Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the dis .sed portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-

you have rumbling so~nd or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed

restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out

Richardson.
The deceased was not communicate
of any religious organization, but he was
an attendant upon the services of the
Presbyterian church oftener than any
other. His charity was broad and gen
erous. He believed in the fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood OF men. He
knew and taught that not all of Christi
anity is found in any one church. His
life was an open book and righteous
living may be called the essence OF belief
He was an exemplary man with faith
rooted in deep and wide knowledge.

surprised to see a donkey in his store.
why are you here p he asked, you
know this is no place for donkey I
am here said the donkey, because |
saw your advertisement on the fence
that surrounds my pasture. I knew
that you, too, must be a donkey or you
would have placed the advertisement
in live newspaper where it would be
read by people, not donkeys. Being a
little lonesome to-day, ] thought I
would be neighborly and call on you.

Took a Free Ride,

Monday forenoon Mr.. Zacharias, Of
Gardea'l drove to Emporium to trans
act business, at noon he tied his team
in front of the Emporium House, and
while eating dinner, a tailor by the
name of Rockafellow, late in the en-
ploy of John Edelman, came along
and united the team and started west,
probably thinking he would go to
Kane, his former home, but when he
reached Bernal Spence's farm at West
Greek, ne tied the horses to tree and
took to the woods. In the meantime
Zacharias had warrant sworn out
and gave it to sheriff Mundy, who
deputized Ed. Strait to serve it, Ed
mounted his scorcher and soon located
the team where Rockafellow had left
it. Mr.. Zacharias having no desire to
prosecute the thief allowed him to 60

essary cost to the county.

Have Resumed Practice.

The familiar strains of the Excelsior
Band were heard issuing from the
City Hall Tuesday evening and upon
inquiry we learned that the boys have
decided to start in again "on their
own hook" and will practice every
Tuesday and Friday evenings, in order
to keep themselves in good trim in
case their services should be needed.
This will be good news to our people
who no doubt will appreciate band
concerts hereafter by giving the boys
encouragement of substantial nature

enterprise and perseverance in trying
to maintain a good musical organiza-
ton in Emporium.

Back From Washington.

Hon. G. w. Stone arrived Thursday
morning from Washington, where he
has been on a special mission in behalf
of the Sixteenth regiment, whose re-
ported condition has aroused much
solicitude among the relatives and
friends of the soldier boys at Porto
Rico.
Congressman Stones high official
standing and popularity gave him ac-
cess to the President, secretary Of war,
surgeon general, quartermaster gen
eral and commissary general.
President Mckinley and Secretary
of War Alger would give no assurance
that the Sixteenth would be mustered
out Of service at present. They stated
that Pennsylvania has already had
more than her proportion Of the regi-
ments already mustered out, and as
the regular army is inadequate for the
present needs, it is probable that those
of the volunteers now abroad for
whose return home no provision has
| already been made, will be required
to remain there.
The heads of none of the depart
ments had any knowledge of the fact
distress existed in the Porto Rican
volunteer army.
The surgeon general stated that
abundant medicine and hospital sup
plies were shipped to the island with
the army of invasion and that there
could be no scarcity in that direction.
The commissary general assured Mr..
| Stone that there could be no ground OF
| complaint regarding the rations. The
| department had provided an abupd-
ance of healthy rations and that if at
| any time the men received Wormy
hard tack or pork, upon complaint OF
an officer the issue could be exchanged
and the government would return the
defective goods to the parties to whom
| they were purchased. He was further
| advised that stoves and -four had been
sent to the army and that by this time
! they are eating fresh bread. At tho
suggestion of Mr.. Stone he consented
to cablegram at once and order an in.
vestigation of the complaints made.
Should any Irregularities exist in is
probably that they will now receive
! prompt attentiOn.-W Warren Mirror.

A Terrible Catastrophe.

The most appalling accident that has
happened on the Philadelphia & Erie
r. r., for years, occurred at North
Bend last Friday morning, when Erie
mail jumped the track at the tannery
switch below the bridge at Young
womans Creek, resulting in the death
of engineer John Butler, of Harrisburg,
and the injury of fireman Ira Kutz,
baggage master DeVictor, and express
messenger Stanley Crossmire, all of
Harrisburg, besides completely wreck
ing engine No. 1868, formerly No 2106.
The train was one hour late at
Williamsport and when it reached the
place of the accident it had made up
twenty minutes. 1t is stated that the
train was running at speed of fifty
miles an hour at the place where the
accident happened and when the
wheels of the locomotive struck the
frog of the switch she left the track
without the last bit of warning. The
tender was thrown over the top of the
engine, the combination baggage and
express car was turned end over end
and laid on the south side of the track
and the mail car was found on the
north side of the track, lying fiat on
its side. The smoker and day coach
did not leave the road bed, and this
fact alone accounts for the miraculous
escape of the passengers, among whom
were Messrs. B. w. Green and Josiah
Howard, of this place.
The passengers, baggage, mail and
express were brought to Remove on a
special and from there were trans
ported through to Erie on made up
train.

Three Boys Drown.

Mr.. Hamilton Fish, of Hammersley's
Forks, was in town last week. He gave
particulars of sad drowning accident,
which occurred there on Wednesday.
Three boys, aged from 5 to years, of
Polish families, were swimming in
Kettle Greek at the point where the
stream from Cross Forks empties into
that stream. No one saw the boys go
into the stream nor saw them while
bathing.
Mr.. ee Linhardt, while crossing the
bridge on the Goodyear railroad, on
looking down into the creek, saw what
he supposed was human body. Cast
ing his eyes on the shore, he saw the
clothing of the children. Surmising
that some one had lost their life by
drowning, he called to assistance men
who reside in that vicinity. They pull
ed out the body of one child and after
a further search soon found the other
two bodies. Two of the boys belonged
to one family and were brothers of a
child that was buried about two months
ago. When the mother was informed
that her remaining two boys had been
drowned she acted wildly and attempt
to drown herself She was rescued,
however, and close watch is now be-
ing kept over her.
Two other children were drowned at
the same place about two years ago.
