cellence Of his fret attempt, he will

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets 1nhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
hammation a 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 in
famed condition of the mucou sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) THAT cannot be cured byHalls

Albert Kennen, Jr.
Erop, tho T o1Hnpfo Herald


Albert, little son of Attorney E. O.
Kennen, is a boy of much curiosity OF
his age. Something over a year ago
he swallowed a fence staple which
caused much anxiety to his parents,
but the little fellow escaped any seri-
GUS results from it. On last Monday
Albert secured a shot gun cartridge
and slipped it into the stove in order
to find out how the Spaniards blew up
the battle ship Maine, an account OF
which he doubtless had heard. The
explosion which followed blew the
lids off the stove, burned his eyebrows
and lashes and badly burned his face
and eyes. 1t is thought his sight will
be all right in a few days. The suppo-
sition is that he extracted the shot
from shell before placing it in the
stove, otherwise the result might have
been more serious.

other. But we must have the saloons.
We will rave our boys by "crying for
them" after they are ont Of reach Of
human aid. DonnelIy said he had no
hard feelings toward anyone.
While we were there the sweetheart
of one Of the convicts called to see
him. he was Q fellow We happened
to know something Of. His name lie
Gray and helwas sent to the pen from
our old hon3e, Macon City, Mo-, for
using the money Of the bank in which
he held q fine position. He got to
gambling In wheat, . very popular
gambling, you know, and now he ia
reaping the result. But don't say
anything about it; You might hurt
some ones feelings who lie yet on the
outside. Don't even warn one Of the
dangerous habit. Let him alone until
he gets where you can't reach him
and then sfcry for him."
Gray Ia very handsome and was a
popular young fellow. He had a
bright future and stood high in the
ssbest" society. But this "best'' soci-
ETY. vas seriously shaken mp one day
by the announcement that "Gray had
used the banks money" He was
allowed to talk to his girl in the Office
q while; then he must be taken to his
cell and be shut out from the world
and all its pleasures. Poor man! BE
had heard the church bells ring, tell
Ing him that "tis religion that gives
sweetest pleasures while we live," bat
he would not heed.
The saddest case In the penitentiary
is that of Convict Johnson. He is
the convict who tried to burn the
penttentiary down q half q score OF
years ago. He has been in solitary
confinement for 1Oor 10 years. Think
of It'll It is incomprehensible. Twelve
years in a dungeon! Twelve years
away from mankindl o death, the
poor mans dearest friend, why wilt
thou not cheer this man with thy
presence? 1t lie the opinion Of some
that he has long ago lost his mind.
All the ministers appeared to be
very much impressed with their visit,
We all came back to Cedar City, ate
our supper, had an old-time Methodist
meeting that night and departed fol
our respective homes next morning,
feeling that
