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 inflamed con-
dtion OF the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachan Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-
tlrely 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 for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but m In
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by ca

yet here is the Moundsviiie Herald on
the one hand blindly announcing itself
as ready to go with the Gazette into

Tho Infnlliblc Man.

There was n man who never made
a blunder In his life:
He loved a girl, but was afraid
II she became his wife
That he or she might rue tho day
That brought them bliss, and so
He put the happiness away ,s
That welded lovers know.
Ono day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
That led to fame, but. still afraid.
Drew back and stole away:
He Stunned the winding paths that led
To distant, unseen ends,
And kept the road that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
At last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way:
In garments that were badly fraycd
And pale and starved he lay;
No weeping friend bent DER him there,
Nor servant. child nor wife;
But victory was hls-he nc'er
Had Numbered In his life.

4 Pingrcc Experiment.

Governor PlIgree, sometimes irrever-
emily spoken OF as Potato" PIngree. Is
good deal of genius in politics, and
is to be respected for his earnestncss
and his phIlanthrophy. His latest
scheme is about to have trial. and 1t,
Is nothing more than municipal owner
ship Of street railways. Through his
efforts the Michigan legislature has
passed law enabling Detroit to ac-
quire by purchase the property OF the
railways of that city.
The law provides that the city council
may appoint a commission to appralse
and purchase the roads and operate
them. II the commission can not agree
upon price to be paid for the proper
ties. with the present owners, then ap-
peal Is to be made to the courts for an
appraisal Of their value.
The city council OF Detroit has voted
to do what the law authorizes. and 1t
has appointed Governor Plngree as n
member of the commission OF three to
which the duty OF carrying out the ex-
pertinent has been entrusted.
The experiment will be watched with
great interest both by those who favor
municipal ownership In properties OF
this character. and those who have 1T
tie faith In the efficacy OF such
schemes.
As far as Wheeling has experimental
in this line the city gas works has
proven an unqualified success. Those
who can remember the burdcnsome gas
bills when the works were run by cor
porntion can testify to the easement Of
the charges. besides the Improvement In

EXTRA SESSION TALK.
The Prospect Now Considered Decid
edly Probable.

The Prospect Now SOnsluereu Deciu-
ediy Probable.
A number of the best-informed men in
Congress, who have heretofore regarded an
extra session Of Congress as Improbable
exprsss the opinion today that there is a
very decided prospect that the F1fty-siXth
Congress will be called together soon after
the close of this session. If the intention
to put the army bill in front Of the several
remaining appropriation bills for considera-
ton in the Senate is adhered to, 1t is not
improbable that the consequence VIII De
the failure of some Of he appropriation
bills, sven though the army bill were thus
forced through. The fight over the army
bill will be protracted and intense, ana II
is not the purpose of the administration to
sanction any compromise.
On the one hand, an extra session Is
threatened il the bill, practically as II Is
is not adopted; and on the other hahd the
opposition profess to feel no rear OF an
extra session Some members OF pota
houses Want an extra session. and most or
them go at least as far as to express In
difference t. a warning of danger OIL nav
ing to be rea assembled.
The opinion Is expressed by some OF the
most careful observers that the adminlstra-
ton is more than half inclined toward an
extra session If the responsibility Tor It's
being called should rest upon the minority
While there Is some objection to calllng
Congress together at an unusual time ior
the sole purpose of considering and acting
on financial measures, the fact that 1t
would promote desired currency leglsla-
ton causes the prospects of an extra ses-
sion to be looked upon with complacency
by the strongest friends of the administra-
tion The authorization by the House re-
publican caucus of a committee to organ
, ize the forces for currency legislation was
suggested originally with a view to the
possibility of extra session.
If the President were more iDdisposed to-
ward an extra session the chances are that
he would be willing to accept a compro-
mise on the army bill; but, with a recoS-
nized sentiment of some influence In favor
of fastening the meeting Of the Fifty-sixth
Congress there is not the usual motive to
compromise.

The weather has moderated generally east
Of the Mississippi, except in New York. New
England, eastern Virginia, southern Mary

bic feature of the Atlantic coast tempera-
lures OF the last three days has been the
remarkably low reading at Washington,
where the minimum has been degrees be-
low, degrees below and 10 degrees below
zero, the Iasi reading being the lowest ever
recorder by the Washington weather bu-
reau offics. Equally noteworthy was the
low temperature which continued during the
10th, when the maximum was but degrees
above ze1o, giving the lowest daily mean
temperature, degrees below zero, on rec
ord for Washington. second cold wave,
with remarkably high barcmetric pres
sure, overspread the already extremely cold
west ana northwest states Friday night,
carrying the temperature to 40 degrees be-
low zero at Wiliiston. n. d.; 10 i6 degrees
below zero at Denver, &c degrees below zero
at Omaha, and l6 to % degrees below zero
in Kansas
During tonight and Sunday a rise in tenn
perature of 20 degrees or more will occur
in the middle Atlantic and New England
districts, attended by increasing eioudipess
and probably snow. The western cold wave
will extend over the Mississippi valley and
the west gulf states, carrying the line of
zero temperature into Texas, Arkansas and
western Tennessee, and giving freezing
temperature to the immediate west gulf
coast.
Following the temporary rise in tempera-
coast districts during the next thirty-six
hours, period of colder weather may be
expected, which will continue until about
the middle of the coming week In the CEN
tral valleys and the lake regions the mini
mum temperature Sunday promises to equal

OUR STATUS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Now the Same as When the Protocol
Was Signed.


The question is being asked with much
frequency: What is the exact status OF
the UEited States In the Pbilippines?" In
order to answer 1t once for all the question
was propounded to one of the most exalted
legal authorities in America He says:
"The status of the United States in the
Philippines is precisely the same now as it
was when the protocol was signed. The
real sovereignty over the islands in an in
ternational sense stil reposes in Spain, but
the actual sovereignty is in the United
States. To show this simply 1 will give
you an illustration. A. man owns piece
OF ground and agrees to sell it to you at
certain time, perraitting you during the
interval to enter upe and occupy the prem
ises. The legal title still rests in him, but
you are the actu Il possessor under the
agreement and as such have perfect right
TO prevent any trespass upon the property
by outsiders. That is precisely our status
in the Philippines. The real sovereignty
Will not pass to US until the treaty is finally
ratified, Just as he legal title in the prop
erty mentioned would not pass to you until
the owner execrted deed"
