SCOTS seat will be contested by his
democratic opponent. McGraw, on
the ground that two of the men who
voted for Scott were Ineligible swn-

missions in the volunteer army of
the United States. The chances are
that Scott will be given his seat.
The word will be passed around
that ''millionaires must stand to

in the senate if the case against him
were ten times as strong asst is. A

London, Jan. Pa serious ques
ton has arisen between the English
and the Russian Governments. The
latter, ignoring the paragraph in the
Anglo-Egyptian convention promul
gated last week prob biting the
presence of foreign consular officials
IN the Soudaa save by the consent
OF England, has just appointed four
consular Officials to take up their
residence in the Soudan on the
alleged ground that the imperial
government attaches importance to
an accurate knowledge of the politi
cal and com nercial development in
the Soudan.
The English Government has
already intimated that it desires
neither foreign consuls nor even
in the Soudan until
Lord Kitchener has had time to
the government of this vast
African empire.
1t is not impossible that Rus sia's
action has for its object to briug the
entire Egyption question on tie

driven Spain out. Are we to take
the place of Spain in tyrannizing

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. 1here is only one way
TO- cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Gus
tachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's, normal condi-
ton, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh,. which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that can not be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

with it will come an influx

Besides being a duty we can
not afford to neglect to keep
the city in good sanitary con-
dition. Clean streets and al
leys, and the abatement of
all stenches are attractive
features which should not be
overlooked. Besides abating
nuisances, it would also be
an excellent idea for as many s
