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 inflamed o have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness Is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; MIN cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the muscuous surfaces.

Fall River Mills Closing.

Fall River, Mass, July 9.-In com
pliance with an agreement signed by
representatives of most OF the cotton
mills in Fall River, to curtail produc-
ton for four weeks during n summer,
several mills today suspended opera
tons. All the mills represented on the
manufactures selling committee enter
into an agreement to close for o u
weeks. When the curtailment IS in
full operation, nearly 10000 employees
will be affected. The stoppage of ma
chinery is due TO the lack of demand
for print clothing.

Be Careful

No woman can be too careful Of
her condition during the period be-
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. 1t
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

Paris, June 5.

Paris, June IS.
Editors Messenger:
/ came owe to Paris from London
last Saturday morning, the 23rd. and
have been seeing the great n gay
and by night ever since. / have had
four fine views of the city and the ex-
position grounds-one from Arc de
Triomphe. one from the Pare d. ST.
Cloud, one from the great wheel. and
one and the grandest of all from the
Eifel tower. On Tuesday afternoon,
with a bright sun and a clear sky,
while standing on top OF the last nam
ed, l felt that the browning ven of
my trip around the world had come,
and that 1 was being rewarded with a
panorama such as ann be eQualed
in extent or interest, as the Eiffel
tower is one of the greatest modern
wonders or the world. From its top
h city of Paris appears little more
than a map. The view over France
however. is grand, extending, it is said,
fifty miles, till the Seine river looks
like a mere silver ribbon. Its total
height is 985 feet, and you may be sur
prised when L tell you that at this
great height there are eight places of
business and a business office, while
there are many more on the floors be-
low
The visitor here, unless he can speak
French, is Inconvenience at almost
every turn, and / u say that / have
not a half the trouble at any place
l have stopped on my trip as here as
to language.
The country from London here is
very pretty n is almost one con-
tinuous farm. The towns and villages
are near each other and generally very
pretty. Paris : altogether a different
looking city from London, as it is bet
ter looking n has better air, water
and buildings; but it looks to be one
OF the most wicked places in the world,
as last Sunday 1 could see no differ
ence from Saturday in a business way.
1t is surely gay n giddy Paris,
though very interesting in many re-
spects. According to the asst census it
contains $500, 900 population. 1t is
about go miles from London. The Seine
traverses it much as the Thames flows
through London. The exposition
grounds are on both sides of the river
and right in the city. They are very
much scattered, making it much more
difficult to get roun
Hoping to tell you more about the
exposition Dor / am,
Respectfully yours,

Liverpool, June 80.
Editors Messenger:
l am now seeing something of Eng
lands second largest town-Liverpool
so we'll known to Americans, espe-
cially that class who are at all inter
ested in the price of cotton. 1 like it
better here than / do London as far
as l have seen it. My trip from Paris
to Liverpool was very interesting, as
it was all in day light. AS in France
outside of Paris, the country is nearly
all under cultivation. From New Ha-
ven, which is the landing place, or one
Of them, on this side of the English
channel, on leaving France, to this
place, it seemed to be almost one con-
tinuouS farmland the farming the
nearest to perfection 1 think 1 have
ever seen. From New Haven here is
across the broadcast part of England,
almost, n it CAV m a fin oppor-
tunity of seeing part of one of the
oldest n greatest countries in the
world.
Just now American are in evidence
to a large degree in Europe. In this
place, London and Paris, especially,
are many of them to be seen. They
take in this place and London, many
OF them, while in attendance upon the
exposition. Then they go on all sorts
of excursions after as we'll as before
taking in the exposition. L saw a gen
tleman-an American-who took in
Italy while over here and he said that
country was full of Americans. Great
attention is paid to them.
On a london and Northwestern rail-
road folder l see the following:
1T is the wish of the directors of
the London and Northwestern Railway
Company that every attention should
be paid to the comforts and require
mentS of American passengers using
their line and hotels, and the servants
have special instructions to see that
nothing is wanted to accomplish this.
This (the Northwestern) hotel is spe-
cially appointed for the convenience of
American Travellers" etc.
l am now getting more news from
the states than since I left San Fran
cisco, and most of it unusually inter
esting. 1 see from a London paper that
on account Of the reports from the
states in regard to wheat the price of
-four over here has gone up very much
and as a result the bakers have put
up the price of bread and it is being
severely felt.
1t is America, America, with the
people over here. Nearly every one 1
talk with intends to or hopes to some
day get to America if he has not been
there.

OUR STREET CARNIVAL.

Carnival week is to be gala week for
the people of this city and the adjacent
country. Work for this end is being en-
Enthusiastically pushed by the various
committees organized under the auspices
of the local lodge OF the Order of Elks.
These committees have planned and are
now working to make this enterprise a
success in every direction, to make it
carnival-a week Of festivity--such as
shall arouse the latent spirit of this city
and secure its exercise along the lines Of
hospitality, social good viii, mirth and
business. The promotion Of these essen
tial characteristics OF p ,pular and sue
cessful community cannot fail to be
beneficial in large way TO this city.
The eyery.da, -attend-to.your own,busi

as Il t- capacit.rs !ot he promotion of
qualities tnat make il d place worth
living III, and tliat makes lie worth

