earth Reports
that condemn either branch of our militia upon
the record of service during the war with Spain
are unfair. for neither the volunteer soldier nor
sailor had a chance to show his martial ca
paci.y. He proved his patriotism, however, in

MONTGOMERY'S CANDI-

Mr.. H. B. Kinsolving received
enthusiastic endorsement Of his
home county las represented in
the Delegate Convention on Sat
urday) for Congressman from this,
the Tenth District.
When a telegram was read dur,
ing Saturd avs convention that
Wolfe county had endorsed our
home candidate a rousing cheer
went up for both the Democracy
of Wolfe, who had shown their
good will to and appreciation Of
Montgomery's candidate as well as
Mr.. Kinsolving himself.
Montgomery county presents
her candidate to the District and
asks the representatives of the
several counties who are to meet
at West Liberty on Thursday to
name him for Standard Bearer for
the Democracy for this Congress
Gonal District. In presenting to
the District Mr.. Kinsolving,
Montgomery has no hesitancy in
promising that if he Is nominated
that there will be a most aggres-
&Ve campaign waged against the
opposing party. Mr.. Kinsolving
10 not only fluent and pleasing
spator, but a well posted and
forceful debater who will make
things very warm for the Repub-
lican who meets him on the stump.
Montgomery asks for her candi-
date the endorsement Of the Con-
vention. He will do the rest.

thus far received from the county
conventions Is too meAger to give Z
forecast Of the result. Our home
candidate, Mr.. Kinsolving, seems tc
have fully as good chance for the
nomination as any one who will BE-
before the Convention. In fact, II
there 10 any truth in rumored action
OF several Of the counties, Kinsolving
has most excellent chances OF landing
the plum. So far as reliably reported
we can give the following.
Montgomery instructs for Kinsolv-
ing.
Menefee instructs for Kinsolying.
Wolfe gives lie vote to Kinsolving.
Morgan county will send q contest
ing delegation. Two conventions
were held. II was Fitzpatrick VS..
Sublett, Kinsolving and Garner.
Lee instructs for Pollard first, Gar
ner second. M
Clark goes for Garner.
So far as heard from Kinsolving
has 16 instructed votes.
The following is the vote by coun-
ties of the Tenth District as based on

STOP THIS NEGRO SCRAP.
PING.

Many Of the good citizens OF
the city are registering a strong
protest against the boxing con-
tests that have been going on be-
tween some negro scrappers here
Of late. These prize ring exhibi,
tons are clearly in violation OF
both the letter and the spirit of the
law and our officials are called
upon to see that the disgraceful
affairs are stopped. All the worst
phases of the regular prize ring
are exhibited at these so-called
athletic contests.
These affairs are not only a dis
grace to the town, but are de-
moralizing our young men. For
the good name Of our city, if not
for common ;decency's sake, let
US have no more Of these contests.
We respectfully call the atten-
ton of the Mayor and City
Fathers to these athletic con.
tests (9) and ask that they give the
matter their attention.
