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 innamed con-
ditlon of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachIan Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have a rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing. and when II Is en-
tirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition. hearing Will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed 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

Some OF the officers and men OF the
Second West Virginia regiment, which
was recently mustered out and return
ed home. are complaining OF the scant
treatment they received at the hands
OF the people OF Charleston. the capital
OF the state. where the regiment was or
ganized and modified, and remained
for some time, much TO the delight of
the tradesmcn Of the state capital city
at that time. Charleston had furnished
the colonel Of the regiment, two majors,
captain and several leutenants. and
one officer claims that, considering all
the things. the home coming and re-
ception was the chilllcst thing he ever
ran against" He says down In South
Carolina, where the regiment was
camped. the people gave our soldiers
an ovation. At Charleston they got
nothing but handshakes, and. accord
ing to the officer mentioned. they are
sore and no mistake"

Philadelphia Record: There is one
young married woman In this city who
believes that cunning diplomacy goes
n long way in the management OF a
husband. Her lord and master wns ad-
dlcted to late hours, and this Is her
story OF how she cured him: Despite
all protests he had been staying out
very late. but one night he came home
before midnight. had the door boited,
as l always let him In. ! asked him
who was there, and he told me In 4

yelled; my husband never comes home
this. early. and he Is never able to speak
as plainly rs you do. II you don't go
away I'll call a policeman He yelled
for me to open the door, and replied
by going to n window and calling for
policeman. 1t did me good to see him
kick the door n couple OF times. swear
little and. dnrt down the street be-
fore the officer arrived. Quite n crowd
had collected when my husband came
back as il nothing had happened. He
congratulated me on having got rid OF
the troublesome caller, and even kept
the fiction up inter we were in the
house. However. he had the grace to
say that he would arrange his business
hereafter so that he would be at home
nights to protect me. He has kept his
word, too"

REFLECTIONS orA BACHELOR

Love owes no debt TO marriage, but
marriage owes big debt to love.
Every woman thinks life is most Sc
rious for the men till after she gets
married.
The longest day n man lives Is the
day before his marriage; the longest
day n woman lives Is the day after
hers.
What most women don't understand
is that the weather has half to do with
mans disposition, and his last meal
the other half.

her husband with other womcn's hus-
bands. 1t Is time for him to begin to
pay some attention TO other mems

and in 1890 Secretary Proctor distin-
guished himself by enlarsing the army
and making needed reforms in army
affairs. He had previously married
Miss Dutton. Of the well known Yer
mont family. and had four sons and
daughters who were prominent in pub

In 1891 Secretary Proctor resigned to
become n United States senator, and
his career from that time on has been
public and blameless. He is one Of the
few public men who have made no very

posed to him admit that he is remark

The Terror of the Cyclone.

Liz Vi VIC ~ SloilC.
The terrible cyclonic storm that
swept over several western states
Thursday evening, leaving death, in
jury and destruction in its pathway,
was one OF those disasters which are
peculiar to the WESTERN country at this
season OF the year. and which have
wrought so much havoc in the past.
There is no escape from them. for the
fury Of the winds finds no obstacle in its
way. The cities and towns built upon
the plains have not the protection OF u
surrounding barricades Of hills, and
there is an open pathway for the cyclone.
which is deadly In its character and
mows down everything in its way. At
Kirksville, Missouri. where an entire
section OF the city was, wrecked, scores
of lives We're lost, hundreds were in
jured and as many as 400 buildings,
most OF them homes, were leveled to the
ground. the devastation and the mourn
ing came scarcely without warning.
Other points in Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska suffered in pkc manner but
without the same extent of damage and
loss OF life.
There is no remedy for it all. Moth
Ing can stay the storm. No human eff
fort can control Natures elements.
Those who are more fortunate. and who
are spared the sufrerings and the de-
struction left in the path Of the storm
can but render sympathy and aid to
the victims In their hou: OF need. Per-
haps when the next cyclone comes they
may be among the ones who will need
the help. We will never know until the
storm passes what the result will be.
