The police jury has already ia
ken some steps in the matter, now
the town council, the Board of

necessary committees, and secure
the funds necessary to defray the

should have made some appropri-
alton for this object, as it is mat
ter that should be handle at the
expense of the people of the whole
parish.
This institute should be tho
roughly advertised in every Sec
ton of the parish, and special
pains should be taken to have pos.
ters and circulars distributed on
every plantation of the parish.

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
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 in
flamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

His Duty in Washington
Other News.
WASHINGTON, October 20, 1899

WASHINGTON, October 20, 1899
President Mckinley returned from his
long trip of more than five Thousand
miles, during which ne made more than
one hundred speeches, more firmly con
vinced than ever that the people OF this
country are overwhelmingly in favor of
the permanent retention of the Philip
pines also with increased faith in the
patriotism of the people. He is proud
of the receptions given him everywhe,e g
he stopped, but modestly says that the
enthusiasm was not for him personally
but for the principles he represents by
reason Of his being the official head of
the administration. Not u single un-
pleasant incident occurred during the
long trip and 80 perfect we're the ar.
rangements for Mrs. Mckinley's com
fort that she suffered no inconvenience
and returned to Washington feeling bet
ter than when she started,
As there are only about six weeks left
for President Mckinley to prepare one
of the most important messages ever
sent to Congress. he will be compelled
to deny personal interviews, except up.
on important public matters, in order to
devote his entire time to the preparation
of his message, which will necessarily be
long one. 1t is already known that
the message will take strong ground for
the permanent retention of the Philip
pines, and for action on the part of Con-
gress which will leave no doubt in the
minds OF the Filipinos of the intention
of this country to retain the sovereignty
of the islands. Influenced by the con
tractionists of this country, the Filipinos
now believe, or pretend to believe, that
public sentiment in this country against
She permanent retention of the Philip,
ti@, is on the increase. President Nc
sKinley wishes Congress to show by its
laction that this is not true, believing
that such action will do as much for the
permanent paci6cation of the islands as
whipping the armed Filipinos will do
The message will also probably contain
a surprise for the Democrats in treatment
OF the trust question, which cannot be
outlined at this time without violating
confidence. 1t is sufficient to say that
President Mckinley is, as usual, thor.
oughly alive to the interests of the peo.
pie at large, and that he will show it in
an unmistakable manner in his message.
Admiral Dewey is quietly resting in
Washington this week. Next Monday
he will start to Atlanta, to present the
sword to Lieut.. Brumby, which his fel
low.Georgians have purchased tor him
as evidence Of their appreciation of the
