ELECTRICITY AND LIFE.

1t has been demonstrated that an
animal killed by electricity may be
brought to life. An ordinary cur
rent does not produce instant death
and if it we're possible to have in
readiness suitable apparatus, con-
sciousness could be restored by the
infusion of defbrinated blood. In a
a like manner, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. the we'll known tonic, infu-
ses life into debilitated bodies, by
revitalizing and purifying the blood.
This wonderful medicine permeates
and distributes nutritive material
to every part of the body, If its
quality or circulation is deranged,
trouble follows. Constipation, dys-
pepsia, liver and kidney disorders
all spring from weak condition of
the digestive organs, which affects
the blood, and through it the entire
body. The bitters cures all such
disorders and is an excellent spring
tonic.

We had a talk with Mr.. Madill,
owner of the electric light plant at
this place. He said he had given
his figures to Mr.. Yelton, as to
what he would take for the plant,
but he had no idea a sale would be
made. Mr.. Madill said he did not
think that there was any money in
an electric street car line in small
cities, and he thought it would be
some time before capital would be
risked in an electric line here. If
we cannot get an electric line, we
are in favor of trying to improve
the mule line. Many of our people
have become accustomed to ride on
the cars, and should they fail, even

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 condition OF the

When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely 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 nothing but
