Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by ~constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumoling sound or impeI feet
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hunered Dollars for any
case OF deafness lcaused by catarrhl that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol-
circulars, free.

"OLD SPORT" CAMPANA.
Refused Marriage License in Chicago
 the Other DaV

Refused a Marriage License in Chicago
 the Other Day.
 Many people hereabouts remember "Old Sport" Campana, whose reputa- tion as professional pedestrian Is worldwide and many will be interest," ed to know of his whereabouts. He used to be familiar figure at the Dan- bury fair and at Savin Rock. He has been in Chicago for some years now, and is engaged in peddling. chewing gum. His life has been full of exciting adventures, but the influence of the Windy City must have had a soothing effect, for dispatches from the west state that "Old Sport is desirous of embarking on the matrimonial sea again. With this end in view he called upon an official in Chicago a day or two since. The vender of chewing gum was boisterous when he deposited his fee at the clerks window and loudly proclaimed his intention of marrying Edith Foster. The clerk refused to grant the favor of a license, and told Sport" if he would send his fiance to the office he would grant her a license. This aroused the ire of the old man, and he became furious, threatening to make trouble and abusing the officials. T am sixty-nine years old" he shout ed, and I guess I know what I want" After some persuasion he consented to leave the office. Whether he will again attempt to procure the preliminary li- cense to wed or not, can only be con- jectured, but unless he has outgrown his old time stubbornness the Chicago officials are in for a. siege of trouble.
