Mr.. Fox's Matrimonial Experience.

The REGISTER last week told Of the
marriage of John Fox, aged Sc years,
Of Frederick county, Nd, and Miss
Kittie Zimmerman, aged q years, Of
Hagerstown. Mr. Fox's experience
has not been a happy one, and he has
already brought action for divorce.
Mr.. Fox, who owns several fine farms,
and who has had many experiences in
endeavoring to procure a wife, SAID
"This is the worst stew | have ever
been in. 1t only took me two hours
to get the girl to consent to become
my wife, but l suppose it Will take me
nearly as many years to get rid Of her.
Il needed wife to take care Of my
house" continued Mr.. Fox, land my
housekeeper told me l could find
good young woman at Mr.. Cramer s,
in Frederick. | came in and met the
young woman, and as she seemed to
be all that l wanted, | became en-
gagged to her, and in less than two
hours she was my wife. Ali gave her

promised to employ her friend An
derson on the farm. Anderson came
out. on the place last Thursday to
work, but instead Of doing anything
he only loafed about the house, and
when | recovered from an attack of
rheumatism Saturday l told him to
leave. Soon afterward my wife in
formed me she was going to Hagers-
town to bring her mother, Mrs. Jo-
hanna Zimmerman, down to visit us.
l followed her to town and found she
bought two tickets, one for her friend
Anderson, and they both went to Ha-

him. Since l was married on Mon
day I have been beset with thieves.

Mrs. Fox was interviewed in Ha-
gerstown Tuesday. She said she
knew nothing of the divorce proceed
ings, and believed somebody had pre-
JUDGED her husband against her. She
said she would rather be an old man 5

We now give it up.

The tobacco business Of the country
is now almost entirely in the hands Of
the trust that was formed some
months ago, and radical changes are
being made in the methods of conduct
ing business. There are no individ-
ual firms to speak Of, consequently
there is no competition. The trust
has done away with many hundreds of
tobacco drummers, and these are out
of work, except few who find places
with the jobbers. Being entirely in
dependent, the trust tells its customers
to come to it and buy at its price if
they want the goods, and so the drum
mer's avocation is gone. The retire
ment of the drummers has been al
ready felt by the hotel keepers, and
the railroads lose the money formerly
spent in travelling over their lines.
There are savings to the trust, and con-
sequently losses to the people gener-
ally, in many other ways, and the
combine is waxing fat and sassy.

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 intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When the tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when ii is en-
tirely 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 an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
