Deafness. Carnot 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 CONSTITUTE, nal remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case IF deafness (caused by catarrh)

A Novel Invention.

A st. Paul man has patented a need
ed garment for the Klondike Region.
The invention consists of pair Of
overalls, or trousers, equipped with
weather-proof padding on the knees
and seat. The padding is made of a
waterproof, cushioning material, and is
an integral part of the garment, pro-
tecting the knees and seat from undue
exposure. Miners, in prospecting and
mining, find it necessary to kneel along
the edges Of streams in looking for
signs of the precious metal, and, when
tired, sit upon the wet ground OF damp
rocks or logs. If ordinary garments
are worn, the constant contact with
damp surfaces is the cause Of great dis
comfort, and frequently results in
colds, rheumatism and other diseases.

The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.

And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now, don't you go till I come" he said,
Ana don't you make any noise!"

He dreamt of the pretty toys.

But the little toy friends are true.
Aye faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile Of little face
And they wonder. as waiting these long
years through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.

 Concerning the first report the Secretary would only say that from the information re- ceived by the department it was believed that Admiral Cervera has entered the har- bor of Santiago de Cuba with his fleet. The earliest report made to the department by Admiral Sampson upon his arrival at KeyWest embraced the intelligence that the mag azines of certain of his ships were in need of replenishing, having been depleted during the bombardments in which the vessels had been en- gagged.
 Subsequently, by an ex- change of dispatches, it was developed that by a redistri- button of the shells of cer- tain calibers among the ves- sels of the fleet only a few of the larger sizes would be lacking and could be pro- cured at Key West without delay. Hence the depart ment does not expect that Admiral Sampson will remain more than tWenty-four hours off the Florida coast.

 If Cervera means either to sail to Havana or to offer bat tie to Sampson's fleet, for it is believed he has been ad- vised from Madrid to-day of the whereabouts of the Amer ican squadron, his shortest course would be to steam westward along the Cuban coast and attempt to force a passage through the Yucatan
