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 inhamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness Is the result, and un-
less 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 inham
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

DEATH WITHOUT A MOMENTS WARNING.

A most distressing accident occurred
on a narrow and siding roadway be-
tween Coon town house and the Valley,
last Tuesday night, in which Mr.. John
A. Neprud lost his life. There was no
eye witness to the fatal affair, and ac-
curacy concerning it is not attempted.
Mr.. Neprud had been to Minertown and
Westby witha load of -four that day.
Returning, he passed the town house
soon after six o'clock, and it must have
been a halt-horr later, quite dark, rainy
and slippery, when he approached the
location where he met sudden and aw-
full death. There is no indication that
his team was running away at the time
they went over the fifteen foot embank-
ment and upon the rocks. The mutt
lated remains of Mr.. Neprud were not
discovered till the morning following
by a passer-by. His body was found
underneath the wagon box, the rod
that holds the box together having
penetrated and broken his jaw. His
head was otherwise disfigured and the
body somewhat bruised. Very close
to the body lay the dead carcass of one
of the horses that composed his team,
neck broken. The other animal, by
some means, had released himself from
the smash-up and was found u~ninjured
and grazing very near the wreck.
1t was thought unnecessary to hold an
inquest, and the remains were taken
home to the sorrowing family, who re-
side in the village of Coon Valley.
Funeral services were held at the Luz
theran church, where the deceased had
long lent his influence and support. The
attendance was very large, attesting
the high esteem in which Mr.. Neprud
was held by his neighbors and ~acquaint
ances.
John A. Neprud was about fifty Yeas
old; he had resided at Coon Valley the
greater portion of his life. He leaves a
widow and two daughters. and a large
number of relatives. He was a reserved,
thorough and intelligent gentleman,
well-liked in his everyday and bust
ness life. He held a third proprietary
interest in the valuable Coon Valley
Touring mills, and had much of the out
side affairs to look after in connection
with the business.

Unfinished Foot Ball Contest.

The Sparta high school team came up
and played foot ball with the Viroqua
team last Saturday, but the game
ceased Ii minutes before the time limit
in the second half of the game, the visi-
tors having failed to score a point
while the home boys he'd five points to
their credit. A play was made on
which the umpire was unable to give a
decision. After some contention the
Viroqua's expressed a willingness to
yield the point in order that the game
might proceed, but the visitors appeared
quite anxious to desert the field and did
so, offering as their excuse that they
would be unable to play the minute and
fifteen seconds their due, and still make
the evening train, which left the station
an hour and a half later. The game
was well contested and 1T is to be re-
GREETED that there was friction, and too
frequent combat of words.
