The. farmers of this county are in
some instances supporting Gov. Tyler
for-the Senate on the idea that he is a
farmer, and would represent their in
terests better in the Senate than any
one.who is not. Gov. Tyler simply
owns farm. AS governor he has done
nothing;tp-a advance their interests, as
q senatoEshew would do less. They do
not want him for any purpose and the
sentiment in the matter is all that en-
tices them that way. The farmer part
OF Maj. Tyler's make up is fake and
he himself is too weak a vessel to
carry such load.

Deafness Cam 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 intiamed con-
dltlon OF the mucous lining Of the Eus-
lachlan Tube. When this tube gets in
hamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
~ closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less The Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
t1amed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The May Conference people are not
supporting Mr.. Tyler as be thinks
they should, in fact very few people
are supporting him as he thinks they
should. Mr.. Montague has dropped
out, Mr.. Jones will give only mild sup
port, and the poor Governor to whom
everything looked so bright a little
while ago finds himself deserted on all
sides, and he has little to commend
him save his bogus claim of being a
farmer. II he were even good farmer
this would help, but he is not.

RENNEs. Sept. 6.-At the opening. ol
the Dreyfus court martial this morning
M. Labori announced he had received
a semi-oilicial intimation that Colonel
Schwarzoppen and Colonel Panizzardi
will be unable to appear personally be-
fore the court and so proposed that the
rogatory commission be telegraph,d 10
receive their dispositions. -seg 4 Il
Labori drew up formal application
that Colonies Schwartzkoppen ard
Panizzardi be called as witnesses and
seven questions be telegraphed them,
to which they should reply under oath.
The first question was if they ever re-
ceived any documents mentioned in
the bordereau. He also requested that
they be asked if they had, received Il g
firing manual, when and from whom
also whether either had sent to Ester
hszy the petit bleu, a copy whereof ht d
been telegraphed, and finally if fdlrectly
or indirectly, they had any relations
with Dreyfus.
The court deliberated on Laborl's ap-
plication for rogatory commission for
q quarter of an hour, at the expiration
of which time Joueust read an an
nouncement that the judges unanim-
ously decided that President Jouaust
was competent to order rogstory com.
mission and the judges, as body, ac,
cording to the military code, were not
competent.
Labori thereupon asked ,Jouaust If
be still maintained his refusal to ap-
point a commission. Jouaust replied,
"Yes," and the evidence of Schwarzs
koppen and Panizzsrdi was thus ex-
cluded.
That Jouausts decision means the
condemnation of Dreyfus was the
unanimous opinion of the anti-Drey-
fusards; also majority of the Dreyfus
ards.
