A Cure Per Discouragment.

We grow weary because we are
discouraged, and we become dis
couraged because we have forgot
ten God. No man can keep the
thought Of God in his heart and be
wholly disheartened. Do we con
slider what we do when we declare
that Gods work is vain? Let me
tell you, we are giving the lie to our
professions at believing his prom
Uses. When we conclude that it is
useless for right to try to cope
with wrong, have we forgotten the
divine assurance that those that be
for us or more than those that can
be against? The Christian who
has faith will not take great ac-
count of present discouragements
He knows whom he has believed,
and is persuaded that he is able to
keep that which he has committed
to Him against that day.

DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they caunot
reach the diseased portion CT the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachisn Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are cause d
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

THE BOXERS.
Something About the Boxers of
China.
They Oppose Christianity and
Civilization.

Rev. DIR. ID. 4. Sheffield, President
OF the North China College of the
American Board of Foreign Missions,
who has been selected by the First
Congregational Church of Chicago to
be its missionary in foreign lands, gave
lecture at the church He has been
in China thirty years. Speaking of
the present situation in hat country
he said:
III have the gravest apprehension of
danger to the mission stations in
Northern China. The Boxers are not
upheld openly by the government but
secretly.
"The Boxers are also known as the
Society of the Great Knife They are
banded together for the preservation
of conservatism. They are religion
fanatics, claiming that spirits urge
them on, and they are immuned from
death or injury as long as they re-
main loyal to the silent voices.
"At first they attacked the native
churches belonging to the Roman
Catholic missions, but soon began to
wage war on the Protestant churches
and missions as well.
"They have DESTROYED seven hun
dred houses belonging to the Roman
Catholics and three hundred belong
ing to the Protestant denominations.
They are adding 10 their numbers and
it will take the most strenuous efforts
on the part of the Chinese Govern
ment to suppress them.

To the Democrats of Kentucky
am candidate for the nomina
tion of Governor, to be made at
hthe Lexington convention on July
,o%9, subject to a call made by the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee. l desire to make this pub
lie announcement of my candidacy
because it will be impossible for
me to make canvass of the State
for the nomination, owing to the
duties imposed upon me now as
Governor. These duties are such
that they require my constant at
tention in my office, and / am I'M
willing to sacrifice them in order
to further my political interests.
The duties here are very combining
and exacting. / must therefore
bely upon the people throughout
the State TO give my candidacy
their thoughtful and generous con-
sideration, and if they believe that
l am worthy of the high honor l
seek ask them to give me the ben
eft of their support and assistance.
Since the death Of Gov. Goebel,
ON February 3 l have endeavored
to faithfully guard the interests of
the people and to intelligently dis
charge the various duties of the
office of Governor as best 1 could
under the trying times that have
surrounded us here at your State
I capitol. AS to whether my efforts
>Gaave. been crowned with any degree
Df success, or whether or not have
! made acapable official, l leave to
the record and to the judgment of
all fair-minded men. In all that
have done / have striven to carry
out the policies of the party to the
best of my ability, because / be-
leve those policies to be to the
best interests of our State.
The few months / have served as
your Chief Executive have marked
a critical period in our States his
tory. The conditions surrouning
me have been unusual and the diff
!, ficulties confronting me extraordi-
nary. / have tried to meet them
honestly, calmly and intelligently,
and with the earnest desire to do
that which was best for the people
of our Commonwealth. Whether
or not / have succeeded is to be de
termined by you.
If | should be favored with the
nomination at the Lexington con.
vention promise to uphold and
promulgate the principles and doc
trines of the Democratic party, and, !
If elected Governor, l shall concen-
trate all the ability and energy |
that | possess to give a clean, hon
est and economical administration |
of all the affairs over which the
Governor has control. shall use
all the power the office of Governor
confers to uphold and sustain the
laws of our State, and see to it that |
law and order are maintained.
If / have any claims to the NOM
! ination they are before you for
your consideration, <nd whatever
may be your judgment upon them,

submission to that judgment as a
Democrat and Kentuckian.
