THE USE OF SHACKLEs.
Mr. Caskie, In reply TO a question as to
his oninion of the use of shackles at the
reformatory. said he could say nothing
of his own experience. The use Of
shackles had been adopted at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Sampson, who thought II
preferable to dungeon or cell confinement.
Mr.. Caskie said, further that SO Tar as
he was concerned he would like TO see
the shackles displaced by something else.
SO far rs ne knew, however. the shackles
were never used as punishment but sole
ly for the purpose of preventing escape.
Mr. Caskie explained the manner In which
boys were committed by the courts, and
told how appeals had been taken in some
cases on the ground that the boys had
been committed TO the reformatory instead
OF to the association by its legal name.
Under these circumstances the associa-
ton could not hold them.
Eavlng satisfied the members on this
question, he was requested by DR.. Win
ston TO state II In his opinion the associa-
ton could not under its charter decide TO
go out OF business, sell its property, and
divide the receipts among its members
Mr.. Caskie replied that he had never con-
sidered such q proposition. Continuing
along this line In reply to other questions.
Mr.. caslie stated that while the associa-
ton had at different times received APP
proprlations from the State TO the amount
OF $4,000, the land which 1t owned had
not been bought with this money The
present debt of the association he placed
at 500 Mr.. Wilson. OF the committee
asked Mr.. Caskie several unimportant
questions. and then, at the request of Mr.
Page. counsel for the association, the wit
ness made further explanation OF the
manner OF considering applications for
discharge. In closing. Mr.. Caskie ex-
planned Mr.. Valentines connection with
the board. and said that he never knew
that he had resigned until he said so be-
fore the committee. II was his impress

The Coast Defences.

One half the number Of improved
cannon, motars and emplacements
will be located and placed in suita-
BILE position ere the expiration of
1898. The Artillery Board is con-
stantly making practical surveys,
so far as these relate to the army,
and the establishment of adequate
military protection of our seaboard,
frequently urged upon the govern
ment by the chambers OF commerce
of our maritime cities, is receiving
a strong reinforcement from this
source. Meanwhile there is a
means of defence from greater
physical calamity which no one
afflicted with nervousness or dys-
pepsia should neglect, and that is
the use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which by restoring the
tone of the nerves and stomach in
vigorates the entire system. 1t
also remedies and prevents malari-
al, kidney and rheumatic ailments,
and cures biliousness and COnstipa-
tion. 1t is a capital appetizer, and
promotes sound repose. Those
who have been cured by it speak in
no uncertain tones as to the effect
iveness of this celebrated medicine
in disease and as a medicinal stim-
ulaut.

And Still They Come

A. n. Barlow, editor OF the Peo'
pies Advocate, Centre Point, who
is the latest prominent Arkansas
Populist to join the Democratic
party, SAYS IN an editorial:
"For twelve years we have stood
as true as steel 10 the PopuIist par
" aud its kindred organizations.
No man has done more valiant SER
vice for reform according to his
ability than We. The change We
have made is not one of principle,
but only of party ahiIiation; and
our reason for this is that we see
no hope for the Populist party to
secure the reforms il advocates
single handed. The Democratic
party is now taking the lead in
these reforms, and by the afiliatior
and cooperation of all the reform
forces it is possible tor us to get
that which we have battled foi
these many years, There is hardly
county in this state in which
Populist can be elected to office
without the assistance of Demo
cratic or Republican votes. A re-
form candidate would stand a muct
better showing tor election by afili
ating with the Democratic party
than by trying to draw Democratic
votes away from the party, Tht
Democratic party is in the race fol
| 1900. The brains and patriotism Of
reform elements are going to sup
port it, too.

Deafness Cannot he 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 caused by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous Inning OF the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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 inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
