Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
hamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot he cured by

the truth about the rotten beef fed

the beef, to leave any doubt of the
facts. The commission S report

The Murray Ledger made very
unkind fling at Prof. c. H. Dietrich
last week. If Editor Mclean knew
Prof. Dietrich better he would
think more of him. There is no bet
ter school man nor more honorable
gentleman in Kentucky. He is now
and has been for II years resi-
dent of Hopkinsville and organized
our public schools and for Is years
made them the best schools in the
state. Although he is now the trav-
cling representative of Cincinnati
Publishing house-an entirely legit-
innate calling-he is still Ken
lucky educator of increased influ-
ence and undiminished popularity
at home and abroad. AS Prof. Die
trich is Republican, the charge
that he is trying to six" the next
Democratic legislature is OF course
without foundation.

DAvIEss co. CONVENTION
Called Off and Precinct Meetings
Ordered Held June "a.

Greensboro, KY, May 9Th
Republican convention was Gale,
to order at the courthouse by Chair
man Fred Van Rensselaer, at 81
o'clock this afternoon, and wa.
largely attended. The Taylor side
led by Collector E. T. Franks, wore
white badges, and the Pratt sup
porters wore red badges, and the
two factions seemed to be about
evenly divided. After the reading
of the official call the Hon. G. w.
Jolly moved that the convention add
journ until the FIRST Saturday in
July. He said his object was har-
mony in the Republican ranks, and
that the present convention was
premature, and if held would prac-
tically disfranchise 1,500 good Re-
publicans in the county who had
not even heard of the call and who
would thus be deprived of voice
in the selection of delegates to NOM
mate the various State officers tc be
chosen at Lexington.
. Mr.. Franks then addressed the
convention, saying hey too, wanted
harmony, and that on the strength
Of a telegram from Attorney Cen
eral Taylor he would, move as an
amendment to Mr.. Jony's motion |
hat the convention instruct the !
County Committee to call precinct /
for Saturday, June "a,
o attend county mass-oonvention 5
July l. The Jolly-Pratt
ide accepted, suggesting Me-
[inley vote basis for the precinct
representation, which, was agreed
o. A stenographer was called,
ook down the agreed resolution
nd it was adopted.
Pending a vote on the resolution
rev. S. II. Smith, the cOloredoratOT,
lade warm speech, in which he
ulogized Gov. Bradley and was.
allied down on a point of order by
ranks, who said if Bradley was
, be ezstolled he proposed to'say
yord or two for Hunter. The har-
however, kept down a
ow, and everybody, voted to sd-
ourn. Just before adjournment
Judge Pratt's friends moved that
lie be invited to address the conVeu-
ion, but Mr.. Franks objected, and
he motion was not insisted on.

KENTUcKIANS HARD HIT.
Four rlonths' Pay of Officers of the
Third Will Be Held Up.

Savannah, Ga, May 6.-An orde
received to-day falls heavily upo
the officers of the Third Kentuck
Infantry. 1t is to the effect that al
pay due officers of the voluntee
regiments camped here for muster
out, shall be held up until their &C
counts are sent to Washington
audited and passed on. Conse
quently when the Third Kentucky
is mustered out its officers will re-
ceive only the usual travel allow
ances to their respective homes.
The regiment has not been paid
since February, and under the or
der granting officers and men who
have seen foreign service two
months extra pay when discharged
more than four months salary due
the officers will be held back for an
indefinite time, possibly several
months.
On account of the date Of the or
der the chief paymaster has con-
strued it in a manner that it will
affect no other regiment now here
except the Third. In the regiments
previously mustered out only one
months salary of responsible Off
Gel has been detained, and in ev-
cry instance that has been doubly |
sufficient to repair any discrepan-
cies that could possibly exist in
ordnance and clothing accounts.
Since the order retaining more
AN four months salary due the Of
icers of the Third Kentucky they
eel that they are being discrimi-
rated against, and are protesting
'igorously, and the accounts of
very company in the regiment are
pronounced to be in a much better
