ALVIN SAUNDERS is DEAD.



tor Passes Away.
OMAHA, Nov. 2.-EX Governor Alvin
Saunders died yesterday at his home on
Sherman avenue at the age of 50 years.
He passed away easily and naturally and
his death seemed to the members of the
family gathered around the bedside as
though he had merely gone from perfect
consciousness into gentle sleep.
Governor Saunders death removes

lives connect with the early history of

strumental in the nomination of Abra-
ham Lincoln as president. He was
chairman of the Iowa delegation to the
national Republican convention held in
Chicago III 1860. While others We're
trying to support Seward and Bates, he
eNerted all his efforts i'll behalf of Lin
coin, who, as a reward, appointed him
governor of the Nebraska territory. The
last signature ever written by Lincoln
was obtained by Governor Saunders
and is the most highly priced souvenir
i'll the possession of the Saunders fam
| lily. Governor Saunders late in the aft
ernoonAof the day of the assassination
called upon President Lincoln to get his
| governors commission renewed for the
second term. The president signed the
commission and remarked that he was

Deafness Cannot he 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 inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it 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
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Some interesting and instructive
facts bearing upon the subject of i'm
migration have been brought by the in
vestigations of the industrial commits
sion in New York city recently. One of
these was the statement OF an immigra-
ton official that during the years 1880
to 1890 45 per cent Of the arrivals at
the port of New York, or nearly 2, 900,
900 persons, announced their destina-
tion as the metropolis itself, This of
course could not be true, for the popu-
lation of New York increased only 400.
900 in the years stated, but there was
enough truth in il to show the tendency
of immigration. 1t was also stated by
the immigration officers that the pa
drone system is still a feature of Italian
immigration in spite of all efforts to
break it up, and that assisted immigra-
tion is still an evil that shows signs OF
no material abatement. To these sources
we owe, it was said, a large and con,
tinuous infusion of the pauper and
criminal classes in our population.
