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 lie
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Ia
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube gets infismed you have rumblins
sound or imperfect hearing, aud when 1t is
entirely closed deafness Is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fer
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

FRIDAYS FIRE.
"SroNo." THE BEAUTIFUL HOME OF Mrs.
A. r. HOWELL, NARROWLY ESCAPES
TOTAL DESTRUCTION,
VERY SUBSTANTIAL CRATE UDE
THE FAMILY's PRACTICAL APPRECIATION OF
THE FIREMEN's WORK.

THE FIREMENs WORK.
The total destruction OF rs ono" the
h,ndsome and costly residence Of Ms.
A. r. Howell, was narrowly averted
last Friday morning by the prompt aud
efficient efforts of the Lexington Fire
Department. Shortly after 5 o'cl ok
the cry of "Firel' broke in on the still
air from the direction of The Institute
Hill. The ever-willing fre-fghter'
responded with their accus! omed
swiftness, and reels Nos. 2, 3, and /,
and the hook and ladder truck, in the
order named, were soon speeding to
the scene of the fire, quite mile dis
tant.
Arriving there the kitchen and din
ing room, adjoining the main building
on the west, were found to be on fire,
the whole interior of tho former being
a mass of flames. Connection was
made with the nearest 6re-plug "a
quarter of q mile off, at the Institute
gas-house), and when the hose was
unreeled and the water turned on it
was found that the stream fell about
about fifteen feet short of the fire.
For few minutes it seemed the
elegant structure and its valuable con-
tents were doomed to destructi u.
Nothing daunted, however The re-
sourceful fremen began search for
the cadets apparatus known to be on
the V. NJ. I. premises, which latter was
deserted on account of the fever fur
Tough. After diligent search sec
ton OF cotton hose was unearthed be-
meath shed in the rear OF barra ks,
and after having been disentangled
from a net work of gun-cIrriages,
caissons, e!c., was attached t. the
Lexington hose, and once more the
fremen were masters OF the situation,
with strong stream playing on the
devouring element which had tire ten
ed destruction to all in its pathway.
Within fifteen or twenty minutes he
last spark had been quenched and the
hremen ready to return to their homes
and the days work. e
The kitchen and kitchen furnltur,
were total loss. The damage to the
dwelling and household furniture was
small, principally from smoke and
water. The origin of the fire is a.
known, but it is supposed to have Deel
from matches ignitel by mice. T e
loss is fully covered by insurance.
F1REMENs SERVICES APPRECIATED.
That the appreciation by the 'am ly |
Of the fremen's work went beyond mere
words was shown by the action of the
former when two checks were received
by Chief Young on Saturday-on- for |
$3.50 from Mrs. Howell AMI mother
for $50 from Mr.. John L Campbe II,
accompanied by the following letter; !
LEXINGTON, VA, October 81, 1899.
Mr.. FRANK YOU'VE,

My DEAR SIR
The enclosed checks from Mrs. Howell and
myself for the Fire Department are but
al inadequate expression Of what we all owe
and feel to its members for their gallant and
timely services in saving our home yester- |
day morning.

thanks OF all the members OF our household. |
Yours very truly,

Gaifney was but trifing. John H. Herd

suppose they would bring immoral wo-
men into them. and added that his
rooms had never been occupied by
either Owens or Herdman. The case was
dismissed.
