without leaving an order.
Later he called at local bank

himself, TO which he attached the
name OF @. ". Moore. Still later
he called at Price Draper's cloth
ing store, and after making few
purchases, attached his John Henry

to cure deafness, and that is BY
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused By an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eu,

when il is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the in.

this tube restored TO its normal

William Bryan, the Jingiing
orator OF the Platte. has at last be-
come convinced that the 10 to I
sun is gong into an eclipse. He
will not admit that the silver issue
will be paramount in the campaign
OF 1900, but says that whatever
may be first in the public mind
will be the dominant issue" The
public mind has become SO accus-
toned to considering Organism
and free silver as one aud INSOFAR
able, that they will probably come
TO the conclusion that the former
is as dead as the latter. He is
now posing as political flip flop

suit the changed conditions. 1t is

Bile it may seem beside. the metro
politan daily it has place in pop
ular education. While the editor
is not often above the ranks OF a
practical printer, there are many

vehicle of influence over their
fellow citizens. The country
newspaper is usually local in its
news and the very people who
might make it fresh and suggestive
are those who complain most
loudly of its meagre character.