The carnival projectors propose to
break into that system Of isolation and
give iie people week Of business AM
soctl communion of which our street
markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
and our Saturday evening promenades
on Market street, are but faint types.
These things are enjoyable, and in many
ways fascinating features of our business
and social life. They are known and
enjoyed by only part OF the people
here, and by lees number of those
who live elsewhere outside OF
the city. Te these the carnival will be a
great street market and promenade in
and on which they will not only find
their neighbors ard friends, but come
into contact with curious, entertaining
and instructive phases OF life such as
have only been enjoyed by the favored
few among the people. Success in this
enterprise will be a revelation of the
city's resources and capacity that must
not only create feeling of good will
among the people, but incite their civic
pride-make them believe in and care
for the prosperity and happiness of its
people to degree never before realized.
To the merchants and business men Of
the city the carnival offers great oppor.
tnnty for advertising their business on
one side and the city on the other; to
them viii come the business benefits OF
tie carnival; they can afford it and ought
TO assure tie success Of the enterprise.

the following under Butte (Mon.) date
li"P:
The plot Of the play why Smith

rfnor Spriggs the opportunity to receive
Senator Clarks resignation and quickly
lcappoint him, is both interesting and
nlnGsns. Credit for the trick is given to
rom Kinds. one of Clark's political en-
gilcers, and To the senator's son, Charles
w. Clark, Kinds was also a friend of
Miles Finlen, one of the strongest of anti
Clark men, and together they had an in
terest in some mining property in Grass
Valley. Finen before his departure for
Europe instructed Kinds to negotiate a
deal for the sale Of the property to Cal
ifornia company. Kinds called on Gov
ernor Smith and said il was Finlen's de-
sire that he attend to the legal end OF
the mining deal, adding that there was a
good, fat fee in it for him. In fact, Kinds
proposed to pay all of the governors ex-
penses to California and said he would
accompany him personally and gu;, ,ntce
him good time
EARLY last week Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs announced that he was going to
attend the Pnpulst convention at Sioux
Falls and would be absent from the state
for ten days. Kinds urged Governor
Smith to attend to the mining deal in
California al onrc, as the probable par
chasers We're Incoming impatient. The
governor called Edwin Norris, president
of the last state senate, TO the governors
chair during the absence Of Spriggs.
Norris is an anti-Clark man. Governor
Smith left Butte early last week, accom-
panied by Kinds, his destination being
Grass Valley, Cal. Spriggs had in the
meantime left for Sioux Falls, but a tel
cgram apprisrd him of GoversssF Smiths
absence, and after attending the first
days session of the ropulist convention
he liurriedly returned to Montana and
ousted Norris from the gubernatorial

] Frank Alice is out in card this
N ruins in The SrN, making Hugh G..

unity in the Republican party.-Daiy
Republican.
We beg leave to inform our esteemed
and Jealous contemporary that the
card" referred to in the quotation given
above is the proposition authorized by
the Union Republican State Central
Committee, and published over Mr.. AL
lees signature in January last, and that
there is nothing new about it. 1t is the
proposition which the so.called regu-
lar Republican State Committee refused
to consider, and to which it replied in a
scandaleus and abusive tirade of false
hood against Mr.. J. Edward Addicks in
particular, and against Unicn Republi-
cans in general. Copies of this PROPOSE
tion, together with the resolutions
The sun., 1900-05-18

adopted by the rec, mt Union Republic
can Convention, ave been submitted to
President Mckinley, and members OF
the National Republican Committee, as
expressing the sentiment and purpose OF
tie Union Republican party in this State,
and as the only basis upon which Re-
publican success in this State can be as
sured. 1t was made and is b2ing con-
tinued in all sincerity and loyalty to Re-
publican principles and to the National
Republican party.
That this proposition, conceding to the
Anti-Addicksites more than they could
claim on any just basis, considering the
impossibility of their election OF single
officer in all the State if as they seem to
be doing, they insist upon the making OF
two Republican tickets for the coming
election, is the strongest and most con-
vincing evidence that can be adduced OF
loyalty and sincerity of the Union Re-
publieans of this State to the Republican
cause, and to the national Republican
party. Its acceptance in<the spirit in
which it was (is) made assures complete
4 Republican victory in this State at tie
coming election. In conceding more
than even lax justice between strong,
vigorous progressive party IN which are
all the promise and possibilities Of sue
cess, TO faction whose only claim to no
tcp is a probable ability to defeat the
fatty, this proposition is generous to the
limit ii generosity ifnot beyond it.
lii its generosity this proffer Of the
Union Republicans is more than prof
fer for party unity. 1t is an appeal tc
reason, to the sentim ent OF loyalty to the
Union Of States aid to high political pur
pose that has always been distinguish
ing characteristic OF Republican politics
an appeal to memory recalling the lorg
struggle against odds created by the
perversion of law, the misuse of powel
in administration, and lawlessness il
conducting and determining the result 0
elections; an appeal to ardent hopes Ions
deferred but which may now be reaizeC
to the welfare of every citizen-the goot
name and future welfare of the State.
: With these possibilities made prob
i able, with victory all through the Stat
f within reach, it is folly to hesitate in thu
acceptance of terms tor party unit.
W .ich meet every demand of justice ant
ger erosity; obstruction under such cir
: Gun stances is criminal. Such obstruc
. tion can have no reasonable defence an,
should be repudiated by every SINGER
: Republican in the State. The acceptanc
: OF this proposition by individual Repuh
licans, and their announcement of it viii
assure success despite the rejection OF
