the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets intiamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear,

ness is the result, and unless the inf1ama-

stored to its normal condition, hearin @

Charles Ward who handled Major Tay-

will accomplish it and defeat many a

ADJUSTMENTS.

SCusa's band of fifty-six pieces,
finely balanced body of musicians
moved and directed by master spirit
whose magnetic personality dominates
it. The tone of the band is round and
powerful and all it's work careful and
precise. Clearly the band includes
abundant talent that gives evidence or
unlimited good will in performance. 1t
gave two concerts yesterday, that in
the evening drawing very nearly a full
house. In both cases the audience was
reused to enthusiasm very frequently.
Sousa was the recipient of as hearty
welcoming applause as any artist could
wish The soloists were especial favor
ties also Mr.. Pryor the trombonist,
proved to be one of the most finished
artists we have ever had here. Miss
Davies, the soprano, who sang only IN
the afternoon, has a clear, strong, pure
tone; her style is refined and her work
thoroughly artistic. Miss Hugle, the
violiniste, is a remarkable player Tor
one so young. Her playing is like that
of a mant-virile, full, strong and sus-
tained by an enthusiasm born of love
of the art The encores at both con-
certs were so many that the programs
We're very nearly doubled, for Sousa Is
very gracious and accommodating to
his audiences.

WANDERED FROM HOME.
Anxiety Over the Disappearance OF
Gilbert DObbs.

Mrs. Gilbert Dobbs, residing at 1lOo
o street, was greatly distressed last
night. Mr.. Dobbs, who had been sick
for five weeks from typhoid fever, left
his home yesterday for the first time,
and UP to a late hour last night had
not returned, nor had he been seen by
any of his acquaintances.
Mr.. Doobs was of course weak IN
body and mind, and it was feared he
had wandered off to the country or
down to the river and perhaps been
drowned. The latter is not likely, how
ever, as there are men employed all
along the river front down to the ex-
treme end of the city, and some one
would have seen him had he gone there.
He and his wife came here recently
from New York, and Mr. Dobbs had
been employed by w. S. Kendall prior
to his illness. He is about 80 years Of
age, tall and slender, with a grayish
beard
Friends and neighbors were out
searching for him last night, and as
the hours passed and no tidings of him
were obtained his wife began to fear
that something had happened to him.

CAPITOL DOORS CLOSED.
Vigilance Prevents the Looting of
the Building Yesterday.


Visitors to the Capitol yesterday
found all eastern and southern doors
of the building securely fastened. The
only doors opened were those at the
west and north, and at each sat a
watchman. They stopped all persons
with bundles, and allowed none OF the
supplies to be carried away without al
order from officers of the Senate or
Assembly.
Heretofore, said Lon Norton, who
had charge of the doors yesterday, 1T
has been the custom of various persons
to loot the building on the closing day
of the Legislature, but they will not
be able to do anything like that this
time. 1 have stopped number of per-
sons and requested orders, but none
have yet returned with proper author
