Gov. STONE Of Missouri announces

Gov. STONE of Missouri announces
it as his conviction that the great
unwashed Democracy should not tol-
crate coalition with the Popuiists and
Silver Republicans. Perhaps this &C.
counts for the rather precipitate
desire Of local leaders to hasten fus-
ion and decide upon distribution of
Offices. Should these local plans be
scotched through failure of the
national convention to endorse fusion
and that is undisguised conviction
of nearly all the prominent Demo-
cratic leaders-it may become nee
essary for some of our Populist and
Silver Republican friends to pathet-
icalle ask themselves the question as
to whereabouts they are at.

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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten
are caused by catarrh; which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deaftess caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls
