Judge Grace, of Jefferson county, has declared unconstitution the act passed by the last general assembly designed to suppress the illegal sale of liquors, and providing for the seizure and destruction of the same when found in prohibited districts. By this act any judiciai officer, upon his own or that of others given to him that spirituous liquors have been shipped to any prohibition district to be sold contrary to law, may issue warrant directed to any police officer him to search for, and upon finding such liquors to publicly destroy the same. Judge Oracle ruled that the law is unconstitutional in that it permits the confscation of personal property without due process of law.

LETTER TO MRS PTnKHAM NO. ra-1,l
 "I am very grateful to you for your kindness and the interest you have taken in me, and truly believe your medicines and advice are worth more to a woman than all the doctors in the world. For years had female troubles and did nothing for them. Of course I became no better and finally broke down entirely. My troubles began with inflammation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb and inflammation of ovaries.
 "I underwent local treatment every day for some time; then after nearly two months the doctor gave me permis. sion to go back to work. Iwent back. but in less than week was com. pelled to give up and go to bed. On breaking down the second time, I de- cided to let doctors and their medicine alone and try your remedies. Before the first bottle was gone felt the eff. fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of her Sanative Wash did mo more good than all the doctors treat ments and medicine.
 "The first remark that greets me now is How much better you lookr and you may be sure never hesitate to tell the cause of my health. ."-MRs. B. ]. GooDEN, ACKIEY, IA.

THE ICE MACHINES PART.
At Lnst There Has Been a New Fca- ture Introduced Into Uncle
 Toms Cabin.

There is a new wrinkle in "Uncle Toms Cabin theatrical companies. One of them. which IS ransacklng the state of New .Jer. sey for audiences, has hit upon the device of buying a refrigerating machine and using real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza. pursued by pack of barking mongres, crosses the river carrying in her arms a stuffed doll.
 The icemaking machine has proved an enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera house, where the ice machine played few evenings ago, frantic crowd fought its way through the doors. At the first perform. ances the ice machine was kept in the back ground. Several cakes were manufactured before the performance and placed on the green baize river. They were carefully sand ed on the surface, so that when Eliza made her grand dash for liberty she would not turn undignihed somersaults. The ice ma chine, however, had been so largely adver- tised that yokels wanted to see it. They sat in their places after the curtain de scended upon the solemn death of Little Eva and howled for the ice machine to come out and show itself. The stage manager and couple of deck hands had to carry it down to the footlights. Then they turned the handle and, amid uproarous applause, the machine produced a cake of real ice.
 Since then a part has been written in the play fo., the ice machine. When the river scene opens couple of southern spectators are discovered experimenting with the machine. They produce their ice, and not having any immediate use for 1t turn it into the river, and 1t sits upon the river surface at proper intervals to accommodate Eliza's footsteps. A colored man comes out and sprinkles sand over the ice in full view of the audience.-Chicago Chronicle.

Denfne.. Cannot ne Curea

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 infamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
