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 inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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 de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

A Triumph in Public Business.

So many important and novel sub
jects have occupied the attention of
the country during the last two years
that it has hardly given the credit due
for the splendid achievement in set
tling the government debts of the Pa
clfc railroads. A brief passage in the
Presidents message summarizes the
matter. The Pacific railroads owed
the government $130,0O0,O0O, nearly
half Of which was accrued interest, and
at a comparatively high rate. OF this
immense amount the roads have paid
over $124000,000 Substantially the
whole debt has been met, and at a time
when there was heavy war drain up
on the treasury. The Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific, the main
trunk lines, paid every cent due, prin-
on subordinate line. The business
was carried through under a commits
sion authorized by a Republican Con-
greSs, and composed of three members
of President McKinley's Cabinet.
There was a period, and it extended
through many years, when a general
opinion prevailed that the government
would lose the most of the money ad-
vanced to the Pacific railroads, and
that some of the compromise, saving
only part would be necessary. Var
ious measures, involving heavy sac
rifice, we're brought forward from time
to time But the present administra-
ton, seizing an opportunity in mas
terly way, secured in cash nearly all
that was due, including the great ac-
cumulation of interest. 1t was once
the fashion to argue that the indirect
benefits OF the Pacific roads would
compensate the country for an enor-
nous direct loss. But the problem
was not handled in that way. The ma
tion has all the benefits and also the
money it advanced. When the merits
of the present administration are dis
cussed, put that in.-Globe Democrat.

A Fortune Through Drink.

Il is not often that man has wealth
thrust upon MIN without his knowl-
edge, but such is the case of a doctor
in Ohio. r. G. Watson, one of the
leading oil we'll contractors in the
Pennsylvania fields, was telling of the
man in the Palmer house., says the
Chicago News.
This is mighty strange case" said
Mr.. Watson. who lives at Beaver Falls,
Pa. The doctor is one Of the best
known physicians in Eastern Ohio.
could give his name, but owing to the
fact that he gained his wealth when he
was in an irresponsible condition
would rather not give it.
"A new oil field had been discovered
in one of the southeastern counties of
the Buckeye State, and It was there the
doctor added $4,000 to his bank ac-
count Big wells had been drilled in
about ten miles from where the doctor
lived, but the oil belt was thought to
lead in another direction from the
lucky physician. However, one man
had faith, but not the money to drill a
wildcat we'll. He made all sorts of
offers, but no one would back him.
After a months work he managed to
borrow enough money to secure the
tools. engines, coverings, ETC., but he
needed $4OO to put up the derrick.
HE went to the doctor and told him
his story. The doctor had plenty of
money and this day it happened that
he had been partaking of spirits to a
considerable degree. He gave a check
for $400 to his visitor and then and
there forgot all about the transaction.
"The well was drilled and it came
in with mighty rush Of oil. The
town wher the doctor lived went wild
for joy and every one was oil mad.
"One day the doctor received a no.
tice that a meeting of the stockholders
of the new we'll would be held and
plans for drilling new wells discussed.
He was puzzled at the notice and at
last sent it back, writing letter stat
ing the inclosed notice must be an err
ror. The secretary of the company,
who lives in Pittsburg, called on the
doctor and they talked it over. Not
until the check was brought forth from
the bank would the honest physician
believe he was really one of the larg
est stockholders. He had not the
slightest remembrance CT ever talking
to the oil man, and now he is one of
the happiest men in the country. The
first well is yielding several hundred
barrels of oil a day and new ones are
coming in each week. If the field holds
out the doctor will be a millionaire,
and all because he gave his check
when he was in a reckless humor."
