TRIP TO ROCKY COMFORT.

Yesterday the editor of this pa
per made a business trip to Rocky
Comfort, and heard the speech
made by Congressman Thos. c. Nc
Rae, who is now winding up his
canvass of the district. Speech
was replete with sound Democracy,
and entertaining, as it treated upon
up-to.date political matters. Dwelt
at some length upon the necessity
of free silver coinage, and stated
that this would be the main issue
upon which the battle of 1900 would
be fought; that he thought Nc
Kinley and Bryan would again be
their party nominees. Referred to
to the honorable war just ended,
and adylsed against expansion to
the extent of taking the Philippine
Islands, said it would entail a much
larger public debt, and require an
addition to our standing army of
| so, 900 soldiers for them. Opposed
the annexing of Hawaii, for the
same reason. Advocated the build
ing of the Nicaraguan Canal, by
the government alone; opposed
bonded aid to private corpora
tien for canal. In winding up
thanked the people for their kindly
support in the primary. Speech
was well received by the small audi
ence; farmers are so busy caused

New Rocky Comfort is on the
| Arkansas & Choctaw Ry,, 16 miles
northwest of Ashdown, and about
one mile from the old town, nearly
all merchants haYe built good store
houses and moved to the new towr
but two stores remain at the ole
town, we learn. Although there
was not a single building in exist
ence September 1st, there are somt
twelve or fourteen well built stores
there now, some of them contain
ing large stocks of general merch
andise. Three or four residences
are now going up, and many others
will follow. Town is destined to bt
one of the best in Little River
county. We spent day quite pleas
antly there. Met a number of ole
friends, among them, Messrs. A. M
and H. E. Hawkins. To them anC

On account of the low price OF
cotton the Arkansas Midland rail
road has made reduction in its
tariff on cotton equal to about thirty
per cent. Every little helps and
this reduction will no doubt be ap-
preciated by the farmers and coun-
try merchants. There are some
people who criticise railroads, and
there are those who say and belieye
corporations are constituencies and
soulless, but occasionally there is
evidence to the contrary. Helena

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they canuot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is infamed you haye a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and useless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tuqe restored to its normal

Great Rain, Hail and Thunder

Last night was a 'lula," when
speaking of a rain storm for Octo-
Der. After twilight had set in, the
heavens in the north and southwest
began to shoot out great streaks of
lightning with low mutterings of
thunder, and this continued until
about eight o'clock, when the
storm burst upon the city, and it
was no baby rain either, that fell,
1t just came down in torrents, ac-
companied by hail and wind, and
for fully an hour the storm ragged
with an accompaniment of sheet
lightning, that lent the storm
grandure.
This morning there are evidences
that the rain as a gutter washer
and bridge litter, was a grand suc'
cess. We had rather not see just
such another rain until we have
our storm house completed and in
sured against wind, fire and water

Providence Opera House.

Joseph Haworth, who is today inquest
ionaby the leading exponent we have in
this country OF the Shakesperian drama,
is to make a supplementary spring tour Of
the principal New England cities, pro-
ducing a repertoire OfShakesperian plays.
Among others to be presented will be
Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.
His presentation OF the last named play
is an announcement that will be received
with great pleasure. 1t is seldom Of late
years that this tragedy has been presented
outside OF a. few Of the largest cities,
owing to the lack OF actors capable of
correctly interpreting one of the greatest
and most difficult roles in the entire cate
CORY of the great bard's pays. 1t was one
Of Mr.. Haworth's most successful roles
when he was jointly starred with Madame
Modjeska, and he never failed to carry off
the honors when this play, which was
the principal feature Of their tour, was
presented. The sale OF seats for this en-
gagement opens at the Providence Opera
House box office, Friday morning, and
judging from the many inquiries that
have been made during the short time
that Mr.. Haworth's appearance here has
been announced, there will be such an ad-
vance demand for seats that it will be
well to secure them we'll in advance.

The Strange Disease Which Attacks Loco
motive Engineers.
Railway surgeons are learning many
new facts in regard to the physical re-
quirements of railway employees, said
j. X. Matson of Chicago at the Southern.
Recently the railway surgeons of
the United States held national con-
vention in Chicago, and one night
heard an interesting chat in the lobby
of hotel by some OF them. The uni
versal opinion among them was that it
is just as important that the ears of
railroad employees, and particularly
the ears of locomotive engineers, should
be scientifically tested for natural or ac-
quired defects as that their eyes should
be tested for possible color blindness.
Whistle deafness is now common
disease among railroad employees.
Many railroad accident could be traced
to this peculiar whistle deafness if
the truth were known. This disease
makes the ear of locomotive engineer
sensitive to the sounds by which he is
Immediately surrounded, but entirely
deaf to sounds of all other kinds
1.-The same condition is often OBJ
served among boiler makers, who can
hear slight noises when the air is laden
with the clatter of hammers upon iron
plates, while they are insensible to the
same sounds in quiet surroundings. Lo-
com olive engineers sometimes have de-
fective ears that can detect slight sounds
indicating imperfect working of the ma
chinery, even while the bell is ringing
or the whistle blowing or both are in
use. A locomotive engineer thus affiict-
ed should be relieved of duty for awhile
until tho ear has recovered its normal
condition, enabling it to discriminate
between sounds according to their exact
relative volume, pitch and intensity.
