Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach tn,
diseased portion of the ear. There IL only ont
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is causel by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining CT the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound OF imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely 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 infamed condition of
the mocous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (causod by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

A bicycle attachment designed for
indicating on chart the difference in
the level Of the road over which the
machine is propelled has already
passed into the regular equipment Of
the surveyor. The rider of the bicycle
traverses the roadway which it is re-
quired to plot" on machine equipped
with continuous tape. The length of
the tape indicates the distance trav-
ersed, and the direction is Indicated at
intervals by needle pointing to the
magnetic north, which is stamped on
the tape. A pendulum gives periodic
records Of the grade OF the road. In
this way fairly accurate idea OF the
roadway and the contour of the eoun-
try is obtained. The inventor expects
10 reduce the errors to about l per
cent, but with more expensive instru-
ments he Is sanguine Of securing even
better results. The oscillations due to
bad roads will without doubt be one
OF the greatest troubles in working this
device. The instrument is probably of
somewhat too delicate and compli-
Gated character to be In demand by the
ordinary bicyclist, who will find the
cyclometer more to bis purpose; but
as a scientific instrument for all kinds
of road surveys 1t Is expected to prove
OF considerable value.

the shrewd and infiexible Kruger. The
petitioners appeal to the queen ond

fairs of the Transvaal and secure the
redress Of their grievances. The ques-
ton is not new, of course, but the out
landers were SO disappointed with the
results OF the recent Cape Colony cleo
tons, which failed to give them polit-
ical power in that territory, that they
concluded to make special effort to
overthrow Dutch or Boer supremacy.

There are persistent rumors in Wash
ington political circles that President
Mckinley is favorably considering the
plan Of calling congress to meet in ex-
traordinary session early in October
While no confirmation OF such reports
can be obtained at the white house
there is ample reason for regarding
them as trustworthy. In the ordinary
course Of things the next congress
would not enter upon its duties till the
constitutional date, the first Monday in
December. and that would mean a
shorter session than the great uues-
tons now before the country render
desirable IL not imperative. Neither
party will want congress in session
after the opening OF the national cam
paign OF 1900. and to keep partisan pol
itics out of the discussions as much as
possible 1t is unquestionably expedient
and wise to convene congress in spe-
cial session.
