And to this day that young
man will insist that he popped
the question.
All this happened way down
east in the little town of Cicero,
Vermont, and it was not very
long before there was a wedding.
A letter from Polly to Uncle Josh
at Virginia, announcing the mar
riage, soon brought a reply. fo,
Polly was, as Uncle:Josh declar.

Work was temporarily discon-

the week, says the Ely Times.
Several member~ of the company
are expected to arrive in the city
soon, when some action will be
taken regarding further work at
the mine. The Zenith has been
handicapped on account of mad

sumed that something may soon
be done to relieve the manage

The Odanah mine, west Of
Hurley, is being unwatered, and
a plant of machinery is being set
up preparatory to actively work

1t is expected to have the mine
cleared of water in about thirty

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 is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiamation 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
famed condition of the mucous sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

In tlfe Lexington Leader, of Sun
day, we regret to see statement in
regard to the smallpox, which has
been prevailing in this city for
several weeks, which is grossly I'M
true in many points. In the first
place, there have not been from five
to eight cases developed daily.
Next there hare been more cases
among the whites than among the
colored. There has been no attempt
to keep the matter quiet; but, on the
contrary, there has been a bulletin
Of the exact status printed every
day.
All the available space in the
hospital quarters WAS not exhausted
on Saturday.
1t was given out precisely how
many cases were confined at the
hospital and every facility was
afforded to give knowledge of the
number of cases in the city.
The total number, not only of
cases, but of suspects, WAS published
and does not reach up anything like
the Leaders informant has stated.
There is no panic over the matter.
Business is proceeding right along,
and every precaution has been taken
to prevent the spread of the disease,
and the very precautions taken have
been distorted by this wild-eyed
gentleman into almost malicious
misrepresentation.
The authorities have the matter
well in hand and tn 4, re is a decline in
cases and suspects right along.
You always have "to go away
from home to hear the news" about
such matters, and here we have il
with a vengeance.
We trust the Leader will make the
proper corrections.

Be Sure You are Right.

We regret to see that our friends Of
the Anderson NeWs, in their panic
over smallpox and Lawrenceburg's
quarantine, have gone out of their
way to misrepresent affairs. In their
issue they state that the newspapers
of this city had attempted to suppress
the real facts AS regards that matter.
So far is this from being the fact, If
the editors had been as anxious to
get atthe facts as they were to distort,
they would have known that a daily
bulletin is issued by the Health
Board and printed broadcast.
They also try to make it appear
that the ROUNDABOUT had Joined in
this attempt, and reprint, without
any explanation, two paragraphs
from our paper. The first stating
that there need be no fear, on the
part of our country friends, when
coming to this city to attend to bus
mess, and the second the order of
the Council suspending church SER
vices until further notice.
The real fact was that this was
done as II precaution for the protec-
ton of the very class Of people whom
We were inviting to attend to bus
mess, not to attend general assemblies
of people.
As further evidence of the truth of
our paragraph, business is being at
tended to by our citizens and our
country friends and there are now no
cases of smallpox in the city.
We trust that the editors aforesaid,
in their zeal to attract trade to Law
renceburg, will he just enough to
give true statement, and not mis-
represent affairs here.
Daily publication has been made Of
,tle exact facts, and no suppression
permitted.

THE MISSING MIR. ALVEY.
Two Men Claim to Have Seen Him
Near williamsburg.

The continued absence of John II. Alvey
is Strengthening tho belief of his family
and friends that he has lost his life in
the river, but they are following every
clue that presents itself with view 70
finding him alive.
Tho Bon Air and Cincinnati clues. pre-
scented in the Dispatch yesterday morn
ing, are being diligently followed The
railroad company iI assisting tho dctCc-
tives in following up the Cincinnati clue.
Yesterday information was received
which gives rise 10 the hope that Mr.. Al
vey may be found on the Peninsula. This
Information was furnished by Messrs. A.
g. Harvey, Of No PHI east Broad street,
and G. +. Holmes, Of No $40 north Eigh-
teenth street. who claim TO have seen
Mr. Alvey on tho railroad track q short
distance this side OF Williamsburg last
Tuesdat.
They say that the man they saw was
Well dressed. and was standing on the
railroad track. Az soon as the stranger
noticed that he was being observed by
The two men no turned hii back on them
and started In the direction of q body of
woods q short distance from the track.
Tho gentlemen called upon Mr.. IL. a.
Alvey yesterday, and upon being shown
a picture Of AR. John r. Alvey positive
ly identified the man they had seen by it,
As soon as the two men had satisfied
themselves that they had clue they
made arrangements TO go to Williams
burg and work on the case. and LETT the
city yesterday morning for that place.
Tho men are not regularly employed, are
both reliable, and they hope not only 10
get the reward, bur. above all, to have
the pleasure of restoring Mr.. Alvey to his
family.
Last night Detective Brownel received
information corroborative Of the state
ment that Mr.. Alvey was on the canal
bank on thu afternoon OF his disappear
ance. A negro man, who Is said TO be
perfectly reliable, says no saw the miss
inc merchant at a point between tha TWO
pump-houses where the canal connects
with the river and where the railroad
crosses on a trestle. He positively iden-
tiaes Mr.. Alvey by his photograph. and
sava that when he last saw him he was
standing irresolutely on the bank between
the two streams, gazing furtively up and
down the railroad track and wearing a
very sad expression on his face. This
testimony strengthens the belief that the
body will be found IN the river.
Coroner Taylor. in discussing the prob
abilities OF the bodys being in the river,
saws IL should ordinarily have risen 10
the surface several days ago, but may be
caught by rocks or bushes and thus held
submerged He tells Of disappearance
