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- uonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets fnfiamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, 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 VIII give One Hundred Dollars for aur case of deafness fCaused by catGTrt that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir cularg free.

ed In Disaster.
 "That billygoat the boys had for a mascot on the New York; remarked the paymaster's clerk, Suggests mon- key that my father used to tell me about that they had on frigate in the times before the war. This monkey the sailors had picked up somewhere in the Indian ocean countries.
 The ship was stationed in the China ports for a year, and during that time the monkey was the light and joy of the whole crew. When the Fourth of July came around, permission was ask ed from the harbor authorities of the port where they were to fire salute, and preparations were made for doing it in style. The regular salute was fired. and then it was proposed that the crew sing The Star Spangled Banner and fire a gun for chorus. The gun was load pd and everything was left ready while the crew went to the main deck, where something to drink the health of the nation was to be served before the song was sung, and the gunner was to be sent back to shoot Cf the chorus.
 "The programme was carried out to the letter. Then the men scattered, and somebody thought of the monkey. But he was not to be found. The cook hadn't seen him, nor had the cooks boy, nor would he respond to any of the calls that usually brought him flying. What t-1 h7o----- -e l--~~ ->@ ~->0 l--,~vv --.,+il

Corn Damage Reports Ignored.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7-The conditions in the wheat
pit today were somewhat contradictory, and
both bulls and bears had something to encour-
age them. Liverpool cables came lower and
prices here started Ac below last nights close.
Adyices from the northwest were that the
movement up north would be heavy for the
next GO to 80 days. In consequence Of that
traders sold heavily of December, and that
month ruled lower. while September held
strong and higher. December started Agssc
down at 6o1ag60ssc, sold up to 6o2sc, settled
back to 6Ol4c.
The sentiment among traders in corn was
that the damage to the crop by frost would not
amount to much. For time the selling was so
pronounced that prices quickly dropped of
nc. Later, however, the market firmed up to
within q fraction of the initial price on heavy
buying orders from houses with country con-
nections. December began 14c lower at 30]2g
3OsSc declined to SOC, then recovered to $500
3OLc.
Oats ruled fairly steady.
Provisions developed a strong tone on heavy
buying by packing houses and covering by
