Deafness Cannot be 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 infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehiani Tube. When this tube is
infamed 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. -tts

for any case of deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Court House Plans.

Another step has been taken to-
wards a new Washington county
building for court rooms, Jail and coun-
ty Offices The Commissioners have
selected Hannaford & Son,of Cincinna-
hi, as the architects, and have display
ed to the public a plan showing the
front elevation of the proposed build
ing. This we are glad to know is
tentative. 1t Will be subject to such
changes as may be found necessary in
working out the details and dividing
up the space to the best advantage
The tower is the commanding feat
ure and gives character to the bufld-
ing. 1t will be high enough to be seen
from every part of the city and the
Country Brother will find this part of
the STRUCTURE will greet him by appear
ing above all other city buildings and
we hope will give him the time Of day
long before he gets into the city. We
also expect that he will take some
pride in it, inasmuch as he will be part
owner therein. Now, this feature seems
To be satisfactory. The roof, however,
seem to excite great deal Of criticism
for the reason that It gives the third
story the character of an attic or gar
ret. 1t Slips down over the so-called
third story like fools cap over boys
head. The third story has two or three
feeble dUrmer windows peeping out of
the roof and leaves the third floor as
dark as a garret when it ought 30 have
as many windows as can be stuck into
It. Every Office building should be
flooded with light. All modern build
tngs, either for school house purposes,
factories or Offices have as many open
ings as can be put in and leave suffi-
cient wall for strength and safety. The
third story of this building should be
a full story, same as the two below,
with just ais many openings for light
as those below. That is the way 1t
looks 30 us and we think the majority
of those who have expressed an Opin-
ion say the same and we are sure the
county officers who know the value of
plenty of light and plenty of room will
agree with US in this matter.
Besides that we want to put in a
word for the next generation, who will
no doubt be crowded for room and
want plenty of hight They will curse
an attic, dark and cobwebby and full
of trash as every garrett is CIR becomes
In the course of time. Besides that
che Jail is TO go up there and the prls-
uners should have plenty f light and
air. You cannot stick them up in an
attle win impunity and without en-
dangerlng their health. If the plan
displayed TO the public had o'Neal's
third story with the Hanniford tower
Ut would seem that would be just the
thing. ~
The Rush plans and the Yost plans
show fun third story with just such
as many openings for light as the stor-

Suppose THAT Cervera had escaped

Suppose tha Spain had then started

Suppose that Shafter had failed, or
been probractedly halted, in front of

calling upon the enemy to surrender.
Suppose 1t had been decided neces-

loss while trying to carry inbrench-

spent time and care and money.
How would a beginning like that
have affected US? How, in particular,
would the anti-administrablon people
have acted? How vigorous would
have been their demand for this Of
fetal head and that and how mucn
would it have increased the activity
of the curbstone strategy boards? We
should have gone on, of course, and in
uhe end have won, but our superb and
unbrolen successes undoubtedly saved
us from much turmoil here at home.
This lis to be remembered in consid-
erlng the present state of feeling in
England. Upon the whole, it must be
admitted that the English are carry
ing themselves we'll in an hour of dis
couragement. Their pride is wounded,
but they are showing no rancor. The
Beers, so far have shown the better
strategy. The English soldiers are
finding it necessary to be extremely
wary, and even then are not wary
enough. But there is no howl at home
nor any pleading of the baby act from
the field. The commanders who lose
manfuhy shoulder the full responsible
ity, and even compliment the enemy
in their dispatches. This is the spirit
of real men, and it is good to feel that
they are of the Anglo-Saxon strain

Andrews, Curtis, Dye and Eyssen.
Superintendent Williams In his re-
port stated that there were number
of teachers who wished to visit the
Cincinnati schools and the California
Training Schcol near Ptbtsburg, and

request was granted.
Superintendent williams also re-
ported that he had ordered a number
of new books for the library, many of
which were suitable for the pupils of
the seventh and eighth grades and he
Thought bhey should be extended Ii

Mysteriously Disappeared and
Found on Oceans Bottom.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of two coal-laden schoon-
ers that left here in November, 1898,
and were never heard from again, was
solved today, when word reached here
that two schooners had been found ait
the bottom of the sea off the coast of
Massachusetts,. The vessels were the
Howard S. Hanscom, Captain Holmes,
which left here on November 90,
bound for Province, and the John d.
Pace, Captain Garfield, whcih left two
days later bound for Boston. 1t was
thought that both had gone down in
the gales of November of last year,
but the fact that not soul nor a spar
from either vessel was found seemed
peculiar.
About two weeks ago 1t was report
ed that a vessel had struck submerg-
ed buoy The Lighthouse Board knew
of no such buoy, and an expedition
ives sent to the place to investigate, "A
vessel sailing to Province scraped her
bottom at a point off the Massachus-
etts coast, and when her Captain
reached port he reported That divers
went down and on the bottom of the
sea standing on their keels, masts up
ward, were found the Hanscom and

his tourney, and going to his native
county he gathered up every cat WITHIN
its borders that the owners would give

through Lincoln and Boyle, adding to
HIS stock of cats, till at last wooden cages
full of felines were piled as high upon bis

Crammes were distributed among the
throng, 305 cats were in line, and at the
tap of the bell by President Upton every
cat shot out of the bag and went down
the line swifter than any thoroughbreos

race was won by a Cat the granuam oil
