That Missing S4OO, 900, 900.

A few months ago the Treasury De-
partment at Washington requested
certain experts in New York City to
make an investigation with the intent
to show, if possible, where about $4OO,
100000 of gold estimated to be in this
country, but not visible really is. The
experts have not made much progress,
excepting that they are satisfied this is
not an overestimate, and that some
where in the United States in stock
ings or jewelry or in secret drawers,
or in the teeth of the American people
this gold must be discovered, if discov-
cred at all.
Possibly as much as one-third of it
is in jewelry, and these ornaments, and
the use of gold in the mechanical arts,
may explain where one half of it is.
At rough estimate, considerable
more than 800, ,OOO,O 900 of gold is being
boarded, but if the gold standard be
maintained, and gold comes more and
more into general circulation, the
probability is that considerable part
of this will come out of it's hiding
place.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf,
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
ipfiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum,
bling SOUND or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inhamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh'
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

THE BLACK MAN in WAR.
showed Themselves to be Gorgeous Fighters
In the Cuban Conflict.

The negro soldiers who took part in
the Cuban fighting made for them
selves very creditable record. Ac-
cording to reports given out by the
War Department this record has been
improved upon by the negro officers
and privates who are serving their
country in the Philippines. They
have shown themselves to be amend
able to discipline in camp and effec-
tive and courageous fighters in the
field. There is a peculiar fitness in
sending Afro Americans to make our
wars in the topics. They can better
endure the tropical heats, and if they
be willing they should be encouraged
to enlist for the Philippine service. In
the war of the rebellion thousands upon
thousands of white men gave their
lives to enfranchise the blacks. If the
black man should now lend himself to
the task of finishing up the establish
ment of American sovereignty in the
Philippine archipelago he might in
some sort repay the debt incurred
when his bonds were unloOsed at such
| frightful cost to his emancipators. =

was the withdrawal from the race for

for speech declared emphatieally that

With the added reiteration OF National
Committeeman Kerens that he would un-
der no circumstances become a delegate

is the principal one of the convention,
was simplified.
The convention Will doubtless finish it's
