NO PEACE ~OVERTURES
Received by Salisbury From Kruger.
British Troops Nearing Johannes
burg-Exodus From Pretoria.

London, May 21.-The Associated
Press is able to say that no message
from President Kruger, direct or in
direct, has recently been received by
Lord Salisbury or any department of
the British government, nor, it may be
added, is any communication from him
dealing with the question of cessation
of hostilities expected by them in the
immediate future.
The proximity of peace, according
to the government point OF view, VIII
remain a matter of military progress.
How soon the latter may bring about
the former is still too suppoSititiouS Tor
a serious forecast on the part of any
government official. The concensus of
opinion. as CLEANED by the Associated
Press at the government office, is that
the Boer delegates will exhaust every
effort in the United States before Pres
ident Kruger sues directly, though
Lord Salisbury does not himself be-
lieve that the delegates will accom-
plish much in America.
1t is announced that Colonel Baden
Powell will be made a major-general.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only n way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the muscous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inf1amed you a a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, n when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the muscuous surfaces.

raised. Two overtures were offered:

general, there being a great diversit.-
of opinion among the commissioners

read, this was differently construed by
the commissioners, who made argu-
mentS for and against the reception
iof the oVertures.

been received from individuals during
the present session, and a motion from
Elder ]. l.. Dean that the o%vertures be

showing that institution to be in a
prosperous condition.

confession of faith Of the church was
presented from the Brazos CTexas)

hand down to the presbyteries for

'I was in a most dreadful condition.

sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-

gradually growing weaker day by day.
Three physicians had given me UP.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
Electric Bitters'; and to my great joy
and surprise the first bottle made a de-
cided improvement. / continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of another VIC
