A Shooting A fray.

Guy Baron. young man of Bladens-
burg was brought to Jail here on Wednes-
day night, charged with shooting and dan
gerously wounding W. H. Keyworth, the
proprietor of the Pan Electric House, in
Bladensburg, that afternoon. The ball
entered Keyworth's right breast and came
out under the right shoulder blade. The
fracas grew out of game of cards at Key
worth's place. Keyworth, according to
to witness, accused Barron of cheating
and ordered him out of the place. The
prisoner returned in a short time and again
went into Keyworth's place. Keyworth
came from the back room and was in the
act of lightinga cigarette, when, it is
charged, Baron drew pistol and fired.
Keyworth started for his pistol and was
intercepted 10y his wife, who managed to
get the weapon from him. He was finally
persuaded to lie on the bed and DR..
Richardson, of that place, was hurriedly
summoned. Late Wednesday night Drs.
Wells and Richardson pronounced the
wound dangerous one, and fears are en-
tertained as to recovery of the patient.

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 constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect 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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an int1amed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Hicks Forecasts For July.

The month promises to come in with
warm weather, falling barometer and gen
eral storm conditions from western sec
tions About Wednesday, 9th, to Satur-
! day, 9th, look first for a very warm wave
falling barometer, ending on and touch
ening storms. Many sections will get at
this time heavy, local downpours of rain
and hail, while many other parts of the
country will have heavy, black storm
clouds, with much violent buster and
storminesS, with little or no rain. Excess
sive heat and the usual abnormal! light
ming and thunder of the Venus distur
bance will precede and attend the storm
areas at this time On and touching the
18th and 18th, the barometer will fall
again, wave of much warmer weather
will pass eastwardly over the country, and
many clustering, threatening storm clouds,
with rain and hail in many localities, may
reasonably be looked for Change again
to coolor weather will be the natural Or
der, until we enter the regular storm pc
Rod central on 18th, the date, also of the
new moon. We name Monday to We'd
nesday, the 18th to 2Oth and Saturday to
Monday the 23rd to 25th, as central dates,
about which the most threatening distur-
Dances are most probably. During all
this part of July many black clouds will
arise, some sections will get showers of
rain and hail but empty blust,r, with
stiff gales and wind, will be the rule in
most parts of the country. A general
rise of the barometer will bring westerly
winds and change to cooler weather about
the end of the Mercury and Venus periods
say about the 25th to 2Sth.
The last regular storm period for July
is central on the Goth covering the last
four or five days of the month As the
results of this period advance from the
west, a low barometer and warm wave
will gradually spread eastward, and
will result in most parts of the country
Local rains will attend this cloudness. in
scattered localities, about the Goth, Both
and 31st, but the country generally,
especially in all western and northwestern
regions, will begin to feel severely the
want of rain by the end of July
The storm diagram shows that the moon
is at her extreme south declination on the
goth, and at perigee on the 31st, being
the second time in July for her to occupy
the positions. Rising barometer follow
ed by cooler, northwesterly winds ought
reasonably to appear at the end Of July
and during the opening days of August
