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 constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
indamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, 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 be cured by

After the Carnival's Over.

Friday was cleaning up day after
Carnival. The streets were white
with corn. Outside corn decorations
were torn down by last nights revel-
ers and the town was a sight to be-
hold. But the crowd had a good
good time-no doubt of that. There
wasn't a quiet minute uutll after
midnight and even then there came
an occasional blast on horn. Abb.
lene learned few things. One is the
reasons why corn carnival are not
held for two days. This town had
enough carnival in one day to last it
a year. Another is the reason why
Atchison puts most of its decorations
indoors. Abilene won't put so much
on the sidewalk next time.
The big parade surprised every
body. No town Of this size in the
west ever gave such a procession.
People can't get over talking about it.
Gov. Riddle of Minneapolis says it
was one of the finest he ever saw.
Mayor Roach of Salina says it was
marvellous. 1t started on time too.
G. A. Rogers and Frank Ball said it
would andit did. When 1890 came
the procession started. This was
never done before. Fully $4,000 peo.
pie saw the two miles Of attractions.
1t was a daisy. Walter Mcdonald
deserves much credit for it, He fur
nished all his circus wagons, horses,
ponies and suits free and did much to
make it a success. DR.. Blayney says
Abilene had about as many people as
Emporia did on the big day of its
street fair, and Emporia is city Of
| 10, 900.
Col. R. G. Head says: "Abilene
has always maintained a reputation
for not dong affairs by halves, but
today eclipsed all former efforts and
her Corn Carnival has been pro.
nounced .the most attractive enter
tainment Of all the various fall festi-
walls. As yesterday Abilene entertained
visitors from Texas, Oklahoma, Mis-
souri,, Colorado, Nebraska and New
Mexico and not one Of these far away
guests but pronounced our Carnival
the best either had yet visited this
fall"
The electric light display last night
was marvellous. The arches of lights,
the illumination in front OF King
Corn and the brilliancy of it all re-
Elected great credit on Abilene's light
works. 1t is estimated that fully
5000 people saw the fireworks in the
ball park.
Everybody was delighted with the
flower parade. There were more
carriages at Atchison and Emporia
but none more beautiful. 1t should
be remembered that it cost from $40
to Sl5 to decorate carriage in
flowers and at least $3.50 for bi.

COL. HAW KINS DEAD
Commandant Of the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania Regiment, Died at Sea July
16.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-The
United States transport Senator arriv-
ed tonight from Manila with her flag
at half mast on account of the death
OF Col. Alex. Hawkins, commander OF
the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment. u.
S. V. The Senator sailed from Manila
ON July 1 with SO officers and 721 en-
listed men. The transport was at
Nagasaki on July Is, when Col Haw-
kins was taken i'll with cancer of the
bowels, from which he had been suf-
ferer during the greater part of his
Manila. His illness continued during
the following day, July 16, when the
Senator was at Yokohama. and two
days later he passed away at sea. Col
Hawkins illness dated from the battle
of Malolos, when he exposed himself
almost recklessly in the disease breed
ing climate. He was respected and
loved by every man of his command,
and his death is deeply mourned by the
troops. His body was placed in her
metically sealed casket, and on the
Sunday following his death, impressive
funeral services were conducted by the
chaplain of the regiment, all of his
men being-in attendance.
The remains were placed in the stern
of the vessel and lay in state, attended
day and night by guard of honor
during the remainder of the voyage.
The casket will be taken ashore to-
morrow with ceremonies betting
Colonel Hawkins rank, after which the
remains of the dead commander will be
sent to Pennsylvania for interment.
After the death of Colonel Hawkins
the command of the regiment was vest
ed in Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, who,
like the dead commander, is popular
among the enlisted men, and made a
good record in the war.
OF the 759 officers and men whom
Colonel Burnett brought to San Fran
cisco, three are privates in the Sixth
artillery, U. S. A., and one is a mem
Der of the Nebraska regiment, who was
left behind at Yokohama when his COM
panions sailed for this port on the Han
cock. A dozen stowaways were also
concealed in the hold, and were soon
brought to light after the Senator left
Yokohama.
The Senator had a good trip from Japan.
With the exception of the sad Illness and
death of the regimental commander there
was no sickness aboard, barring a few
cases of seasickness and half dozen cases
of dysentery. At sight of land all the in
valids were able 10 leave their hunks and
line UP on the main decks, except one poor
fellow who has developed symptoms of APP
pendieitis and who will be operated upon
in the hospital here.
