mind concerning typographical or.

Pushed tho Claim 90 Years.

1t has taken the heirs of tho John
Potter estate Of Charleston, 8. c.,
ninety eight years to bring the Unit.
States Government to time on a
claim. This fact came out in a de-
cision rendered by tho United States
Circuit Court here recently. At the
time OF the French Revolution Potter
was merchant and the owner of
several sailing vessels. One of them,
the Hetty Jane, was seized by the
French on the high seas short time
subsequent to the revolution, and a
few years later claim for S25, 900 was
made against this Government. Three
or four months ago this claim was
allowed.
Bayard Stockton was made admin.
istrator Of the estate, but his account
ing was not satisfactory to Richard
Stockton of Eliza beth, who took the
meter to the courts. 1t was found
that there was difference of only 81
between the two Stocktons and the
Judge threw the case ont of court.
There are eixty-four heirs to the es-
tate and their shares range from $50
to $1,000. Philadelphia Record.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed You have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it ia entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, winch is nothing but an in

Prisoners Brutality Treated.

According to the San Francisco pa
pers discovery has been made that
the press censor at Manila has will
fully suppressed the letters of the
prisoners IL the hands of the Filipino
in which bitter complaints are made
OF the cruel manner in which they are
treated. Albert Lowenehon, former
ly boatswain on the Zealandia, writes
some letters telling the truth of the
matter and the reports are at variance
with the purported official accounts.
Among those who have been cap
tured by the Fiipinos are Lieuten-
ant Gilmore and seven mon Of the
Yorktown, four soldiers aud two civil
lans. A, d. Bruce and E. Honeyman.
OF the Nevada cavalry are among the
captured. They were taken prison.
ers on the 30th Of january of this
year and ever since have been treat
ed in the most barbarous manner. At
the time the letter was written they
we're to be marched north to a point
they Of course did not know. Up to
the time Of the arrival of Gilmore Oh
April 18th, the prisoners had been
bound, beaten and starved, and it
was only on the advance Of the Unit
ed States troops that they received
better treatment. Living on five
cents day and being nearly naked is
not lite Of luxury. Even though
theAmerican SOLDIERS we're treated SO
harshly, the Spanish prisoners were
treated worse, and many put in the
stocks and tortured and starved.
Hundreds are dying from dysentery
and disease. Had it not been for tho
the kindness of Senior Rowland Ray,
who was the bearer Of tho letters re.
ceived, the American prisoners and
the Nevada boys would have been
starved on the retreat from Malolos.
As al ending Of ono of the letters, tho
writer being mouthpiece for all, Of

Code sake, can nothing DO done for

Outlook for Cattle.

CHICAGO, Aug. l7.-rhe Record
says: Investigation at the stock
yards in regard to the recent advances
in the price Of beef brought out the
statement that never before in tue
history Of the American cattle mar
ket has there been such a demand
for all kinds Of meat as at the present
time. The demand for export cattle
Is enormous. The statement is made
that the prices Of all cattle will be
higher next year than they are now,
but in three years, when all the
thousands of feeders find their way
into the market, there is likely to be
a slump Of from 2 to 3 cents. This
year Kansas has 100000 head OF cat
tie, which is record breaker for that
State. the big renches in Montana,
Wyoming, North and South Dakota
are sc nding cattle at present. Most
benefited by the increase in prices is
the stock raiser. At present every
thing costs more alive than formerly
making it necessary for the packers
TO advance the prices OH all dressed
meats. The prices quoted yesterday
TO local butchers was 8 cents pound
for best straight beef In the whole
carcass, and AN cents pound for
loins and ribs, when together In even
Oets. One lot Of sixty bGrrsls Of the
latter wsS sold'tt 1914 cents q pound.
All other meats have been moro or
less affected, Prices have como up In
pork, mutton, veal and al dried and
smoked meats.

However we may differ on the ques

endorse or deny the need for the free

must admit that the last twelve-month

OF the public men OF the nation a
widening Of horizon, grasp Of the
fact that greater duties and greater
problems confront the American people
than for generation last past. The
speeches uttered in public meeting or
at banquet board resound with a depth
that has been lacking for a number Of

There is general realization that

come as an aftermath OF the great
events Of the last year that have served
to bring an awakening to the whole
people. The time is at hand when
there will be revival Of statecraft,
when the mere possession of station or
influence will not make it an easy
matter for one to raise himself to the
places that should be filled by sturdy
and patriotic Americans, whose ascen-
dRney comes from brains, and not
simply from bank account. Such
things are a happy sign.
