Dewey and Proctor.

Senator Proctor is just now a centre Of
attraction and the subject of some criticism.
He is gwen the credit for a wicked scheme
to force Admiral Dewey into the presi-
dental chair, and thus give Vermont a
chief executive. Proctor is said to have
remarked when told that Dewey was deter
mined not to be president: "Well if Dew
ey adheres to his determination be will be
unique in American history. No man has
ever refused the presidency of the United
States.n
The Washington Star says: "Senator
Proctor is very clever, easy-running poll
tician. The suspicion is more than half
formed that, whatever may be the plans of

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 con.
stitutional remedies. Deafnessis caused by an
lnflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam.
nation can be taken out and this tube re.
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inf1amed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Dewey for the future, Proctor has in hi,
mind the possibility of the admiral being
made candidate if the proper occasion
and opportunity should arise. The ,us-
picion is entertained by some of President
McKinley's friends, and they are keeping
weather eye on the senator rather than
the admiral"
While Vermont would like to see one Of
her sons exalted to the high office of presi-
dent OF the United States, yet there j, A
very general feeling that the admiral
could gain no new honors, and would
run great risk OF leaving the White
House with impaired reputation. There
are not many who honestly believe that he
can be induced to become a candidate

A public meeting was held in Brighton,
Eng, last Friday under the auspices of the
South African association in support of the
war policy Of the British government.
Rudyard Kipling sent a letter in which he
said: 81 need not say am entirely in
sympathy with the object of the meeting
and realize our country's obligation at this
crisis to support her majesty's government
unreservedly. Their demand, take it to
be, is for equal rights for all white men
from the Cape to the Zambesi, their aim
the establishment Of a republic instead of
an oligarchy, and their vindication new
and regenerate Transvaal, governed under
equal laws formed in open council by free
men, neither corrupted or coerced, repre-
senting every interest in the land. These
things are good and desirable, and I recog-
nlze that it is the duty of each one of us,
according to his abilities, to work toward
their attainment"

Our representative recently met
a lady who lives over in the south
west part of the county where calf
dysentrY or cholera has been quite
prevalent and fatal during the last
two years She saws they had found
a satisfactory and sure remedy for
the disease, which was simply to
give the patient a teaspoonful of
SeelYe's Wasa Tulsa in a teaspoon
full of castor oil, repeating as often
as necessary until a care was effect
ed. The lady said that they had
cured calves by this treatment
when they were so near cad as to
be scarcely able to swall the med
icine and had always su. ;eded ID
efectlng a cure. She wishes to have
1t published for the benefit of others
who had lost calves from this hlth
