An Earnest Worker.

LESLIE, Okla, Nov. 80, '99.-Edi
tor Representative: 1t is with a sad
heart that | announce the death of that
grand old reformer. Col G. A. Lincoln,
of Cowly county, Kansas, on the 18th
of this month. The writer's acquaint-
ance with the colonel was very short
but we had learned to love him as an
older brother, and looked upon him as
one of the truest and best workers that
the reform cause ever had. He UNI
doubtedly had the cause of the COM
mon people more at heart and was try
ing harder to get them to rally together
for the defense of their rights and lib
critics than any other man that | have
ever met. Think Of man II years old
travelling and speaking wherever he
could get an audience and showing up
the shortcomings and rascalities so
plain Of the two old parties and when
warned that he was getting old and had
better take better care of himself and
not travel and speak SO much, would say
that if he could only hold out through
the coming campaign-he would quit
then. He fully Endorsed the Cincinnati
convention and plan of organization and
had commenced to help to organize our
territory on the precinct plan, and we
have every reason to believe would
have succeeded beyond our most san.
guine expectations, had he been spar
ed to contanue the work
Should not everyone take up the work
with renewed resolution and press firm
ly on to the end, like that grand old
brother? is the query of r

by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiammed you have

when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
