Deafness Cannot he 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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
fiammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound Of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the lnflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but AN inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Over 100 Years Old.

Mr.. w. H. Ebinger has in his posses
sion a silver dollar of the date 1893
The most remarkable thing about it,
however, is that it was used in oav-
ment for some goods but day or two
ago. People usually hold pretty close
ly to such rare pieces of money. The
dollar is in good state of preservation
and appears to have had no great am
ount of wear. 1t is needless to say
that the coin will not get into circula-
tion again very soon. The date of the
dollar, 1893, is the same year in which
our first president, George Washington
died.

TALES OF TWO GOVERNORS.

William Allen was known as the
.'Iron Governor" of Ohio, not be-
cause he'd been an iron king or any,
thing like that, but because he had
not the slightest sympathy in the
world for criminal, and whenever
an applica ton was made to him to
pardon an erring one he was as
S'iron'' and could not be moved, so
he was called the ''Iron Governor.
One Thanksgiving eve he was
applied to for executive clemency
by the wife Of notorious horse
thief, and one who was serving a
third term at that. He sat at his
desk, his back turned to the tear
full pleader, not even condescend-
ing to look at her. She had
brought with her a 6ve-year-old
girl, who had been quietly watch
ing. Suddenly the child went to
him, and, pulling his coat tail,
said:
"You mean old thing, l want
my papa"
And the "Iron Governor"
snatched her up, kissed her smack
in the mouth, and said: "And
you shall have him.
True to his word, later that day
the wife and child came away from
the prison with the pardoned hus-
band and father.

Gov. Bob Taylor, Of Tennessee,
was just exactly opposite to Gov.
Allen, with as tender heart as a
woman, and the way he pardoned
out prisoners was something awful.

mittee of the Legislature, who very

him that this WHOLESALE pardoning

committee, tapped bell, asked
for his pardon clerk, and when he
came said:
"Make out pardons for every
man in the penitentiary."

committee, who were staring as
if they thought that he was going
